yeah hooking up is a major problem he has... M&H is sending down a set of new drag slicks as well as slicks for the dyno, were excited for the next couple of races... we seem to have worked out all the gremlins and the skys the limit from here...

Nice HATCH!!!

Yea did you see in that issue about the tein civic si that was jacked and they found it with nuffin in it. man whoever jacked that car got some balls to do that. and alot of $$ for the parts. the only down fall about jacking that si is that the parts are one of a kind made just for that car.

yup same guy... the more he learns the more the car grows. if and when we get the dyno slicks we really want to see what it can do... i just spoke with him today and he ran it @ the street legals in fontana, with a headwind and spinning second and third gear he ran a 10.30... were excited about the next couple of events...

treble, the vid is on the way... i have in the past mocked up an all access pit pass so i hope to do this again for some good stuff...

out of the way radiator, turbo coming through...............:TU:

nice

funny u say this flat4 cuz after this race the car goes into the shop for:shocked: yup a larger turbine for the turbo :shocked:
why this is needed i dont know but he plans to push over 900+whp b4 start of next season. with this upgrade in power comes a new setup for the suspension and some reworking of the innovative boost controller and ecu maps... we are also trying out a new 5th gear eliminator over the weekend so it will give us insight into our tranny setup 4 the next season also....
