Yup, that was the best 60' of the day. Others were 1.9, 2.0, and.... 2.8

In some Honda owner's driveway (joking . . . sort of)Where are the FWDs at????
Obviously from the wheels I posted I don't want to spend over $800 on just two wheels that I may use a total of 5 times in one year if that. If I didn't have 15's I would just use stock GST wheels.
It seems low offset 15in wheels are hard to come by. Unless they're made to fit a Jeep Cherokee or something. Then the offset is too low.
Other then the usual specific drag wheels like the welds, all I seem to be finding are wheels in Honda offsets in that size.
Just went 10.8@140-first time out, tuned at the track- drove it there and back! SUPER simple set up-
100% stock trans/Open diff
bone stock head
A pile of parts I had laying around
one 255, 780cc injectors Maxed out.
5 passes worth of tuning-30psi (out of fuel)
On dry rotted slicks!

And to show the importance of a LSD in a FWD car-watch this!! LISTEN, and look at the pass. side tire.
JP's Colt/Mirage - YouTube
It has the street tires on the front-so that would prob be when the boost controller was still not working. I'd guess13-12.xx @around 130mph. Most runs on the street tires were aborted or just boost check runs since my controller set up was fubar'd
And interesting that its spinning the LEFT tire only-you can hear it spinning the dogs off in 1 and 2, but clearly see the right tire not moving!!!! I guess I never realized how bad it was-I would have assume both tires would at least be trying to do something....
So Miguel BIG thanks for posting that! Learn something every day.
Thats a nice MPH. What RPM are you going through the traps at?
On a 6262, right?
I like your setup other than the fuel pump/filter. The downside of your setup is the distance between the tank and the pump along with the height of the pump in relation to the pickup point on your fuel cell. Unless you have a check valve inline, then the pump will be starved of fuel for a split second every time you prime the system...thus probably causing premature failure. If possible, I would look into relocating the pump lower in the engine bay and/or closer to the fuel cell sump! Just my .02 from setups I have seen. Otherwise setup looks sick...and beastly!
Keep it going! Can't wait to see what she'll pull with more than just those baby injectors and some tires with some life in them.
Your only 3 tenths off you last colt ET and ~8-9mph already!
.
Colt - v band manifold is the way to go! Very nice manifold. I had one very similar on my Evo 9 with a BB 6262! The v band spooled 200 rpm faster than a T3 manifold with the only other difference being compression ratio on the car it was compared to...and my compression was slightly lower!!!
I know-and yours looks good as well! I was surprised considering the first pass of the day was a 13.7@115! Thanks Halman!
By far the nicest part on the car-I got it for less than what you'd get a China Manifold and a Used 6262. When people are desperate for money, they always know who to call for a low-ball!
Wheel screws? I probably sound dumb but im drawing a blank.
Yup. You install the screws into the rim and into the bead of the tire to prevent the tires from spinning on the wheel.
Jp those timeslips make me jealous. I had about 5mph on you at the 1/8 but could never get a full pass due to a bogus 4th gear. Good chance I couldve hit the 145mph mark on a clean 1-4th gear pass. That was also on a PTE6262. Might have to give it another shot when im done with the 14B.
Nice. What tire? With what it went on a stock trans/open diff/22 inch slick-there is a good .5 ET and a few MPH with just a tire change and a Phantom grip!
like'n the 6262.
