can you make a good track time attack car using only junkyard parts?
I'm sure you could find usable stuff there like brakes and other parts

just make this patchwork frankenstein car out of a honda or something
>>
No, because good brakes, tires, and bushings aren't going to be in a scrap yard.

says who

your mum
>>
>>15168923
A. somebody who would put those parts on a car would salvage them from it before sending it to the junkyard
B. If they didn't, rubber kinda likes to rot and get fucked up from just sitting out there.
>>
>>15168823
No, but you could make a decent chump car if you spend a hell of a lot of time browsing scrap yards. Time attack is a lot of custom fabbing, not junk yard or even off the shelf performance parts. I hope you are good at machining and working with composites.

How you think 90s civics get irs. From boneyard integras
>>
aren't there junkyards that break exotics?
>>
>>15168823
Yes but you're gonna have to grind and weld.
>>
You could do that if you wanted to spend more than buying a nice running car on a piece of shit that won't work. This is one of those questions that if you even have to ask it's not going to happen. If you really want to build a cheap race car find a running car on Copart or similar with a non-rebuildable title (can never be registered again), every once in a while a half decent car will pop up with one.

>>15170109
I dont listen to morons from jalopnik who obsess over drivetrains
>>
>>15168823
You can, if you manage to get your hands on a salvaged performance car with tires, brakes, suspension and powertrain intact and only need miscellaneous parts from the junkyard like lights, interior and body parts.
>>
You can build a pretty decent foxbody with newer model mustang parts
>>
>>15170072
IRS means racing tires and brakes now?
>>
>>15170268
You're gonna need aftermarket parts to make it handle.
>>
>all these naysayers
>>
You can make it handle a straight line real gud
>>
>>15171020
nah sun, have fun buying shitty parts thinking you're "better" cause they're brand new
>>
>>15168823
no, of course not.

>>
>>15168823
Google "model t gt". Also just get a cheap miata and gut it for maximum gravity reduction.
>>
>>15173304
No way I don't want a miata

I don't know anything about making time attack cars, but junkyard race cars are definitely a thing.
>>
>>15170028
The bracing on the hood does next to nothing for the car's structure, it's just there to keep the bonnet from flapping in the breeze

Nah
>>
>>15180467
Not really. The people saying OP can't do it have probably actually been to a junkyard and pulled parts before, much unlike OP, who is the kind of faggot who asked a question even though he clearly already knows what he wants to do.
OP will never, ever, in a million years, be able to find the parts to make a GOOD time attack car. Maybe a decent chump car, but that's it.
>>
>>15180467
I can make a race car out of wood and. doesn't mean it's going to be competitive.
>>
>>15183166
Not with that attitude
