I went to the track today to see what the eclipse could do. I built the car mostly for auto-x and road racing, but I was bored and wanted to see what she could do.

My first pass was slow

I went back up for a second try.

60' 1.849
330' 5.145
1/8 7.702
MPH 100.64
1000' 9.881
1/4 11.709
MPH 124.26
Here is a video from that pass

My third and final pass of the day made me pretty happy. The car definitely has a better 60ft time in it. I just cant get the grip on those old stock tires. Here is how the pass went down.

60' 1.814
330' 4.999
1/8 7.489
MPH 97.29
1000' 9.638
1/4 11.412
MPH 127.78

Here is the slip

Great times! From the look of your engine bay you have done your work! Clean and quality parts; not bad!

Any overheating issues? What radiator/fans setup do you have?
 
I used to have that turbo on my car, it was lots of fun.

29-31psi?
 
good job man

with that 127mph trap you should be in the 11.0-10.9 with a better 60".

Thanks man, I definitely think the car is capable of a 10 second pass :cool:

Good runs with those tires. The car seems to have a nice clean build. Good job!
Thanks man! I tried to build the car as clean as I could. It has some issues that need worked out for sure. The tires are a big issue ROFL I want to see that 9 second pass on your stock block!
