    Well, not on this pass :dumb: This is all we have from the rental

     

     

    It has the street tires on the front-so that would prob be when the boost controller was still not working. I'd guess13-12.xx @around 130mph. Most runs on the street tires were aborted or just boost check runs since my controller set up was fubar'd

     

    And interesting that its spinning the LEFT tire only-you can hear it spinning the dogs off in 1 and 2, but clearly see the right tire not moving!!!! I guess I never realized how bad it was-I would have assume both tires would at least be trying to do something....:eek:

     

     

    So Miguel BIG thanks for posting that! Learn something every day.

    Steve Wilson and Chris Wright at Pro Car in Akron did the tuning this year on my car. I do need to turn the wick up, however since I blew the damn thing up its gonna be a minute before that happens haha.

     

    4k to go 10s, who needs to spend 80k on a GTR?

     

    As I am an inch away from pulling the trigger on a dirty cheap GTR :no: Salvage title....so I am waiting on the "research."

     

    Different car though-really better in every way. BUT to me, it would be a nice DD, never a race car. The way I approach this hobby is just that- its just a hobby. I like going fast-and I am a cheap bastard. So my build usually follow suit.

    pretty damn clean for a thrown together spare parts car if you ask me. Any engine bay pics?

     

    Shell was painted 2 years ago, and sat in a garage for 1.5 years getting pushed around.

     

    Only one I have-guess I need to take some updateshttp://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/COLTv2008.jpg Stock turbo to make sure the running bits were good.

    But you can replicate it for 4k with ease, less depending on what kind of deals you get on the Shell/turbo/DSM link.....

     

    That's just insane!!!!!!! 10 sec sleeper for 4k!! impressive!!!! I have that in my rpm lvl6 transmission alone... it's a shame there isn't much fast imports in these area's... do you have pic's/vid's of the car?

     

    Vids-waiting to see what people took at the track-I dont think anyone got the 10.8 b/c it was a hot lap-no one expected me to run it again LOL

     

     

    Pics? Besides what is in this thread-not really.

    On borrowed slicks form the CR track day-I prob' would have seen 10.5 or better if I had these tires Sunday LOL

    :fuckyeah:

     

    Daddybuiltracing just getting shit on left n right.

     

    I dont think so-different build-his car is working well and was built right- he just needs to turn the wick up. It's a lot easier for me to make magic at the track since I am the one tuning the car. I think SloMo does his tuning-if something is amiss then its hard to troubleshoot shit you have little control of.

     

    Umm 17psi and pump gas 11.2 vs 30psi and 10.8....again, I don' feel that bad. BTW I have a stock trans as well minus the LSD. You're gonna have to try harder if you wanna troll me.

     

    Like I said, I hate this car yet secretly like it. Nice work JP. If you had to guesstimate how much do you have wrapped up in this thing?

     

    Thanks man. Yeah the car would really benefit form a diff and a real tire-I was on 22x8 6 year old slicks that were beyond sketchy. Wait till you see the pics...LOL I think I was 7.4@103 in the 8th. LOT of room for improvement there.

     

    HONEST investment? Everything besides the turbo set up I had laying around-and through trades/part outs realistically I don't have $ in, just time. Even the shell was a trade!

     

    But you can replicate it for 4k with ease, less depending on what kind of deals you get on the Shell/turbo/DSM link. And-you'd have to be able to build/tune the car yourself. I built the motor from good parts of old broken motors-all used. Zero machine work- hell I used the rings that were on the pistons! :lolguy:

     

     

    The main bits-

     

    Shell

    Rebuild-able motor

    used Pistons/Rods

    Head-stock

    Cheap 272 Cams

    DSM harness/ECU/DSMlink

    DSM stock FWD trans

    China intercooler

    Junkyard Audi Radiator

    DYI pipes/exhaust

    Old Venom Intake Manifold/stock TB

    Used 780 or 880's (I honestly don't remember what they are-Temp injectors)

    one used 255

     

    The bling Shearer Manifold can be sub'd for a China T3, but I got a killer deal on it-about what you would buy a China T3 and Used PTE6262 for.

     

    Throw in a set of rod bearings and a Gasket kit-and that's literally it. I can probably make the same power with mid 20's boost once I an on the dyno with speed density, and fuel for E85-but I am happy for the season.
