1/4 mile times yet?????????????????????

 

just wait and then you will be in shock. track got postponed due to steering rack going bad.

 

Free bump.. still waiting on those slips

 

i got a video clip of my car so if somebody can host it for me, then we can watch it.

 

Videos do no justice without a 1/4 mile time

 

Video clip of the car going through a 1/4 mile, or just a video clip of the car PERIOD? Did the steering rack going bad have anything to do with the swap, I.E, is there enough room in there for the 3.5 and a functioning steering rack?

 

yes there is enough room for the 3.5 and the sterring rack also. and no the steering rack going bad did not have to do anything with the sawp. the video clip is just the car.

 

he's not going to post the times until its atleast a 14.3 .

God i cant wait if he doesnt get atleast a 13.6 ill be doubled over with laughter

 

So we will see whether rewiring the entire car was worth it, or if Tilley's way is better.

 

Hey, just goto the track buddy, ain't nothin to it but to do it.

 

.............

 

How was the track on Saturday, vsamoylov?

 

i didnt go to the track saturday. i was doing a smog check and it passed. good thing ofr me.

 

So you went today instead, right? Come on, you're in california, you can go anytime. I'm limited to April-October.

 

jesus christ man whats going on

 

give the guy some time. I'm pretty sure he has other things to deal with, like school.

 

I'm fine with that, but he first posted this on September 22nd, two months ago. We need to find out whether his swap was worth it and what problems might arise, personally, right now I'm leaning much more towards a Tilley-type swap........

 

Hmmm it's been 1 month and 22 days since he first drove the car. I guess he's really busy

Me on the other hand I will take my $15 and on a SAT on my day off go straight to the track as soon as I get it running.

 

Excellent

 

yes i am really busy with sats and school and work but the next time looks like will be thanksgiving weekenend so dont worry guys i will egt #. its not like i am avoding getting #, i am anxious also.

 

I went too the track 3-4 times in the past two months and im a business owner and dont have any time........just hurry and get er done.

 

SATS and school comes first, don't forget that. We'll wait til thanksgiving....

 

Just don't break it.

 

Why would he? It's like driving a lighter, faster, more nimble version of 2k2's-2k3's.

 

I think he went already and ran a high 14.
I would bet his car is only 50lbs lighter than a 02 maybe 75lbs at best.

 

What the ****? 1995-1996 are the lightest maximas ever made, the curb weight of a GXE is 2886lb (bare bones 5 speed) (http://lighter.maxdes.net/) whereas the curb Weight of a 2002 is 3,248 lbs (http://www.intellichoice.com/reports...75/section/all).

That's a whopping 362 pounds lighter than a the lightest 3.5-powered maxima (2004-2005 are boats, 3500 pounds). And that doesn't even take into account upsprung weight (ok he kept the 17-inchers, but stock 95-96's have 15-inch wheels, which would be good for another .15-.2 in the 1/4 mile.

I believe he has a y-pipe and intake also.

So, if stock 2k2's and 2k3's 6-speeds can run 14.3-14.1 bone stock, and if this guy can drive (assuming he can drive...), he should be able to get something in the order of 13.4-13.6 on a good day. If he got headers and the rest of the cat-back he'd be faster. And if he did everything SR20DEN did to his car in the long run, he'd have the fastest N/A maxima yet. You can't ignore the potential.

 

no i didn run anything yet and yes i know how to drive. patience is a virtue.

 

How long do we have to wait...............

 

Patience is a virtue, and waiting is how people freeze to death.

 

Congrats with ur 3.5 upgrade.. Seems as if us youngers are taking over...i wouldnt mind running with u ^_^ might bring some surprises... hehe

 

Damn the Group Deal for 95-96 Red Clears has a better chance at being made then us seeing some 1/4 mile times.

 

LMFAO

 

did yo mean thanksgiving this year? last time i checked, thats come and gone.

 

is he up and running?

 

Vlasic has seem to disapear with his secret 15 second time slips

 

everything is good so far. i have next week off from schoolso if the track is going to be open, i am heading down there first thing. so i am really hoping that the track will be open next week and the weather will be good.

 

____________

 

anybody know if the track is open next week?

 

You're in california, of course the track is open.

 

Be sure to scan your timeslip when you go, so we can see 60', 330' 1/8 mph, ect. ect.
