rotormind 07-21-09 11:35 AM

Definetly a good run. How much boost were u running on that pass?

turboR1 07-21-09 12:48 PM

Tommy, are you using 5 gears in that tranny before you hit the 1320 mark

turbotommy 07-21-09 12:57 PM

22psi.... i hit the rev limiter at the end of 2nd and 3rd.... maybe why i lost a little mph along with the heat......

yes, i got into 5th....5th gear is 1:1 with that gear set

The gold first gen running against El Duke got loose off the launch. I like this shot because you can see the fronts locked when he brought em back down.

Got more pics of 'yotas and whatnot.


Anyone get video of that Starlet nearly taking out the MIB car?

Viking War Hammer 07-21-09 02:20 PM

what's with tommy's doors and hatch? kevlar?

sk8world 07-21-09 02:50 PM

tommy.. what gears you running to get into 5th? Or is the tranny set up?

turbotommy 07-21-09 02:58 PM

yes its kevlar... i know its a tad ugly,,,,, im going to be painting the entire car black...

5th is exactly like 4th gear in a stock fd box.....i have a ppg gearset in a stock fd casing.... its made for roadracing.. thats why 1st gear is soo long but it works for my set up.

I was just going to say that your 1st gear is long, bet that helps with 60fts too. So does the ppg set use its own input shaft ?

I like the kelvar look.. I think it would be awesome if the whole car was like that. almost like army green... looks gangsta lol

The list has been updated, Tommy jumped to the number 2 spot!!!

rotormind 07-22-09 03:11 PM

I think its a very beautiful thing to see a rx7 drive to the track, run a 9, and just drive home 2 day in a row. You have the best car in the world IMO.

RoTaRyBoYz 07-23-09 08:21 PM

Tommy left a "father & son" team in shock after his first 9 second run :lol2:
They both had their jaws on the floor.. One immidately asked me "Is your 20b still forsale?" :lol:

I'm not calling any names, but you guys know who I'm refering to :wink:

Yes "father", the 20b is still forsale :rlaugh:

hondahater 07-24-09 07:42 AM

Sorry man I'm kind of out of the loop but was that 9 second run all motor? :rofl: never mind, reading is my friend ;)

Viking War Hammer 07-24-09 10:15 AM

Well said :icon_tup:

Apart from seeing it up close and personal, you get to have a one on one chat with the driver/owner.. Allen & myself had a very long chat with the owner of the baby blue mini tub 1st gen and that guy was very open and cool as hell... His car is a work of art, with serious attention to detail and it's making decent power too.

Most of the PR cars had their engine's on display for all to see.. The only one with a cover was team Sporty Motorsports, but I was able to sneak a peek. Skern Diaz & Eddiecito were willing to talk about their cars and answer any question that was thrown at them. I know Allen enjoyed his little chat with Skern because he (Skern) actually remember "the guy from Texas with the Rx3" :lol:

Despite the lack of sleep and being tired like a dog, Pan American 2009 was simply the best and it was well worth all the hassle & stress.

Pics will be loaded soon
