The Project Pad

ya, not bad at all for a street car.

i want to hit the strip soon hopefully. i have a set of 15's and a fresh set of slicks to go onto them. they are just a little beat up on the bead so im not sure if they will hold air or not, we will have to mount them and see.

id rather not kill the shit out of axles though, thus the reasoning for wanting to run street tires at the track, but i killed the ones i have so ive gotta do something, lol.

i find its super easy to launch the shit out of my car with crappy street tires. Just spins a lot and kills the 60 foot times. Might help hold things together for you though. I notice the guys that brake a lot of things at the strip have real sticky tires.

Pretty impressive numbers. Nice work!

WOW, dude that is one crazy set up you got there. I was expecting big numbers but... damn! congrats




MOAR VIDS!

gotta get two new rt615's, cause i never got in aligned after building it....cause i thought in my head well it drives straight so f-it, ya not so much, i have totally killed the two front tires. ill have two fresh ones next week. then im going to find a litre bike.

Zerb,
Awesome!! Haven't followed much on the geek recently but glad I checked in and read this.

thanks Tox, been a long ass project, haha.

now it needs some 275's and big old brakes, thats what winters for though.

torque on the last pull was 508ft lbs for those whom were wondering

That's S I C K ! ! ! I want to put a 1.8T in mine now for sure haha. So do you do that with the 2 step at traffic lights in the left lane? I bet it impresses the ladies in the convertable if they have any hair left .

This is why my "finished" 200 will have a 16v and not a 20vt or 20vt 5cyl.

Simple off-the-shelf items netting big power. Just look at what Todd Pavics put down with a 16v using a stock head.

ya. todd made crazy power, and ran in the high 9's to boot, for quite a simple off the shelf 16v. big turbo, big boost, and they just kept putting more and more boost into it. my motor wasnt exactly a simple build, but they were pretty much all 'off the shelf' parts if you want to look at it that way. im looking for over 40psi next dyno hit after i drive it for a bit just to see whatll happen. we were having a bit of an issue on the dyno with it stumbling at a specific rpm range each pull. the funny part was as we kept hammering more boost into it, the less it would hiccup, lol.
