I will be ready for my beer at CR track day. I will get you a 11.5 time slip if you need me to.

 

We'll see......

 

Next Dyno is within a Week.... we'll see what Brian can squeeze outta this hairdryer with just a 3.6" Pulley.

 

:D

I love the amount of money people have in their cars and the times they run. I had just alil bit over 15k in the vette and was runnin low 10's with 140 traps. Not saying that is crazy but people with over 20k in their cars and are not runnin low 10's or faster makes me LOL.

Makes me laugh when a $50000 car that should runs 11.80's stock can only run 10.40's with $15000 in mods.

I know, I would be pissed if my 50k car didnt run 11.80 stock as well. It was good thing I only paid half that for mine. But then again it makes me laugh buying a 20k "sports car" with a v8 that will barely get out of the 14's with mods..

But I like the VW its difrent and pyou dont see to many around that are as fast as mine.

2002 Z28= still making payments

Thunder Racing cam kit plus tools for swap= 1200

SLP loudmouth exhaust= 400

gutted cats= free

getting buddy to buy EFIlive= free

getting dad's buddy to rebuild tranny= 500

TCI converter= 500

Innovate LC-1= 200

 

$2800 give or take I'm sure there's more, countless tires up in smoke

first pass 4 yrs ago 14.10 1/4mile at 98 mph pretty lame

last pass prior to trans and converter, with ailing trans 12.94 at 110, still never seen a dyno, really needs suspension, and a quieter exhaust

humm..96 Gst..$5oo for the car, a few cans of spray paint, wheel berring and lower control arm...total less then $1000

the talon..Less tehn $4000 altogether

god love DSMs!!!

 

They mean total, not what you have to spend every other month on the dsm. ;)

 

Let me think...

3k for the car, in excellent condition, fully stock

2k for motor build

$350 turbo back exhaust

$200 radiator

$150 built tranny (still need new torque converter and stall)

$5 manual boost controller (currently off car)

$300 4wheel brake upgrade - slotted rotors and pads

And of course, misc little shit that adds up.

 

Still need to upgrade the stock 440injectors and my fuel pump. Possibly buy an sAFC. Then the boost goes up... way up compared to the 7psi I currently run. Hard to beat bang for buck on these cars and still have the great cross country rides this car provides. I get out of my car with less back pain than I had when I got into it.
