Is This the Ultimate Budget Race Car Build?!

Yes, you can build a tube-chassis race car with DIY aero at home for less than $2000. How to do that? Watch this video and learn how a cast-off Subaru 360 microcar was transformed into something that could outrun a Dodge Viper. GRM forum member nocones drove his Subaru LMP360 to first place at the Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge presented by Tire Rack.

Check out how you can bring your car to the 2023 $2000 Challenge:

One of my all-time favorite builds for a GRM competition. Epic.

This is a great example of American ingenuity. What a lot of thought Hardwork and preparation can do without spending a ton of money congratulations!

Amazing progress since last year! Subaru needs to take inspiration from this and start a true LMDh program of their own.

The build is the journey. Driving what you built is the cherry on top.

That’s awesome! Great build, I’d love to see more builds like this

[raymondjack]

Bro whatever people think or how well it works, you made a lmp1 car out of a car not anywhere close to what it was designed for, amazing job man.

I want to give this more than one like. This is a cool project and I hope to see more of it in the future.

[subhagatadatta]

[johnosborne]

Amazing build. Love the look and it obviously goes well too!

[HeidiFegles]

I love how he took a gen 1 Subaru and turned it into a full on race car. So bad ass

[losingmyfavoritegame]

I love what you've done! I aspire to do something like you have!

[nathanielrittenhouse]

Dang looks awesome. I have a 1968 360 but it needs a lot of parts to finish

[Daniel-jngy]

Love the design would like to see a almost direct copy but with better materials so it can last for longer with the funding it could actually be a time attack beast light weight, down force and power already looks good wonder what a bit of money could achieve on this.

[jensenhealeyefi]

Nothing in the video says anything about the engine used in the car. Anyone know anything about that?

[azertyQ]

is the aero functional at autocross speeds?
