Ready 4 Take Off!!!

**Wolfpack Speed** · 08-20-2006, 10:47 PM

got the shifter mounted, neutral safety switch wired and clutch pedal deleted. just waiting for the big stuff to show up...c-4, flexplate, bell housing, converter etc. wanted to do this with my white 03 and figured i would just go ahead and get it done now with this car. haven't done much racing this year and i should be back up and running in time for the nmra colombus event. plenty of time for good runs and good air. the car should be much faster with the auto/transbrake setup and will make the suspension much easier to tune. to bad we don't have a good local track to do some testing at

here is a quick pic of the shifter all setup and ready to go, took some more weight out too!!!:D

it needs to be tight, low 4k should be plenty. im sure i'll have to send it back out, i doubt it will be right the first time

Precision Industries? Im really happy with my Edge converter. Very close if not exactly 3200. Well see how it does on Wednesday.

trans king tranny. i had the texas boys http://www.strictlypro.com put the conversion package together. i figured since nobody has taken a twin screw c-4 car down the track faster than strictly, they would be the ones to put everything together for me. richard was pretty adimant about the gearing and how tight the converter needs to be so we'll see what happens.

honestly Bill, i have no clue who is doing the converter, they said they have someone local build them for them.

Sweet. I bet its gonna rip.

Thats awesome, I would guess that you will be solidly in the 9's after this?

I think he needs to ditch the glove box lid to get there. All that weight is holding him back! ;)

That could be it! That .08 second is probably killing him. if he took another patch of carpet out it might get him there too. Or maybe just do the good old take out your seats trick.:D

EDIT: why cant we directly post pictures.....as in use the [IMG][/IMG] tags?

sorry but i need the glove box to help hide all the missing stuff, im way ahead of ya!!!!! if this car doesn't run solid 9's i have failed. if something isn't right i will do whatever it takes to make it run the numbers i think it should run.;)

**Mater** · 08-21-2006, 08:11 AM

awesome

**gmkillr** · 08-21-2006, 08:55 AM

Holy sh*t!! How much of the interior are you putting back in?

**Viper_ed** · 08-21-2006, 09:14 AM

I still see alot of sound deadener that could be scraped off the floor if you haven't already done it. A buddy of mine did that in his Fox and saved around 10 pounds.

**BoneCrusher** · 08-21-2006, 09:45 AM

F'n sweet dude.

+1

Just did that to my fox a few weeks ago. Some of it was stuck on there pretty good, but since your car isn't 21 years old it might not be as bad. Definitely something to thing about if you have the carpet out again. I'd say it's at least 10 pounds worth.
