[twicks69]

I'll be there.

[BeesTwinEG]

Nice, any time ur guessin tim?

[twicks69]

anything that doesn't require a flatbed, is a good time.

I am guessing to run quick 8. Time, I don't know...low 10's are likely.

[TopSECRETHatch]

Damn thats crazy how many trannies and now axles youve gone thru. But i guess when your putting down so much power to all 4 tires. How much horsepower is your Eclipse?? I'll be there too in my hatch with the rest of the crew.

[BeesTwinEG]

Nice tim!! I wanna c tat thing launch lol:thumbsup anyway hopefully my car would be done and break in at the same time lol. I do want to run couple events but i dont know if i can. try our best to run it! anways good luck to everyone!!

13 race trannies, 7th set of front axles.

HP --> PLENTY to break stuff.

I look forward to seeing everyone there!

[Poncho]

Can I take my Import?

[twicks69]

Are you talking about the 35R'd SRT? If so, then Hell yeah! - if you are talking about the Goat, you can do that also; you just cannot compete in the class competitions -- you would only be able to do fun-runs.

The day is for sporty compacts (import or domestic), vintage compacts (VW, Toyota starlets and corollas, Mazda RX-2/3/4/7's, etc), and import sports cars in $$$ competition.

There are still plenty of corvettes, porsches, mustangs, etc that stop on by, but most of those car owners don't like being seen in the same area as rice.

Maybe if you put a holden badge on it, and changed the wheel over to the right, they would let you in as an import sports car. :rolf

Either way, stop on down!

[bearsek]

We will be there again, we will have 4 cars in the quick 8, 3 turbo and the drag car.

[BeesTwinEG]

I hardly doubt that my car is going to be break in and tune at the same time for Import wars #4 but we'll make somthin happen always :thumbsup. We'll see you guys there!:banana

I'll slap a Holden Fascia on it and I'll be good.

[twicks69]

Yep, they would probably let the Kangaroo race if it was still branded Holden.

Funny world :goof

[Jake B. (Killer Quad)]

The Grand Am will be there shooti ng for another win in C class.
missed the first 2 races an have some ground to make up. Need to defend last years championship.

[BeesTwinEG]

HAVE FUN EVERYONE!!!!!!


:thumbsup :banana1: :banana1: :banana1:

[twicks69]

So how did everyone do?

I qualified #1, but ended up losing in the 1st round eliminations to a guy in a dodge shadow turbo that really hit his dial in time by running 11.63 on a 11.60 dial.

Other than that; I was having traction issues all night and was only doing 10.4's to 10.6's. I did pull some 139mph traps though.

My 60' were 1.5 to 1.6 all night, but I was wheelspinning hard in 1st and into 2nd.

Oh well, better luck next time.

[Russ Jerome]

Who was the fastest, ElNino or a Starlet?

[ThatWhiteCivic]

Damn Tim 10.4's that's fast

Great work

[twicks69]

The fastest was Neither -- :goof

A 1969 Mazda R100 was doing 8.1's!! I never saw the car before, but it freaking moved! :thumbsup

Efrain was doing 8.7's, and Flavio was having issues going faster than 8.9's.

[Russ Jerome]

8.1 WOW! That would have to be the new fastest of the quick 8.

[TopSECRETHatch]

i want to see him run against the top of the list on bcm!!!

[Flicktitty]

i missed it. i was helping a buddy do some shit with his teggy and didn't get done till 9ish so we just went out driving.

[micro_machine]

Nice day for every one huh? i was there nice run Tim:thumbsup your 60ft was sweet.


BtW- i saw that RED thing run holly shietetete:wooo 8.1

[Bee]

hey what about that little white honda civic hb that did 11.4s on yet another stock block............. yes it was also full interior/seats/stereo/ etc etc.....:thumbsup



Yeah we brought out another addition of a true street honda full interior 11sec car. And yes it was on a stock block with 4 SRP pistons. Very basic build yet approaching 10sec :thumbsup

beginning of this setup's story was--- Saturday morning I came in at 9am looked over everything, popped in a new set of plugs, hooked up the standalone efi tuning unit, and strapped it on the dyno... barely made over 300whp on good tuning(awesome mid-range power of course)... Did 2 brake jobs, 2 muffler jobs, 4 oil changes, 1 altenator job in our general repair division and finally left to go racing......got at the track at 3:30pm and did a couple test runs for datalogging purposes. Near the end of the night we did 11.4@122mph with a RICH topend bogging on and off...... conditions totally changed compared to my 9am tune...hehe:rolf
but i managed to get it to do ok........ some more tweaks should bring this little civic into the 10's......:thumbsup

nah i'll leave this 11sec stock block alone for now... gotta work on another one this friday...going for a sure 10sec setup.....:thumbsup

my personal street turbo car has been terminated in favor of something else!!!

[Bee]

BTW Tim's car was one wicked animal..... much respect to the 4g powerplant and whatever tranny he was using!!! 10.4 pass was awesome...
good runing to all as well... overall a nice day of racing.. despite all the carnages!!!


And if any of you guys saw that blue corolla RWD with our badge on the back...yes we do sponsor that car. 1st time beeyond has ever seen the RWD world. Car is fully tuned with a 4g motor. At low boost it has already turned in decent dyno numbers. After the launch it gets flooded and then cleans up. This is the 1st time it came out... When this setup is dialed in, it will be a good contender in Frantic 7.....

[BeesTwinEG]

what a good day everyone!!!!!!!!!!

LIKE I SAID...

PARTY LIKE A ROCKSTAR!!!!!!!! :thumbsup :goof :) :wooo :banana1: :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :headbang :headbang :D :D :headbang :D :D


I was the one jumping around when bee ran 11.4 @ 122mph. :D

Hopefully my car will get done by next RSD or Import WARS!!!!!

[scaleracer]

they didn't set the track on kill because all the imports with street tires would make bald spots anyway and nice to meet you and your acr is awesome i'm very impressed and it's street driven just air up the tires and go plus a 45 minute drive!!

heh heh... :thumbsup That is right!! I ended up driving back home, picking up some Taco Bell, stopping by Culvers, and having a little fun with a Porsche 911 GT3 (see sightings forum) all after a fantastic day at the track!

It was a pleasure meeting you and your father! I look forward to seeing you guys next month! Hopefully for slicks only night; otherwise on August 19th for Import Wars #5!

Thanks Bee! The tranny is just a 99 case with a 99-spec 1st/2nd double synchro gears, Late 91-92 1st gen 3/4 single synchro gears, 1G hub/sliders, 4-spider center diff, stock front diff, etc. I rebuilt it about a month ago, and it has been doing pretty darn well so far!

I think if I change over to any other gearset, it would be doing a 3rd/4th Evo III double synchro set; but that costs around $1700 for the shafts, and entire assembly (1st through 4th) in parts to do.


You are right on the track carnage; there were several Oil/Coolant downs throughout the day that caused several long delays. The biggest breakdown was the domestic :D, but there were several imports that had their own issues.

I also heard that Prescott blew his motor on the last pass for Quick 8 -- That SUCKS! :crying I hope that the Underdog is back up and running soon!

Either way, I cannot wait for the next race!

[Jake B. (Killer Quad)]

Uhh knowing Pres the Udog may already be fixed LOL

[Bee]

see you all at the next import wars..... :thumbsup

[bearsek]

Udog broke in the burn out.

[TopSECRETHatch]

Shit happens you cant have a fast car without breaking it atleast once or a dozen times.

hey 91LSHatch, your car is pretty quick at 13.5@99mph...with LS/Vtec- 9:1 compression and basic bolt-ons...and beeyond tuning...:thumbsup
it never broke dude..never broke!!! well only if mid 13s are fast..hehe!!!

don't worry we'll get you into the 11s even with your stock block :thumbsup :banana

[TopSECRETHatch]

oh yes we will push this block to the limit. pretty simple setup+good tuning+good driving= good times and less major breakdowns unless its time and boom.lol
