    4/4/08 ... the stock 91 EGT challenge

    alright so, on 4/4, weather and mechanical problems permitting (i need to get a new radiator and handbrake cables), my beater is going to new england dragway. i want to see if 14's are possible hahaha

    here are my mods/specs:
    stock exhaust (w00t!)
    s/r struts/eibach springs
    103k on a 95 EGT motor
    rx7 vaf mounted in modified stock airbox with a bitchin' fram filter
    headlight removed for l33t ram-air effect =o
    BFG drag radials 205 50 15 (helped me run a 12.61 with a 1.97 60' in the other car)
    93 octane fuel
    18* ignition advance
    verge-of-slipping stock clutch
    taylor thundervolt wires borrowed from the GTR (every little bit helps)
    new NGK v-power plugs, new cap and rotor
    ES mount inserts, and maybe LCA bushings if i get ambitious
    my l33t driving skillz


    does anyone else have any time slips for stock(ish) BP powered cars? as far as i know neuman is the current record holder at 15.592@ 88.44mph. i at least need to beat that :D.

    I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.

            i'm probably only taking it up this one time. i think if the drivetrain in the other car can handle the probably 30 passes i've made so far at 275whp this car can handle a few at stock power .

              there was a guy on here that got his LX protege to run 14.99. He had it pretty gutted though. Shed any extra weight and unhook your power steering if you still have it.

                    well, pulling those will drop maybe 50lbs total. ditch the pass seat. that weighs 29lbs give or take. that's about all you can really drop easily without getting crazy. I'm still thinking it'll be hard to break 15.5.
                    No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

                              i know you dont NEED a lift, i built the entire GTR on jackstands.

                              the problem is it's the homemade exhaust that jho pulled off his maroon car, and he cut it to remove it, so i need to have it welded back together and i think it needs to be done on the car. i need to build a downpipe/flex too, since it was originally used with a header.
