Lets see those pictures and videos!

Here's a couple audio clips of the bridgeported 12A I got with my phone.

Hadn't warmed up yet, complete with bonus lesbian yelling at the end.

Warmed up idling.

 

^ trochoids?

 

^^Yep.

WHAT A **** DAY FOR A BBQ!

I'm still shivering (and slightly drunk)

Good to see you all though.

Untill next time..........

 

WOW I completely missed this, I thought that it was next weekend. Damnit.

 

Well it looks like more fun was had after I left. It was good to meet all of you. Hopefully in spring the weather will be better. Maybe we can throw it in Wichita.
Thanks Midwest 7's and Alex-7 for the efforts in putting this show on.

 

Whoa. Whose FD with the huge FMIC?
LOL, Looks like a decent turnout despite the weather. If you guys ever get nice weather, you'll have to reserve the whole park. Sorry I missed this, save me a parking spot in the spring.

 

Remember, you promised everyone better weather for the next one.

 

trying to get some burnout vids onto computer, but need an adapter for the camera. anyone else get some vids?

 

I got some real short ones on my camera. Not sure how to get them to a computer. Maybe I need to read the manual.

 

Yep.

Spring bbq will be perfect.

 

wish I could've made it out, but I was busy during the day...i'll def. be at the spring one tho

 

I need vids dammit, VIDS!!!! pics too if ya got em of the burnouts. Whoever has my burnout better show the whole thing, including when it died lol. Thats the best part.

 

+1

Kgray, tell your amigo to upload some vids asap!

 

i have like 5 vids but it wont let me upload them

 

DUDE, get on it!!!! I just got home a lil bit ago and I need that **** before I finally go to bed!!!! I woke up yesterday at 2pm lol. You gotta hook me up man. DOOO IIITTTT

 

I also demand some vids

 

we need a new video card or an adaptor so i dont know how long its going to be

 

That be me. Didn't know I was being taped, lol. Got a bit louder on the way home. Haven't got it in the shop yet, but I think I toasted the exhaust mani gasket.

Somebody post my burnout vid please. It will be the one and only ever taken of the 12a 1/2bp, engine swap coming this winter.

 

we have all of the burnouts on video. the problem is getting the software to put it on computer. I won't have access to the camera till next week, but they will be up as soon as i can get them.

 

While we're all waiting for the videos, I've gotta axe you guys a question.

What portion of the drivetrain is stressed (or damaged) while doing an epic burnout? I know the clutch takes a beating if you don't do it right, does the differential get cooked while the tire(s) are spinning? The tires on my FD are junk and deserve to be smoked but I'm so damn paranoid about the car I'd never actually do it, I'm just curious.

 

I would think that pretty much everything would be stressed, but it was designed to take it. If you are having wheel hop issues, then your suspension will take a harder beating then it is obviously supposed to and you may break something. I would think that since the engine, trans, and diff are under load and the car is stationary that the lubrication and cooling factors would be cut down a bit. Basically, the engine and driveline was built to be under load while moving. SO, there may be a chance of the engine running a bit warmer than normal. Also a chance that the oil in the trans and diff would get warmer than normal and casuing it to break down prematurely. I really dont think that you would need to worry about anything (except maybe blowing a coolant line if they are old) if the burnout was less than 5 minutes long. Thats way on the safe side, and a damn good burnout. In most real world conditions, I bet you could last much longer before you noticed any severe damage come from it. Anyways I am rambling, so yeah spin em til they pop.

 

Once the tires are spinning, there aren't any shock loads on the systems, which is where parts break. Once spinning, keep any eye on temps since the air flow isn't there from forwaed movement. I know when I did my burnout. my tach instantly pegged at 8k and I didn't notice it at first, oops.

 

that was my first one ever and I just kept it at 5.5k with my eye on the water temp

can't hear **** breaking over my exhaust though is the bad thing
