Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

My bad, i'm used to you giving me shit.

Are you talking about from a roll?

I'm worried about dig/track racing now, esp. since the nitrous kit I was supposed to get sold. I really want a good trap speed but I'm seeing small bolt on turbos like 3076/3065 trap 137 with more room to go.

Luckily this is a fraction of the cost.

I'm talking digs. The 6266 setup needs to be limited for boost off the line. I'm sure the 6152 will be the same if you get a good converter.

I'd rather have a converter that only dropped 1500ish rpms to keep the motor in the powerband than having a tight ass one up top.

I'll say though, rolls surprisingly aren't bad without spray. But the converter is key.

[turbotalon1g]

oh ok. Yeah I'm looking into my converter options. I'm sure this year will be a wash for dig racing.

I'm sure you'll find a used 1g precision for dirt. You always seam to find the deals. Or just throw the credit card down on a bradco and Kiggly MIVEC conversion.

I cant wait to see this thing in action. My 61 was a blast with the auto. I think I went 102 in the 1/8th.

Got my fittings in today (of course I didn't get a pic), put those in cleaned up the holes to be welded and my welder was out of gas. :(

Spent a lot of time trying to get my tie rod ends warrantied without a receipt that sucked. KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS PEOPLE!!!
That is where this thread came to the rescue, I was able to find the date of purchase and go from there.

Here are some pics from last weeks steering rack disassembly.

Curious to see how you like the steering rack.

Finally got all the pieces I need and a friend (Mo/Speedfreak) to weld up the holes in the steering tube, so I was able to start putting this back together.

I also put the motor on the stand so that I can start going through it soon.

The car will need a bunch of random crap to get running, and I'll be gone the first two weeks of August so I don't know if I will make PG 2. I'm really hoping to make an end of year track day with the other racers we have on style.

Eagles, nice!

[Goat Blower]

Is it a 2.0 or 2.3?

[turbotalon1g]

it's a 2.0 that I picked up from here.
