Buy something that you can leave totally standard from an engine point of view, but gut it COMPLETELY. I'm thinking about that Honda they did a few years ago where they took a standard Honda Civic (non VTEC I think) and did a 17/18 odd second 1/4 with it, then progressively cut it up and re-ran it, I think it ended up in the 12's without any engine work??!!! I think it ended up being a floorpan/seat and engine.

It must have been a chassis, seat and engine because that is an M3 embarrassing time and at an educated guess knocking on cars with 300bhp/tonne. If that was the case a non-VTEC Civic (say VTI for arguments sake even with 150bhp) would have to have weighed about 500kg to equal that. Standard E36 M3 Evo's run roughly mid-high 13s and off memory think they something like 260bhp/tonne.

How is it that people think converting a KA to cossie will be quicker than getting the Mk3 ready?

Just buy a cheap 2WD Saph, chop everything unnecessary out, weld the diff and stick the Mk3's rear wheels on it, bit of sniff and its happy days!
Bonus points if you can make the downpipe come out the bonnet

That car was a giggle, remember stripping everything out of it sat inside with the engine running just hacking the loom out of it, if the engine cut out we knew that wire was needed
