  1. That thing should sound sweet revving out to 10k rpms!!
  2. Badass video! I'd like to try that sometime.
  3. Lol. The motor weighs over 2200lbs, just shy of my cars weight! The bov sounds amazing on the truck.
  4. I was working turn 3 during your heat, you moved through that tough area well, your son was much slower through there. That was a section better where better than half the people were screwing it up, I did on 2 of my laps, it was a tough area in turn 3. I was happy with my car and my driving, though with 2 national level cars in my class posting near ftd times I was only able to manage 4th place, but I knew I couldnt win with those guys showing up. I at least got to compare my times to a national level driver and see how far behind I am(and it's a lot).
  5. Caterpillar C13 to be exact. I haul everything, it's a heavy digout truck.
  6. This is my new motor that is installed in another vehicle for testing pusposes. Just need some more tuning and it will be ready to be fitted in the Laser. Currently the engine is making 440hp and 1470lbs of torque at 31psi!! http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a20/ZeroBar78/setup.jpg
  7. I along with a lot of other people were becoming quite tired of the commentary during the 4th heat, it was funny for about 5 mins, thats it. Whoever it was doing needed to cut about 75% of the chatter out and just call out times and the occasional joke would be fine. Matt, the last turn was only feet in front of the finishing line and timer box, there were a couple close calls. It happens several times a year, so dont let it discourage you. The course was a fast one that you would of liked, we just gotta get you out of the drag mentality and you'll do fine, you have a very powerful car and you really have to feather the throttle in a car like that in the turns, it's not easy.
  8. Agreed^^^. I'll be posting pics of my actual setup this week.
  9. What would you know Joe? You havn't been coming to the events hardly this year. You need to gut your interior, put some slicks on and come run with me in E Prepared!!
  10. I saw the car Rich, that thing is clean as hell! Don't see too many older rx7's like that anymore.
  11. Damn good time today!! Fast ass course that was big but very technical with some tough turns. I could only manage a 4th place with 2 national level cars in my class out there today, but I had a good time and the car was great. Good driving Jacob! You were patient and smooth which is good for a 1st timer.
  12. I had a good time out there, I was hanging around Bob Evans as well. Lots and lots of burnouts last night!!
  13. Welcome anyway! I will be out there racing tomorrow, you can't miss my blue Laser. Don't worry about not having the best car for autocross, it's 90% driver out there. Look at me, I drive a non-turbo dsm built for handling, which is not exactly what dsm's are known for. It's fun no matter what car you drive. Come up and say hi, my passenger seat is always open(when it's installed anyway).
  14. Yes you can, but they only allow 30 on-site registrations usually and not after 8:30am. I suggest you be there by 7:30am to be sure you make it in.
  15. Damn!! Makes it into a total blackout the sand is so thick!!
  16. Man, he didn't waste any time with getting himslef banned. What's the shortest time/posts its taken people to get themselves banned??
  17. I'm in for tonight. What time?? The cars cruise around 161 and Busch Boulevard around the Continent. They die out pretty early, usually not many left by 10pm.
  18. Holy shit there's a giant fuel leak on top of the motor, oh wait, its a carb.
  19. I was thinking of taking the turbos off my truck and bolting them onto the Laser, then I'd be able to drag all of CR around 270. Of course going in a circle like that would be too much like Nascrap and I would get bored so I don't think I'll do that, besides, I don't know how i'd fit those bigass things under the hood, each one is as big as my engine.
  20. LMAO!!! You should all be very afraid!!!
  21. Agreed. I went up around the Marcus IMAX last year, guys were trying to bribe cops into letting them doing burnouts with donuts but the cops came prepared, they already had plenty of donuts with them.
  22. No prob. Abelv...Wny not race?? It's fun to watch but not as much as fun to race!
  23. Autocross is this sunday(the 9th) at the OSU lot at the corner of Ackerman rd and 315.
  24. It's claimed to free up about 8-10hp, makes the engine little easier to rev. Your going to feel a little more vibration from the motor is, nothing that won't hurt it. I've heard of guys having too much oil pressure at high rpms after removing the balance shafts, might want look into having a couple of the oil passages enlarged slightly to keep that from happening. Check with someone like Buschur Racing, they've done balance shaft removals a million times.
