Ready for tech this comming weekend for the IDRC East Coast Nationals!

 

 

Looks good. Finally took the plunge, huh? Any changes to your setup now? How come you still have the passenger seat in?

Hey, we have the same shift ****

 

 

haha, this is so bad ***. i love it. looks good Matt.

 

Your on the way to having your very own 11 sec. maxima.

Back on topic looks great can't wait to see the times.

 

looks nice matt!

 

Except mine isn't even a 5-speed

Come on Matt, answers

 

wow!! look awesome

 

looks good.

 

The install looks good, but I wouldn't exactly put a "Pro Street" label on your car as that class typically means your car is running high 6's at over 200MPH, and most times must be capable of running 7.99 quarter mile or quicker ET's.

Good luck with everything though.

 

Looks like you've kept busy, and looks sweet. Good luck this weekend.

 

Good work Matt. What day are you going to be running at MIR? I may make the trip up.

 

Haha thats awesome, first time I seen a roll cage in a max! Propz!

 

Not really, I30krab has had one for years.. good work Mardis looks nice..

 

No major changes. Boost-A-Pump is in. Bigger nitrous jet.

I should be at MIR Friday night 6/23 for a few shake down runs. Then on Sunday 6/25 for the IDRC race.

Its not a cage, just a 5 point. A cage isnt needed until 9.99. I think Rons is just a 4 point roll bar IIRC? So it wouldnt be legal at the track. The front tie in makes getting in and out very interesting. I have a swing out kit I need to put on.

Its about as pro street as a maxima will get By the numbers Real Street is a better discription I guess.

 

so with the boost a pump you have no more pump problems or they still exist?

 

First time I SAW one. From what Mardi said, it's not even a full cage, but still the first time I personally saw one.

 

I need to run it to be sure, but I should be okay with fuel to 140mph or so.

 

If you're are going to be at MIR on sunday I'll be there too with the camera. I cant wait to see what you run.

 

Just curious, why did you keep the factory seats and not smaller lighter racing seats?

 

looks F'ing hot.. what times do you want to hit?

 

$$$$$$$$$$


Bags, I want to run as fast as I can. Looking for consistant mid/high 10's.

 

I know of several tracks around here that do not care what you have done. No rules. Don't spend more money on safety items, just move next time...lol. Looks good.

 

Yeah capitol raceway up here sucks when it comes to inspections. The guy doesn't even check my car he just writes the number on it goes to the next car. I could have a 200 shot running 11's and they would never know.

 

You start rinning 11s they will get to know you and will look. If you want to run at big events they will look at you good. I ran a few 11.4s they day they were having a big bracket racing event at MIR and thats when they hit me up for the roll bar and stuff. They were all very nice about it but I just think they couldnt stand a maxima woopin up on the mass of hot rod bracket cars their that day so they shut me down

In reality, the bottom line is that I owe it to my wife and three kids to be as safe as possible.

 

Now that's one of the best comments I've ever witnessed on the org. Propz on that man!

Actually my roll bar is welded to the frame at 6 places!

 

Hi Ron, can you post some pictures of yours please?

 

That cage be hawt and doesn't allow for much reclining

 

Hi Matt,

I'll try to get my son over with his digital camera.
Meanwhile your car looks great and I hope it kicks a*s at the track!

 

PRO PIMP GO KICK SUM AMERICAN MUSCLE BUTT! Its on now! Looks good. Looking like a drag car on the inside. Congrats on your success. Keep it up. Hope to see you on T.V very soon, maybe on Superstreet, Modified or one of these awesome mags.

 

Hey mardi, like the old saying say " Better be safe than sorry "

Good stuff, lets give those mustang a ride for their money. Lol

 

You can get RCI race seats for like 60 or 70 bucks shipped each. They weight 12 or 13 pounds each and come with a leather-like cover. They look pretty good. Jime has them. The stock seats weight between 50 and 55 lbs each. That would take off almost 100% of the weight you added with the roll bar.

Yeah but most tracks that don't follow the rules haven't heard of VHT and track prep.

 

Looking good! When are you gonna get to 9.99?

 

My manual seats weight 29 lbs for the drivers side and only 20lbs for the passenger side- these are CLOTH, fully manual no power adjustment GXE seats.

Mardi- great job on the cage, I might do the same to keep my body from flexing durring road racing. Good luck out there and stay safe !

 

The passenger seat in my 96 GXE was 44lbs... cloth and manual.

 

Not in my experience so much. My best 60' time was at a podunk track with a guy saying "hi, you're all set to go" while writing my number on the car. Overall there's no appreciable difference in my 60' times from Rt 66, Norwalk, Stanton, and US131 (the strict tracks I've run at) vs Milan, US41, GLD, Byron, Osceola, and Lapeer. Thunderbird was definately worse but that is because that track is just a complete joke in every respect, they don't even have a website I don't think.

 

Nice Mardi! Good luck at the track!
