Okay guys and girls, let's go! We got 5 weeks till this event, and we really need to start hyping it up! This East Coast Shootout is our all Mitsubishi pride and joy! We're getting our car ready for the Outlaw RWD class, which will have some exciting action from some low 8 and some high 7...
Um....you guys DO know that there's no such thing as an Eclipse/Talon/Laser (no matter what generation) in Australia....right??? That car was built and raced by Big Len (solid lifters/tensioners ring a bell??) in Florida before Jett bought it.
Well....I won't be setting any records in O/E.....I'm hoping to set some personal e.t. records while down there in that air and Haltech is on the scene with tuning help! I do think that there will be possibly 2 Imports that will run into the 6.30's, though......
It hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet, but Tony owns the I/Dragster record in NHRA Competition Eliminator. He grabbed the record last year and it has not really been challenged yet. There are a whole lot of us out here with 4G63 rwd's, it's just that none of us post on Tuners really. I...
Let me clear up a couple of things for you:Carl Brunet went 6.44 with the Ecotec, which is the World's Quickest 4 cylinder door car. That car is an ex-Mike Edwards Pro Stock car, which is full tube chassis.Brent went 6.83@202 before he stopped campaigning the car. He sold it to Tony...
The look on your face when you got that text message.....I wish I could dig my phone out of my firesuit (I was strapped in my car at the time) right at that moment! Congratulations.....you're going to be tough to beat in 2 weeks!!
I always wonder how may people here actually come to the Pan Americans. No awd, and most of them become disinterested. There are plenty of exciting 4G63's representing, so that alone should spark lots of interest. Fanny Racing, El Nazi, Boost Boyz Racing, Jerry Racing, The Doctor, El Terror, The...
Don't forget John Shepherd's best pass to date which occurred right here in Maryland at MIR in 2005. The 7.71@191 that STILL has the Mitsubishi world talking to this day.Also, don't forget my good friends out at English Racing (Jeff Bush) who currently holds the AWD automatic et record at...
I knew right after they kicked the rod out of the block at Orlando that Pepe Loco and company were switching that car to a 2JZ. It was "hardly" hush hush. Both Gabytech and myself are really involved in who does what in the rwd world, and we both pride ourselves in knowing pretty much everyone...
We race in 11.50 Index (which is exactly like the 11.50 Index class they have at Cecil) with our Wendy's Wings auto awd 1G drag car at OGS events at Englishtown. All it is is a complete stock rebuild with standard Big 16G, 272's, 880 injectors, Walbro, ECMLink, Metro Transmissions automatic, 10...
You guys always seem to do track rentals when there are major races going on! May 4-5 we'll be at Englishtown for the Sport Compact Spring Nationals....We would have come any other time.
Yes, Sandra (toubaby2) is still around. I'm sorry I didn't respond to this earlier, as I didn't see it until today. We are still campaigning Wendy's Wings, Sandra's tribute car to Wendy. I'm making a few changes to the car, so we hope she'll be able to click off some 11.50's on the Big 16G. I'm...
The gaskets aren't bad to use, that I know of. They make good gaskets, good lifters...and I used to think that their oil pumps would be a good "gamble"....but I was wrong.
We were in every qualifying session, with my last hope for a clean pass being against Don Roberto during Q4, where we ate up every clutch related part inside the bellhousing, and some stupid ass (me) left before the tree was activated. We had a fuel leak (loose AN fitting) in the video you took...
You guys are getting cranks cut? Phew.....a rule of thumb I've been taught is: if you gotta cut it, scrap it! Don't trust my words.....talk to English, Tony Niemczyk, anyone who's making big power. Obviously there are plenty of different ways of treating these motors!
Hey, you got our burnout at 13:54 in the video! Thank you! We got shut off because of a fuel leak on that pass, which is why El Humilde made the pass by himself.
I thought I would let you slide because you're not really from around here...but what GOOD have you heard about Jackson Auto Machine??? Every reference people give me, every block that's brought to me.....nothing but complaints. "Reasonably priced"? I'd do a few more comparisons, if I were you...
I've been hearing rumblings about this car for a little while now. Now that it's on here, I think it's a kick ass build and it makes sense. The driveline is WAY cheaper, and MUCH less of a weak link for the amount of power you make. Oh, and plus it'll be fun as hell to drive!:hellyeah:
Hello. Sorry I didn't see this post until just now! If you stopped by the trailer, I hope I got a chance to talk to you! I was very busy trying to figure out my clutch gremlins all weekend! We had a tough, tough weekend and we'll come out stronger with clutch problems resolved next season...
Its a couple of trailers down from us in the same row, tony.Its a couple of trailers down from us in the same row, tony. It has a huge piece of plywood right behind the side entrance door. There are pics of it on yellowbullet.com in the mir section.
Wow....if you're leaving then....then you'll only get to see eliminations on Sunday! But, you won't be disappointed with what you get to see down here! Stop by the Boost Boyz Racing trailer. We'll have at least 4-6 1G's surrounding us (and the 4G63 tube chassis Corolla).
We're going to try to go to Capitol next weekend to get a couple of quick test hits in before we head to MIR on Thursday morning. You could still run 11.50 Index and have some fun. We're backing Wendy's Wings down so she can be a hitter in 12.50 Index. When we tested 2 weeks ago, she went 12.40...
Roll Call:Toyotaturbo: Red Alert 4G63 Corolla will be fixed and testing at Cecil County Dragway on Friday. We will not make it to the Fall Nationals at E-Town this weekend.
toubaby2: Wendy's Wings all wheel drive auto Talon will be fixed and testing at Cecil County Dragway on Friday. We...
Yes, we're only WEEKS away from us beating up on those Mustangs and Camaros....Let's get a count of all the DSM's we hope can attend!! List who you are, and what class you're going to compete in. IF you don't bring your Mitsubishi, come on out and cheer the Imports on!..:: World Cup Finals...
Thanks, Adam! We are parked this weekend at least until IREV at Budd's Creek. We trashed my clutch discs on the 10 second pass (that's why it went 10's and not a low 9) and have to wait for new ones to be made for us. So....I'll try come out to root you guys on!! Her car is ready, but we're...
Thanks! Sandra and Wendy's Wings had a really good day at the office yesterday with their semi-final finish.....I was SO proud! We still have some tweaking to do to the Boost Boyz Racing/Modern Automotive Dynamics Corolla before it will do anything that will open anybody's eyes. Now....off to...
How about we get some of those DSM's off jackstands and come out to support Jason's event?? Jason Miller and MIR are by FAR some of Import Racing's biggest advocates. He genuinely cares and wants to see more of us out there! My Boost Boyz Racing/Modern Automotive Dynamics Toyota Corolla is...
We're trying to make it to Import Revolution. We just gotta get the Pan American Nationals out of the way this weekend coming up. See you guys down there!!
