I have a modded 1992 AWD turbo Laser. Twice two different parts suppliers sold me front rotors too large to fit w/ my calipers but my dust shields were oversized for my rotors. Just looked it up and seems till May 1992 the rotors were 255.6mm w/ single piston calipers and from June 1992 they...
Was everywhere. Friend doing HPDE, bro-in-law top 8 of US drift Saturday night and rallyrides and rallysprint. Camped @ Jefferson paddock. But when looking for you, only found your car.
Perhaps it'd help to describe the tracks you'd be competing on, how long the sessions are and what class you intend to run in w/ what the tire regulations are for the sanctioning body.
So you have non-ABS and you want to install ABS for testing? That'd be a PITA considering the wiring harness.I just trashed mine weeks ago. Twas in a 1992. Still have the computer in a closet somewhere though. Deleted it last fall prior to a Time Trial. No lockups. Good riddance to that...
I never ever no matter how many I bought, had AGXs or Gr2s last w/o blowing to want to use them ever again. Yes, they are cheap but so many times would not last a day of smooth rally or rallyx conditions. KYBs blow, literally.
Another car I codrive. Ex-Didier Auriol's factory WRC winning Lancia Delta Integrale HF.Like playing Sega rally in person.With Jeremy Deitzel's hillclimb Evo.With Rob Martai's rally EvoX.
You saying that 2G is sold? I was just going to post the the timing belt is back on and there is youtube video of it running after the head gasket was replaced recently.12/14 - 1996 Eagle Talon Rally Car - Finished Engine - YouTubeMore info here:1996 Eagle Talon Rally Car - Amazing...
I have a MD166263 1G ECU here in Alexandria I'd sell if your's is toast. may or may not work depending what your donor car was. May have another one w/ different code in storage.I've sent mine out to have them repaired before but I don't think the place I've used in still in business.
Read both your posts. Battery cables and ground is where I'd start.If not, Bilbo Automotive is very near WW Bridge in Alexandria. They can tow or slight chance do the diagnostic to fix where it is. They have done 6bolt swaps and have my DSM and spares that they can swap in parts for trouble...
Yeah, that is what I was saying and not too happy about.I'll keep the current setup to swap in if I do a rallyX. course opening or fast sweep to run my gravel rallytires on 15s.And get the larger brakes because I need them if I do another track day because stock brakes were not lasting...
I dunno. I put them on just before track days so tried to keep them low as possible. They don't adjust as low as you'd want because threads come out bottom towards axle. At lowest, they are still higher than stock.The DMS I also have is way more adjustable.
Ditched the skidplate and rallytires to do a time attack. Was jacked up on rally suspension but more fun purposely hitting the curbing thru the 'S's.Found that Mustang Cobra 17 inch wheels fit nicely.
Bilbo Automotive on Eisenhower Ave.Bilbo AutomotiveI may have a new-in-the-box performance clutch in the spares they have if it fits if you want it cheap.
Skidplate. 1/4 inch aluminum.That cap has been replaced. Lots has changed in the engine compartment since those pics.Yes, stock mudflaps.Michelin gravel rally tires for rally stuff.Don't know how much it weighs, maybe find out this weekend.300 WHP on 16G Evo3. You don't...
Or, skip NASA and run w/ a sanctioning body that issues time trial licenses without HPDE requirements.Funny how NASA rallysport allows drivers to drive AWD turbo monsters in remote forests without corner workers for 5-20 miles, without cushy tire walls or runoff areas; but with cliffs, jumps...
Time Attack is not a single car on the track.HPDE sound very boring. Its driving around cushy track in circles w/ babysitters at every corner. How hard can it be?
Just a APEXi Super AFC.So there is 1 purpose-built time trial DSM in the region that if dumped more $ into would have a chance of beating fast Corvettes.I'd rather spend a weekend racing with/against people I like (not stereo-typical gold chain Corvette posers) and more interesting cars...
We drift a import truck and have won smaller events against LS1-swapped Nissans.I plan to register for EMRA tonight. Need to mount tires and a tune (MachV probably).
I bypassed and deleted my ABS so yanked the unit and computer (MB686563).$30 each.My stock AWD suspension is in the junk pile for scrap man so if you need struts or springs, PM me quick.Also have a ECU MD166263 I'm not using $50.
Its true, in a straight line displacement wins. Sure, a very modified turbo import can be built faster, but anyone can slap a turbo or supercharge a larger displacement engine to beat that.Since you mentioned the Skyline, a Vette beat ours and everyone else at the last time trial I was at...
Its not just the suspension, build a toboggan-style skid plate.Use sheet plastic for the entire underbody to help slide and to keep the snow from packing into the center tunnel. I've had an iceberg wedgie in mine.Then there are the tires. Its the soft compound that gives you the traction...
Just an idea. I have 2 coworkers (professional gearheads) looking for cars to build Lemons racecars from. If you don't know the series, multiple racers share a $500 car (+safety equipment) in an endurance race. Its not a demo derby but many cars do not finish just because they were tired cars to...
Dang, all kinds of Chebbies entering the time trial I plan to do. 3 Vettes, a Camaro & a Caddie CTS-V and only 1 import entered so far.After event edit: Corvette set FTD
Possible you could have fried the ABS unit and/or the ABS computer. With the car running a minute or two, does the ABS warning light in the instrument cluster come on? That would be a clue. Also, check your fuses.
While boost is good, its not as good as the smooth power curve of displacement. Most all the pro-level drifters have swapped LS engines into their Nissans. Few DSMer are going to have anti-lag capability. Predictability is confidence.Traction hardly matters on dry track. Corvettes come w/...
Rally!Watch as stunned spectators rush to the aid of these drivers who are submerged upside down underwater.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hStcyDj830QJust kidding they check to see if their vids saved.
I race in Subies more than Mitsu. I like them. They fly better.
Its all the same, just different. I like cars and racing period. Run what you brung. Variety adds spice.Corvettes will crush on VIR. How about Shenandoah circuit at Summit? Wish the November EMRA event was there instead of on...
My plan is to run the EMRA time trial the following weekend because its a small group w/ seattime galore and it'll be my birthday weekend.EMRA - Eastern Motor Racing Assoc. announces EMRA'S FALL FINALE AT SUMMIT POINT Saturday, Nov 9 — Sunday, Nov 10, 2013 info at Summit Point - Main...
Maybe.I plan to enter my Laser in a time attack at Summit in November. Only 3 cars registered so far and 2 are Vettes. Come help if you can.Rain, .... rain is the great equalizer. [/Raindance]
No, that is a 2G doing rallyX.This is a 2G doing rally.There have been less than a handful of 2G rallycars in N America, ever. The rear suspension is terrible for rally.Building a car here to take to S America is pretty crazy. I'm not on the cage builder map but do an...
There is a huge difference between the hard lines between 1G and 2G because the ABS unit are in entirely different places. I began this mod today on a 1G w/ motor installed but w/o AC, emissions, battery relocated,.... and thought I'd remove all the hard lines intact for anyone who may want them...
