For those that don't have Facebook...Jeff finally eclipsed (no pun intended) Shep's 7.70 1/4mi record to become the new quickest AWD DSM. 185mph from the auto is insane!
Hello everyone! Many have met me at the Shootout and other events. Normally I'm with the English Racing crew helping out Lucas English and Jeff Bush. I've been around the DSM community for about 11 years now. I've had a '98 RS, '95 TSi AWD, '94 GSX, and finally my current '90 GSX. It's been...
So, as many of you know, we had the East Coast Shootout 2014 at Cecil County Dragway here in Maryland back on June 8th. It was a weekend full of promise. It unfortunately took and turn for the worst after my 3rd pass. I ended up going into the wall after a massive headgasket failure.I had been...
I hate that I've been in the DSM game for 10 years and still have to ask these types of questions because I can't solve them but here goes:As most of you know I blew up my converter at the Shootout and only last week got the car back together. During that time I pulled the dash back out and...
I want to make this clear now, this is NOT another thread about relocating the engine fuse box or removing extra plugs on the engine wiring harness. There are plenty of those threads but very few, if any, threads about the chassis harnesses.So, my car has always been a bit of an electrical...
English Racing got the car back out to the track with the new crankcase vent system and 3" aluminum exhaust. Still at 26psi. Nailed a 1.49 60' and the car finally went the 9 second pass! Gained another 2 MPH as well! Car is ready for the Shootout in a couple weeks! Bring on the DSE class...
So the Pan American Nationals are coming up this weekend at Atco Raceway in New Jersey. I have been to this event the last 2 years and it is by far one of the best drag racing events I have ever witnessed and it happens to be 4 & 6 cylinder and rotary motors only. The only other event that's...
English Racing finished up my car this week and was able to get the car out to the dragstrip tonight. I'm in Maryland and the car is still in Washington so Lucas English was driving it. Ended up finishing the night with a 10.19@134 with a 1.58 60' at only 26psi! That's a tenth quicker than my...
So I know that this isn't DSM related but anyone that loves drag racing can appreciate this achievement! Local Tacoma, WA Honda shop Speedfactory went out to Englishtown this last weekend and reset their own Outlaw FWD E.T. and MPH record with an insane 8.13@188mph! These guys have been...
As many of you know, I always make a trip thread documenting the trip and results from the English Racing crew! This year is no different! I will be posting updates and pictures throughout our trip. This year we are bringing Jeff Bush's 1G auto drag car and the HTA68 "little auto" 1G AWD.For...

The 2011 SPR Import Shootout is coming July 23rd to Renegade Raceway just outside of Yakima! This event was started to continue to help promote the import drag racing scene in the Pacific Northwest! For those that don't know, Renegade Raceway has always been very biased to domestics and last...

So it finally happened...My motor just took a major shit. Hopping on the freeway tonight, my motor started making a crazy knocking noise, so loud I could hear it over my exhaust. I tried and successfully made it home and by the time I got there, the knocking was echoing off the houses...
So I broke something at the track last Saturday. The car was running great all day long. The car ran a best to date 12.2@114 and 12.2@117 (thanks to Brummellz). I was ecstatic! Then on my last run, during the 3-4 shift, the car started shuttering really bad. The motor was missing really badly...

Well, my 14b took a dive at the track 2 weeks ago. It has a lot of in/out shaftplay and abnormal left/right shaftplay, plus it was making a bad whining sound as well. I just got into taking it apart today and this is where I'm at so far. This is my first turbo swap and I'm learning a lot doing...

Well I just replaced my 98 Eclipse RS with a 95 Talon TSi AWD. The car has 66,xxx miles on it, dealer I bought it from said the thing had a blown turbo. So I found a 14b and was going to replace it... Turbo isn't blown at all...When I start driving, everything is fine, tranny shifts smooth...
