lol.....didn't even know you posted this eric! nice, nobody is suppose to know i actually drive the car. come on now it's just for show.



eric your right about the times....best 60 i got out of the 18's was a 1.6 i believe. don't have the slip in front of me. that was with the old engine though which little did i know was very messed up. hope to get some new times as well as dyno sheets just for fun very soon! anyone with 18's must invest in some dr's if you plan on going to the track that's for sure.

as far as the paint.....come on eric you ought to know me better then that, if you look closely in this pic you'll see my secret to keeping the paint nice. otherwise i definately wouldn't have any paint left on the rear pannels that's for sure.

if you paint it right you can't even notice it like in this picture. most of it was covered in rubber anyhow and it really protected the paint.

:d

There called "burnout buddies" and there like magnets sheets that you put on the back of the car by the rear tires to protect the paint. I remember seeing them now.

lol....basically the same thing. i took a huge refridgerator type magnet setup and cut to fit. they work perfect and it protects from the rocks. rubber isn't so much of a problem as the rocks that you pick up going through staging and elsewhere which is why the thicker material is a really good idea if you care about your paint.

on that 60 not very good....having bad timing setups so i believe it was around 13.1-13.2 area. as it was said the best i ran was a few low 12 sessions with the normal being 12.8-.9

i was having major issues with the car not shifting as it would stay bouncing off the rev which wasn't good as well as the motor itself was just falling apart. hopefully it's all fixed now.

no they weren't.....the car was running bad enough as it was thanks to tpis i was affraid to spray it. well that and i didn't have the nitrous hooked up anyhow. wishing i would have just put the spray to it in a last shot blaze of glory had i known the engine was already shot anyhow.



as far as the show thing.......yeah i show it but i drive it more then anything. i just take good care of it.
