LOL....... so what is the difference in breaking engines and not the driveline VS. breaking everything but the engine??? good logic there:icon_scratch:you wanted to compare those to and what you thought they payed and what they got. My logic in this, is that i am making good, reliable power.
Now whether or not that same power gets to the ground in a favorable fashion is another story. bottom line being, im not worried about my engine.

when you are trapping 140 like tufte we will see if your engine is still "running flawlessly" ...perhaps you will be on your 6th T-case by then??because i would absolutly NEED to trap 140 to make a 10 sec pass...NOT
proof
and this engine is STILL run 100% with trans/tcase/diff still in tackt.

Its still funny because for all the money you have in your car you could have bought an actual car like a c5... sprayed a 150 shot and been faster in ET and trap... and have been cheaper... and not break shit every passA) I would rather drive a miata than a C5. i dont feel like filling my gas tank every other day on the way to work. (with a VA commute, it would happen)
side note- nothing agaist the c5. but i like the c6 a lot more.B) I bought my car, because i wanted awd.
C) I really havent spent that much money on my car. I was spending more while i was going to VIP.

Do I really come off as ignorant as you do?
You were just so darn proud of that "coasting 120mph trap".... so I had to remind you that you are still shy a full 20mph of the "econo box"

Just thought I'd throw this out there:
in 6 years of drag racing the integra I broke the following things:
1 set of ringlands on OEM pistons (nitrous on stock motor)
1 RING GEAR
1 set of JE Pistons (my fault, fucked up the tune.)
0 OEM AXLESFuck those hondas are garbage.

English please??you wanted to compare the the power of 2 hondas, along with the money they payed for it. then failed to acknowlege the amount of time they had spent getting rebuilt.

No you dont, im just an ass.
and then i told you i wouldnt need that extra 20 mph to run a similiar time. then after i told you, i showed you with a friends car.

let me explain the way traffic is like in norther virginia, imagine a 5 lane intersate (i say 5, but its 3, with 2 lanes of HOV)
and all 5 are at a dead stop. thats my commute. 30 miles of it to work and back every day. i would like to see a lsx mpg in that kind of traffic.

because zbrown didnt throw that in there with the 2 bullet proof hatches he praised over.
in the 5 years i spent going to IDR...i saw said integra there maybe 4 times...true racer bro. you should have raced with the clutchmasters integra.
btw, how often did you DD your car? just out of pure curiosity.

How often did I DD my car? I daily drove my car until 2005, at which point I bought another car to DD. If you went to idrags for 5 years every weekend and only saw my car 4 times you must have been blind. Let alone, what does the clutchmasters integra have anything to do with this anyways? Because you're "out east" you must be tight with them I bet right? You and jonathan reynolds and norris probably kick it every weekend.

18,000. i know i payed too much but i wanted one that hadnt been molested yet, and i got it.no_slow_clap;224942 wrote:
the 3rd and 5th gear snycros are screwed as well. so the tranny needs to be rebuilt.SO...in the end i was quoted 2500 for the tranny rebuild and clutch install (parts and labor) and if i wanted to i could get an lsd for the transfer case, with no additional labor cost.
That is 20,500 by itself, now lets add some more shall we
+A built engine $$$???
super secret CNC'd 33% better than stock heads $$$??
full turbo setup and IC $$$??
wheels and misc $$$??
your ditch fuckup $$$??
yet another trans rebuild $$$??
= >>$25k
Perhaps you are high??
-
you must have skipped the part where i stated "without the price of the car"
trans and clutch together were 2500
the turbo kit was 2700
engine was about 3500 (including my super secret head)
suspension, wheels, misc was around 2500so right there im a little over 10k. my ditch incodent was payed for by insurance, not money from MY pocket. so im going to discard that.
i was given the spare diff and some $$ as a trade for wheels.
i dont know what another trans and clutch are going to run me, because i dont know if i am going to continue drag racing.
