Silicate water. LOL Title: Re: Not a proven combo, just my junk...............III Post by: blk-sunshine on October 05, 2012, 10:33:01 pm Rodney,
Thank you for creating this thread. I have always enjoyed reading about your testing efforts and watching the videos you have posted. This car is also haulin too. Great job, it takes a lot to wring that performance out of them. Keep up the work, thanks for the updates. Title: Re: Not a proven combo, just my junk...............III Post by: juiced coupe on October 05, 2012, 11:35:29 pm After seeing this car run earlier this year, I wanted to walk over and kick the hell out of mine.
They have that thing flying, and that nut behind the wheel gets it done. I think he's been drinking the silicate water. :hmmmm: Title: Re: Not a proven combo, just my junk...............III Post by: mxracer652 on October 06, 2012, 06:56:25 am 7.06!?!?! :ban Aw yeah racin' carank pully!!!!
Title: Re: Not a proven combo, just my junk...............III Post by: David Claflin on October 06, 2012, 07:18:38 am There's more to come on this thing, he's got another project car that is going to set new standardness in the oddball category, but will run like the others.

Title: Re: Not a proven combo, just my junk...............III Post by: Mr.Blue on October 08, 2012, 03:24:50 pm There's more to come on this thing, he's got another project car that is going to set new standardness in the oddball category, but will run like the others. what is it? Lol............its a secret ;).......nothing odd about it, Davids just stirring the pot lol..........but on a serious note, as i posted in Davids thread i drove it to the track and it's had a niggling "flat" spot thru 3rd. gear for awhile that i need to figure out. With our local track closed its hard for me to get as many trips to really work on the problem and it runs fine, ran a bunch of .20's yeaterday but it should have been in the teens with the perceived weather we had bbuuttt thats why we test right? Probably going to take it to mobile fri. (600ft. track) and try to fiddle with it a little rather than just beating the tar out of it like normal lol............ On a side note i actually brought my GT back out and tagged/insured it and raced it friday after sitting in the warehouse for a year lol...........best pass was 1.47/6.59@94.7 (600ft.).........basically 4 tenths off a full 1/8th. also ran a few .61's and missed 4th. THREE times on one pass! Whoo Hoo...a new record!! :loser Title: Re: Not a proven combo, just my junk...............III Post by: 289nate on October 19, 2012, 11:24:33 am Always love hearing about the stuff you put together and get to run well beyond what most expect. :clap
The guy at the car show last week told me he has never missed a shift. :hmmmm: Was there left over gel on your hand from styling your hair before heading to the track that caused you to have a poor grip on the shifter? Maybe your hand was tired from polishing the chrome valve covers and wheels before you left? ;D Title: Re: Not a proven combo, just my junk...............III Post by: Mr.Blue on October 22, 2012, 11:42:20 am Lol.............maybe some grease from a cheeseburger on my hand lol..............i do keep a rag by the shifter to wipe my hands AND one in the floorboard to wipe the bottom of my clutch shoe when i get in the car :dunno
i have polished the wheels before but its been awhile :orglaugh And anybody that basically "never" misses one isnt making a whole bunch of passes especially in a syncro tranny IMHO..............in any case i've definetlly missed my share :duh lol Title: Re: Not a proven combo, just my junk...............III Post by: Mr.Blue on February 19, 2013, 09:09:27 am Welp i got tired of waiting for the renovations on my local track and Micheal was itching to try out the new and improved Mr.Sinister (lol) so we loaded up and headed out to our favorite '600ft. track sunday for some fun.............loaded up with some 93 swill and headed out 83 miles one way to beat the piss out of the coupe in a legal enviorment and PRAYED Micheal would finally have his crap together on his driving his car (more on that in the problown junk thread)................anyho i made 12 passes missed 4th. twice :loser.........in my defense i was watching micheal as i was pulling on him (i gotz TREE'D) and pooped the shift on TWO runs.......yeah, i did that........anyway..........best was a 6.72@92 and worst was a 7.02 misser................had a lot of fun and didnt break anything and neither did Micheal for once :ban.............add about 4 tenths/4 mph for *true* 1/8th. mile numbers.............hopefully Atmore will be open in a few weeks and i can start getting a fresh baseline/database for my new home track :party

Nice pictures of your cars coming out of the hole. :burnout That ram air helps,w e've found putting a box around the air filter after pulling the headlight out helps too. ON the datalogs it shows a load of 130 and up depending which car it is, that's supercharger territory. ;)Title: Re: Not a proven combo, just my junk...............III Post by: Mr.Blue on February 20, 2013, 01:30:11 pm You're serious about your ram air on the shiney car! Nice pictures of your cars coming out of the hole. :burnout I've had a few people look in that hole.............not sure what they thought they were gonna find...........that ram-air has made the rounds, it was originally on the GT and here's a pic of it on my AOD car.........I KNOW! I KNOW! Racing it's like kissing an ugly sister but i got it in my last divorce! I've got most of the parts to stick it but keep buying other junk :hmmmm: (http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx293/MrBlue008/DSC_00321.jpg) Title: Re: Not a proven combo, just my junk...............III Post by: juiced coupe on February 20, 2013, 03:44:44 pm And the poor old short bus, blue lug nutz FTW!.....................I miss you buddy!!!! (http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx293/MrBlue008/partscar.jpg) OMG, that reminds me of a 80' that I had in high school. Mine was dark cordovan, which was closer to turd brown by the mid 90s. Had space savers up front with 10 holes on the back. Title: Re: Not a proven combo, just my junk...............III Post by: David Claflin on February 20, 2013, 05:44:53 pm OMG, that reminds me of a 80' that I had in high school.

I'll bet you never had a cockroach fall out of it when you opened the door just as you were explaining what a POS it was, or had the brake shoes ziptied together when the self-adjuster failed so you could keep racing. :orglaughTitle: Re: Not a proven combo, just my junk...............III Post by: 289nate on February 20, 2013, 05:53:27 pm OMG, that reminds me of a 80' that I had in high school.

For some reason, my cars tend to attract squirrels and wasps. No zip tied brakes, but I have had to get creative. Last time I was at Mobile, I broke my tach mount while reaching through the window for the keys. I tied it down with a 10' long ratchet strap. Then I made a 6.13 pass like that. :) Title: Re: Not a proven combo, just my junk...............III Post by: Mr.Blue on February 21, 2013, 08:17:47 am OMG, that reminds me of a 80' that I had in high school.
