    How Big can we go?

    If it's going to be strictly for drag racing anyway, why not go all the way. Most people don't run E/T streets as a daily tire unless they want to replace them often and have never heard of rain. :icon_bigg

    how much from a dealer??

    Wow, over here they can charge you as much as you are willing to pay w/o warranty as far as I know. Outside the original warranty of course.

    Not that anybody cares... but new toy here(vid)

    So how high can your engine really rev? "Make sure you take it up to 11000". :icon_bigg

    Goat goes down!

    It's not often you get to run across a car heavier than ours. :icon_bigg 400hp what? Nice kill. :bigthumb: I get the same way whenever I'm driving my car, I get on it, watch the traffic fly by and I just get all hyped up.

    MKIII Supra: Reliable or Not?

    I've never had a problem with my supra, in fact I trust it more than my daily beater. In the last month and a half I've driven from MI to Chicago where I beat the shit out of it at the track (in a good way :icon_bigg ) then to Toronto where I did some more hard driving on the track and off...

    1/8 Mile Times

    I have a slip with 60' 2.543 1/8 9.945 mph 75.24 1/4 15.009 mph 100.50 That's probably as close as you can get. I assume you would have done a really high 14 since your mph was slightly higher.

    New Best Time

    Thanks, will do. Unfortunately I didn't get that run logged, but I can send you my last 2 runs from Wednesday, basically same setup with worse 60' times.

    New Best Time

    SRT-4 with slicks, it was like srt-4 day at the track, there was 3 or 4 there that could run similar times.

    New Best Time

    Sorry, I was so excited to post it up I forgot myself. Upgraded CT 60-1 K&N Intake Full 3" exhaust (no cats) Lex Afm and Denso 550's ~15 psi with 11-11.5 afr (just started tuning it, was as low as 9.5 in some spots before tuning) Running 275 Nitto DR's at 25psi I think she's got at...

    New Best Time

    After getting consistant 13.1's this Wednesday, I went back today and finally busted out a 12 :icon_bigg . It was all in the 60ft, I normally get 2.15's, I must have fell into the groove for once. Unfortunately I wasn't able to repeat it the rest of the day, and only a 13.00 was of note. Now...

    Whats the deal with the owners manual capacities?

    I don't really see the point in using it anyway. If you did indeed flush the system then you are left with just water in the block, in which case you do exactly as mkiiiman089 did which is to put all the coolant in and whatever else will fit is water. Regardless of pulling the drain plug you...

    Mk3 supra vs 9sec bike with nos

    No problem. Yeah, you do some killer launches. I'm going to have to take lessons, not sure my stock clutch would like it though. :icon_bigg Did you make it to UTL this weekend, I would have been there, but Dan and I were at the Toronto meet, it was a good time

    Any Staind fans???

    I liked them better when they were hard. To be honest, I bought 13 shades of grey just because it was Staind and I figured it had to be good. I was dissappointed. They used to have music with energy, not just feeling. I still listen to the new stuff, but it's just not Staind to me. I...

    "stock" mk3 puts it on 3 Fox Bodies (vid)

    I got love for ya man. I actually had a similar experience with my car. The first time at the track I already had a 3" catback, but I also had a leaking exhaust manifold gasket and got a 15.6. After I replaced the gasket and put a 3" downpipe in place of the stock setup I got a 14.6. A full...

    Thoughts on R32 Golf.

    My bad about the mods, but I figured it at least showed you weren't stock, I guess I also gathered that from your times. Sorry Dead. Anyway, I think the track is what it is all about. (besides my lack of skill) I did my best at Norwalk, right after they had prepped the track. Since then I've...

    Thoughts on R32 Golf.

    ^^^ check his sig. He may take you from a dig but you should take him from a roll. But you have to ask yourself, does your friend know the car well enough to run a 14.1? Is it a manual? You may get him from a dig too. I'm in the same boat as you, while I do have a best of 13.88, I've...

    Well, I found the limit for a stock head gasket.

    ^^^ I'll be right there with ya buddy. Maybe only 15psi for me, we'll see how my retorque holds up. Grimjack, I hope I take it as well as you, if I ever end up blowing mine. Good luck with the rebuild. Brent
