Swanny's typing in his sleep again. Obviously dreaming

I swore I saw the car today tucked away in the corner with dunce cap on it

Matt D. · 06-17-2006

I'll believe it when I see it.

**scheides** · 06-17-2006

Good work man! Good luck getting it finished up soon.

...And here I was hoping to walk all over that thing with my uberscooter. Now that it is going to move under its own power I'm going to have to re-think my strategy a bit...

Alright jokes over.
Went to the track tonight, only got in 3 runs, as I have a pressure issue in my coolant system, and no its not the heads lifting, already checked that.
14 gallons of gas, 92 octane

.
I didn't touch the aem other than to log, and I didn't touch the tires, just slapped in my side bars, and hooked-up my kill switch.
1st pass, I wasn't allowed to launch.
60' 2.292
330' 5.882 (to say it bogged hard is an understatment)
1/8 8.558
1/8mph 92.40mph
1000 10.796
1/4 12.624
1/4mph 125.01

2nd pass...launched
60' 1.779
GRIND I coudln't get into 2nd, so I aborted the run, went 14.98 @ 90.58mph.

3rd and last pass
60' 1.919 ( turned up the rear suspension, bad idea I guess)
330' 5.070
1/8 7.681
mph 94.97
1000 11.657
mph 127.08

That run I had to grind and wait for 2nd and 3rd gear took 75-100' to get in.
Clutch engagement issues FTL!
Now my 2nd gear syncro is shot, woohoo

. I guess I knew it was coming, 114k on a stock transmission.

Still, for the 1st time out to the track with this setup, I am not to dissapointed.
Now if I can get the gears to work, the coolant thing figured out, and the 60's down

.

A//// Guy · 06-19-2006

Are you kidding me? What happened, details please!!!!

AJ · 06-19-2006

Shifting from 4th to 2nd at WOT = the bad.

1slowdsm · 06-19-2006

Another engine problem already!? Thats not good.

AJ · 06-19-2006

I don't know wtf I'm talking about.

I don't think I will have everything sorted out for race gas then.
I need a t-case and driveshaft, and a new trans now

.
It might work, I'll be at rock, but probably on pump still, until I hit a 10.

**Goat Blower** · 06-22-2006

Nice runs for just coming off the trailer. That's a decent trap, especially for pump piss, I bet she'd scream with some real gas and boost.

Yeah, last time I set my rear Koni's to stiff, I fishtailed and almost hit the wall. The AWD's seem to like some rear weight transfer.
