1985 Dodge Omni GLH Turbo This car was built up to compete in the Grassroots Motorsports $2008 Challenge in October of 2008. Its a race where you have to build a race car for drag racing, autocross, and show and you have to do it all for less than $2008 including the purchase price of the car. The car has a small photo in the April 2009 issue of Grassroots Motorsports magazine. Converted to '87 style ECU 2 pc intake Big Isuzu NPR Intercooler crude 5th injector setup A555 transmission Cable shifter Lexan windows in the rear doors and hatch Ebay coilovers nearly new KYB GR2 struts up front AGX adjustable shocks out back (from a DSM) VW GTI front seats on custom rails Toyo Proxes street rubber mounted on "pizza" wheels (good tread, but some dry-rot cracking) Hoosier 205/50/15 race tires (not sure what model designation, see pix) BFG Drag Radials (two, 225/50/15) extra set of "snowflake" rims Autometer Tach and Boost gauge EGT gauge Cyberdyne coolant temp gauge NEW starter NEW head gasket spare timing belt included Pretty rust free body. The pass. side floor was getting a bit rusty and had a couple small (1/4" or smaller) holes. I treated the floorpan with rust treatment and filled the holes w/ bondo. Ran a 14.0@97mph in the quarter on a shakedown pass with 14psi boost and an eyeball alignment. Then developed a miss and didn't run great at the '08 Challenge. What's wrong with it, you ask? It won't start. After the Challenge it sat for many months. When I tried to revive it the starter motor would only spin the motor at quarter speed, "wuh-wuh-wuh", even while being jumped off a running vehicle. So I ordered a new starter. After many more months I finally got the new starter installed. And guess what? "wuh-wuh-wuh" it still only spins at quarter speed. It also doesn't seem to have spark. This is where I gave up. I'd guess at the very least it needs new starter/battery cables. There didn't seem to be any corrosion on the starter's terminals or connectors, but maybe the wire is corroded/broken inside the insulation somewhere. I dunno. This car has been plagued by electrical gremlins since day one and I've done some hacky things to get it running. So I'd suggest it would need a new harness and computer and such to get going. I'd recommend a turbo minivan's harness and single underhood computer (check the turbo mopar forums for info on this) or a Megasquirt and you'll be good to go! $2008 Challenge autocross: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO4B7r5ADpc $2008 Challenge drag passes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDY7G-_UhP0&feature=channel_video_title Start Fail (new starter, freshly charged battery, holding 10v while starting) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMiI4QoxWj0&feature=channel_video_title Pulled it out of the garage today and took a ton of pix.
