I thought that thing was pretty stripped but I thought that went low 10's on the 68hta.

Yea I probably don't have a chance in the stock appearing class, I just think it'll be fun if I can go race and try and make other people work for the win.


Just sell that nice evo and get a crappy auto dsm

I talked with him via PMs and the car has nothing in it at all, its a true track car. I think the only diff. between him and english is that he hasn't taken a drill or sawzall to the car.

TS class? you are gonna run low 10s with a holset? I think this is why we need a middle class.

On subject, it sounds like you are going to continue with the mods since the car hasn't sold yet? Do u drive it during the winter?

Ohhh, I didn't know he was that stripped Oh well, maybe I'll take a few things out it and put in the Kirkey I have laying around. Probably could get close to 100lbs out of it pretty easy as it still has EVERYTHING in it.

I priced it high so I didn't think it'd actually sell. I think I'll just keep it as I know if I actually sell it I'll be looking at dsm's again a few weeks after it sells. I'll try and do little things here and there but there isn't anything major I want to do to it until it either a) blows up or b) I hit my goal of 10.99. Whichever comes first

Kind of want to get it in the garage this weekend to tinker with it so I can get some more pictures in this crappy thread instead of all this text.



I plan on getting a shift box that shifts for me at designated shift points. I think I'll have to figure out a ricer excuse if I can't blame my slow times on shifting/clutch/trans issues. Any ideas? haha

I shouldn't have to; Last year, TS class was won by a fastest time of 11.187 @ 127.32.

That rule is grey and from the looks of it is dropped this year...I hope it is or I will go back to sleeper mode for this race! If you keep yammering on about it I'm sure someone will raise a flag sooner or later, so shhhhh!

LOL the insane weight makes up for it...

Going to get my ricer on this weekend...

Started off with a nice dirty hatch


Found a sweet spoon, box of fuses, a lighter and misc bolts under the spare tire well


Also found a crap ton of dynomat and this is where I gave up for the night. Hopefully a lot more progress is made tomorrow on it.



The car must have had a trailer hitch on it at some point as I found a trailer hitch harness back there too.

Plan is to let a little piece of the old black 2g live on with this new beater
