ekjim Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Posted June 8, 2008 Hi all, been a long time since the last update... Since last time over a year ago many things have changed, but since early 2008 the goal for me was to get the car to run a 12 second quarter mile, preferably on full street trim. This year various things changed engine wise, slight specs upped i.e injectors and on omex ecu was installed...This allowed an engine remap which created 274hp at the rear wheels at 6000rpm, a lot lower than the intended 7k. I was still happy with this and over the past few months I have made my own ladder bar setup and lowered the gear ratio to 4:1. Today I had the car at the local drag strip ( crail ) to see how things went...With me I also took a pair of slicks and a 70hp NOS system ( which i intended not to use ). The first run after rolling off the line was 13.7 at 110mph Which i was happy with but i eventually lowered this time to a 13.2 at 112mph, still with a gentle launch and full street trim and no gas. After only one other attempt, with a slight touch of gas I managed a 13.0 at 115mph, but didnt get another go due to a plugs melting at the end of the quarter ....im very happy with this but gutted that there was no twelve! Just thought I would share with you all Jim. P.s i might try and avoid putting pics up the now due to a possible upcoming feature in a magazine
mk1rob Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 This car is awesome! Like people have said, its great to see something different! Wheels arn't to my taste but each to their own! Might look good black tho!
Yeomans22 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Looks like a nice car, couldn't you put smaller wheels with low profile tyres on the back for better acceleration ?
numbnuts Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Did you need a tub of lard to get that motor in there? Great install and a great engine. I bet the bloke in the black Toyota was miffed he he. Great stuff! _________________ Mercedes 300D
