rotaryB-2000 07-05-10 05:27 PM

turbo10th 07-07-10 08:16 PM

^Looks like me and Ernie so far, but im still waiting on the clutch and i have no access to a lift so its gonna be a drive way swap and also have to take the flywheel to the machine shop friday during my lunch break and then try to get it all back together but the weather doesnt look like its gona work with me:(

ErnieT 07-07-10 09:04 PM

Actually Im not racing either lol. I wanna save my car for the Pan Ams and my son has a swim meet that I don't wanna miss.

turbo10th 07-07-10 09:16 PM

Gezz, you know anyone with a spare OEM axle? I need a back up just incase and i bought napa's last one in MD and they told me 5-7 days and everywhere else its 2-3 days?

ErnieT 07-07-10 09:36 PM

Call Ray. He has a million of them.

turbo10th 07-08-10 09:11 AM

He wants $150 per axle:lol: i paid $59+tax from napa cause i had a core.

ErnieT 07-08-10 02:09 PM

You might want to call Malloy Mazda and ask how much a real set of Mazda axels are, not a knock off. You gotta pay to play and nobody said racing was cheap. Or upgrade, which you'll need to do anyhow if your gonna race much. get the driveshaft shop axles for $750 or the level 4 setup for $2000. $150 doesn't sound too bad to me.

Just got one from auto zone for $79.00 they are all pretty much the same. Ive gone through 2 axles with about 20 passes the ones i break are the OEM ones i had. And ive made 1.45-1.55 60's many of those passes. Im getting ready to pull the trans now:(

turboR1 07-09-10 02:32 PM

I would have sold you a pair of axles for $100 from my car with 30k miles, only one and half passes at the track with them. First pass cut 1.49 second pass busted rear lol. I have a thread in the NE classified section.

Ernie what do you mean your saving it for the pan ams lol.

ErnieT 07-09-10 02:40 PM

Meaning if Im gonna try and beat my best et, its gonna be there and not some local race that doesn't really mean anything. You comin? (to the Pan Ams)

turbo10th 07-09-10 10:51 PM

Just got the clutch done, im ready(for Craptiol)

FelixIsGod29X 07-09-10 10:53 PM

You gotta break the clutch in first.

turboR1 07-09-10 11:07 PM

Bro, you need to just put a cage in the car. Atleast a 6pt with swingouts. Car will still look fine. Even though a 6pt isn't legal for 9's, you much less likely to get kicked out.

jamespond24 07-11-10 10:03 PM

Anybody went to this event and what's the result?

sk8world 07-12-10 04:52 PM

Heard a red fd was runner up in one class (talk on honda-tech) but no talk on a certain yellow wheelie popping fd???

Spill it bitches!! What happened!

turbo10th 07-12-10 06:04 PM

I was runner up in forced induction sport, only cause that srt4 red lighted the round before, then got put up against some prelude and i got out of the hole first and had him till about half track then he crept up on me by the 1000' and got me(prelude 10.8@137 me 11.0@124). My car wasnt running like it should my best pass of the day was a 10.87@125(normal avg) but my avg of the day was a 11.0 which is all it had in it even tried turning the boost up a hair. It was pretty hot and humid which didnt help my 60' and power but i had fun and won $100 and the FD held up so it was a good day:).

sk8world 07-12-10 06:15 PM

Thanks, ha i wish i dont have that kinda money. Im still on ET streets i bought from Ray last year that were about to get thrown away but im cutting like 1.45-1.57 60's. Im just having fun and enjoying my car, also killed a new yellow camaro with some jersey shore looking dude driving and some hot girl in the passenger seat on the way home from the event. He tried the ricer fly by and i put it in third as he passed and left him like the car left the lot:lol: then he kept trying to show off but i made him look dumb i was happy:).

ErnieT 07-12-10 07:43 PM

Congrats on the runs! I skipped this one for some steamed crabs with the family ;) Maryland style..

HybridMT 07-14-10 05:31 PM

Thanks for coming out, nice race in the finals. From the stands it looked like you had him until about the 1000'. See if you can make it down for the Virginia event on August 15th.
