Peoples Republic of Comrade Underground Cup [View Results]

[Manche]

Comrade Jakgoe taught me about the secrets of selecting the right valvetrain and fuel injection systems when on a limited budget But beware, my build is not actually all about power!

You and I have to talk.....

Is 98 RON Super leaded fuel allowed or not?

If it isn't, could you please make that clear on the OP?

If it is, can the submitted cars be altered to run with that fuel?

While searching for superior engines from the peoples republic, Uri found a Mr Jeremija Clarkski, who offered a new capitalist engine with more than 600 horse powers. However, Uri smart, Uri saw that engine was fat like capitalist pig. Still, Uri thorough and ask for price. He work out we could just about afford capitalist engine by selling parts of glorious clunker. Uri realised that cheaper parts and heavy engine make glorious clunker worse at corners than school bus, so he continue looking for good engine

I am going to run a quick poll on fuel, as I have receive a lot of questions about it.

[np1993]

Here is a poll, i recommend all participants take.

Send it in, I will remove your previous entry, if its named the same, please add v2 or something to the name so I can tell the difference.

So much fun to be had in this competition! I can't wait to see the crazy ways people modify the iconic Comrade Clunker

[np1993]

Honestly I am suprised. Everything from highboost 1.7l I4 to a 6.3l fuel injected v8. No 6I's though :-/

Thanks for being THAT GUY on my behalf. I also found an extra 5 seconds.

I think a v8 craze has swept the people of Comrade. old I4's are littering scrapyards as black market v8's are taking over the racing scene.

Is all uri's fault! I tried to use good approved engine but he kept saying "cousin nikolai why wasting time on tiny ponies? Come see new vee 8's, have whole country's worth of horses !"

[Reaper392]

Uri also tell me that "I6 engine longer than train, you may have I6 but only if you sit on gearbox".

It's really cool that everyone's doing engine swaps and such (and more power to you ) but the basic car also has a lot of potential in it... I built a Clunker that was solely based on parts available in Comrade and re-tuning and hand-building of the existing design and I got some surprising results!

Basic clunker goes 0-100 in 18.9 sec and does the track at 122.38 whereas the lovingly hand-built, blueprinted and honed version of the clunker (with a mil-spec 4 speed man from a Gov't truck) does 0-100 in 8.5 sec and the track in 102.4 (1:42.45)!

I think I'm enjoying this competition a little TOO much!

I look forward to the results! The clunker is oddly lovable, tiny wheels, the engine (stock) blows up if it revs over 5k, a 18.9 0-100 time, no safety features... its the people car among peoples cars!

I've built 3 cars myself, I won't compete them but its a fun scenario with a lot to think about (where did you get the engine from? how big of an engine will fit? how far off budget am I? did that fix it? etc)
