I had my single turbo FD rx7 up to a GPS doc'ed 165. Scary scary scary.
Scarier.... pulling my Nova drag car down from 145 mph at some of the outlaw tracks I've been to with short shut down areas. I've locked those itty bitty discs and drums up and came within 6 inches of nailing a huge stack...
I work 5/8's of a mile from my house. When the Supra is down, I take the drag car. When the drag car and the Supra are down, I walk. But, knock on wood, the Supra has not failed me once since May.

Some holligans in my neighborhood were egging my drag car, my supra and my fiance's brand new Scion TC. I heard them making all sorts of noise and "accidently" let my two 90 lb. dogs outside. Opps.

My all steel '78 Nova weighs 3150 lbs. It's actually thinner and quite a bit lighter (but slightly longer) than my Sup. The Supra actually is difficult to slide in my tiny garage because it is a LAND BARGE.

Let me tell you, I'm really concerned about the cornering ability on my bracket car ;)
295/60 14 out back and 195/70 up front. Drives like a nitrous fed 383 should:)

I lost mine once at 40. Flew back and a car behind me swerved and just missed being whammed in the windshield. Suprisingly, no scatches and it bolted right back down!

Get an N/A and drive it into the ground after a blown head gasket at 80k miles.
I've put 25k on mine so far. Had to put a TPS and knock sensor rewire on it to get it out of limp mode, but I've never had it off the road for more then a couple hours.

Got up at about 7:30 am a few weekends ago. Pulled the engine and trans in my '78 Nova drag car. Replaced with new engine and trans combo. Finished by 1 o'clock to watch the Steelers game. Broke in and ready to race after game/dinner.
Compared to that, anything is "hard."
I don't think the...
I've been chasing a code 52 and 41. I got a new TPS sensor because the old one was zeroed out at idle and throttle (idled at 3000 rpm). I set it using the shim and twist method, but it still showed 41, ran better, but kind of eh.
So, I finally got around to doing the knock sensor rewire to...
The 60 ft. is kind of iffy, the 1/8th is starting to speed up, but you really get moving through the 1000 ft and 1/4 mile! Sounds like a better launch would drop your times dramatically. I've picked up over 2.5 tenths on the big end by cutting my 60 ft. by a tenth.
Kev (has to pull lots of...
Which speaker wire? I changed my head unit/front speakers. Light bulb came on for the tails with none out, head unit will mysteriously have no power sometimes.
