That's badass. About as practical as socks for your hands, but badass. Running 12's NA is Honda territory, so I applaud. Hell I had to shove 20 lbs through my last Subaru to get in the 12's.
 
Trying to go back an find pictures from the build - it's a hassle. I've said this before, if it was as easy to post pictures here as it was FB, there would probably be more action.

Nothing exciting here. This was the first block I've honed. Had to narrow up the rods a bit to work with the pistons. And then the cleaned up pretty block with fresh paint and new freeze plugs. It's an eagle 100mm crank in it with arp studs, no girdle. 86.5 bore, lots of dome.

Hear is the header. I'm gonna go back and see if I can find more pictures of the flange. It's really really nice, not a crap transition flange like most have. Those suck. This takes about 2" to go from port to 1.875" OD. It's a stepped header, with big tubes and a big collector. Very close to equal length. I need to try a smaller merge on it at some point.

At this point I had the car running/driving on stock harness and a chipped eprom ecu. Car went 13.6@106 on it's only pass as a FWD. That was on my tar/chip road and it spun in 3rd a lot, and I lifted early. This was through a 1g turbo maf, and on M1.

I pulled all the stock harness out and started over. Still uses the factory fuse box under the hood. Minimal harness. Head/tail, and engine stuff, that's it. I had to make a fuel cell. This holds about 3.5qt, where the windshield washer was. Wallbro255hp, and a small screen in the pickup. Right now it's at 80%idc on 850cc injectors and M1 and seems mint. Probably gonna step it up to a 350 and more injector when I get a head done.

This is the second AWD swap I've done. This one is LIGHT. It's a mightymax rear end with custom housing ends I designed for a light weight brake kit. Uses SN95 mustang axles. Torque arm suspension design, and it bolts in to all factory locations. No holes drilled. Just have to make the trunk floor flat is all. Could possibly bash it in for clearance - it's close to fitting. I think there is a picture of my steering rack. I cut all the extra ports off and welded it all shut. I like it, need to do another for my other car someday. Note the ends of the torque arm capped off with a quarter - that's good luck, be sure to put it on right side up. Welds really nice. Also made my own driveshaft too. Will be doing some more testing and trying to get some yokes made - so we can get away from the crappy mitsu situation there. Probably have to watch on FB on that one since the nazi's will come out here if I mention it.

At this point I basically had it finished up enough to head to the shootout. It doesn't really fit in a class and I'm not an index/bracket racer, so we entered ST32, and in the first qualifier which was the very first pass on it AWD it went 12.35@109. The air ended up being bad all weekend and I never got a better pass out of it after trying a few different things.

After the shootout I swapped the open rear diff for a spool and went back to the track. 12.15 off the trailer and second pass it went 11.99@111 after fixing a couple tune issues. I'll see if I can get video posted. Heading to import face off this weekend for All Motor Pro to see how that goes. After that time for more dyno testing and get the motor out and apart for inspection and more testing/ideas. Hope to get a ported head on it this winter with real cams and work on getting this thing down into the single digits.
 
I started on it 8/8 I think. I took a couple weekend vacations, went back to work full time, helped raise 2 little girls, managed a pumpkin patch, and did customer work. made it to the shootout friday just after lunch. Not too bad imo.
 
Went to Import Face Off this weekend at Byron Dragway to contest the All Motor Pro class. Ended up #1 qualifier, and won the class. Got a new best of [email protected] new best 60' of a 1.52! 1.4s are just around the corner. And I was also informed the car had front tires off the ground. Wild. It was very violent pass for sure. I was hoping to see it go a bit quicker, but I think the wide ratio trans and too much clutch is holding it back. Going to try and do dirt drags next weekend, but it's looking like rain all week.

Went 11.59 at 115 in August. Tried a new very experimental setup after that and hurt an engine. The new setup uses 8000cc injectors and was at 40% IDC....... Yes that is 8000CC X4 and is not a typo. 32000CC/min total fuel flow potential.

Swapped the 15:1 2.3 back in on monday before the shootout. Ended up with water in my m5 can at the shootout and had to spitball a m1/10% tune saturday night, after it went 12.60 in Q2!. Never did get to run it out running 11.50 index. In the quarter finals I ran an 11.76@108 on a 1.65 60' Car spun bad and I lifted early, but I think it would have been close to a new best had I not lifted.

A friend did get a picture of the front tire off the ground. Pretty wild for a 200hp car. Going to try and get the ported head off the turbo car on it, a bit more weight out, and take it back out when the DA gets good in October. I think it's getting close to going 10's on M5.

I know you’re not exactly a fan of me but I will say, I’ve loved watching the progress on this. I feel this is going to only become more impressive as time goes on keep on keepin on.
Meh, not really not a fan. Just not a fan of welding front diffs ect..
 
Took the car out to a back of the track no-prep this weekend. As usual show up to a gun fight with a butter knife and still ended up in the finals against a nitrous coyote. This was with the n/a 2.3 and methanol again. Oh it's got a ported head on it now too. It picked up a bunch of power, over the last dyno session. Hoping to get out one more time when the air gets good and get some better numbers yet.

Hoping to get the nitro setup back in it over the winter and more weight out of it.

 
Went to the track this weekend looking for a number in the good air. Hopped it would have ran better, but methanol isn't as affected by bad air. Anyway it went 3 11.4 at 117, and 3 1.4 60's as well.

It went 11.8 at 114 on winter blend pump E85 as well.

Car needs a fresh shortblock and some more weight out at this point. The all motor honda's are 600+lbs lighter than this car.
 
Wife bought me an old school BJ's sheet metal intake for my birthday so I played with that on the dyno. It did exactly what I expected - made the exact same power as the shitbox steel dejon tool intake. It's now making just about 300hp on a dynojet on winter E85. I'll try and share a dyno sheet when I get a chance. The shortblock is really tired now. I think with a fresh shortblock and a few tricks there it'll run 10's on straight methanol and the current head/cam combo.

Currently working on a new nitro motor and getting some cams made. Trying to get something in the 0.650" lift region to take advantage of the porting I figured out.
