Well okay, 9's in the 1/8thmi.

I found out how to get my stock-size tires to HOOK (185/70R13 Goodyear Clubs). Many Goodyears get more traction the more you heat them up, and these tires are not an exception - 20psi and big smoky burnouts give me so much traction that when I dump the (stock, barely 13-15k old) clutch at WFO and 5000rpm, the tires don't spin, the clutch just slips down! 60' times in the 2.14-2.15 range, and would be a lot better with a stronger clutch!

But now I'm losing coolant "somewhere" and my spark plugs are getting a funny green tint on the insulators, so this means, ah, it's time to get my FC running. :/ Right now I don't know what I want to do... I'd like to do some "port revisions" when I pull the engine apart (see "Latest Project" ) but then the car wouldn't be a daily driver and I couldn't boast about getting 25mpg. And I'd have to put in a TII tranny and have a driveshaft made up (read: tons and tons of $$$) or I'll probably be popping trannies left and right.

Argh. I want a killer car but it's most sucking making only about $12-16k/year...
