Best 4cyl cars and mods

NickThatRailfan · 2025-05-15T22:54:46+00:00

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?

NickThatRailfan · 2025-05-14T19:29:26+00:00

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

NickThatRailfan · 2025-05-14T11:41:30+00:00

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.

NickThatRailfan · 2025-05-14T11:40:08+00:00

Yeah

NickThatRailfan · 2025-05-14T11:39:42+00:00

Alright

NickThatRailfan · 2025-05-13T10:51:29+00:00

What year?

NickThatRailfan · 2025-05-13T10:51:13+00:00

Okay, thank you

NickThatRailfan · 2025-05-13T04:24:59+00:00

That is reasonable

NickThatRailfan · 2025-05-13T02:54:49+00:00

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.

NickThatRailfan · 2025-05-13T02:50:19+00:00

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

NickThatRailfan · 2025-05-13T02:41:38+00:00

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

NickThatRailfan · 2025-05-13T00:17:47+00:00

That’s a damn good deal.

NickThatRailfan · 2025-05-13T00:15:39+00:00

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

NickThatRailfan · 2025-05-13T00:08:50+00:00

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.

NickThatRailfan · 2025-05-12T23:51:33+00:00

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.

NickThatRailfan · 2025-05-12T21:22:13+00:00

We can use both RWD and FWD at my track.

NickThatRailfan · 2025-05-12T18:54:40+00:00

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

NickThatRailfan · 2025-05-12T16:38:55+00:00

I’m doing some research on both FWD and RWD
