92 Laser AWD

.599
1.98 60 ft.
7.9@92
12.1@120mph.

Replaced Valve Cover gasket today....I obviously did somthing wrong, MAJOR oil leak owned my ass!! Damn I coulda had about 3 more runs too.
Ive seen DSM's run 11.5 with that trap. Im just to much a puss to launch it after doing 2 trannies in 1 month!
DAMN So close...........BTW I looked at the DSM times page and theres no other 18g with that trap :)

No N2o. I was running 24 psi. Funny thing is the Junk yard only had a 92 elantra for the valve covers so they Say "Hyandai".
I had all these kids coming up and saying " DUDE hes got a Motor swap!" LOL x 100,000,000,000,000,000,000.

Once I get my new tranny from TRE, Ill launch like Im supposed to.I think we all know how much a PIA it is doing an AWD tranny swap by yourself with only a tire jack, 2 blocks and basic hand tools.................2 times in 1 month.
 
I've never been to the track and I definitely don't have a fast car, but cutting your reaction time would help, you're almost a full second over, but if you're trying to save your tranny then don't worry about it, nice times though

AWD? Why AWD? You have a Spyder correct?

Yea, you obviously haven't been to the track, since you don't know that reaction times don't effect anything except who will win the race (if anything). :D

He said this was in the 92 AWD at the top of the post, get that 60 ft down :D
 
To break a tranny or not to break a tranny? That is the question?

You could CRUSH those 60 foots by a Quarter second.

Or you could find yourself pushing your car away as they burn your gear oil off the track. While all the GMers stand around and talk shit about how much our cars suck. Then your not only the dick that stopped the action for a half of an hour, but your also kickin up bucks for a new gear box.:mad:


I say launch at 5000, take your chances and earn you a solid 11 second time slip. :D
 
dont forget about shifting. i was getting 1.8's and 109 traps but no better than 13.0 times. my shifting is really slow and my tranny sucks in 2nd and 3rd.
