If you bring it, I'll race it.


BTW, I figured out that I was already registered here under my normal username from a couple of years ago, so ignore the name change.

 

I didn't find it. What's he got?

Eh, I don't really care. I'll race him anyway.

I'd rather loose against a worthy car than beat up on a beater.



Oh, did you mean the one listed earlier in this thread? Sure, I'll race that. But isn't he trying to sell it?

 

Yes the one listed earlier. He originally was going to sell it, but with the plans he's got for the car, he think's he'll be better off keeping this engine and building around it. Its still for sale if he got what he wanted for it, but he's not dropping the price.

 

No one else wants some of the busted trans/stock L98?!!

Im lucky if i can make it through the staging lanes as is...lol.


You still have 600ft to catch me,..
after i kill ya out of the hole...

 

Don't be too sure...I wouldn't bet money on me............

 

We still need a few more small donations to cover the cost of the awards.

Come on people don't make me beg! This is what U guys wanted, so let's step up to the plate. Even with the genorisity of Kevin89formula we still are short.

When I drove this car everyday, I could shift it............

 

I shoulld have the new carb by then. I'm gonna call out Fbod AND his NOS bottle. WTF? Why not? Yeah, I know. If I lose, it'll be to a V-6.

 

If anyone has a tow-hitch, I'll race someone... The way my car is pissing me off, I'm not sure if I can even drive it to this one! Damnit, my car's missed the last 2 or 3 gatherings....the Suzuki has seen more Thirdgen Gatherings tha Kitt...that's sad

 

Think U-Haul?

 

Whats a guy got to do to get a race around here?

No one has stepped up an said that THEY will race me. It's all "my brother" or "some other guys wife".

Am I going to have to start giving people reasons for a REAL grudge?

 

You can kick my azz...............

 

You never know...it isn't very consistant.

But your one of the 3 who have seen/heard it. Who do you think should be racing me?

 

Anyone who wants to get beat. I haven't seen any cars in the club run an 8 sec. 1/8th. I should have the new carb by then, but I don't think it'll make me a second faster.Besides,

Ain't Skeered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

U never answered what kinda times U were running in an 1/8th.

We are SKIRRED!

I know there's a couple guys here on the board that are high 7's /low 8's in an 1/8th, but I can't remember who they are!

I know one guy who will run U if I can get him there to the strip. His name is Jeff. The cars name is "The Nozzinater" or something like that.

 

Hey, esc. I just ordered that air pan gizmo from Summitt. Maybe That and the new carb will get me to the low 8's.

 

You know about as much as I do. Like I said I havn't had this motor to the track yet, and I told you what it used to run. I may not even be as fast as it used to be. (But I don't think so.)

 

Cool! I think it will work well for you. Have you given much though to how you will set it up?

 

fine, lets run.

 

OK.
Finally someone stepped up. Let's see, that makes...um.... 1 race!

I guess I'll just have to accost who ever I can once the day arrives.

 

I'm gonna channel all of the air coming in the front directly to the air filter (try to follow the contour of the hood), and let the back opening vent the motor compartment. I guess my volunteering to let you kick my azz doesn't count? OK, Let's race. Now that makes 2.

 

Cool, another race!
(Sorry, I missed your point the first time. )

If I remember the shape of the bottom of your hood correctly this might work:

What if a piece of flat aluminum were attached to the bottom of the hood from just under the front opening, going back behind the carb, but not all the way back. (Leaving the rear vent exposed to the engine compartment ) That peice of aluminum would have a 90 degree bend on the back, going up, to box it in to the hood, and a hole above the carb. Then the Moroso air pan would seal up against the aluminum.

Basically the Aluminum would provide a flat surface for the Moroso pan to seal against, by boxing in the irregular surface of the hood..

I think it looks a lot better in my imagination than this description makes it sound. What do you think?

Of course this might be overkill if the pan fits right (or even close) by it's self.

 

If i get my rear end fixed where it's pulling with both tires, we still have some unfinished business!!! IF U wanna come get some that is!

GIT-R-DONE!!!

 

Craig,I don't think REAL ram air and the carb will knock 1 sec off my time, but the new carb will help tremendously. My 60-foot times suck because the carb is just not giving the motor enough gas on launch. When I drive it on the street, I've gotten a lean condition back-fire thru the carb upon acceleration. Because I'm replacing it, I'm really not interested ion trying to make the piece of junk I have work. It would be a waste of time.

esc, I'll have to see what it looks like, how wide it is, etc. I might be able to use it to send ALL of the air to the air filter. That raised part is not very wide.

 

Welp, unless something major changes and I come into some very GOOD luck between now and March 26, it doesn't look as if Kitt will be able to make good on any grudge matches.

 

What's up??????

Wish I could help, but..........sounds like you're on the right track. You got a month to figure it out!

 

When it did start was it only after you let off the start switch?

I saw something like that once when the starter wire wasn't hooked up to the injection.

 

I'm not sure what you mean here, but when it does start, now it only runs for a few seconds then dies. I'm fairly sure the starter's wired up correctly, but at this point I'm gonna have to check everything.

 

Ya, that sounds different. What I saw didn't fire the injectors during engine cranking, only after. It made it hard to start but once started it would run OK.

 

esc - If I can afford the SPEC clutch by the time of the Spring Fling, I'll run ya.

If I still dont have a clutch by then, I'll be there in my truck cheering you guys on!

 

Cool! That makes 3. I hope your car can make it. If not it will still be cool to meet you.
From your info in your signature your car looks pretty fast. What kind of times have you run?

 

yeah mike, what kind of times have you run?







and not times you're "supposed" to run

 

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

with a fried clutch and fouled plugs, the best recorded run at the track was loss against ZAP at Houston Motorsports Park

60 ft. 2.84
1/8th 9.01
MPH 82.07

All motor bugs have since been corrected, just waiting on a clutch.


Not too impressive times, I know...... but I ain't "SKEERED" ta run ya!


Anyone care to donate $475.00 ??

 

NOW...NOW...Be nice...I know Mikeees car is a lot faster than his times show it is!

If I get my rearend fixed (in my car that is), and Mikeee is up and running, I think it's time for a rematch!

 

I know all too well about unfufilled potential.

So what do you HOPE it will run?

Like I said earlier my best time so far (at Sealy) was:

8.0@90 with a 2.17 60ft (AutoX tires don't make for good launches)

A lot of things have changed since then but I suspect that the biggest change in my time will be the result of some ET-Streets.

 

''8.0@90 with a 2.17 60ft (AutoX tires don't make for good launches)''

Shoot, if you get some ET streets that will make a big difference. I ran like 8.6 best at Sealy with a 1.9 60'time on Nitto Drag radials. Im working on a few mods at present and will be ready to run for the spring fling. Should shave a few tenths of and be getting close to 13.0 for the 1/4. (watch out Texas Lt1)

I look forward to seeing your car there.

:

 

I'm looking forward to being there.
I've got 'em, and I'll be bringing them. It will probably be the first time I get to try them out.

I HOPE (and we all know how that goes) they will be worth about .3 seconds. I'm also HOPING the new motor will be worth a couple more. But I'm also hoping I don't break anything...

I was also HOPING to get a chance to use my G-Tech today, but it's WAY to wet outside.

 

Oh I'll be there, just glad we're running 1/8th. I could shift "in" to 4th gear, just wouldn't be able to shift "out" of it

 

Dont know yet i just got it home Friday night and guess what its been raining ever since we unloaded it.

But ill bet itll be safe to say in the low 9's in the 1/4, dont have a clue what itll do with full boost though. If we make it ill prob only get to make 1 run anyways no roll cage and this is a daily driver and roll cages are a pain in the ****.

 

I want to race you! Make sure you give me the chance to see who I can beat before you decide who you will race.

 

Sounds good to me, see ya there just listen for the f16 sounding car itll be me

 

https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=281581

 

ESC, I'll definitely take a piece

Hell, I'll even run StevenGTA for kicks... no offense to the other guys here, but I'll probably be the closest run (maybe not by much though)...which won't really be close, but...

 

I think a 1.8 sixty footer is very possible for my car. So, if you shave a whole second off of my last run of 2.84 sixty footer, well you do the math! It puts me at 8.0 or faster in the 1/8 th.

 

I ran 1.91 and 8.57 and then 1.91 and 8.61 respective 60' times and 1/8 mile times. 1.8 would get you to low 8s but I dont think below, maybe. Hell, it would be great to see you run a time like that at the next meet, silence all the critics, haha. Anyway, will your car be ready to race for the gathering?.

 

If I can afford a clutch by then, then yes it'll be ready. The car runs DAMN good, clutch is just slipping really bad.

 

If I don't get the rearend fixed by then (only pulling on the right side), and U don't get the clutch fixed by then--I'll run U as is--it ought to be a good match of the "wounded warriors"
