Finally a project FWD, tired of only seeing the AWD's with the 14B. 11.8 is one hell of a time for a FWD, espcially with the 14B, I wonder is it is possible with a 2G, would be intresting.

Good job on the car and the website.

94TSIAWD,
Do you think the springs helped with the 60'? I'm not getting that great of 60's and i'm still on stock suspension. One run my front tires were smoking off the line after my weight transfer. Think some eibach's might be my next mod. Thanks

[mavisky]

i'd guess the slicks helped more than anything

 

[CanadianTSi]

Looks like thye went from 1.7's to 1.6's by slamming the front with coilovers...

 

[fireredGST]

SORRY

:laugh:

I guess its safe to say that 1G's are MUCH MUCH easier to make faster, cheaper.

 

[Gooberlog]

I'm at about $5,000 including car, mods, and maintainence. I'm happy

Travis,

The springs made a huge improvement. We are able to go from 1.89s-2.00 consistently with one 1.80 and one 1.79 to consistent 1.73-1.75s with one 1.674! Thats a good improvement for a set of $39 coilovers from Ebay.

Thanks for the congrats from everyone!

..........very nice! 1.67 60' is killer....my best is 1.65...............and you have matched my best 1/8 at 7.67! Keep up the good work!!! Congrats on the new 14b record of 11.83!

That is one hell of a project going on there.....I'm gonna have to check in on this.....I'd love to hit at least high 11s by the end of the year myself.

 

[Gooberlog]

Yeah i wanna buy a set of prokit's and some GR2's when i get some money. I might try racing tomorow on pumpgas at about 18psi. never made a pumpgas run this year.

 

[94TSiAWD]

Thanks again everyone! We will keep chipping away at our ET. Since we don't want to shell out cash for a big turbo, we will probably run this one at least through the year.

On a side note, our biddies built an 89 colt with a completely stock 90 DSM drivetrain and have run 11.91 @ 112 with a 7.59 1/8th!

I can definetly vouch for how much a good suspension helps with good 60's. this is an old slip of mine from a 7.90 run in the 1/8th. I've been running 7.7's now. And if you saw my 12.1 quarter mile slip you saw my 60 foot on it was a 1.72. I blame that on my first run ever at that track and the damn burnout box was a swimming pool with no drive around. So That 12.1 will fall next time out, without a doubt!

But back on track, I run a super stiff autoX suspension setup, so not much momentum is lost, hence my low 1.6 60's.

Your car is a daily driver though. Nonetheless its an incredible accomplishment. Congrats.

I also read in a Ford magazine about a Foxbody 5.0 running 9's for under 5K including the car. Turbo power of course.

[hybridshooter]

out of curiosity, what type of coil-overs did you use on the car?

 

[jsigone]

i think it's the cheap ebay ones

 

[hybridshooter]

Thats pretty impressive, for those cheap coil overs to be that effective! I just might have to pick up a set. I primarily want to lower the front of my car anyways, so that might be just the ticket. Thanks

Awesome! Way to go with the Goodwill project. I met Ricky with the 1.6 in his 90 just a couple of months ago in Houston. I rebuilt him a tranny to get him home to Florida a few weeks back. He told me all about the Project Goodwill. I say keep knocking it out and good luck. I finally got my shop car to the track we are happy with the times so far but are looking for better ET's.

Tell Ricky I said whats up?
