Not to be an ass, but again, what was the big deal w/ this motor being in a car? i think I missed something?

yeah. Matts car probably weighed 600 pounds more, and a lsvtec should have about 25 more hp than his.

That joel actaully is somewhat finishing a project, and it is getting done right.

Matt's hatch was a cx, the weight is going to be with in 50 pounds of your EF.

P.s. Didn't Sean make a 13 second pass N/A with his LS/Vtec crx?

[KA-T_240]

Ya, but traction is the key.

Just to give you and idea I ran a 13.9 with a 'pretty much stock' ls vtec on street tires running pig rich.

Thank you Paul :icon_thumleft:

Word! Matt beat the piss out of his hatch to get it to run that time, and he is a good driver. I would say with slicks along with some track time Joel could do it.

Then again, what tranny are you using? Lsd?

[Joel]

no LSD, LS tranny, read n00b!

Congrats on almost finishing a car Joel hope you get it done, i have yet to do that.

You really really really should do that.

[DrifterExtreme]

only thing is it is not as cheap as with a 240sx to get a lsd.

they can go anywhere from $450-900+ for a good lsd... then if you want one for a cable trans your most of the time better off buying a new trans with a factory lsd as it is easier to find but still cost's $600+

[Joel]

Well, the car is done. And I dont regrat a penny I spent on it. I only brought it through the gears hard like twice and shifted at 7 every time. It feels like a low 14/ high 13 second car.

[DelSlow]

this is a new motor/clutch right?...so...no clutch break in eh?..

[MisterCMK]

It cost me $50 for the rebuild kit for my trac-lok :w00t:

[Joel]

What do you consider as break in will. I did a variable load break in. 3rd gear take it from 40 to 65 and let the engine slow itself back down to forty. repeat for 15 miles. clutch is not brand new.

Wont believe it till I actually see it, pretty skeptical on the 13's....just saying this mostly because u were shooting me down when I said i'd like to break 14's with my car...

[HandoEX]

Is it for sale yet? jk buddy! Congrats.

I should probably sell it before I break something/kill myself/go to jail.

[Erik]

Congrats joel! I want a ride!

[DelSlow]
