Hey Now!!!

Hahahaha. Look at your sig :D

I had a 1/4 tank of e85. I'm about 190lbs., so maybe 3200w/driver?

Seems like my car has no low end and mid range power, it really doesn't launch hard. I think the 2G timing map on the car is too conservative.

Reguardless, I am really happy with what it ran, a lot quicker than I thought.
Wow thats over 500whp with that trap speed and weight. . .
Horsepower from ET (http://www.race-cars.net/calculators/et_calculator.html).

But he's only putting down a hair more than 400.. Hmm

Low reading dyno...

[4g63tcrazy]

True...

[wheelhop]

Dynos are for tuning, not for dick flopping ;)

ET with an accurate weight equalizes and applies across the board as a fair comparison.

[Shane55113]

why are you selling your car?

[wheelhop]

i've done pretty much everything i've ever wanted with a dsm with this car (make over 400awhp on dd, run a decent 1/4 mile, and beat a very intimidating v8 car in a race where i was completely underestimated), and i've owned 1g awd's my entire life. I'm kinda ready for something new. I really like projects, and i actually complete them!

But we will see, because i have really put a ton of time and effort into this car, it really isn't worth selling!

Got my front wheel bearings, sealls, ball joints, and outer tie rod ends. I should be doing all this front end work on Sunday. I may do a HOW TO write up! haha. I will also be doing rear calipers/rotors/pads before BIR.

Finally did: New front wheel bearings, in/outter seals, New ball joints, outer tie rod ends, New loaded rear calipers, rear rotors, LF axel seal. Haha, my car is getting better all the time.
