Where are the FWDs at????

[Pipnorcali]

well.... i'm currently looking for an AWD chassis for a drag build but have only come across really clean FWD cars. You guys have me considering just grabbing a GST a little. Anyone run an AT FWD drag car? How's the FWD AT tranny?

Congrats on all the 10sec passes in a FWD car. It's really insane.

Read up on richard33 on here hes got a hot lil auto fwd 2g

 

[bigdnno98]

^^thanks. Will do

 

[Scoped_GST]

Checking in got a new setup jumped from a evoIII 16g to a 58.5mm GTX variant. 16g was at 30psi and it killed traction for 1st and 2nd. meth injection btw.

At 25psi the gtx was nice and linear. even 2nd was ok in a straight line. i'll let you know how 30psi on the gtx feels. logs. gets traction. and if the stock trans and longblock can handle it.

Hopefully the loss of traction will protect the trans from too much stress.

 

[richard33]

The auto FWD trans has the same internals as the AWD trans. They work very well. with a 5 speed my best time was 10.9@140. I swapped to auto same setup and went 10.2@141 with more to go.

What's up guys. Another fwd here. Hoping to be somewhere close to some of yalls times soon. any of you guys running a black?

Here's my FWD. Best ET so far 10.52 @ 134. In the process of reworking my fuel system and taking out even more weight. She sits a 1975 lbs. W/O driver and hoping to get her down another 50 lbs.

Gutting the whole interior tossing in a bucket seat , and removing the power steering and looping it ..

What up man!! I've got a couple more changes I'm doin on the 14b before I yank it off. Was suppose to go this up coming weekend for the winter warm up. We are stuck home caring for one of our animals. But I do have all sacs dates set and we will be over there a lot this year.

I am going to continue working on the car and take my first trips to a local dyno. I'm kinda excited to see what this lil turbo lays down.

How's your fwd treating you?

The 93-96 mirage 1.8 mounts like a 2G. I modified the rear crossmember to utilize the 1G style rear motor mount bracket and also modified the crossbrace to utilize the 1G style front motor mount bracket.

Sweet ride jeffrox

Thanks! .

Love dem Colts!

[shortydtp]

Ya I saw the thing about the car getting smashed. Sucks that happened. I'm really looking forward to this year and seeing all you guys at the track. You gonna need a full slick??

The 93-96 mirage 1.8 mounts like a 2G. I modified the rear crossmember to utilize the 1G style rear motor mount bracket and also modified the crossbrace to utilize the 1G style front motor mount bracket.

Good to know. So basically it bolts up to the trans.

 

[Pipnorcali]

Yea im gonna need a set of 15" one of these days..ill holla when I do

[Pipnorcali]

where did you get the FAL window for that price?

Nice Ive been waiting to see this thing in action! I love your build its so clean. You have no problem passing me up with your setup. Did you do any full pulls before you lost pressure?

 

[Pipnorcali]

Looking titties shortydp ...bummer about the clutch/tranny

Spent my turbo upgrade monies on a clutch n other lil stuff so i might toss a 75-100 shot on the t28 n see what it will do. Im on the lookout for cams next and a retune Maybe low 12's 11's i hope out of a stock looking gst.

Got the new act clutch in (old style one lost a spring) almost lost a few more springs
