Default i need help. ideas. lets talk

ok fellas. a certain ricer at my local track got under my skin for certain reasons.

his car is a 96 awd eagle talon. he has dual power adders. turbo and spray.

the other night at the track he won't doing ****. i made a comment about his tag (i8urv8) and he got all butthurt. he was running a 13.8. blah blah. he is capable of 11.5's

well, after further review, i'm butthurt cause he got butthurt and now i am ready to shut his *** up.


this is the ultimate weight shavings thread.

gone will be the a/c (i can refill it), any brackets not needed, all seats but mine, exhaust...

don't have hitch or spare or sprare stuff. stereo stuff will come out and i'll be on little to no gas. what else is there to remove.

oh yea, i am going in the am to get a short belt. if i had a 6.0 with similar mods i'd swap motors to beat him. no money is involved but he is cocky.

great minds of pt.net. think.....!!!!!

I found out for a fact the car has run 11.5's. You will have your work cut out for you John.
One thing for sure, find some stock wheels for the front to run at the track.

i have my nissan wheels to run on the front. granted they aint perty but they will fit.

i plan on spraying a 200 shot. maybe more. i have a fjo wideband controller on the way.

interior will be stripped. i need to redo my stereo wires anyway so it aint like i am waisting time




yea randy, i know what he runs. currently he has a busted trans. by the sake of his mommy and daddy's money he has a new one, i'll be i hope 500 lbs lighter. would like to have a bigger cube motor but that depends on litreddevil. even for a few passes. i'll go through the trouble for this ***.

nope, race is run what you brung. i'll spray the nitrous. i'll run race gas. i'm even letting someone else drive.

if i can't find a donor motor for the weekend, then i'll run the 5.3. granted, i'll probably lose but all i want to do is be close. then the **** talk can commence. i don't expect to run his best time.
