into the 13's !!
It's not confirmed as our drag strip is closed for the season, however my brother in law has a n/a neon (no computer/internals) with 14.2 timeslip. With a passenger in my 7 I grabbed some ground on him through 2nd. Yes, we let off and it wasn't a full quarter mile, but I was a bit behind with lack of traction top of first, so I know I should be quicker than him (especially with traction problems lauching at 2500 rpms). I didn't have a timeslip, so I have to keep the thread out of that section, but I beat a 14.2 neon!
Mods:
We went down and weighed the cars last night also. With some crap little more than 1/2 tank of gas and 1/2 my dash to remove still (the metal part lol), my 86 n/a weighed in at 2400lbs. He was at 2260lbs (thus why he's so quick
). I have a pineapple racing template large streetport, haven't gotten my pineapple racing sixthport inserts (so there's nothing in there to actuate/open and driveability on the road isn't bad at all). Gasket matched intake, throttle body mod with smoothed elbow and ported/smoothed mass airflow sensor. Full racing beat turbo exhaust (n/a header of course). Autox suspension (need to do the rear mount/subframe bushings still though). Only belt is e-shaft, water pump, alternator. Stripped interior, 205R50's on my old vert's rims, and a street/strip clutch. My timing is still way off as I last had to "tune it by ear... lol"
With the rest of the bushings and some wider tires, I know I could be a mid 13 on a stock computer!

It's alot of weight reduction.
I had a giant truck run into me several years ago, and I got the body straight enough to bolt a fender from my vert, a fender from a buddy of mine and the hood/nose from my vert (1988), so my car is red with white nose/hood/fender and a gray gxl fender lol. It looks horrible, I broke the cable to open my hood, but the hood doesn't close all the way anyways =p. Oh the headlights are out of the gray gxl... So the car doesn't look very nice with the porting has a slightly loppy idle so anyone looking at it and hearing it run (without knowing what the loppy idle is from) would and does think the car is just a POS.
I would like to eventually get a t2 drivetrain with a lightend flywheel (I can't wait for the lsd
), megasquirt, 150-200 shot of nitrous, and at least a 275 tire all the way around. Without the nitrous I hope to be in the 12's. As fast as this all is in a straight line, the Nitrous is the only thing I am doing specifically for the drags. I live on the oregon border, and have a bunch of curvy roads and hills. It's not meant for some specific race or some specific class, just a car that I want to drive.
If I can get a hold of a video camera I'll get some incar videos. Of course when the track is opened next season I'll get a timeslip too, however just having the car back on the road I just couldn't wait.
List of kills so far:
h22 prelude (they were laughing at me at a stoplight so I let them have it =p)
14.2 sec 1/4 mile neon
my (pregnant) wife drove the car through a curvy part of highway 101 and a 325i bmw started tailgating her, she entered a couple corners (at the protest of a blinking SLOWDOWN! 35mph!!! sign) at about 60, we didn't see the beamer until we hit a straight section and she slowed back down lol.
An old Dodge Conquest boost creeping to 11-13psi (this guy talked so much crap! "Oh you can't keep up, I have a turbo! I don't think there's anyway you can keep up! I run a 13.0 flat dudzors!!!11!11" beat him by about 5 cars top of third lol)
a fully built civic hatch with a dohc vtec ls swap (Fastest non s2k/nsx/nitrous honda I've ever raced!)
a stripped out lightly moddified 240sx
Most of these didn't stand a chance, however there's not a whole lot to race out here (thus why it's a car that I just want to drive everywhere, not build just for the drag strip.)
I must be tired today... I always ramble on and on when I'm tired/drunk... (ps. no I'm not drunk right now)

couple of 205 all weathers... Shoulda seen the car when I first got it with only the precats punched (had to have the main cat/stock airfilter for smog) The person I got it from put so much money into the suspension he couldn't afford decent tires and got some old 185's cheapo's... That was the first autocross I went to in it and spent most of the track time sideways... (miata people drawing up the course and all =p)
Best launches I had were on some 205 racing slicks down at the drags when the just re-paved the track! 5000 rpms launches and only 15' of wheel spin (the awd guys didn't care much for it as their first ended at 30 and I always was ahead at that point!)
