Fuck fixing it, bet the dryer is full of moisture now. well that a easy fix, when under a vacuum, start the engine and close the hood. you can boil it all out in about a 30 minute suck down..i always do this when a system has been open more then a few hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillbot Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Ohio Boys have a couple "streetable" race cars in the 7's so it's possible. Personally, I prefer the ease and less headaches of a fast street car over a streetable racecar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 fuck you all...except rob, his shit doesnt run either...i miss my car im going for streetable racecar with mine... leaving my power windows and my heat, dash, carpet, seats...rear seat delete...so its going to look semi decent inside...cup holders are gonna have a shifter coming through them though lol eventually down the road i want to have the car tubbed and i want to switch to a full fiberglass one-piece front end, 557 stroker, with a very large shot of spray or a big single...idc if it gets 5mpg, it wont get driven very often...trailered to the track, raced, trailered home...only street duty will be driving to meets, no street racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagner Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 There is nothing better than a really fast street car. Keep it simple and have fun with it before you go over the top to much on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillbot Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 +1 +2 Part of the reason I stopped on mine was because it was getting too much "drag" and not enough "street". Hell, I'm at the poin tnow where I might make it more streetable even if I lose a second at the track or so. I'd rather drive it than drag it so why ruin the car.

NOPR Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I'm (respectfully) going to go with an opposing viewpoint here, so brace yourselves: Streetcars fucking suck Go balls out, build a race car, and race it. Take it to the track, enjoy it, and then take it home and park it. The whole fast street car thing is a giant, never ending compromise. Most of the time you're listening to your motor because you can't hear anything else, breathing your smelly exhaust, and stuck behind some fat old guy's SUV in traffic with no A/C. Then, if you ever get an open stretch of road, or by some miracle actually line up with another car worth racing (even when you're only in the 12's they are few and far between out on the street), you have decide its worth the risk to go for it. These days it's only getting riskier. Let's go further out on a limb and say you pull of a clean W.O.T. run or a good race without getting busted or wrecking. In my experience you get about 5 seconds of quality W.O.T. entertainment for every ten hours you drive around getting 6-12 mpg. The unfortunate reality is driving a fast car on the street sucks 99.99% of the time. You're much better off getting a nice comfortable DD, preferably one that can pull a trailer with your race car on it, and have the best of both worlds. A comfortable, practical DD and a race car. Keep the race car registered if you wanna pull it out for meets or cruise ins every now and then, but otherwise leave it at home. No worries about getting hit by some dumbass (they're plentiful!) and ruining years worth of hard work or a ton of money. I tried having a race car on the street, I thought it would be awesome, it sucked. I thought I would get all sorts of sweet races, I didn't. The only attention I got was from the police and other 16-25 year old dudes. I've been pulled over, I've been arrested, it really sucked, and I got off easy. I'm not even going to go into the whole what if you wreck thing. This board knows about that well enough already. If you've got the money, make it a race car and get a nice DD as well. Anything else is just going to be frustrating. just my $.02! /flamesuit on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Screw giving a shit about how fast it is, I went out driving it tonight, loved the sound, loved how well it drove. Hated not having my A/C working, damn door speakers are blown. Car looks great the way it is, it makes me happy. I've decided that I'm done racing it except for rare occasions at the TRACK!! So while I love going fast, I can't afford it, every extra dime I've had for the past few years has gone into this car. Time to focus on something else, who wants to buy nitrous?

Got tied up too much into making it faster than I never drive the car. Now i'm about to do a 180 and make it slower so I can drive it more.
