Here's the vid of my [email protected] pass . It sucks I can barely here my car over the Honda .
Damkauai 12.891@ 109.69 4-7-12 - YouTube
Greetings my FWD brethren. I sent my spyder down the track this past weekend and was greatly disappointed. My butt dyno had told me that this was a low 14 sec car, but it was very wrong. This was my first drag strip pass in a vehicle. I'm used to cutting 1.4 60s and 10 flat passes on my little 600cc CBR, but this was an entirely different endeavor. Launching these peg legged, traction starved, chunky butt cars takes some skill and I tip my hats to you gents who do it well. My 60ft is so embarrassing that I won't even post it. My trap speed tells me that the car has some potential, but the driver needs some work. I had a hell of a time making the 1-2 shift. It feels like there is a wall there and I literally have to muscle it into gear. There is no grinding at all, only a stubborn and constant resistance that requires considerable force to overcome. Thoughts and encouragement are welcome. Thanks guys. I needed to vent and cry a little on the inside at the same time. Here it is.....

No sir. I still have a little bit more to do. Going through some pretty significant changes for power and more weight savings. Car should be ready by the event in May. Hoping the first or second week in May she is running and tuned! You going to be running?
Do you have info on the lugs you are using with the extended studs? I will be upgrading not too long from now!
Got the wheels on today. Tight fit and they stick out more than I was wanting, but all is good. Also, extended studs, small spacer, and shank lug nuts used.

ridiculousnesss all you need now is the matching skinnies
Man it feels good to get this accomplished. It's going to the chassis shop today and when it comes back I will be breaking in the motor and testing the sinister level 4 on a road in mexico
I did drive it about 2 miles yesterday and just cruising around town and barely making 5 lbs of boost the converter feels pretty good. I know tons of people want more feedback on the Sinister converters so I plan on logging several things after I get the car back.
Here's a startup video, the lifters are still trying to pump up

I did not see it in the link, but whats the weight of those wheels? Looks good.
Nice. Why did you have to use spacers though? Do they not make an offset that will work without them?
