Some of you have seen me mention in posts of my JYD car (JYD 2.0) I finally got video of this thing. Also a search of JYD will show you some of my posts about it. I finally got the video of this thing (ive talked to some of you about it) here is the MOVIE!!

 

nice launch:hail: :lala: :hail:

 

I was crying like a little bitch because the MPH was off about 2 or 3 and the ET by a tenth. at the end of the day one of the guys kicked my front tire and he said "its flat dude..." both of them only had about 8 psi in them. A long storage and my stupidity had cost me a wasted day of tuning. The irony is that I probably fiddled with the rear tires pressure about 10 times that day and never thought once about putting the gauge on the fronts.

 

Hell, it looked like you were damn near driving the back wheels throught the tires. What kind of 60' was that run?

 

nice tom but which one was that

 

ACk turn the brightness down. LOL

 

The brightness I know, at least one friend had the presence of mind to record atleast one of my runs even if there is a brightness prob. Kingtalon, that is my old 85, it started life as a zero option 2.8/T5 car. I bought it non running for $400. I knew full well what I was going to do with it but I got it running and shortly after swapped in my moser 9" with 4.10's (I blew those to smithereens one day too) and Herb Adams solid control arms and panhard both with hiem joints. We pulled off the front sway bar and installed subframes while it was still a 6 cyl. It was so much fun to try to blow that 2.8 it launched just as hard with the V6 (almost lifting the tires) then it got the 355 and a T-56 from a 94 bird. The 355 was a ruined circle track motor that I got second hand. the guy that had it before me tried to install .040 rings by filing them down and they crumbled in the bores destroying the pistons. I was broke at the time so I took the high spots out of the bores with a ball hone, and hand massaged the mushroomed ring gaps down. It actually worked into some kind of ring seal but it was never great. It was a 4 bolt, cast crank, stock rods w/ARP (except one rod), TRW forged piston motor. It had a hyd flat cam that should have been in a circle track car (236’ @ .050”, 286’ Adv (.001”), .490” lift [.523" w/1.6's], and 106‘ LSA). It had Dart S/R heads w/2.02-1.6's. I had moved it from car to car for a few years. We called that motor "Timex" it would never quit. I lost my 3-4 band and had no trailer once when it was in the old 82. I drove home at around 6800 rpm. That night I disassembled it for inspection and started this 85 project. This 85 only weighed 2880 lbs on the scale (checked on 2 scales same hour), add me and it was an even 3000 #'s. The funny part is the car hooked just as good on the street as the track. On the dyno just before I sold it it made 435hp. The Force EFI hardware was controlled by a modified old analog projection TBI box (see this exact post about the "box") I sold it to a friend for $7500. He was at my house for the build-up so he knew the whole car well. It is the only car I really miss. He has really lost interest in the car so I may get it back some day.

 

only a 1.6 it usually was in the 1.5 range. I always thought Bandemere was 5500' altitude I just called them and they confirmed it is 5800'. Using NHRA's conversion chart that would be a 11.16@121.66 (from a 12.036@112.93) and my bests were in the 11.90's @ 117 'ish MPH works out to 10.20' @ 126 'ish (holy crap) I feel the same about that conversion chart as I feel about Desktop dyno and G-tech meters though. I know it to be about under a second difference from experience though. I cant wait to get the 91 done because I have the full boat of suspension goodies there.

 

hum... someone want to tell me why I don't see a picture, just sound?

 

make sure you have the newest version of windows media player, its version 9.

 

yea... I had that thought, so I downloaded the latest update and now I've got a picture (well, sorta, it isn't moving, it just skips from frame to frame about 10s appart) and no sound...

Grrrr

 

here are some newer pics:

 

In a perfect world people would stick to the fairly standardized codecs and be done with it, preventing these hassles that it works well on one machine and not on others. For the most part the newer codecs don’t provide a substantial increase in quality or compression (well, with the exception of DivX, but it doesn’t seem that many people use that) over the fairly standard setups like standard DV style mpeg4 or some of the others that have been around for years (like Indeo video, I’ve found that this gives by far the best compression/quality of any of the fairly standard codecs).

Weird, Monty’s stuff worked great for me but his server wouldn’t work at all, kept timing out and screwing up the download… I had to get a friend of mine with a much faster internet connection to grab them for me and put them up on his server, and he was still complaining that it took him 3 or 4 tries to get them.

 

ouch my eyes... holy crap im blind...

i saw a blurr thing sit there for like half the movie, then it like took off real quick and was blurring its way down a track.

nice blurr Tom! thing really moves(ed),

say when you get new videos of your blurrs, your going to make them less blurry right? everyone i think we all need to chip in and buy tom a DV camera... monty too for that matter! I cant live without getting some really high res (4-5 GB) videos of these guys cars...

 

Say how do double posts occur anyways?

 

ansew rowser error after a server access problem resulting in a delay I almost just did it myself just now. As far as the blur I have a solution (kinda) for that now I can make blurs in an original digital format. see my site (in sig) for blur pictures and stay tuned for future blur videos...

 

look at that! it only took me two years but I fixed that ugly video.

same link, just better quality video.

HERE

if you have problems viewing this video then that is bad, because it is a simple codec movie (".WMV" format)

if you have alot of movies you would like to be able to view and you simply dont have the codecs then install this:

or any of the other defiler packs that others are sure to recommend when they read this post will work.

 

Hey I remember that car. One night in 2000 or 2001 I was in "Old Town" and I saw the car, looking plain as night. Then I noticed the 'bald' tires on the rear and smiled. I pointed to my friend and he was like "What! Oh!"
Anyway, I'm not sure if it was you we talked to, but we were impressed. Especially when it was getting squirly all the way down CR 15, heh.

I think I had my Talon at the time, it was a "pretty" monarch pearl green back then, and about bone stock. No one remembers it, heh.

Were you also out at some deserted road in Wyoming one night about a year earlier? I talked to someone who was opening up a shop up there or something (Bandit or Outlaw Performance or Racing? Something like that rings a bell anyway). That night there was a 10-second white Fox body that was running a 300 shot IIRC, racing an 11-second GN. A whole bunch of us came up from Ft. Collins, I was in my mostly stock burgundy '89 IROC 305 5-speed. Know anything about that?

I'm glad to hear that car is still in one piece at least, that can't be said for many highly modded cars, heh. I like it's simple/cheap approach toward going fast with fuel injection. Good job.

 

Yeah we went out to CR15 and I almost lost to that blue supercharged bigblock first gen. I remembered to turn on my nitrous about 5 seconds late and still beat him. Everyone thought I was just messing with him. The thing I remember was that "luna"tic's alcohol injected 9 sec crazy little nova that my friend Dave beat with his hooked up 11 second Nova. Those two bad *** little DSM's that were there whuppin just about everything (11 secs cars I think). I didn't race them, but I did beat that and that red stang that wanted a piece. That was a good night of racing

The night you came to race up in cheyenne at our "spot" Don was racing his stang (10 seconds at the time) and he hung the skinnys that night. I wish I could find some video of that. He ended up running in the 8's to qualify for 12 of 16 at a PSCA race with a different paint job and still running a stock ECM (with RPM extender).

Here it is at a Douglas race running 10's as the only real street car at a supposed "street car" race:

As for the old shop, outlaw performance, we had a great run, but burnout, and hard to beat business practices by the "big guys", along with the financial difficulties of having credit charge companies making more on an item sold than we were at the point of sale made us decide to close to limit our losses.

here is our old shop


as for street racing now, its gets even crazier than it was back then. Still safe and mature people, the cars are more radical and the race nights are less frequent.
