Yea ANTRX has its ups and down, like Colby has said, back in the days the biggest thing on ANTRX was the CAI's, clear indicators and swaybars. Now that everyone has gotten past the cheap and nasties no-one can really afford some serious mods for their car (i can talk as im one of them, want to rebuild the bluey and boost it but funds are stopping me big time).

ANTRX got me into spending money on my car, i bought the bluey with my own $$ ($8000) and since then have been pretty damn poor, so mods have been limited to practically nothing. Thanks ANTRX...nah still love ya. Its a good club, but deffinately needs to be spiced up a little!!

Maybe start some sort of game that might go on for a while, have a bit of a clean up of un-needed threads and posts so it doesnt look like we are talking about shit all the time.

Keep up the good work ANTRXers and keep them U12/U13 going strong.

Good to have a car that stands out (like mine)..hehe

This is all well and good, but there are too many issues with who will pay for it all, who will look after the car, who it will be registered to, who will pay those costs, who'll drive it, etc, etc...

I agree there is nothing to say it has to be registered... probably better that way in fact.  Just run it places on either a trailer, or a temp road permit for special meets.
Still think that money would be the issue.  unless the for sale section starts taking cuts of items sold on it ebay style?

i recon its a possibilty.

i could pose as a film student type, apply for a grant from the government, make a crappy 5 min video and keep the other 15k for a ANTRX.com project car.....

all we need is 300 odd people to donate $15 (thats $4500 for those playing at home) to get a shell or whatever, then have fundraisers or something to make some money for the next mod..

damn man anyone who thinks people on this forum have a bad attitude should just post a thread in Honda-tech.com like "what is vtec" or something.  then you will see what a forum with lots of people in a shitty mood is all about.  better to be boring than to be excruciatingly redundant, and almost completely useless.

A project car sounds like a great idea. And a donation account would be a good way to do it. Also as colby (i think) said have a heap of writeups on how things were done to it.

Could have fundraisers such as sausage sizzles at local car shows etc to get donations and raise money. Sausage sizzles always raise money!!!  ;)

i could, and im sure plenty of other ppl could, get a working car for a grand, probly under - depending on wat sort of base we wanted to start on. donations could also be made at cruises, or as others said, by paypal. i think we could make a real go of it. donations could even be spare parts. it would b really cool.

if we were ever to do a project car maybe to start with, see how much interest can b generated, have like a quota for donations b4 the car goes ahead, and if we dont reach that quota those who have donated get there money back

Not to be a spoilsport, but just looking at some of the forum stats: a mere 170 or so of our 1675 members have a postcount over 100 (and that's not subtracting the ones inactive for a long time).  Though I realise this is a very poor proxy for willingness to help out as far as donations go, it may be a reasonable proxy for the level of dedication we could expect to such a project, from the club as a whole.  I don't think there's enough people who stick around long enough (i.e. who don't sell their U12's) to see something like this through - a small amount of people would probably end up contributing the bulk of the resources to such a project.
