Which FD in SCC has best chance?
 

In the July issue of Sport Compact Car, which FD do you think SHOULD represent the 3rd gen? I am thinking Isaac Gilbert's or Matt McGraw's.

Anyone else?

If its the same Isaac Gilbert from Jacksonville FL, he rebuilt my previous motor. The car looks almost like his, with the exception of the different rims. . . . .

I'm gonna vote for all the FD's! :D

don't overlook mine. It is number 35 and has more done now than it says there. See sig.

running about 15.5 psi on average

Not a bad performance list, but what about their "granny test", "show test", "smog test", and mpg test"? I'm guessing you'll to get rid of the atr midpipe for the granny test & smog, which will then hurt you in the dyno/race section.

What ever happened to Steve & Rich? Are their cars in there? I need to get my mag back from Batmobile:mad:

yeah granny test i am completely screwed and same on emissions.

But all i need to do is turn the boost down for the mpg and stay low rpms.

And for the car show I may not have a body kit, but i do have a bunch of custom installed electronics i did myself, including a 12" Kicker L7 Solo-Baric sub with a Kicker 600 watt mono amp to it in a custom box I built to fit perfect in the back. The seats and harnesses with the roll bar should score some points and same for the front mount I/C with the spray kit. Get a good polish on them wheels(takes a good 1.5 hours a wheel) and I should be set.

I voted for brian earl spilner, hehehe

double... delete

LOL! I saw that in there also and almost choked on my pepsi. :D

Steve is up to his ears in rebuilt motors at Gotham Racing and Rich is getting RPGs and AK-47s shot at him in Iraq :D.

Maybe next year. I think my 7 would have had a shot with the new additions of the Stage 3s and the Blingalicious Fikses.....

I think that having so many FDs to choose from is going to make it hard to get one in the show. We need to back only one car as a group if we want to see any of them make it.
I'll go with Spierer if that is what others want. Nothing wrong with helping out a fellow forum guy.

I dunno, none of them are too heavely modded, I would say matt Mcgraw but is he running on stock shocks and spring? lol.

My write in vote is Rich, after riding in that beast I think it could tear all of them up!

This contest is all crap. No matter how much you vote they will pick the cars that will be in the top 10. Last year that Viper lived like 15 minutes away from the shooting spot and knew everyone there, he was a profressional race car driver, so of course he won. I'm really good friends with the guy that drives the yellow integra that was in it last year. He said that no one really even tried cause they all knew who was going to win from the start.

i think gerry finks SRX 7 would have really had a shot at winning, i heard something about how one or both of his fuel pumps went out so he never got to finish. I still think his car has the best shot, hopefully this time around he has cured most of the bugs out of it.

I met that guy in Cincy with yellow integra also.. he was crazy.. wanting to race Vector M12's for $1000... and wanting to race T-78 FD... We kind of laughed at him.. Just because he had a turbo kit on an integra think that he could take any car....

Thanks to anyone who is voting for me. I believe what has been said though, you already know who will win when you get there. I just want to experience it and see how well my FD stacks up to some crazy ass supercars (Supercharged Viper/Corvette). I will have new pics later tonight of all that has been done since the entry.

any other votes?

Yeah Dave with the Vector owns the company. Very cool guy. Chance is the guy with the red t-78 FD. He's on the board, call911 is his name. But the yellow integra, Deric, his car is fast. He put down high 400 WHP while heatsoaked. He also has a bigger turbo since then too.

That SRX-7 guy like drove off the road track and broke his suspension, that's why he couldn't finish the contest. He didn't really have a good chance of winning cause he failed the emissions test really bad, and the grandma test. But the contest is staged ftom start to finish so who cares. That's why my friend didnt enter again, he said it's a waste of time.

Lol, thanks man. Just wait until I get the 3 bar map sensor and crank the boost to 20 psi :evilgrin:

How is that high flow cat holding up for you?

Also, when did you catch a ride? Did Steve take you out in my 7?

I can only imagine...It's already SICK

The Hi-Flo CAts working out...Once I can afford the Power Fc i'll go midpipe though.

Hmm Before the shop opened i wanna say aprilish?

Anyone know how to get ahold of Matt McGraw?
