About 2 weeks ago, I attended a track rental and ended up throwing some cameras on a friends car he was testing out. Car moves for what it has. He upped the shot so it is blowing through the converter on spray, but on a smaller shot has gone 9.40's letting out and coasting...
Well, for some reason most of the links to the pics in the original build thread are down, and I don't feel like going through 100 pics and re-linking them, So i'm just gonna start a new thread with progress from this point on.
Original build thread here (alot of pics are missing)...
Haven't posted in awhile. I know some people like build threads, Especially since most are either switching camps, or cross-breeding. So I thought I'd share mine, which is finally making headway. Anyhoo, I bought a 1983 LTD wagon off craigslist back in August 2012. Strictly for the drivetrain to...
Little vid I threw together from yesterdays track outting. Tried some new camera angles and whatnot... Enjoy.

Little vid from the track yesterday.. It's amazing what this dinosaur of a motor (by today's standards at least) is doing with a very basic setup, and in full street trim minus slicks + gas..

Went up to the track this weekend, one of my buddies was gonna help his friend with his N20 tuneup. Hasn't been at the track for 7 years, and the motor was built in early 2003. This car is a dinosaur for all intents and purposes.. it defies logic that it can cut 1.29 short time with an auburn...

Let me precursor this short vid by saying the blue car is/was/will always be a nitrous car.. it's an absolute sled on motor.. car has gained about 250lbs if not more from rear end bracing, spool, cage, anti roll bar...
I have been fighting issues with this car all season.. finally got everything sorted out, went to the track at the last possible day for this season, and the motor was blowing oil something fierce.. We knew a rebuild was due after a compression test netted 2 cylinders down over 50psi of...
Corny Vid, I know, but props to those Honda kids, for lining up, and not bitching about wanting cars, or even so much as looking under the hood, no BS, no drama, just get out there and get it done.

Been chasing traction/stability issues at the track (car would love to try and hit whatever wall it felt was proper at the time) and finally solved them.. The rear, built in 2006, need a bit of help from a good ol' fashion spool/33 spline lightweight axles, and supporting mods.. As the eaton...
That CTS-V freaking shuffles.. He did take about 6-7* of timing out of it.. but it is still a fast freaking car. My old Hatch is loving the big boy pills.. only problem is trying to hook off the hit on 17' rims from a rolling start.. we kinda went into the CTSv's lane in the 2nd run :nono...
Quick run.. nothing major.. My old car gets revenge on me during a test hit... No excuses, all in good fun.. A chase is a race!
Listen at 0:08.. you can hear the shot come on from inside my car, lol.
For reference, the wagon is a 10.90/11.0 @124-125mph car on nuts

This was bound to happen sooner or later. Just some friendly runs on motor to see where we sit. I did the best I could with the footage because we had no passengers. More daytime footage to come. After the track this Friday im switching the n20 setup to a fogger I already have, and keeping my...
Almost ate it, got out of groove, but going back soon. Suffice to say, wasn't expecting the car to do what it did. Setup is run exactly as I run in on the street (minus borrowed slicks), on pump gas, splash of torco. Flung the serp belt this pass, had to wait until they closed to walk track and...
So my cousins came up for thanksgiving, and I had to show them a good time, decided to rip the wagon up for abit.

Picked up a running donor car for the drivetrain to swap into my fox, but decided to keep it together, as the car is just plain awesome. :banana:
I present: The Shaggin' Wagon

Another fun little Sunday matchup.
The G8 got a N20 kit since the last races, and the CTS-V had to go in for service @ the dealer, so he flashed it back to stock, this made for a much better matchup vs. the Coyote
Enjoy!:banana:

Little precursor to this race: My boy just came back from Iraq, thankfully, but ever since he went, he's been running his mouth about how his GT28 Audi TT will run with my fox, and I mentioned my boy's near stock 5.0, he said, "Oh, I got that all day". So suffice to say this vid was made during...
Ok.. so little precursor before this vid was taken. One of our friends was trying to set up a run last night, and it fell thru. Then @ about 1am this kid wants to run. My friend had been drinking. I don't drink, so he throws me the keys and tells me to race. First time driving a new 5.0.. only...
Well I finally got my car running after 2 1/2 years... and well... TO HELL with break in periods.. I only had a 10 day temp plate (emissions wont allow me to register fully, but 25 year exemption is in January:banana:) So with that said.. I got carb dialed in best I could without dyno.. and went...
1:30-1:39 = epic win.... passing someone like there standing still while smoking the tires the entire straight! :banana::banana::banana:
