Made 3 passes at the track last night with the broken-non shifter tranny. Those who have heard the car just rolling down the road can attest to how LOUD it is. 1st pass ever-pump gas, low boost-Shifting at 8k 2.20-60ft 9.28@71mph- 1/8 mile 14.0@109 -1/4 mile ET Wow, this thing refuses to shift into anything at 8k. I have to wait until IDLE to go into 3rd! So-I figure I will just short shift 1-3 and hope for good things in 4th. 2nd pass-pump gas, low boost- Shifting 1-3@5k, and winding out 4th. I literally had no more than 5psi until after the 1/8th 2.0 60ft 8.46@96mph 1/8th mile 12.5@123 1/4 mile Better than I expected considering the circumstances, and ron now owes me $20 Last pass, go with race gas and 30psi for shits and giggles. I meant to do my 5k 1-3 mod, but lined up against GSX and got excited-so I tried to shift at 8k again. 2.1 60ft 9.24@76mph in the 1/8th 13.7@115mph 1/4 It grinded so much on the 1-2 and 3-4 shot on this pass, I was sure I left the tranny on the track. But-It made it home. Its insane how bad the tranny is/sounds for it to actually be doing anything at all. I am tempted to put real tranny fluid in it (have whatever 20-50 in it now, all the RX guys havening success with them run MT90 or 80-90) and seeing if it improves, but I should probably just put a new box in there. I see the potential-because everything works well when its actually in gear:D I literally spend 4-5 second of the run trying ot get it into a gear. Thats all for now-

Think of Pilaties like a Mazda Miata. Can guys drive it? Yes? But-, is the car girly as fuck? YES. Pilaties is not considered a "manly" way to get fit-but is it better than what 80% of Americans are doing? Yes.

Trent is his name, and handle on here.

Why cant I download any of this shit?!

She looks young to be Mel, its been a while though. I would say no.

s car-one of the cars we brought down last time we came to Cbus. Pretty sure we got a race with Tilley, and Sam that night. Just giving him props for the magcoverage. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/jrod@buschur/dsport11.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/jrod@buschur/dsporttogether.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/jrod@buschur/dsport41.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/jrod@buschur/dsport61.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/jrod@buschur/dsport71.jpg

No-she was a chic from "down the way", and I wouldn't think she has a myspace or anything like that-and Im not on, so I cant look. We broke up on bad "terms ". I dont seem to have a good track record for that. Her name is Melissa Rodriguez if you want to look.

Thats just a good stretch..

My ex of a few years back looks 100% like her, I was actually scrambling ot find here name to make sure it wasnt her. She did that had THAT ridiculous of a rack though, my lord. For the record, those things are either real-or someone did some REAL good work on her!

Tell them to call him out, and offer to put up some lock in money. When you do that-it immediately turns into a step up, or stay the fuck back kind of situation. I will register now...

Im not on ODRA-so I cant comment on that. I can only tell you in the real world-not on the internet-I too initially claimed their car were not "street cars". After seeing them put at least 15 mile dont he car going from place to place, I can say with certainty that their cars fits at least MY definition of street car. So-does anyone on here want to race them? WannaDigRace, if you want to call them out, and make sure you get something out of it-ask for lock in money-say $500. If they don't give it-they are pussy. If you set up a race and they don't show-you still get paid. Its a win-win for you. Sound good?

Just to let you know-your starting to fight what will be a loosing battle. In the end-weather you street cars should be able to take trips to Florida or whatnot, the real issue is the race on the table. You think your faster? Come up and play. If you don't have what it takes-get out of the damn kitchen. Ya Digggg? DK

Frank 2, its an old POS of a botl on hybrid. And no, I don't have any motors laying around.

Here is the article from GMR I got all those PM's about. It details the build, my 10.9 pass in it, and even gives props to my old Colt. Very cool stuff. Matt is finishing up an AWD for nest year's GMR challenge. http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s139/painted18/coltarticle.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s139/painted18/coltarticle2.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s139/painted18/coltartlce3.jpg http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s139/painted18/coltrticle4.jpg

How so? I would have agreed until I witnessed them drive to the meeting location, to the race location (6 miles) Race, and back top the meting location. The car is not louder than your average Mustang with flownastys, longtubes, and a cam.

Yeah-thats the car! Small world. I will call you tomorrow. JP

This makes my life easy.

Thats what he said-and thats what his receipts say, but Im just not used to prices like that!

At end of video http://www.break.com/index/big_time_rally_skills.html

Yes.

Done.

Thanks for the comments- Fuck-with all the hate I am getting up here-CR feels welcoming. Hell may indeed be freezing over.

Posting this for a friend Price is $2500 obo. He has receipts for over 5k in work.

Of course. Shit-its not an option! There are a few minor issues that need to be fixed before I run someone that fast though. (Alternator belt flings off on some pulls, tranny does not shift/has no reverse) Linn-I Rev it to 8k on the street, but with the stock head/cams its not going to get any better I was going to wait until winter for that. It will give me something to do. I *may* toss the cams in there before the shootout, but its unlikely since this head is such a piece of shit, (cams were SUPER tight in the head) I would not want to chance hurting the cams. Thanks for the comments guys.

It might be. I bought it from a guy in his 40's who couldn't figure it out for CHEAP. Guy delivered it from Toledo. You remember his name?
