Whats your 2012 goal's?
 
I have been quite on here lately. Just needed a break. Ordered some new clutch disk's today, started the car for the first time in 2 months and cleaned it up. Not making any major changes so my goal is still to hit the 9's. I should mention this will be the 4th season on this motor unopened. I plan to race in 5 events this year and maybe hit one up north that Anthony mentioned.

Who is chasing what?

My friend is just like you , He runs and runs and his engine still good, Most people tell him open and adjust and retune and all this stuff he says im good I go to track race it if it sounds good i keep going I wont touch it if it sound like shttt I stop go home and check, ..

good luck

chino_rx3 01-25-12 07:41 PM

My goal Retore my baby this year and run,, I dont care if is 15seconds lol, having the car in the starting lane will be my biggest goal this year,

ultimatejay 01-25-12 09:09 PM

9 Second all motor pass

13B-RX3 01-25-12 11:55 PM

Hopefully a fat tax return will get me much closer to my goal. I go pick up a key piece to the puzzle this weekend :) I am talking with a good friend about painting the car the car this winter and hopefully get it down the track a few times this year. I don't plan on pushing it beyond low boost till maybe MIR. I just want to go out and have some fun with friends!

sk8world 01-26-12 12:17 AM

Sounds good guys! Were are the rest of you? Still too cold for some of you I guess!

C. Ludwig 01-26-12 01:18 AM

Mu goal is to actually work on my car. I did begin stripping it over the last few weeks. When I have time, this week or maybe next, I'll pick up the 4-link back-half kit and go to work on that. Figure if I can get the front and rear suspension together this year I'll be happy.

This year I plan on just getting to a few test and tunes and not end up racing for the first time at major events!!!

94rxtt 01-26-12 08:54 AM

You better stop that BS Anthony and race at the major events...lol

streetdreamzny 01-26-12 04:40 PM

My goal is to finally get out of the damn 11's been stuck there too long. Also may race in the top street points season at Englishtown.

flaco 01-26-12 04:45 PM

uhhh!!! finish my car and open the shop soon soon soon

sen2two 01-26-12 10:14 PM

Have the exterior and interior completed on my all motor car. And if I get lucky, the front and rear suspension done too... Or at least finish the rear end work.

killahrx7 01-26-12 11:57 PM

mine is to run 10.25 lol

RoTaRyBoYz 01-27-12 12:00 AM

Paint my Rx3 and maybe install a 20b it in.... If no 20b then throw in that REW semi pp motor that's been on the shelf since Jesus was a baby. Seeing that I'm an inconsistent person, the Rx3 will probably stay there and I would put my time into another piece of junk

drag 7 01-27-12 06:34 PM

to help my son run 10s with his all motor street car

JZG 01-27-12 09:45 PM

My plan is to run an 8 in my street car - on pump gas!

SPEED_NYC 01-27-12 10:42 PM

my goal is to get a few bugs worked outta my car (install line loc, rebuild throw out bearing, and get my trailing 2 spark working again) and turn the boost up a little, hopefully by the end of the season get a 9.6x out of it..

I think I mentioned to you earlier that I want to be quicker than 10.3 on pump gas. I maybe looking to get my son a FD. He is 15 now. I'm looking for something close to stock to be on the safe side fro a young driver. It'll be fun for us to work on together.

How you doing Bobby? I spoke to Paul at liberty this week and he mentioned you. We talked about the shafts and they are in the works of building more! Only down side is they will be a lower grade material. He says they will be plenty strong, just wasn't profitable using the old material.

Doing well. I think I will be moving to SE Georgia soon from Ohio. I really like Paul and I'm enjoying the tranny. I was going to get the upgraded shaft but he sold the last one before he got to mine. No problems so far in the mid 600 whp range.
Looking forward to getting to the track now with the line lock and 2 step working. I'd really like to get down to your times......Maybe I should just let you drive my car.LOL Take care man.

DonaldC 02-01-12 10:21 PM

Get the project up and running and hopefully completed within the year.

I was running a ProForm body 650 Holley but swapped over to a standard body. Feels a lot snappier now.

NoPis10 02-13-12 10:41 PM

Get my FD into the 10's as she sits with FULL interior, A/C, PS and all the other creature comforts...

I changed to ET streets and knocked off .4 secs from my 1/8 mile times a few weeks ago... Haven't been to the track cause of some issues but hopefully she will see the track this week or next..

864angel112 02-14-12 05:22 PM

I hope to finally hit the track this year, I recently sold my touring and pick up a clean automatic base model that I plan to do the manual swap and put the parts that I have to good use. Look out for my s475 build coming soon.lol

john ward 02-14-12 08:17 PM

I wanna quit doing research and reading this forum and actually start the build this summer.
