LUPE

I need to learn how to shift

I made 4 passes after that and missed 3rd gear each time. I should have stayed in the gas the first time

crispeed

The next time you come in here and say you lift again I'm going to come up ther and put my foot in your........!
You have to actually run in the '9's before you get kicked out. Also you need to be able to do two consistent 9 sec runs for your license runs so stop messing around and leave that right foot planted to the floor!

WTF??!! I guess congrats are in order cause it's very VERY obvious you have a solid 9sec car......that is if you can keep your foot in it.

So what kind of setup did you end up running? I'm really curious to see what the end result was that allowed that 1.43 60' time. Not bad at all!

wow, thats a nine second run for sure, if you keep your foot down! you are improving, thats a good thing...if you run a 9 you cant sell her!

Well your 60 foots are looking very nice now. Whatever changes you made must agree with your setup. Nice job!

Andrew

LUPE

Yeah, my short times were starting to suffer as the night went on (Air was getting cooler and so was the track).

razorback

i see whatever you did helped considerably.

wishing you had an auto now?

dubulup

I need to find some gas. I bought the last of what my supplier had

VP C16 is hard to come by around these parts.

Congrats Eric! I can't watch the vid so you will have to tell me. What part of the track is the car spinning? If you keep shaving time off the car like you have been you will me deep in the 9s for sure.

LUPE

Actually, the only time that it was spinning last night was on the launch. It hooked in every gear. I need a better shifting transmission and some softer springs in the back.

I appreciate all the help you guys have given me.

crispeed

So when are you going back?

LUPE

As soon as I can find some VP C16. I bought the last of what my supplier carries.

He's not buying anymore until next year

VP C16 is hard to come buy in the midwest.

crispeed

Well why don they just order a drum for you then?

LUPE

My wife only lets me buy 10 gallons at a time or I would have a drum sitting in my garage

The shop mainly caters to circle track guys and those guys aren't racing this time of year so they stop ordering gas.

I actually found someone who has a 50 gallon drum but it's been sitting in his garage for almost 2 years now. Is that too old?

mcfly

gas breaks down over time.
3 years is the point in which normal gas breaks down to the point you dont want to use it in your honda.

2 yr old race gas in your engine eric.
i wouldn't try it
