TMP results... what DID you run today? Halloween Sunday
 

I was pleased with my results

Best street tire run was 12.625@116.52 mph with 1/8 mile mph at 91.53

My best drag radial run (thank yo Clint for letting me use your DR's) was 11.795@118.59mph

Me=very happy!

BTW Clint i am very impressed with your ride. You ran GREAT today@#! I'll let you post your #'s but i think you are GTAMC's fastest now. All that in a fully legal Mustang (wipers, plated insured and radial tires). Very cool. Plus this is running LOW boost compared to what your other pully put out (16 psi vs 30). All this with no tuning either! Seesh!

So cool!

oh ya... guess its time to update my signature now :)

Very nice runs. Any pictures or video?

Very, very nice times.

What combo is your buddy running?

Wow Joe! Thats great for the Setup you have. Its totally a street car and runs those times! What were your 60' times on those runs? I need to get a blower on the Cobra! I want to run 12's first N/A though.

DAMN Joe, thats impressive, I bet with some tuning you may hit low 11's or possibly 10's, I know your car runs fine now, but with tuning I bet you could pick up some serious power.

N/A sucks ass.


Yeah, tuning probably would net some more ponies. I haven't tuned it at all really. Just played with timeing a bit. Heck, the fpr is still the stock unit.

N/a
 

91mgt

your car must be slow on the motor,if you think N/A sucks :Weird:

Blowers are easy horsepower,anyone can make power
N/A will always be more impressive,just more expensive(at first)

more impressive? who gives a . I love it that N/A guys think like that. they are always the easy ones to beat. Can't have everybody blown, that would step up the bar into a different league. Let me Make my reasons clear for saying N/A sucks.

it costs more to build a stout combo that can rev very high safely. High power N/A usually takes away from fuel economy, and driveability.

Shoot i gotta go to work.

Either way, boosted is great. i don't ever want to go n/a again. costs more to make the same amount of hp as a boosted app and driveability suffers.

bye

What did clin run? He beat Tim culp's 9.80? Very cool if he did.

BTW GTAMC is not up because we have to move to a dedicated server. We getting too big and it killer the internet hosts server.

:LOL: Must not be a very good webhost. How much bandwidth could a forum possibly use that it would crash a host?

Shared hosting services, especially cheap ones, will put 3000-4000 sites onto one box. The max should be 300-400. A dedicated server is really only like 100 a month for 500gb/month of bandwidth.

They keep going with the wrong technology partner.

yeah they only had 8 mb of ram dedicated ot us. New server will have one gig for us according to Khaine.

Ouch. :mad:

A dedicated server is overkill for something like the GTAMC and it's quite expensive. A reliable shared hosting provider would be just as good and much cheaper. But hey, that's just my $0.02 :)

9.5@146mph

With full exhaust and drag radials!!!!!!!...............

He destroyed my best runs by a mile! Very cool and on a radial tire no less! I'm still a tenth and a half behind and I'm not done for the year just yet LOL!

Sweet huh?

As docile as can be and friggin' insane when he's on it. The sad part is it's tuned very, very conservativley and about 5-6psi short of the the goal during the build. It'll be 8 second potential for sure, definitely a sleeper if you as me. Looks like and 11 second car and other than the whistle from the Novi it doesn't sound like it's making 800hp. LOL!

Maybe DASILVA should pitch in for a better server :tup

Sucks its down, one less place for me to be selling my stuff on :mad:

Clint has done an amazing job on his car. All his hard work has paid off by looking great and going very fast. Here is a pic from 1999 of my 91mgt and Clint's car.

here is a pic of his car now. (mine's in the background)

http://home.cogeco.ca/~samdogg11/cay...-clint-joe.jpg

now thats what i am talking about.

maybe i should start a thread of Before and After. then we could post pics of our cars when we got it, and how she sits now. :)

We go though 60-80 GB a month. Trust me its not cheap.

Ryan, something to consider for the future is bypass these hosting companies and become a hosting reseller yourself.

For $145/year the GTAMC could have 15GB of disk space and 150gb of bandwidth which costs a ton less than any hosting company can offer and maybe you can sell off small hosting packages to other people.

My company has been dealing with hosting resellers for years. Eliminate the middle man and become one yourself. Saves a ton of cash :tup

Any personal beefs, past or present, that anyone may have with eachother should be taken up in person or in private. This is not the place. :)

glad to see this is back open again.

Clint's grey beast has a NEW best as of today... 9.42 @ 148.48mph

that is utterly amazing... and driven to the track too - about 1 hour away.

here is a pic (from tc89lx)

In the near lane is Clint and in the spectator side is tc89lx - gtamc and cmoc's fastest members...

i dont believe they are GTAMCs fastest, because according to that site
wheels 1991 coupe is 1.277 8.800@161.00 which is the 1010 RWHP street car by tag is. :dunno
But, if youre referring to the people that showed up that day, then im assuming yes they were the fastest. :tup

Joe, those pics were taken by Rick (MTO502) and he was nice enough to send them my way.

my baad. didn't know.

Silly Joe, the guy from Newfoundland IS the GTAMC's fastest. Check your facts before making rediculous claims like that. :p

he's is not even from the GTA. so he doesn't count.

oh, i was just going off the clubs board, sorry bout that.
:bang

car is still sick Tim :tup

Ok, then he's CMOC's fastest as soon as he joins!

Tim, dont you hate it when someone is faster than you? lol.. I was hoping to be one of the faster guys around. I have been building a car for 2 years and finally its almost done and everyone fast is about 1/2 a second quicker.

Damn you and your nitrous!

I am going to start having to sell my body and get a Dart block


...umm this might take a while.... :bang

Honestly I love it! Competition is good and it's always great when it's between friends....it keeps me on my toes. In the past few years mine has turned into a more purpose built car (OSCA index racer) so I'm pleased where I'm at. I would like to get it a bit quicker though and try and step up a class, but if it doesn't happen I'm not disappointed.

Beatiful car ! Dod you re sheetmetal over the walls of fill on the holes? i was thinking about doing the same thing/ Suggestions?

Ryan, they are fabricated sheetmetal panels welded over the factory inner aprons. It was easier to completely smooth and cover the panels rather than weld up each and every individual hole. I think it looks slick myself, Clint did a great job with it!

Did he do the firewall as well?

What gauge steel should I use? I also have to fit some 3" tubing though there. Hmm and I have to relocate my MSD, boost retard, coil, , wires are already moved....


all well I have all winter.

Yup, the firewall holes were welded up, not covered like the forward sections of the aprons. The strut tower holes were also welded up and smoothed out.

Steel, 18ga would work nicely and be pretty strong but 20-22ga would be easier to form. Since it's mainly cosmetic and the structure is still in behind it probably wouldn't be too big of a deal to go with the lighter steel.

I need a little strength because I had to notch the frame rails with the first turbo setup

When in doubt, go thicker. It'll weld easier anyways, just a bit trickier to form.

For me I could just take a picture of the car for the before...then for the after, just a picture of an empty parking spot :D
