OK....listen up...You love that car!....OK....Now with that said,I like the idea of the S2000/Celica GT hibrid.......Now for that vicky...you are NOT tossing it away for some little frame damage after all you went through with it...No No No...You will be putting it aside and looking for an even better frame you wanted to further that car as much as you can and now that the frame is holding you back there is NO reason to give in and junk it....Or get rid of it YOU WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOURSELF!..Trust me I know all too well myself.

How about...
...are you ready for this?
Swap the Vic body/drivetrain onto and 03 frame. Old school looks with modern engineering driving it.

well I wasnt going to outright say it but thats what i was thinking.....lolComment

That's a lot of money and time, that sadly I am losing interest in doing. I think what I would like is to have a nice cruising Vic with decent performance, and a track Celica.

ARG.....Ok I have seen this before.......you need a break....Not a break up but just a break so you can clear your thoughts.....I am sure some body could help with the swap...and there is wrecked newer Vick's on sale all the time...like right now, there is a 99 for 500 bucks...and I am sure if we asked around in your area we could find an 03 frame for around 300 at a yard.Comment

lol, a wrecked frame is not what i want. A frame in general is not what I want. If I made this car a full track car a full frame to body permanent weld together plus a cage would be on order. A big task, that would end up being more weight and more time for a more anoying chassis.Comment

Thats part of the fun though...How to make the boat fast on the track....then drive it home....its just part of the challenge

Perhaps he feels as if he's gone about as far as he can with this chassis as he can (which I suspect he has) and wants to try something else. I don't blame him one bit...I'd hate to see the SVT Vic disappear as much as anyone else would, but the real truth is that it can't last forever, and there are still a lot of other cool panther chassis cars out there. And seeing what Blaze did with what started out as a big, slow, poor-handling boat, I'd love to see what he can do with a slow, quick, good-handling car.Originally posted by CapridrifterThats part of the fun though...How to make the boat fast on the track....then drive it home....its just part of the challenge

There won't be anything left...I'll take the whole thing and replace the frame. The wagon is just too heavy. Too much stress on the backend parts.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

So what, you're going to sell the wagon? Or keep it for a cruiser and race the Vic?2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!
