The thermostat was replaced about 2 weeks ago and since then my car is not losing the coolant anymore but the temp gauge will move all the way to hot and if I continue to drive within a couple of miles the needle goes back to normal, also my dash lights and headlights start to go dim but then will brighten up again.

I want to build a car that will do 200mph and still be able to drive it on a regular basis. Not a daily driver, but an every now and then sports car.
There are two ways I see going through this process start from scratch or just add parts to an already assembled car. I already know weight, hp and aero dynamics plays the largest roll. I also know that I want a 6 speed AWD transmission.

What kind of car should I start with?
OR
What kind of frame should I use?

What kind of engine should I use?
Turbo or Supercharged, which is better?
What type of AWD, 6-speed transmission would work best?
Anything else helpful?

Any real input would be helpful, especially if you actually know what you’re talking about and not just full of B.S.

I had the car checked and the whole engine flushed and cleaned and it has been sent in 6 times now and no one could find the problem. My car just completely loses power after as whiles driving, could it be the turbo or what should i do next?

I can actually feel that the turbo doesnt kick in.... should i replace it or what should i do? Please help...

About 3 months ago the catalytic converter of my car (Huyndai Lantra) was faulty and replaced by a muffler shop. Unfortunately, it is faulty again now. I took it back to the same muffler shop and they told me that it could have been caused by a too lean or too rich mixture. Does it make sense what they say? because my mechanics can't find anything wrong with the mixture setting and/or bad timing. Please help with your comments. Thanks!

Now everytime I turn, my tire makes a popping sound, the place I had the hub fixed said it is just the suspension because it got stretched out and after a day of driving it will get better, someone else told me that it was my cv joint though, does anyone know what a popping sound in the tire is, could it be the suspension or cv joint?
