it might make it easier to understand why it was done if it produces results

i fail to see where the safety comes into play....if he is builing a shield for it then this is no different then those people that put a motor in the rear set of their car to make a fwd car into a rwd.

That would make it approximately 967.4 times more retarded if after all that retarded **** he was stuck in the 13s. I'm a firm believer of "don't rock the boat" and "if it ain't broke don't fix it" and that dude capsized the boat and tried to fix the hell out of it...

That setup is so asinine it is beyond belief. I can't fathom what cocktail of drugs he must have taken that convinced them that having a turbo kit installed where your passenger seat should be was a good idea.

If that car ran 8s it would be slightly less retarded, but not much. The compromises he had to make to do that are in my view both astronomical and unacceptable to any halfway normal person. But maybe I'm just too conservative lol.

if he ran 8's he would be the fastest maxima eva....


maybe he has no friends so the extra seat is just dead weight
and the cocktail of drugs he took had one pill....one pill labeled boost.

Would it be easier to understand if 13s were already done w/ the pass seat and floorboard still attached?

A ridiculous setup is a ridiculous setup regarless of the times he's getting.

It would be a sad day if he got into an accident, and he was trapped in the car with one of those hot pipes pressing onto a limb.

Even people building drag cars, know the importance of safety. This setup could have been done a long time ago by a number of people except they realize the hazzard having the turbo and piping right next to the driver.

if you think low 13's is an accomplishment after all that work and fab, I would disagree with you.
