rich when we gonna go for some pulls?b

 

Maybe this coming saturday Wan. I plan to turn up the boost to 17 psi

 

Thanks for all the advice you gave me on the 500R kit and the exhaust system Nic, you definitely deserve some kudos for steering me in the right direction

 

looks & sounds good man. makes me miss my car.....and big open american roads....

 

Don't mention it Rich. I'm just glad to hear you like the setup!

 

You can bite me it's not the amount that we're getting it's the fact that it's so sporatic. Sunny one minute, blowing wind the next.

 

call me...damn I can't raise boost yet....lol

 

Looks and sounds great Rich, great job.

 

i still think you should of gone with something other than the racingbeat exhaust. but its still the quitest. rich you use street tires or drag radials?

 

Who told you it was a racing beat exhaust

As I've posted about 75 times on this forum, it's a custom 4 inch setup with dual Magnaflow mufflers, one in the center and one in the rear. It's *plenty* loud enough for me. Hell, in the video in post #1, at the very end you can hear my car idling from that huge distance. It is extremely free flowing, and before I installed the exhaust I was able to stick my arm into each component (downpipe/midpipe/catback) up to my shoulder!

This vid should help out:

BFG G-force KD street tires, 275/40zr17 out back.

 

For those that have only watched the vid in the original post, there are two more vids in posts #25 and #26

 

Sure your neighbors love you. haha

 

I notice you didn't bother posting your best track time after asking about mine. So let's hear it.

 

I didn't bother posting because it was apparent to me that neither one of us has been to the track in quite some time.

My best was pretty similar to yours actually. 12.7 at 114, stock seq twins at 15 psi, all the bolt ons. This was back in like 2001.

 

Wow! I love the footage! You need night vision camera....I have one....you can borrow.

 

My best was similar to yours actually. 13.1 at 113, stock seq twins at 16 psi, all the bolts off. This was back in like 1989.

 

???

 

wtf? sntp?

and rich the car is a match for the quintessential FD; sexy as hell and a monster underneath.

 

You never said current times. So you had your car running BnR's and you didn't run it? Are you planing on running this turbo?

 

I never ran the BNRs on high boost. Ran it once in the summertime in 100 degree weather at 11 psi.

I enjoy road racing my FD, and driving it hard on the street. Drag racing isn't a top priority for me. Anything else you'd like to know Dave? I'm here to answer your questions

 

ya, mine was a 14.0 at 132 and a red light, bone stock, no bolts whatsoever. This was back in like 1973.

 

make sure and let me know when this happens...

 

This in-car vid finally has sound:

Once I get up to a higher speed there's a lot of wind noise, next time I'll do it with the windows up
