Do you have a roll bar or anything in your car? If so we can mount my go pro next time I am out at the track. I prob wont be out til after the 1st (waiting til after I turn the boost up lol). I should also have the suction cup mount by then too. How was the track last night, I was on my way out and then my TPS started acting up so turned around and put it back in the shop.

Hmm maybe it is accurate which is a good thing as there is usually 4-5 of us splitting the cost

I am planning several weekend racing trips as well as a trip for me and my wife. I have used Mapquest's fuel calculator and it seems about as accurate as their directions, not very! It claims that a trip to Alabama in a truck getting 20mpg wll cost us $114 1 way, that seems awfully low to me. Anyone ever use a fuel cost calculator, if so which one and was it actually accurate? AAA has one but it sucks, only allows you to search major cities

Just so everyone knows what they are getting in this deal here is a pic http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/suspension.jpg

I am legal now, also discovered that my rotor button screw was missing and allowing it to move freely. Gonna swap that and the coil out tonight and see if we can't get her to run 10s tomorrow

Haha its terrible quality and I dont want anyone to have a seizure

Umm that would be the smoke from inside the car coming out. That or he fact its a tad rich at the top of each gear where I shift. Car uses 0 oil I have in car video if you'd like to see jsut how full the cabin is with smoke lol

Yeah its gone fast each and every time I have taken it to the track except for at Nowalk lol

Just got this video from a friend who was at the track. We discovered tonight that the screw that holds the rotor button in place was actually sitting behind the button, thus allowing the rotor button to move about 1/4 inch freely. That would probablly explain the spark blowout issues we expierenced on the dyno. New coil and rotor buton coming tomorrow and hopefully our first 10 second pass to follow on Wednesday.

Whole story is I had been baited for over a year to race this car, kept saying no, lets take it to the track. Mustang owner said he couldnt goto the track because they would kick him out first pass, well thats all you need amirite? Anyways, I got asked how many hundreds or thousands I wanted to lose and just laughed at the thought of it. Fast forward to this year and I keep hearing that he's already got me in the bag and just keeps talking. We finally get face to face and he says its not him talking that its everyone else, ok fine. Well somehow a race is setup, money is brought up but he declines the offer so a "fun" race ensues. 3 races are done, 20, 40 and 50mph rolls. The 20roll the mustang pulls away and I am unable to catch up due to spinning to hell and back. Great he won, no biggie. The next 2 turn out differently and thats where the bitching comes into play. We get back to meeting location, first thing I do is get out, shake his hand and tell him that his car moves out. He then starts in on me. Told me that we turned the boost up (yes because I would rather turn the boost up to beat a Mustang, but not go faster at the track), dumbass! Then tells me I am on either race gas or e85, so I hand him my gas cap and offer to let him ride to gas station with me to fill it up. He tells me I have a fuel cell lol, so I pop the trunk and ask him to locate it for me. Some bullshit goes down after that which isn't worthy of typing about and we go about our ways, over the race....or so I thought. I upload the shitty quality video to my youtube so my cousin in West Virginia can watch and apparently mustang owner is subscribed to me and starts in on there. Now mind you when I first uploaded the video I posted no details on ether car other then the hp (which by the way he is now claiming the car makes less then he originally told us, plus i've seen his dyno sheet lol). Also claimed to run out of gear in 4th, mind you this is a 6 speed car and that his car is setup for the 1/4 mile, well I race mine weekly so I would say mine is setup for the track as well lol. Mustang with fully built/stroked/kenne bell on MT Radials vs Little ole 4dr Honda on $50 Kumhos, and he's the one bitching. Now he tells me we're going to the track where he'll kick my ass because I wont have a chance of catching up, he's right, I just wont need the chance as I will leave him at the light and have traction on slicks lol. Through all the shit talknig on my youtube I have still tried being cool with him and have gladly accepted the track challenge.

Apparently a lot haha. I personally shake the guys hand and talk to him about his car and then go home thinking of ways to go faster. Hell I do his weekly at the race track

Just curious about this as I have a mustang owner that is really mad about losing to me lol. I mean real mad hahahaha (Can provide whole story if needed) but would rather just see what everyones take is on losing a race. Me personally it just irritates me that my car or diving ability was lacking and motivats me to try getting the car to go faster.

I have some coilovers for sale. The perches are from a set of Skunk2 Pro C's. The rear springs are brand new Skunk2 400in/lb, the front are used Eibach 350in/lb. I upgraded my suspension with stiffer rates and don't have a use for these. $175obo takes them. I have pics that I can text to you. 740 814 3936 is easiest way to get ahold of me. These do not come with struts!!! These were off my 94 Integra but should fit 88-00 Cars, check before buying

Put this in wrong section, ooops!

Haha you 1/8th mile what I just 330'd last week, thats amazing

Yeah man, I love racing and honestlyI like trails as much as I bitch about it. Its close to home, I grew up out there with my dad so I kinda have a soft spot for it. I just wish they would set rules, make everyone abide by them and call it a day. I wasn't upset about being kicked out, I was upset with the fact that the week previously I went higher MPH and not word was said. I have thought about stepping up a class as the import class on Wednesdays is a joke, there was 4 of us Wednesday and of the cars run 18 seconds or slower, its no fun going into a race knowing you've already lost because you can't beat the automatic car with 70hp lol. I am waiting on a reply from trails in regards to license and what they are gonna bitch about me not having next haha.

Thanks for the heads up about the license, just printed the paper work off. Gonna get that out of the way before I go to Mayland International next month

I had no clue the car would go 11.2's it went 11.6 at Norwalk over the weekend which is supposdly "much nicer track" and has gone as slow as 11.8 at Trails. I have a 10 point cage that is certiied for 8.50s, I have a helmet that is snell approved, I now have the fire jacket, don' talk to me about builing a car that is legal. Talk to the dumbass tech guys that can't get their shit straight from one week to a next. Had I been warned last week, the car would've been legal this week. Go talk to the tech guys tha say nothing when 2 cars run 9s at Impot Faceoff without a cage, or my buddies turbo TA that goes 10.9@130+ with no cage. The same tech guys that argued my kill switch was illegal because it doesnt kill power to the car, umm yes it does, its also marked "ON" and "OFF", had to bring that up to the guy in the booth as well. Atleast my import has never oil'd down the damn track, we lost over an hr on Wednesday because cars couldn't keep their shit together, how about enforcing diapers for all cars racing out there, I am puting one on my car, would you? I am all for following rules, as long as its fair 1 week to the next and fair for all. The bullshit excuse of "we're not used to teching fast imports" is such a cop out. No your track officials suck dick and now you're being called out on it, thats the end of that debate. I will be out Wednesday with 5point harness in tact, awaiting the next thing they tell me I need to get haha. BTW what does your car run? I don't remember seeing it out there unless you was in your Cutlass which I have no clue what it looks like. I like meeting various members off this board out there just so I can put a face wth a username. 1 more edit because I am on a roll here, is it really only 135mph before you need a license? I always thought it was 150 which is same mph as when you need a chute. Not that I am bitching, I think it'd be awesome to get pulled over by a cop and ask if he wants my NHRA license or my Ohio license haha. Nevermind just searched yahoo and found the answer, guess I had better get a license because boost is going up to kill mode this month Also don't take anything I have typed here as a jab directly at you, I am more frustrated with the lack of consistant rules at the track then anything else

Yeah I really hate how rushed I feel when racing out there. I said hell with em Wednesday and took my time haha.

Thanks man, never thought it would really get to this point honestly. Scary thing is its honestly just beginning as we're preparing to up the boost and all sorts of other goodies

Yeah if Lebron played like this all the time he'd have multiple championships. Well see how game 7 goes

I know, damn thing won't run a 10 to save its life. It is biased against even numbers, it wouldn't run a 12 for anything when I wanted it to lol.

+1

Lebron has 39 points with 2mins left in the 3rd, could this be the game where he is the man for all 4 quarters?

11.2 was best pass. It was an interesting night to say the least. First pass of the night we go 11.2@127 they stop me at the end of the track, I ask them what as wrong and they tell me I went to fast and needed a fire jacket. Great...so my 2 buddies (big thank you to them) run to and back from Jegs in Reynoldsburg in 30mins with a jacket in hand. Luckily the track was oil'd down so I didnt miss out on any runs. 2nd pass I go 11.31@128mph and again get stopped, I tell em I got the jacket he says thats fine but is my stock belt the only seat belt in the car. I tell him yes. He tells me to slow down that they are saying I need a 5 point....fine 3rd pass, car launches the best it has ever launched and is most likely on its way to a 10.9, then my dumbass misses 3rd. Ooop! Went 11.7@127 4th pass I went 11.40@127 and get stopped again, tech guy is awesome at the end of the track. Talked to me about my car and all that shit, told me he was just gonna warn me and that I could go again 5th pass, I figure its getting late and not sure how many more I am going to get so I let it rip. Went 11.31 again and that was it haha. Stopped me and said the guys in the booth were telling him to inform me that I was done. So me, my buddy Mike and Alex L from here go up to the booth to see what the fuck the deal is. I went 11.3@129mph last week with no jacket and never said a word to me. Tonight they are being king asshole about the rules. So the guy in the booth tells us and I quote, "we are trying to train our tech's how to tech import cars". Umm you tech me the same as you would the Ford, Chevy or Dodge thats next to me am I right? He then tells me "we're just not used to fast imports, we're used to the 15 second crowd" haahaha well you have 15 second Mustangs and Camaros out here so you must not be used to the 11 second ones then right? So after a 30 min talk in the booth he tells me that its just best I call it a done night. So 5 point harnsses are being ordered tomorrow
