Finally got my FBt running Easter-weekend, took the time to tune it and take it to the track. I got 4 runs in before blowing the spider-gears apart. Now that I finally got diff back under it, I figured I'd post the video of my best-run and my worst run for posterity.

She'll be at the Revolution.

wooooot, destroyed a neon, was it an srt-4? I love turbo fbs man


cool vid, i wanna see underneath the hood....and i think she needs some paint

It was a GT40-equipped SRT4

Wish I hadn't broken on that last run. That Neon is sponsored by a local speed-shop. Would have been fun to walk it in a beater.

I'll dig out the underhood pics after work today.

/Paint? Nah, it's more fun this way!

I am *hoping* financials this summer will work out in my favor. I am going to pursche a jdm 12at and have it in by summer's end - if all goes as planned. Everytime I get the money, something major happens and steals away $1,000 or so from my banking accounts and renders me without spare money for the engine. I too will be at the revo. Look for the '83 GSL targa with the silver band directly behind the side windows and right before the rear hatch.

cool video, ive got a S4 TII engine in my GSL-SE thats amost done. I cant wait to get it to the track. Some of my mods are haltech E6K, act clutch, FMIC, 720 secondaries, full 3 in exhaust, ported and rebuilt engine, ect. I cant wait to get it to the track after i finish it up and get ti tuned. Im worried about the rearend holding up though.

I also have to wait for the breakin thats going to be horrible not being able to drive it "like a 7" for 2K miles

Normality- look for me and my team at the revolution. We'll be near a trailer with an Orange-FC ITS car, a white FC turbo, and couple first gens that look just like mine. (Silver w/ black hoods)

Rudy- Sounds good, man. Break-in was bad for me too! I had the stock turbo on her, with all of 12-inches of exhaust-piping on the car. It was LOUD! I went 1k miles like that!

She runs 17lbs on pump-gas in mild 11-to-1 tune. She's ugly as sin, and that's just the way I like her!

These are all pics from various stages of the build.
