^^^ T2 tranny so we can fit a T2 clutch.

 

I know size does matter but do you think that little difference in size makes that much performance difference?
but I guess with you and chuck blowing that thing it needs all the size it can get.

 

^^^ Donate the Vert.

DO IT.

 

how about a trade? You busted FD and your busted FC (yours because it is busted) for one immaculate, top notch T2ish vert.

 

(yours because it is busted)..........LOL

 

Dang cajun philly strikes again!!

 

SCORE!!! Picked up a set of Eibach springs and Tokico Struts on the cheap. They are used and all - but maybe help the Lemon handle a little better.

On the list to acquire:

1. margarita machine - Might not be able to buy this one out right, maybe someone will lend it to me if we take real good care of it???
2. gasoline leaf blowers (anyone in the Houston area have some for cheap?)
3. ACT pressure plate

 

We entered our 7 in a local cheap car race. Like lemons, but more types of racing, not endurance. Drag, oval, road race, and rallycross. It was a good time.

4 videos so far.

^^^ Soooo what did your lemon run in the quarter?

Oval track? Seriously? Boooooo!

FIGURE 8 TRACK! NOW WE'RE TALKIN!

 

I think an oval track would be bad ***.... imagine a nascar race where they are TRYING to wreck, lol.

 

Allen and I both got it to go 16.8 @80 at our altitude.

Did you see the oval video? Lapped traffic was funny as hell.

 

damn, I think our car got a 16.1, that was the work of 7dust though... i'm sure he'll say if I'm right on the 16.1, but thats with cold a/c cranking.

 

You can add at least .5 sec for the altitude. I ran a 16.8 on the brakes hard at the end cause I was way out in front. I think it could have run 16.6 on my last run w/out brakes.

 

16.1 with the a/c running!

Raced a car full of clowns (seriously. red noses and all). OWNED THEM!

Pretty much owned the clutch too.

 

Yeah, except you didn't find out till the next day that the winner is detemend by the fastest single run, not the total number of laps completed
children: this is why you should not drink and drive.

 

You guys are way fast!

25.7@50mph

Anyone got a running 12A? I'm really hesitant to sell the Lemons car... it'd make a good trackday car if we could just keep a motor in it.

 

Just reading through this, I know its a bit late but thanks Chuck. If it weren't for you we wouldn't have even made it. Car ran great for the test day and 1st race stint, but the motor lost the rear rotor sitting still... turned off during the driver change. Gotta make the best of it, blown motor or not. If I wasn't sick all weekend I would have had a beer or two or twelve with you guys.

I think we're the only team to ever go out on slicks!

 

^^^ Why limit yourself to 12A?

There are more plentiful 13B's around.

 

There is always Lemons at MSR in October...

We are hoping to get picked to race and par-tay!

Think you can resurrect the car in time? We are doing some super secret mods to our sled. *I* say drop your Lemon off at C2 Racing. At SOME point, Chucks mom will get pissed with it sitting in the yard and he will HAVE to fix your car!

 

We're done entering the car in Lemons (no more rotary engines!). Two buddies from our original Houston team have until Saturday to get it out our shop... then we get to decide if we're keeping it or parting it out.

My buds want to take it back to Houston but I doubt they'll come get the car. I definately want to come down for the race though.

How involved is a big block swap... I mean 13B? Probably easier to just buy 13B car huh?

 

^^^ Make a deal for the car??? I know if we had the trailer space last time.... we probably would already have it here. It would look great next to the lemon in my yard now.

Anyhoo - Chuck is the one to tell you for sure, but I think its not that difficult to go 13B. I know the front covers have to be swapped so you can mount the engine... but thats really as far as I know with 1st gens. Its been years since I had one and it was a 13B GSL-SE!

 

GSL-SE Front Cover and Oil Pan, and Motor Mount = DONE

 

Vroom Vroom.

 

Let me know what you'd pay for it. We have the original motor w/ blown front seals, 2 trans, brand new Hawk blue pads, rotors, rear drums, shoes and cylinders are one race old. Too much to list...

If we could carb the 13B easily... I'd be tempted.

 

^^^ cage and seat and stuff still in it?
