Felo was a 1.8 3tc toyota, running electromotive, and I beleive at some point it had a supercharger (damn, I am getting old, can't remember that far back)

Bam Bam, I always confused that car with "El Torpedo" but if I am not mistaken, it had a few different combinations, it went from a 13B NA to a 20B NA and then back to 13B? (I believe evey single engine combination was configured with nitrous).

 

sweet damn felo was a 1.8 then again i was like 12 when i used to see it run at atco, back when rafaelito and bam bam were running the east

my bad i just wanted to know what it was now i know lol

 

sorry bro pero el bam bam has allways had a 13b , el torpedo origanally had a 12a , thats the motor that was put on the killer girl and ran 10.3xxs after that torpedo went to 13b

 

I know your asking about the stock chassis 12A class, but I just wanted to tell you about these folks, they raced 12A's for many years and hard at it... Ortega family legendary in the sport of import drag racing. this pic was from a race track in caguas P.R. back in the early 80'2 Mazda R100 12A engine

 

Ito,

I don't believe that. I never heard about that car and I wasn't there to see that.
It can't be true..

 

My bad

There was a miata that had a 20B , I can't remember which one

 

that's a nice r100...

 

Word up, that R100 is tight! Do you remember what times he was running? That car can't weight much over 1600lbs.

 

Look at all those classics in the background !!

 

I'll find out...

 

Ok here we go, I just got of the phone with Rafael "Falito" Rivera legendary in the game. the R100 I have in the Picture use to run 6.9 7.0 in caguas 1/8 mile track back in 1978 to 1982 specs are 12A Peripheral port engine...

I went ahead and asked him, what is the fastest stock chassis 12A that he could remember, whether it was his, a customer of his. or any of the other legendary drag racing builders from the island.

He told me and I quote: customer of his, Pedro Quiles had an Orange 1200 Datto stock chassis 12A bridgeport. Traction bars, Rx4 gearbox and Mazda Rear. Best elapse time was 11.30.. Stock chassis Jay.. so here you have a better idea of 12A's on stock chassis..

 

Thank you very much Ito. I'll be after that time as soon as I scrape enough money to build my pport. This small bridge that I have now is about tapped out in power.

 

Hey little boy, your life on this forum will be short lived if you continue to start trouble.

 

^ I think he'll be ok now.... I had a long chat with him and he seems to be a cool kid.. I guess the hormones were acting up a bit

 

I think you and me can relate a bit eh?

 

he is a great kid no need to get all the panties here in a bounch , and at the track he has allready proven to be more than a kid, someone to really keep an eye out in the very near future

 

That's really neither here nor there..... It matters how you act as a whole. If he is such a great kid then how come he turns into such a punk bitch behind a keyboard? A gentle man acts as such, at all time. A profossional acts as such, at all times. And an adult acts as such, at all times. His maturity showes.....And that is NOT a good thing.

-J

 

what some of you dont know is how much hate this family goes thru @ the tracks , its not all fun and games out there for them no more its seems that everyone questions their acomplishments and doubts them , but hey he aint a humdred dollar bill for everyone to like him i will stick with what i said before , he is a good kid

 

Damn...
This picture gave me the chills and made me wish I was around in that time....
Look at all the bad *** cars...I may be young but from reading and messing around with old cars, they don't make em like they useto...lol especially the carollas!!!
I remember when I was like 5 hearing my causins braging about the uno punto ocho lol...cars now and days are too computerized...its good but It just doesn't catch my attention much.

 

Hey what about cano the original owner of ortiz I heard he built some bad *** cars, did he have any records, and have you guys heard of a car called el nene if I'm correct out here in fl?

 

LOL.......!!!!!!!!!!! Estube tan consentrado leyendo todo esto que he manejado 686 millas en mi camion de trabajo y ni me di cuenta..... Gracias !!!

Since I know you better than anyone in here I would have to say you were actually park reading the novela because if you were driving and reading with your natural tendency to wander you would have ended up in a ditch allready!
