I ran a 2003 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V with zero reinforcing besides the basic three bars to protect the drivers compartment. No welded bumpers, no welded axles, nothing. That little 2.5L was unstoppable. I finished 4th in my heat (got stuck) but, the PT Cruiser that finished 2nd snapped the frame, and it folded up into his drivers seat, so he bowed out of the finals for safety reasons. The 1999 Camry that finished 3rd jumped the timing, so I got the go into the finals. I had to move the gas tank (because the ass end packed in so much), and I only made it about 65 seconds before a CV axle ripped itself out of the hub, but still made a few solid hits (including the massive hit on the blue and white Civic that knocked the guy out of his seat).
My Heat:
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Finals:
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
As for why I wrecked a Sentra SE-R? It was a one owner car that had dealer records from new, and only had 120,000kms. But it was rotted, real bad. It had no rockers, and the subframe was letting go behind the rear seats (hence why the ass-end packed in so hard). Also, the motor burned oil like you wouldn’t imagine. Still, that QR25DE coupled to that 6-speed was unstoppable. I felt bad that the CV axle let go, because that motor had so much life left.
Next year? Maybe something slightly bigger. Say, a 2.5L Altima? Seems unstoppable to me.

I felt bad, they still had like 75% tread when I got the car. But, I really wanted to do well so, they died with the car.

Banger Racing properly scares the crap out of me. I have no idea what the main end goal is, and I love it purely for that.

finishing first... oddly enough... they run teams.. usually 2 cars beating the shit out of anything not their color and 1 trying to get laps in

Okay this I did not know. I thought it was an every person for themselves sport. This kinda changes my outlook on it. I’ve tried before to look up the “official” banger racing rules, only to become more confused.

some people are racing just for shits and giggles but the winners tend to be teams

I’m pretty sure they are the size I use, 205/55-16. I’m on winter number 5 on mine. This will probably be their last winter.

Close. These were 205/60R15 on factory Nissan steelies. The guy who owned the car ONLY bought Nissan parts. Even the steelies.
