... Seriously? I'm on here but I guess I missed that one. I tried it with my Prelude, but I was never able to get a definitive result. I guess I'll search around and try and do some more reading before doing that again then.

Right now I'm more focused on the body than anything else. I know the engine plays a huge role as well, but for right now my concern is with the body. I was playing around with the idea of using a prowler style front end, but I think the distance between the front wheels and the chassis is too short. I am gonna try and do at least 3 revisions of the car if I have to (not the entire body though), but that way I can change engines and such.

But,
Joenavy - If I used one of those adapters, I would try and use an old diesel Rabbit engine. I don't think I'd need a first gear lockout with one of those because they're not super-powerful as far as I know. Having a hard time bringing up specs on one, go figure.
