Single digit Auto 1g street/strip build

[DetroitStroker]

When you ditched the power steering did you go to a manual rack or just looped the stock rack?

Or did you do the flying miata mod? Adding on to Detroitstroker's question

I did the flyin miata mod. https://www.flyinmiata.com/tech/depower.php

How does it feel Scott? I haven't wanted to ditch PS but the longer this build takes my mind is starting to change

Feels better than a rack with looped lines. It's no fairy tale though.

Painted the cage and got most of the interior in. Just need to mount the seats and some misc stuff.

Ended up just removing the headliner. It was ugly and sagging.

We gotta have that for fis and se I thought.

For SE @ the Shootout, you don't need any misc panels or rear seats if the cage bars are in the way.

For FIS:
INTERIOR
Doors must open and close from inside and outside the vehicle. No center drive configurations. All seats (front and back), door panels, dash, and carpet (front and back) must remain inside vehicle.

No one really cars about the headliner.

I'd check with Dave on the shoutout. I ca see him having a cow about it. I was the reason we can ditch the rear seats if we have a bar. It took a lot of bitching.

 

[b00stedtalon2]

Nice work. I'll come prepared with a glue stick and fabric

What did you use to undercoat the car?

65* in Michigan this weekend. Got the rest of it undercoated.

Motor will be here next week. Between two bad cranks and the machine shop being backed up it took a while.

What did you use to undercoat the car?

3M 03584 Professional Grade Rubberized Undercoating - 16 oz.

 

[TerminalTalon]

I will have to find some.

I wonder if the 40mm offset will touch stock struts with 245's.

Nice its coming along im running a manual rack o the new dsm build wonder how it will feel.

more than likely. My Atlanta would rub on +46 wheels

 

[TerminalTalon]

That's my issue right now like you. 225/55r16's are what I'm looking at and there aren't many options.

If all goes well, the car is going on the dyno tomorrow night then I am testing it at the track Saturday afternoon.

First up is IFO @ Hebron Ohio april 24th.

 

[b00stedtalon2]

Buttoned of the rest of the car last night. Dyno is this evening.

Found a completely dead full pump. Threw two new ones in to be safe.

Interior all together. Feels much nicer.

Car is also back on DOT tires for IFO and Shootout. These tires are the M&H G60 which are 26.2" tall vs the M&H 235/50/16 street strip tires that are only 25.4".

I am hoping the scales are on at the track so I can see what this thing weighs.

Hoping all went well this time???

 

[b00stedtalon2]

Everything went well. The car is performing flawless as usual.

Car made 611 on the dyno. Left it at 40psi.

Track also went pretty well aside from it being packed for opening day and only being able to make 1 real pass and the slow stall. I was only able to leave at about 5lbs of boost. We are tuning the stall this week so I can leave at 15-20 lbs.

Based on how it did with a 1.84 60', i'm going to guess the car is going to pick up at least 6mph and .8 in the ET with a 1.4x 60'. Last year, my car would trap at 132/133 with a 1.8 60'. Car is way up in power and it feels incredible. Next track visit will be IFO Hebron in 2 weeks.

Headed to the track after a much needed wash from sitting all winter

In the lanes

Crappy video I got from someone. I'm still pretty shocked how hard this thing pulls.

Drove the car to dinner after the track.

Back home and ready for some stall tuning with ecmlink master Kevin Jewer

Sick numbers I'm hoping to break 500 on a 369 on pump

 

[bastarddsm]

Looks like it moves out well! Get the launch figured out and maybe you'll have something for bruzewski! Are you going to IFO at Milan? I'm thinking about it since I'm going to miss Joliet.

Thanks man. That's the plan! I raced him in the finals last time at Milan IFO but he took me down.

I'll be at IFO Milan next month again for sure as I only live 45 minutes away.

Sounds pretty achievable. Good luck!
