What did you do to your BG(part 8)

[atomicEGT]

thread derail aside:

thinking about picking up new drag radials and seeing if I can get into the 11s on street tires with a baby seat. anyone think I can do it?

[KAinjection]

We better remove this then.........

[Boosted Escort]

the dudes in Florida make it seem easy. I'd say your making enough power to get it into 11s as long as your not spinning all the way up the track.

[atomicEGT]

yeah, that'll be the tricky part. if I can't get it to hook until 3rd I don't have a chance.

sigh..........

Atomic, if you want traction, stay away from bfg drag radials. Try Mickey Thompson or Hoosier drag radials for best traction.

sweet baby jesus lol wtf.

Installed my Turbosmart in cabin MBC today bent up some brake line to feed the vac/boost signal into the car and it worked quite well! Followed the p/s line to the firewall and in cabin she went lol...seems to want to spike to 10psi in the lower gears, so I'm going to gut the "T source" unit...the instructions say to do so if it's a bit too sensitive lol...clearly they haven't seen the size of our WG flapper

I'll sacrifice a little traction to not break axles/transmissions... and really, it comes down to what it's going to cost me for them, because I'd much rather spend money on my S13.

pretty sure the RHB5 series turbos have the worst wastegates ever.

Pulled the E36 projectors and Familia Foglight Grille off the wagon, for stock tracer headlights and grille. Also put stock struts and springs on it with factory 14" steelies... Traction is an issue in the first two gears, and It needs a left rear wheel bearing... fun to toss around the corners on this setup though.

Shot a quick video of a 3rd gear pull to see if the passenger headrest would work as a camera mount. Probably won't post it, too much information in the video. Will get another this weekend though.

yep they're horribly small lol...boost spike went away with the ball/spring removed from the gate though...just need my other VAF!

Josh, I find it really hard to believe you've never heard someone say, "that's gay, man" with malicious intent.

Not anyone I know personally. *shrugs*

Time to hunt down an A-code?

[wgnths]

did i see you said a video?? lol looking forward to seeing it man. ^^

Im in the market for better tires to use at the track as well but like you said Id rather let my tires slip vs breaking something like the tranny. I just need to get rid of my NT01s anyone want them?? haha.

been getting around 26mpg with mixed driving, not too sad about that i guess.

[atomicEGT]

I'd love to post it because the car sounds mean as hell (and watching the speedo needle dance around is pretty funny) but you can tell from the road signs where I am and that I'm not exactly doing the speed limit...
