I'm looking to have the car finished by the end of february and will be running the car at the 18th Annual DSM/EVO Shootout At Buschur racing also plan on putting the car on the Dyno. Wish me luck and any input will be helpful.

Well I'm definitely going now. I hope by then I can get at least a Fp Big28 so my car can at least be decent. By any chance do you guys know how much it is for a dyno pull and 1/4 mile run at the shootout?

It was 50 for the dyno which you got 3 pulls and it was 20 or 25 i think to run your car but only like 10 to get in if you were just watching. And another thing is SIM sponsored cars will get there way bought in to the dyno and race.

 

[streetdsmpwr]

Nice thanks for the info. I hope I can make it and see you there.

Let's keep the topic on the build of the car, guys. Any vendor reviews, complaints, and/or praises shouldn't be posted in the tech forums. Please keep those things limited to the vendor directory or Welcome to Vendors-Reviewed.

Also, Allen, it would be great if you could post about your build using the Blog feature and use this thread to advertise blog updates. For example, like Sean is doing: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/drag-strip/317907-project-9s-no-compromise-28.html

Thanks, guys.

I ws tying to use the blog feature but I could not connect this to the blog so i was loosing everything and all my comments.

If you know a was to link it all then ill switch it now. Thanks Paul

[TofastForU_99]

I will have more pics up this weekend and hopefully a VID of it running

 

[jjrock5]

Yea definitely liking the pink. I think it's because it's more of a neon color than anything.

 

[99gst_racer]

Interesting pictures. I didn't think you could remove any of the bubs with the axle still connected... I know I've tried it in the fronts and it doesn't work, but it looks like you guys make it happen on the rears. So does the outside axle cup pass through the spindle hole? If so, I assume you just removed the inside axle cut and pulled it all through the spindle? Let me know because if that's how it works, it's going to save me a hell of a lot of time and trouble messing with a torch.


Also, thanks for sharing the link for the Import Face Off event. I'm going to try to make it over there for that. Looks like my 2G would fit into the Forced Induction Sport class, so I just might have to bring it along. I'm curious though, why are your guys running in the Pro class, rather than the Sport class?

 

[Venom13132]

In for more pictures and progress. looks like a good build so far!

 

[viperlp01]

Ya paul you can get the whole hub and axle as one peice. I just dropped the upper wishbone from the body of the car and disconnected the lateral control arm if you would call it that and had me pulling the wishbone out and allen pulled the hub out from the back and slide it out to the side.. It wasn't too bad but it does take some strength to move the suspension out of the way.. Then his grandpa just broke the hub down and then popped the axle out that way.. Worked out well..

You can see in the first pic we left the two ball joints connected and just undid the solid control arm that runs to the front of the wheel well and that gives it the movement towards the rear.. So you pull the suspension back and out and then the axle and hub forward..
