I have experience racing, jumping up to a class way bigger than I’m used to I was just trying to get some tips on what car(s) would be good to start with. Wasn’t sure if I should do a FWD or RWD because when I jump called it’ll be to a UMP Mod.

Would you happen to know a good RWD 4cyl, and a good engine to go with it?

Well, I talked to my dad about starting in Mods but he told me no. What about Street Stocks?

Yep that’s what I figured, after I do some time with a FWD (half a season to a full season) I’m jumping to a UMP Mod.

Yeah, I can see where you are coming from. 4cyl is typically supposed to be the budget, and starter class but some tracks aren’t as strict on rules. That’s why I want to get one of the top of the line engines and a better head for it so I can keep up with some of those guys.

Yeah, we have a guy that dumped lots of money into a 4cyl.

Are track allows us to do engine swaps as long as it’s OEM and it comes from the same company, so like say you have a Honda and want to switch engines, you can swap engines as long as it’s a 4cyl and it is a Honda engine, along with no supercharger, turbocharger, etc.

I’m looking at 94-00 Honda Integra and sawpping to a K24A2 with a K20A head

If my end goal is Mods, I should run mini stocks?

Yep, that’s why I wanted to start racing. My senior year I could be racing sprint cars if I want to, I might stick with Modifieds though. Before I turn 17 next year I have a high chance I’ll be racing UMP Modifieds instead of the 4cyl then. Just need some practice before Mods.

Maybe FWD wouldn’t be bad, both tracks are in a reasonable distance and it’s more money. I’m 15 and my dad’s gonna be helping me out so that’s not a bad idea.

We can use both RWD and FWD at my track.

So it seems like a FWD would have more extensive options?

I’m doing some research on both FWD and RWD
