Kris - BS!!!! No dedication. Seems it was you two that de-tuned the clutch on Chris' car. The slave was installed wrong. Good thing he bought a new master cylinder and slave though. Just wait until you hear the new story about his car. Ask him about the hood today. Not good.
I dynoed Friday and the car ran like crap. Dynoed around 195 whp. I was up all night Saturday driving around to put miles on it. I put around 700 (200 highway) miles on it and got to the track and ran like crap. The open header was LOUD. Made 5 runs, ran a best of 14.1 and said screw it. Came home and looked at it last night. Compression test showed low numbers. No blow by, no oil burning. I looked at the cam gears and thought they were off. They were both retarded a tooth, so I fixed it and it runs great now! I'm going to the dyno Thursday. 200+ whp for sure. -------------------- |

QUOTE (kris @ Oct 20 2003, 03:47 PM) From the sound of it, a big congrats are in order to Nate Now what did the rest of the DSM's do? Marcus, Dan, Tommy? Personally I ran a best of 15.1 !!! Then again I was racing my dad's Supercharged Miata. That was incredibly fun even though the performance level wasn't where we expected it. The stock 1996 1.8 liter Miata is supposed to run the quater mile in 16.6 seconds roughly. My dad was able to drive it to a best of 15.4 at Vicary day and I was able to better that with a couple 15.3's as well as the 15.1, but I was beating the dog crap out of it to get there. For reference first gear was nearly unusable unless you let it bog out of the hole and then it's not living up to it's potential. With rear end breaking tires on the back I'm sure that we could shave 2-3 tenths off the ET, but that's not what this car is for. It's full weight plus ground effects and is a blast to drive around the twisties with the new found acceleration! That biotch ripped the tires off all the way through third gear at the track! That was the most fun 15 seconds I ever ran. Oh BTW my car came together about 9PM Saturday night and started up, only to reveal some strange grinding at start-up and then ...knock, knock, knock on the crank. She will be coming back apart AGAIN! -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

Holy smokes Marcus! You just haven't been having any luck lately, at least with that car. Did you figure out the problem from the last time yet? Let me know if I can be of any help! I want to see that thing drive into the parking lot for our meet on the 12th!!
Here's a thumbs up for luck!

Hey every one i get the dumbass award this month. I was driving my car yesterday and stoped at my buddys to get my stock front end. we had the hood open and we were trying to see how the front end matched up. Any way to make a long story short i put the hood down and was in a hurry and forgot to lock the hood pins next thing i know the hood comes open at 40mph and now its screwd. Im just not having very good luck lately.

I should have a spare stock hood you are welcome to borrow until you get things staightened out there if it helps. I'll poke around the garage for it if you want.
And Marcus- OUch! Hope things are minimal and easy to fix there. Rough day when you just got her back together and buttoned up. -------------------- |

QUOTE (ranta18 @ Oct 21 2003, 11:49 PM) The slave was installed wrong. Tate is the one that put that slave cylinder on FYI. And the only reason he did it is because de-Tuner Jr. didn't want to do it himself because "that thing is a biatch!". No dedication???? I'll dedicate the next honda beatdown I give to you Rantis. But good luck squeezing that monster 200 HP out of your big block honda because you'll need it and a big shot of juice to keep up. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food

According to this (http://www.clubdsm.com/tools/calchp.htm) it would take 207hp to get his car to 12.8, and that's if it weighs in at 2200 with him in it.
Granted, Species is, (to quote Mr. 'Do You Know Who I Am!' Netter) "the ultimate weight reduction", but I'm thinking his car weighs a little more than that with him in it. I can't remember exactly though, so I guessed at the weight. And for the record, my 12.8 was a shitball pass, and the mastah Tunist knows it, he was sitting in the passenger seat at the time. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food

You would think this would be obvious to anyone that has ever tuned a car and was there listening to your car pop and wease as it pulled that 12.8. I can understand the trash talking between friends, but seriously that thing shows potential with an engine running that bad and still pulling a 12! -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

LOL, yeah, I'm just giving Kris shit. I know he can hit 11's easily. I just wish he would have made it down to show up everyone. There is a fun day at Cordova this Sat and next Sat though. I think its like $15. I'm goin to try and make it this Sat, but if not ,the next for sure. The weather is the deciding factor.
The car weighs 2150 with my skinny ass in it. -------------------- |

Speaking of..... I'm absolutely dying to see some of the footage gathered at both the DSMCentral track day and the Vickary day. Any chance we'll be able to see this stuff on Saturday at the slopny inaugural bash? -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food
