so i get off work last night around 11:30 and on my way home decide to stop by franny lew (a popular strip for racing here in queens) just to see if anything's going on. sure enough i see the northeast guys cruising so i hang a uturn and join up with them. we're cruising back and stopped a light, and the foxbody 5.0 mustang does something stupid like burnout a little a run the red. so i think... okay - i'm a few cars back, whatever... then the next light turns green and he does a peelout and takes off. well... i look down at my odometer and noticed i had 496 miles since i installed the act and flywheel. close enough to the break in period i thought... so i lit up the tires and took off after him. i caught him at the next light and we were lined up next to each other. i kept looking over trying to get his attention but he wouldn't look at me... i knew it was on though. anyway the light turns green and i take off. he didn't do anything! nothing! bastard. so we're going and after the next light he takes off so he's cruising and i pull up next to him and pace him at about 20 mph. sure enough we both take off at the same time and ran it to about 100. i won't lie, he had about a car on me, then i pulled on him and he had me by a nose by the time we shut it down (not bad for having only a cai and chrome 18's that are heavyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy).

but here's the real story. on my 2-3 shift i chirped 3rd like a motherf.... oh my god, that has to be the greatest feeling. just think if i chirped 3rd with these heavy azz 18's wait until i put my 15's with drag radials on... i'll chirp 4th like mad.

just wanted to throw out another recommendation for the act clutch. this thing is banannas

 

And you doubted me....

ahahahahahaha

 

my bad

 

its broken in already?

 

Which ACT is it? Stage 1-2? Street disc right?

 

stage 2

 

Some props for the lighter flywheel too!

 

what are you talking about....there are NO stages in ACT clutches...only differnet discs...and he has the STREET disc....the 4 puck and 6 puck discs would literally RIP a maxima's stock tranny apart.

 

from the start..lol i was behind ckny and they were going at it...I was like ok leme chase them, but i stay behid..and watched the magic.. It was on when the light changed.. Man ckny chirped all the way.. I was like wtf.... He caught up with the musdtang but the Piehole turned left and made a u-ie back up franny lew, ckny was on the far right boxed in by the cars... but that mustange was just oo cocky.. looking for something to beat.. but ckny held his ground,I belive that if you two had a nice stripe of road you'll beat his **** to the ground.. man if you leave the crome at home and put your stock back on, can you say over...LOL Nice kill man.. glad to hear that your not slipping again, atleast for not a while

 

there is no stages

 

yes sir

 

actually i went with nissan's "redesigned" flywheel. since i have no plans of boosting i decided to save the extra $300.

 

if i keep chilling with you guys i'll burn this baby out in no time

it's all good though... one night i'll swap the 15's on when i head to franny lew... then we'll have some fun.

 

correct. act has different disc's not stages. they have the street disc which is what i am running which includes the heavy duty pressure plate. they also offer a 4 or 6 puck but it is NOT recommended for street use at all.

i have the NM1-HDMM

 

splendid

 

Heh... Have fun chirping third and forth while you can.. After you get a couple thousand miles on it, you won't be able to.

 

whats the story with your clutch? centerforce backordered?

 

please don't ruin this for me.

 

just pushed it down the hill to the shop at 8:30

 

lol you have the act?

 

i hope your car isn't as slow as your brain ...

 

I have 30K miles on my ACT street clutch....and with Nitrous abuse I can still easily chirp third...4th I've never been able to chirp becuse I have really grippy dunlops....well...maybe I do chirp a little...but I can't hear it over the engine and wind....

 

Anyone Caravaning from the HID meet noticed alot of Maximas doing wierd things...esp 1HOTMAX who babies his car, but somehow "beat" on his car on Saturday night, dippin in traffic w/ crazy4maxima, and ckny. There were some interesting times, how many Maximas passed the IS300 when Toylet passed him ?(IS300 was WOT.)

-Must do it again.

 

when you say redesigned flywheel, you talking about shaving the stock one? if you are, how much was it, and how much you get shaved off, thanks

 

nope, as far as i know the it's the same stock flywheel. the dealer kept saying it was "redesigned" but couldn't really explain what was redesigned about it. heh. whatever.

 

I shall call it stage got rice?

 

I shall call you clutch God

 

ckny was DEFINITELY pullin hard on that mustang. it took a while for the lil bastard to come out and play though. maybe he was intimidated by all the maxes and toylets crazyy exhaust.

 

heh - all those maxes (mostly black) are pretty intimidating. not to mention toylets exhaust was probably louder than that mustangs flowmasters haha

 

All the burns were worth putting that muffler together, and re-doing the entire system.
