out!!!

 

Wait for it.........

 

Haha. It takes a LOT of work to remove that kind of weight. Plus, the VQ engine is about 100lbs lighter than the VE30DE with iron block. That helped a lot. Plus, I will sometimes spend hours just to remove 1lb worth of nuts/bolts and brackets. It has added up over the years.

A few of the major things that have been done to reduce weight are:

Remove interior
Lightweight drag wheels w/ slicks
Rear skinnies
No bumper supports
No catback exhaust (run open Ypipe for track)
Lightweight battery

This Spring, I hope to finally have a manual steering rack and a fuel cell to further reduce weight. Once that is complete, I will need to install a chrome-moly roll bar since NHRA rules require one at 11.99 or faster. Then, I will piece together the interior and make it look 100% stock. But I should only need to add about 50-75 lbs in order to have a full, stock appearing interior once again.

 

Paper mache' bumper covers or thin carbon fiber....along with CF fenders, hood, & trunk. Lexan windows etc....

 

The bumper covers and fenders are pretty light to begin with. I may only shave 3 lbs by having fiberglass or CF replacements made. The truck has been gutted with the spoiler removed. It's still functional with the spring rods in place. So it stays open no problem. But the cross bracing has been removed. The hood is still 100% stock with the bracing still in tact. Plus, the hood struts are still functional. I like the hood to stay open by itself while at the track. And lexan windows are not worth the amount of money and labor I'd have to put into them. I will only shave about 10 lbs all around.

Right now, I'm concentrating on reducing weight where it's cheap and easy to do. So I haven't made any fiberglass panels yet. But it's possible I may do that one day.

 

Thank Guys, you not believe our 6 Gen isnt quick/fast on during stock?,

Our 6 Gen isnt Stock, just few stock on kn filter and exterior goods, so what you think good happen i got 13 sec on track what you think??

 

A K&N dropin filter. That might be good for 1whp, and only if it's maintained correctly.







Why just the other day, my mom called me and said that I pulled on a Pontiac G8 GT in my '06 Volvo wagon. They met at the Wendy's right after both getting some fast food and I opened the hood and he almost fainted when he saw my stock engine. She told me that I really want to take my Volvo to the 1/4 mile track. Even if you don't believe me I'm fine with that?

 

this thread still has life?

 

What just happened here?

Try reading that post aloud with a robot voice. It's really funny.

 

Sparks resist the temptation don`t feed into it. lol

 

lmfao!!!!

 

Haha... I tried it in ventrilo and at this website.

(just click, it will load it up and read it to you)

Pretty awesome.

 

I can't help it, he's my favorite troll.

 

Funny stuff, Sparks. It sounds like that "Car Forums" video.

 

Wow. This one is way better.

It fits! lmao

 

Yikes!

Is it mean of me to be amused at some poor slob's Pigeon English? Sometimes I think it is, but then I do so like to laugh.

 

I felt like I was being mean at first, but it almost seems intentionally hilarious.

 

No, I'm just kidding, Sparks. It's stupid funny, regardless of the circumstances.

Sorry to but into your thread. Good to see you back in the 5th gen forum.

 

Only if you uh, don't mind others laughing w/ you....

 

That there is fuuuuuuunnnnny. Holly**** I`m still laughing. Good stuff there Sparks.

 

Thanks, and yeah... My conscience couldn't stop me from laughing at him.

 

And krazy6 and other owner not believe me about our stock 6 gen maxima hit 13 sec on the track, he believe our 6 gen stock hit 14 sec!, it fine and we will get track and HD Video soon, BUT i not think about post it because owner maxima calling me a BS on number? Keep on Track Good Luck!

 

I bet you won't post it when you run a 14.8@95 and feel embarrassed.

 

i not embarrassed, i can post it but someone BS on number on 13 sec on it,

I ask u question, IF YOU WILL BELIEVE US WHEN these hit 13 sec and prove on timeslip sheet, dyno sheet, video on track or dyno and show my car under the hood, etc.. on post it! will you willings?!

 

Que

 

Wait a minute... is this guy real, or is this some kind of forum version of performance theater? I'm confused now.

 

 

Proof is proof. That said, you're going to run 14s.

 

It's funny, cuz he doesn't even seem to be reading the thread. If he is, he either doesn't understand what's going on, or he has a remarkable ability to let criticism bounce right off of him. I lived in Asia for a couple years and learned to fluently speak another language and as such, I consider myself pretty adept at picking up what non-native English speakers are trying to say. Let it suffice to say that I'm having a really hard time with these posts. I think he'd be better off typing what he wants to say directly into an online translator and then posting that. It would probably be more intelligible.

 

There's always the possibility that he's just a troll. It really seems too good to be true... lol

 

In late

but hey i wanna get my post count up tooo



Hey

 

Trying to get to 2,000 its taken 5 years

 

And I thought I was a slow poster. I guess only compared to some (cough*crusher**cough)... but it's easy to have 20,000+ posts after the years when most of those are 's hehe

 

 

Those will up your post count too

 

I would go with progress for a lower and more even drop, eibach for performance and less drop. The more you drop with springs, the higher wear on CV joints and worse suspension geometry. Tokico cheapies are fine.

 

I had to go look up who this JayPee guy is. He's some racer who hangs out in the 1/4 mile forum. So I bounced through a few of his threads, and... wow!

His cars and his track times are some pretty impressive stuff.

 

All I saw.

 

Yea thanks sparks for the info i got it down to KYB-GR2 with Sprint or Progress Technology spring it's real hard to pick a spring
