new thread on track rentals

I am pulling a Jesse, I didnt get a chance to wash the Lightning since the track so I didnt make cars n coffee! lol

 

[TonyN]

Sooooo, I was looking through the 1/4 mile chart in the drag section and it looks like 100 mph in the 1/8th can possibly get me in the 10's in the 1/4th. If I can get my ET's down of course. With a little more time on the slicks, lower tire pressure, the 1 pc. DS and MGW going in, it shouldn't be a problem.

So I guess my goal is to get booted off VMP's track for not having a cage this year...lol.

Tell me about it. Let me borrow yours... mauahaha.

Along with the d/s.

Drive shaft and loop are on the way

 

[Greg Hazlett]

Uhhhhh....huh?????? Do tell!

 

[TonyN]

I just went with a shaftmaster 3.5" since I am lowered quite a bit and will be running the MGW. 4" d/s are known for interfering with the MGW and hitting the fuel tank and lowered cars.

I had zero issues with the mgw and the 4" ds lowered on on frpp k springs.
Had a good inch of gap from the shifter linkage to the ds. I think the ones with issues were those slammed and that dont adjust the pa.

True that, but I did something I am not so proud of...lol. When I put the blower on I noticed the front sat a bit lower due to the added weight. It had more of a rake. So I........... sigh............. cut my rear springs to even it out a little bit (Eibach Pro Kit). I cut about a link off. In all honesty it gave me another 1/4th inch drop in the rear and didn't really change anything else. But I didn't have a warm fuzzy feeling doing it...haha.

That being said, I cut down my bump stops as well and there have been a few times where my stock DS has hit the gas tank already. I do have an adj. upper so I think I will be fine. I just wanted to play it safe so I got the 3.5". In fact, I don't think it has hit since I put the UCA in.



How many turns out did you run the MGW?

Gotcha I had it like 5-6 turns.

 

[TonyN]

Yes it's the direct bolt in.

Greg, you weren't calling it rice when we was trapping similar mph. With my stock motor and all... muahahaha.

 

[Greg Hazlett]

But I didn't cut my springs so there!.... Mr "I run my car at the track the same as I would on the street"...yeah...about that....

 

[TonyN]

Only thing that wasn't streetable was the slicks and pretty pointless to go to the track and run on street tires with F/I if you ask me. Haha

My full interior, sway bar, battery and ect. where all still intact.

Did you "grind down those calipers yet Mr.?"

 

[Greg Hazlett]

LOL...I did for an hour and a half and quit after no progress.

Bought the Racestars from JP and they arrived today...need to get the tires swapped over and sell the Greg Welds.

 

[TonyN]

Aww man that sucks. Well how are you gonna sell them if they don't fit? Maybe look up the pasrt numbers? Maybe for a different vehicle? I bet they fit on sn95s since there brakes are much smaller.

 

[Greg Hazlett]

Looks like the fit the 94-04's and maybe the 5 lug fox bodies....since Mike worked with Greg Weld he said they should fit those car...sigh...have them for sale on here, the Corral, Tidewater Racing and Craigslist.
