now i understand everyone doubt's joel. but if i can get a stock b16 to run 14.3 in a eg. then joel can go faster then that in a lighter car, more power, etc...

it should run 13's but we will see soon....:icon_salut:

You ran that with slicks. He said street tires.

[treimche]

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.

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!

[00tibby00]

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?..
