passtime on speed
 
Just seen a white 2nd gen on passtime. Car ran a 12.1 in the combo round I beleive they said they were in Tuson Arizona. Curious if he is on the forum.

yep just saw it and it killed the stealth that was running with it(missed a gear 1st to second i believe). a white 10th AE with a v mount set up. pretty quick

Sounds like it could be J-Rat, but his car is alot faster than 12 seconds...

RB_eater 01-30-09 08:29 PM

9's I believe? :dunno:

He is in arizona though.

J-Rat 01-30-09 11:12 PM

It was me...

I had a broken motor mount that I wasnt aware of at the time. The IC pipe blew off when the motor settled back down after the shift.. Embarrassing..... :(

and the Stealth nuked an axle...

Ouch.... 12's aren't that bad though...

i thought passtime was 1 car at a time, while 3 guys guess the et?? i didnt know you drag against other cars... maybe i never sit long enough thru an entire show lol

what times where they guessing?

They have one round that is a combo round, where two cars go at once. It is the second $200 round. I can't believe you've never watched a whole show. It's one of my more favorite ones on speed. But then again, that might be because I don't have to look at Rich Christiansan or whatever that tool bags name is.

Just out of curiousity, what did the contestants guess the overall time would be for both cars? They always seemed stumped by imports.

^haha sorry man, i guess the only thing i watch on speed religiously is the F1 race coverage. Id wake up at 4am just to catch the races live lol.

in that case, dam i wish you woulda pulled that 9.. woulda blew em away lol

1SWEET7 01-31-09 12:12 PM

Haha ^^^^^ I have got up real early to watch F1 before too. Anyone have a link to the vid?

Joe13BT 01-31-09 12:39 PM

Too bad you had a problem. First time I heard about the car and tough the time and sound of the car were really far from a car with 35psi you said was running.........

solareon 01-31-09 12:47 PM

that's pretty cool that you were on the speed channel. and kicked some domestic butt

J-Rat 01-31-09 01:30 PM

I never said I was running 35 PSI,l that was the other guy trevor.

Omixeo 01-31-09 01:45 PM

The stealth had 35psi with the GT42 turbo. And the FC doesn't run 9's. It runs 10's.

Nice car.... To bad you blew the pipe off would have been nice to throw down a 10.00 pass.

J-Rat 01-31-09 02:25 PM

Couldnt agree more. Its pretty damn embarrassing if you ask me, but I will get over it. I am just happy that we figured out the problems that were plaguing the car for almost a year now..

junito1 01-31-09 04:10 PM

It was the motor mount the whole time? What was the problem?

J-Rat 01-31-09 08:30 PM

Apparently I broke the stud in the motor mount but I never thought to check. Every pass we made the turbo compressor would come out of clock and the IC coupler would have been blown off. I was re-clocking the turbo for the umpteenth time and when I was prying on it the motor came up. Thats when we looked at the motor mounts and discovered the problem.

Joe13BT 01-31-09 11:57 PM

ohhh lol, I tough that was you since they where talking about rotaries after that.....

Johny zoom 02-01-09 08:47 AM

J-Rat 02-01-09 12:32 PM
