700 @ the rear




You would have to finish paying off the car I still have about $3500 owed.

700rwd, I might take it with 600 awd.

What car you running around in again?

Got a few videos, not the best but here they are.

Second run was vs a 95 5.0 HO Mustang ( The guy who didnt get my GST ) from the town I live in, a real cocky guy that talks a lot of shit and thinks his shit is fast. Again, this was a tuning run, I let off on the 1/8th mile and hit the brakes pretty hard.

ME----Five point Slow
1/8 8.08-10.92
MPH 95.88-70.03
1/4 13.27-16.42
MPH 72.12-90.20

Since I was having such traction issues, lighting them up in 1st and second and becoming squirrely I kept turning down my boost at the line. I went from launching at 5,000 RPM's down to 4,000 at this point. In hindsight, I wish I would have kept it at the 4500-4750 mark because at the end of this run, not only did I not get to examine my log of the run, but I could make no further changes since the battery on my Q1 was dead and I forgot my charger so I could not tune anymore and I was stuck bogging HARD AS FUCK off the line.

This was a full pass. You can kind of see what a bog does as the MPH difference on us is so high.

ME - 97 SUPRA
1/8 8.08-8.07
MPH 97.39-91.21
1/4 12.14-12.44
MPH 126.06-115.10

LOL I could not even warm the tires that time!

Last run of the night was against a new Mustang GT, full pull on a boggy launch!

ME -Mustang GT
1/8 8.44-10.44
MPH 97.82-71.66
1/4 12.52-15.80
MPH 126.03-91.68

Bring that to Greaserama next year man. It's held in KC, MO, so not very far.




If I can get it done in time. The bottom picture, the DEANO is possibly sold so chances are I wont get it. I am trying to sell my 95 GST to fund this project.

I am looking at some more shells tomorrow if the weather holds up as back ups. I have not decided if I am going to go open roadster ( Highly doubtful ), use a truck cab or make a chop top ( doubtful ).

Where in Misery are you? I am next to Truman Lake.




Spfd. The next one isn't until Labor Day 2009, so who knows. I just go for the hell of it.

"Mitsubishi Motors Corporation is the sixth largest automaker in Japan "
"they agreed to unite in a vehicle manufacturing operation in Normal, Illinois. The 50/50 venture provided a way to circumvent the voluntary import restrictions, "
"In 1991, Chrysler sold its equity stake in Diamond-Star Motors to its partner, and from then on they continued to share components and manufacturing on a contractual basis only. Chrysler decreased its interest in Mitsubishi Motors to less than 3 percent in 1992,"

Its considered a domestic. I mean hell, the Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser are domestic's right? Same exact car just different bumpers and side mouldings. Hell, I pick up parts for my car from the local Dodge dealer!

Mazda 3, thats turbo right?

2007 Mazdaspeed 3 5.4 14.0

Not too shabby of a car stock, keeps up with those SRT-4's.
