it was the gayest race day ive ever had, both the engine builder and tuner were there helping out to solve the issues and its just fucked .
Im the ten second queen .
Jay you wouldnt believe how many times i told them im gonna do blow through carb
I feel your pain. We've all had one of those days I call, "Gremlins", were nothing seems to work out. I'm sure you'll get it sorted out and will be back soon to hit that 9 second pass. Hang in there bro.

Sexy time!!! If you're looking to save a few pounds, ShineAuto has the FC2000 replica bumper for a good price, it eliminates the pop-up light brackets and all. Definitely shaved a few pounds on my FC. Same goes with fiberglass fenders.

I remember back when I was chasing higher numbers. I went 12.3 on stock turbos (1999). Was many years later before I hit the 1/4 mile again but skipped the 11's and went high 10's. So screw the 9's man!!!

Are you going clutchless?

8 2000cc inj?

Even lighter?

You better go deap in the 9's on your first pass or we will ban you on here!

Nice crank beef. What you using for ecu? Why are you going with a crank trig? Is it better?

Oh and how much is the adapter for the liberty? **** your car be going to get to that nine or even 8's soon. Best of luck

my ecu is a motec unit, the crank trigger just gives a more stable ignition signal, no slack or gears to give a slightly twisted signal, the liberty adapter i havent herd back from my workshop yet, they have organised it , as i couldn't get a answer from the supplier .
before 9sor 8s i think its going to be weddings haha , bugger
