Future plans:

This is a GT car and will remain a GT car. Plans are to keep it on TD04's. Running E-85 and keeping the budget low, the goal is to get into the 11's, while maintaining creature comforts, all while using E-85.

Maybe he was afraid somebody else was going to create a thread with the exact same name?

I had this 1/2 way completed last night, then went to bed and shut off my computer :(. First post updated

Does it still have the stripe on the side. I think i saw you yesterday on 169.

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

Wasn't me as the car has been in my garage now, having crap ripped out of it, for about 30 hours now. Last time I drove it was Tuesday night.

Must be a clone.

Very nice! KISS.

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

Looks pretty clean. I like the plans to keep the creature comforts and streetability. Good luck

Awww.... Scheides and Swanny Sittin in a tree... K.I.S.S.I.N.G. First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage.

Good to see you planning on keeping this a street car.
11s will be easy, i can't wait to see it on 13Ts. Good luck.

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

Very similar goals as me, oh how we grow up... Sounds like a perfect plan for that car!

I don't know about easy but I think do-able eventually. Unless money falls out of the money tree the car will be on evo injectors, s-afcII, FPR, fuel pump, E-85 for this spring to see how deep in the 12's I can get.

True true. The purpose built race car to drive on the street days are over!

K.I.S.S is a good motto when you want to enjoy the car instead of re-invent the wheel.

:smithreplicating: It should only need about 460awhp to get there.

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

looks way better without the stickers. lol. looks cleeeean. I've always wanted a 3/S...they just seem hard to put in turbo's :D ;)

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

looks so much better with out the stickers

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

Only being the key word. 460 is a lot to make, then you need to get it to the ground. I just thought it was funny saying that 11's are easy. :rollinglaugh:

Re: Lucky #13...Back in the saddle....92 rt/tt
 

You have a good point. The 460 is on a dynojet and full weight. A good powerband may drop that down a bit. I know Ryan's went 11.4@120 with 420hp/460tq, granted that had custom gears and was lighter. If it was full weight and didn't have the gearing, I would have anticipated that car to go ~11.9.

Only time will tell. After this weekend, assuming good engine health, car should be low 13's.

I agree that 11's aren't easy, in anything.

Small update:

Did a boost leak test....... ....20psi in, 2psi at the gauge (hooked up my diagnostic 52mm autometer to the plenum). :score001:

Started poking around, rear o-ring and 1/2 the vacuum lines leaking like a zepplin with a bullet hole in it. Excellent opportunity to do the vacuum reduction mod/clutch booster delete mod. :sasmokin:

I decided I should change the drivetrain fluids to see if I can catch the "zip" into 2nd gear before it gets worse. Staring at the transfercase, it has the bolt in the cover (YES! :spin: )

Decide I should drop the t-case to look at the transmission to see if it has a 25 spline, being a Dec 1991 build date, there is a chance.
It is a 25 spline! (YES! :smile: )
The shaft is rusted to where the splines are like a butter knife (NO!! :violin: )

Good thing Ryan has a few parts left from his part-out. I will be introducing a new output shaft, t-case with quadco spool, and E2K brace this weekend, with new fluid, MBC, throwing a boost gauge in the glove box for now, vacuum reduction, and then leaving it alone until winter

Car has pre-cats still, leaving those in as those are my effective "mufflers" for now. I will toss on exhaust this winter and then gut those.

Before spring 2012 goals:
-Gauges in center dash
-Wideband
-Replace dash vents
-Re-cover seats (driver side has tear)
-upgrade fuel pump
-fuel pressure regulator
-fuel controller + logger
-injectors
-Exhaust
-E-85
-Good non knock-off tires
