Finally cracked 10s on the 2nd run:

All this on my daily driver Z that I also track regularly at HPDEs (just attneded one at TWS the week before) :) Goes to show you can setup a car's suspension and drivetrain to be good at both road racing and drag racing...

Well now I gotta finish building my S13, just need money for the fuel cell, seats, cage, etc :)

That is some sick 60's. On the second race you had the dude by .4 and he still ran a 9.7. :eek: What was it a Supra with a snail the size of my head?

EDIT: I just looked at his trap :tweak: and I doubt it's a Supra but none the less he should've ran a high 8.

nice times man. what mods do you have?

Woops that page on the site has not been updated for over a year now, mainly the rear suspension has been upgraded:

SPL aluminum subframe and diff bushings
SPL reinforced subframe
SPL traction rods
SPL rear upper arms
SPL toe arms and Hicas-to-toe arm conversion bar

The suspension mods kept the car tracking straight even on low tire pressure, and reduces scrub; the stock suspension had quite a bit of play which allowed small toe changes.

Also running M/T ET Streets, race gas, 2 step rev limiter, 20 psi boost.

The chassis is stripped and the next step is the fuel cell and cage, then custom chassis wiring, and suspension bits of course :) Then a S14 blacktop SR20DET that has been waiting to go in for 1.5 years now :/
