Blah blah. It is a POS off ebay, probably blow up after a half hour. GSR, you should worry about beating your 11.8 instead of my turbo! I never knew it took 550whp to get an 11.8!! Man, my talon must have had like 800whp. Hah, jk man, must suck to have a Honda with FWD though!!

Edit: Unless you are Tufte with $2500 into car that runs the same times as GSR!!!
OUCH!

I put a thread on a Minneaopolis forum, maybe we will get some cities boys up here. The weather looks like it is supposed to be nice! Even though it is still almost a week out, that is a good sign.

you should race...
Haha that would be a site!! I have so much to learn before I even attempt to race.. like for example... burnouts!! Eventually I will attempt to run my car but I would like to get some mods done to it and learn the system before a make a complete fool of myself!

[Flowcus]

If I could find some cheap sticky 215/45/r17 tires for my front rims... id think about running again to see if I can best my 15.5 without my T/C bogging me.

2 things holding me back... slipping clutch ( I think... it grinds when I shift it into gears in high rpms of around 6800-7200 ) and winter tires up front still cause one of my summer tires blew out and im poor right now. Oh and my car stinks because my cat is rotted out... stupid fords :mad:

Is your car a manual/automatic? Either way, burnouts may not be to your advantage, just drive around the puddle of water when directed, roll into the staging area when signalled to do so and roll slowly forward until you light both lights on the tree....then take off when the lights get to the last yellow one. Pretty easy, and no way to get good at it w/o practice

a grinding while shifting at high rpms sound more like a synchro then a clutch problem.

I plan on comming down to the track fo rthe first time this weekend. I actually have never run on a drag track before, I just run road-course. What are the NHRA tech stuff do you have to pass, is a street car just fine to run. Should I put in my 5 point harnesses? I just want to do a few runs for the heck of it, I got 2 limp cyliners on my camamro so I won't do very well, but I want to know my time before I pull the car apart and stroke the engine, so see how much power I got out of it afterwards. Any help would be cool, I want to show up ready.
