Re: Beater 2g Round 2
Picked up some FIC 1150's pretty cheap and got some -6 adaptors to get rid of the stock fuel filter banjo bolt someday.
Kind of want to throw them in and go see what she can do on corn but I think I should get a shift box first so I can have full line pressure.
Also started shaving the extra valve cover, still have a bit of sanding to do to make it perfect. Decided on going with a white wrinkle I think, that way it can hide any little imperfections if I give up on making it perfect.

Re: Beater 2g Round 2
Was looking around to see how realistic my dream is of getting into the 10's with this basic setup and found this guy...
60' ET: 1.494
1/8 ET: 6.713
1/8 MPH: 102.27
1/4 ET: 10.6138
1/4 MPH: 127.92
Fuel (type(s), percent used): Pump e85 100%
Basic Engine Set-up (displacement, pistons, rods): Bone stock long block with L19 head studs.
Turbo (brand, model): FP68hta
Vehicle (year, make, model): 92 Eagle Talon Tsi
Trans(auto, manual), (AWD, FWD, RWD), (built by): Auto, AWD, Built and tuned 100% myself
Clutch/Converter type: (clutch model/converter stall and build) Stock torque converter
Tires (brand, type, size): MT ET Drag 24.5x8x15
Nitrous(Y or N, Shot size): N
Have a few small things I want to do before next summer but might not do all of them until after the proving grounds. I don't want boot from the stock appearing class as that seems like it'll be where some good competition is at
If this thing can run a 10.99@99 I'd be happy so long as its a 10. haha Might have some more realistic weight reduction this time around.

Re: Beater 2g Round 2
at 99mph!!
That car is pretty stripped down, but I know you know how to setup a car and with A billet 16G its totally doable.
Sadly munchgsx is going to a EF3 so he will be able to outpower us all, I think it will be him then the rest of us fighting for 2nd place.
I'm waiting to see the rules though, if its like shootout rules we might have a chance.

This car belonged to a guy nammed Larry on the link forums. You know more about the car? I didn't go poking around too much just saw that one post in the fastest times thread and got pumped it could be possible. Are yout hinking of the English Racing 1g? 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.

I don't think you are technically in stock appearing any more are you? I thought tubular manis are out? If you are in then I would be too but I wasn't planning to make it into that, I just want to get times don't care about winning.

Just ban autos from stock appearing. Make them actually drive the car.

I am starting to sense it might be easier to slap on a Holset and run in the TS class...

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?

Re: Beater 2g Round 2
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

Re: Beater 2g Round 2
That forced four guys will have his fully programmable shift boxes out next month, so you could probably pick that up with the display box too.
I think a 10.99 is doable but it will take slicks and maybe suspension if not a good amount of weight pulled out of it.
All you are waiting for now in the switch to E85 and slicks right? Does your car have suspension mods?

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

Yea I've emailed him asking when he think it'll be done. Sounds like a way better unit than the Roadsurge one.
I was just waiting for the shift box before going to get tuned on e85. I have everything else I SHOULD need to go e85.
No suspension mods as of yet. The coil overs I had for the black car didn't seem to make much of a difference that I noticed, but I'm sure it'll help with getting consistent launches with the auto. Also waiting for the rules from MAP before buying any tire/wheel combo.

Sounds like you plan on running a lot quicker than last year as well!

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!
