Did you take the door glass out of the doors? I noticed no cranks on the door panels. If so how much do they weigh?

Terrible1 · May 10, 2008

Nope glass is still in the doors for now... eventually they'll be removed.
I have electric windows so I just installed a couple of toggle switches on the dash to control the windows instead of the huge factory switch. Looks much cleaner in my opinion

:lol: Trust me... you aren't the first person to offer. As of right now I still need a set of street tires/wheels to drive to local races on until I can get a trailer and truck of my own ( right now I'm borrowing a truck/trailer )

So your vote is for Gunmetal???

Gunmetal or black.. yes.

Quick shot of my car in grid at auto-x yesterday. There is another race today and my buddy will take a bunch of pics so I can post them up for everyone.
Car ran fantastic, but due to the fact that I'm still on street tires my times suffered. I really need my economic stimulant check to arrive so I can mount my Toyo R-comps :lol: The IRS website said I should receive it direct deposit on the 9th but it's not there yet :dunno:

cant wait to see the autox pics...

Well I finished 2nd overall in my class. There was a Shelby Cobra that was a good 4.5 seconds faster then me :lol:

Had some problems with the car on the way home though. It was running really sluggish and when ever I got on the throttle hard up around 5000 rpm it would hit what felt like a rev limiter :dunno: My rev limiter is set to 7000......
So it's pulling timing as far as I can tell, but I'm not sure why???
Could it be the fuel pump :dunno:
The engine is really hot and my oil temps are up around 230 if that help diagnose the problem...
Any ideas???

Thats impressive. I could have alot of fun with that

Terrible1 · May 12, 2008

Here are a few more pics. I only have one action shot but I'm sure some friends took more so I'll keep digging for ya...

On the way to the race

Getting ready to lift the car up and add some camber in the front

Running through the front straight. Looks like I could use some stiffer suspension :lol:

This is my buddies car. He left it unattended and there happened to be a stack of spare cones laying around, so I let my artistic side come out. I call it the "Cone Killer" :lol: :lol: :lol:

Epic.

Dude, you need to make me a promise.
NEVER change the overall appearance of this car. This car looks like it was designed for AutoX

slverfocus13 · May 12, 2008

dude that EG6 with all the cones is hilarious...how is the ride noise in ur car with no interior?

Nickgt40 · May 12, 2008

Car looks great, I am sitting here trying to figure out something it's missing... and I honestly cant. :thumbup:

Hope you can find out what was causing that problem though.

It's a little noisy to say the least :lol:
Sounds like a race car though!

i guess thats a plus since it looks the part

tparker · May 13, 2008

It's not that loud with the windows up, but with the windows down the wind noise is deafening. I have driven mine more then 8hrs straight and it is not that bad, ipod with ear buds really help. LOL

recar · May 13, 2008

Have you scaled the car yet?

Terrible1 · May 13, 2008

^^^
Nope not quite yet. Thats on the very long list of things to get done though :lol:

kiwizx3 · May 13, 2008
