I decide to start a build thread on for the next round of modifications to enable faster times. I'm new to this forum, so a little background on my car. I have a 1G blue AWD - 5 speed - Eagle Talon. Its a 2.3L motor car with a PTE 76mm billet GT42R. I would be running a PTE6766 if it was around when I purchased my 42R 7 years ago! I have been running the car on the street and down the track up to this point. In October with a cold track I ran a 9.8 @ 158.7mph, earlier in the year I ran a 9.40@ 156.6mph. When I made the 9.40 pass the car weighed in at 2870 with me in it and Im around 195lbs. I have been in the 9s on the same motor for around 3 years now. I self tune the car and I dont have dyno numbers.
Here are some pictures of where the car sits today:
This one is a couple years old
my fabrication on the fuel tank
Side mirror delete panels
With the regular mirrors, street wheels and drag radials.
I have a plan to get the car on a diet with my goal of running in the 8s next season. I just purchased a PPG dog box too, that may help! I have a big winter full of work planned. I'll fill everyone in as I go.
