I didn't mind really... I was just happy to run my car.

I ran against my buddy's Ultima(nickname) you see there in the pics. he has I/H/E and bought some brand new DR's for the day. His best run was 15.9 with a 2.2 60'. Unfortunatly, when I ran him, I had engine trouble(o2 sensor wires melted and shorted out together! scary!) and coasted a 20 @ 55mph. lol.

Thanks man.

You know, I thought about getting a Stage 2-3-4 clutch, but I opted for a Exedy Stage 1 b/c it's my daily driver.

Actually, I guess you could call it a "mini-me", but it's pretty much a Z6. D16A6 block, z6 head, as Calesta once said, the only difference between the two blocks(a6/z6) is probably the weight of the lettering exchange from A to Z.



Thanks

Andrew i think that you should go to an autox event.
all the money that you spent on this na engine could be better suited for autox instead of drag. just a thought....13.8-16+ sec runs aren't that much fun. racing around a track is better... i love drag but i think scca racing is WAY better.

Back from the dead!

1,700 miles and counting!
I need to adjust my valves(not chattering, just probably needs to be done).
And I'm gearing up for the Dyno tune(DynoJet), so I've been doing a few things to the car...

Got my Intake in [D16Y8]



And got some exhaust done! VERY happy with this setup!!!!
2.5" crush bent piping
18" or so resonator
Turbo III muffler





Looks stock ftw!



Video \/ . Sounds near-stock inside.
the second 'blip' is to 4500rpm.




IM install and Dyno soon!

I think it's called a "turbo III" muffler. And I love it. It's so quiet, and a pretty straight through design-


from me. I love the way it sounds! nice and throaty, and with the resonator, I don't hear ANY rasp/whine.

2.5" seems a little too big [it is crushed though] hmm?
sounds good
is that just a regular straight through resonator?

cherry bomb makes the mufflers...

Yeah, I went with 2.5 b/c of the crush bending.
And yep, it's a straight through resonator. I looked inside of it, and it's got little bumps on the sidewalls of it.. I guess thats just part of the design. It was pretty cool

Why did you go with crush bent? Or did the shop not have mandrel bender?

Yeah they didn't have a mandrel machine[shop was in the ghetto], so I went with the bigger piping. My thinking is that I want 2 1/4" piping (if it were mandrel), so I figure 2.5" - craptastic crush-bent diameters = less than 2.5 and closer to my 2 1/4 goal.
