check again?

This thread has gone to complete **** in the last few weeks.

I would love to do that swap, do you ever go to any different competitions, something is so sexy about an ls swap sliding.

[DaBombDiggidy]

competitions? my number 1 reason for wanting to do an ls1 swap to something ESPECIALLY AN FD is for art and his love of junking rotarys.

13.9, it's slow! apparently exedy triple plates aren't good for launching, who knew.

Ancient Video is Ancient.

But the Rotary swap of ALL Rotary swaps

Doesn't help that S-Chassis Rear Suspension Geometry is horrible for squatting - though S14/15 sub-frames are a little better than S13's.

the clutch fried itself... 2000$ piece of **** clutch that I can /never/ drag race with again... it seemed to hold really nice with a lot of spin before catching traction the 15 or so launches I had on it... then boom.

What kind of Torque are you making? I feel like a triple disk is way overkill.

Also, stupid question, what kind of 60' times are you getting? I don't think I've ever seen an S-Chassis without slicks/semi-slicks and crazy susp pull lower than like a 1.9 consistently.

the car was on the break in tune 12lbs, only making 315whp and iirc 266 torque, I have drag radials on it and hit a 2.1 ... with full air in the tires, I'm pretty confident I could have hit a 2.0 if I dropped the pressure, but I'll never know now... I'm on tein basics as well...

We felt the triple disc is necessary because of the highway pulls I intend on doing when it gets the full tune for 25lbs it should be making 480-520whp... unfortunately it'll never see the track again with the exedy, the pressure plate is too light for launching, it's designed to hold power for a longer period of time without the abuse of launches...

...I didn't know that but I purposely opted out of a drag clutch because I didn't want something purely for drag racing...

I DIDNT THINK THE CLUTCH WOULD BREAK with 315whp... it sure did though

so... it'll be fast for a straight line, not 1320 feet fast, but... fast... but still slower than a lot of other cars, but fast for me...

[DaBombDiggidy]

expensive clutches suck. hence why im going the effecient power route. if i dont trap 120 next summer im gona be mighty pissed. after that im gona learn how to drive n see what times i can get. the record with my turbo is 11.93 (and ive already accepted ill never drive well enough to get a td04 into 11s)

Gay.5

You would invest thousands of dollars and hours of work just to make me upset. That's determination!

Prime example of doing a 240 right! Good job man! Wish more people were into making these cars fast instead of focusing on body kits. Me personally I wouldn't have done the rims that color just because I like more simple colors. But other than that great car!

I like this plan.

That sucks man! I would be soo pissed if I was in your shoes. I have wanted to get a twin disk for my talon but so far my ACT 2900 hundred holds AWD launches just fine.

What did you trap on your 13.9?

[DaBombDiggidy]

was about to pick up mopar stage 2 coilovers yesterday on a good deal. He asked for 600 for them,
him- "sold my car and im just trying to get rid of them. They have about 5000 miles on them like new condition."
me- "Awesome ill be able to pay you when i get home from work"
him- "ok"
me- "please include in your paypal request that it is for Mopar Stage 2 coilovers in like new condition."
him- "im a forum moderator. LOL"
me- "thats cool... but im just covering my ass, i know its a good deal, but i dont know you and its not so good of a deal if some of the struts are blown"
him- "i met you at carlisle this year"
me- "sorry i dont remember you"
he then stopped replying. ****ing shady people, im sure i would have gotten them with shot struts. even if not who boasts "im a forum mod" like your the ****?

Question:

Why is it that the 1G DSM has been out for essentially 2 Decades and no one has figured out a universal formula to make them not look like vomit?

[Got Insulin?]

Too busy running tens.

But for whatever reason, they're just not a good looking car.
