Drag racing last night vid
Well, got 5 runs in last night in the 8th mile. I did some setup changes- some worked really well and others I have to work on. I'm still running rich and only had the time to change one jetting size and that helped. I miss shifted into 3rd gear two times- whenver I try to shift fast the TII trans just doesnt want to go in. Doesn't even grind just gets stuck, so as you can see in the vids I'm still granny shifting terribly. My 60ft dropped from a 1.67 to a 1.56, but my best time was a 7.85, which doesn't break my 7.83 record, so I am a little dissapointed but that's what R&D is all about. I cam home with nothing broken and had alot of fun so I'm good. On June 13 I am finally running the full 1/4 and this is where my new setup should shine so we shall see. Here's the vid. comments good or bad are welcome. LOL

That's funny you say that because my little 12abp N/A is only one second slower than your Turbo charged FD you had. How much money did you steal and put into that FD?
Eric, I was hard on you in the past because you were a *****, but lately I have tried to make ammends and if I'm sure you have noticed that I have made some nice comments in your build thread, but I guess your still an *******. Oh well, once an ******* always an *******.

Nice car , hey that is how you get fast by going to the track and have fun and test and tune and learn the misstakes and errors and correct them , Good luck next time i am sure it will get faster.

I have a great sense of humor, but when you put an explamation point at the end of a sentence and no smilies, it sounds like your serious. Whatever, like most of your post responses are one liner smart remarks.
Thanks, yeah that's what its all about. I wish more rotary guys would come out to the track too. I usually am the only rotary there. Sometimes like on this nite, my friend Chris came out, but we need more of you guys out there representing for sure.
Actions speak louder than words.
Thanks Allen, I'm running royal purple synchromax in my trans. I have no excuses. I just suck at shifting. I am more afraid of missing a shift and not nowing how my tune went so I granny shift. I have been concentrating on my tune and set up so my shifting is lazy. I am now going to concentrate on my driving skills. My reaction time is off the chain. I had a perfect light and the others have been really close too so I just need to concentrate on slamming gears. A clutchless trans would easily knock of a half a second or more, but not in the budget for a good while.
That is nasty. I just throw my dog in the backyard and let her deal with it naturally.
Thank you sir, your RX3 was and still is one of my favorites. Do you plan on ever running a N/A car ever again?
Thanks. 1/4 mile times coming soon- June 13. Stay tuned.

Good to see and hear your little RX-2 on track How heavy is your flywheel? Kind of to short 1st gear and to damn wide spread thenKeep up the good work and lower your times next time

If you car is strictly a drag car then send your gearset to liberty's and have them do the face engagement mod. The reason most people with turbo cars don't mess with the factory box if for strength reasons but you don't have to worry about that. IIRC the mod is only like $75-$100 per gear. That would cure all your problems without having to buy a $5000+ transmission.

Allen, can this be done to my fd tranny as well? I too suck *** with the 3rd gear shift! Who is the guy to talk with there? Also I just run whatever for fluid as I always thought the redline and such was a waste. Should I try royal purple in there?
