sinister you have any idea what times he aiming for?
about stuff that you really know about Kodak, go pro, cannon, Nikon etc.
sol1 wrote:Just for your information, which you have wrong on many occasions, more than 80% of that perfection i.e mechanical and race car foundation came from SCORPION, yes Singh has done the peripheral work and with quality however if Scorpion built the chassis, suspension, ENGINE complete with the installation of all the above mentioned including down pipe, drive shaft, wheelie bar, parachute which is by the way, way to small to collect the sheit that comes out of your head, transmission, coil system, front coil over system and all the goodies on Chris's car then i think he should be mentioned and not left out because you choose to paint your own picture. What you should really do is try to mingle in your own circles and speak about stuff that you really know about Kodak, go pro, cannon, Nikon etc. you get my drift.
By the way you did not mention the exceptional body job, what happen no credit to the painter, anyway maybe you were so busy fulling parachutes that you forgot to mention that, so you are excused.
GIVE CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE, SCORPION WORKED VERY HARD ON THAT CAR AND NO LITTLE HIGHWAY HUSTLER SHOULD DISCREDIT ANYBODY.
N.B The next time you running from the police on the highway and you decide to run into the wrong vehicle make sure its not someone you have been playing word games with on Forums YUH UNDERSTAND PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They also retained the stock firewall which means the car is front heavy which will not work 100% especially at full boost in the top end where you will need good traction on the rear wheels.

Fella, yuh eh some kinda kakahole orwah? Who the firetruck fighting down the man? The car IS NOT SAFE for the speed is was built to run at and I'm pointing out the obvious before it's to late..
breds, it's a poorly constructed 1st gen with a 2jz, what's there to tote?
as obvious as it may be..."too late"? you really feel anybody studyin you dan? rotfl where alyuh does come out from bai calleocho wrote:ok mr safety! BTW, was ur best time?

Retaining the stock firewall forward is not a problem... Chris built a 1/2 chassis car, meaning he only replaced from the stock rear crossmember back.. Everything in front of the rear crossmember stays 100% original. I've seen 13b powered 1/2 chassis 1st gen run 7.70's all day long, so this type of chassis will definitely take Chris into the 7's providing it's build & setup correctly..
3/4 chassis cars also retain their stock firewall & strut towers, but the entire floor is replaced.. That's what the white car above has. 3/4 chassis Imports like Brent Raw & a few rotarys had been in the 6.90's zone quite a few times. Those chassis's are certified to be good up to 6.00
Often times fellas with a money get taken for a ride by mechanics who claim to be "experienced"... Just a few weeks ago a rotary man in Trinidad contacted me about some parts. My first question to him was "what are your goals".. Knowing his goals, I'll be able to tell him if yuh wasting he money on the parts he's after.. He said 1000+ HP on a 13b. He said the mechanic who is also tuning it, is "handling it man".. Mind you, I herd from other sources that the mechanic in question is a "smart man" and he eheven capable of tuning to 600hp.. Yuh see what I'm getting at here? There are plenty mechanics out there that will use their customers money & enthusiasm to experiment.
Making 1200 hp in a 13b is doable, but this guy thinks it's easy because he was sold a pipe dream by his mechanic.
There are dozens of online forums to read and ask questions fellas.. Get a 2nd opinion from guys that have done it day in and day out, rather than take your mechanic word for it.. Not because yuh mechanic "always in Miami" or liming with fellas with fast cars mean that's he's capable of offering the same results.
This post is not directly to any specific mechanic.. If yuh offended, then UDFR

what you posted was merely you advice or opinion on a matter, based on a certain level of experience. im not saying ur right, im just saying what you said didn't warrant a warning.
anyway... bottom line.. we'll all see what happens next weekend
and btw...which big belly injun you talkin about?...there're MANY o.O
RoTaRyBoYz wrote:No it wouldn't make a difference whether it be a 13b or 2jz because you need to use the right spring rates to compensate for the added weight up front.. The ideal weight ratio for a drag car is 52-53% rear & 47-48% front.. Also the front spring rates are usually double that of the rear.. Suspension travel limiters on the stock front struts will also help to keep the weight transferred to the rear on launch. Vehicle balance, spring rate, strut length & dampening plays a key roll on how you get the power down... I didn't think the length of the front strut mattered until 2 former pro stock cars were fitted with rotary engines and they were very unstable on the top end.. After crashing both cars, they figured out that the lighter engines required a shorter strut.. Called up strange, get their shorter unit and problem solved.. I'm far from being an expert on the subject, but I have some knowledge on the basic setup because I've been with my friend on various chassis tuning trips.. He's considered a "master" chassis tuner in the Sport compact world, with various customers in Australia & in the US.. His 13b cars are doing consistent 1.02 - 1.06 60ft times, so I guess he knows a thing or 2, but he still can't check an email
This is my last reply in this matter... Apparently someone involved with this car don't want me to point out the obvious as I have received a warning.. I ain't fraid of no big belly injun, but it pays to be quiet at times even when you know there's a problem..

You, me & everyone else that notified me of the "situation" said the same thing, but apparently the "builder" took it the wrong way... Me eh business with he, I gave my opinion based on what I saw so tough luck to whoever vex.. Keep it locked in ah garage if yuh don't want ah honest opinion
Looking forward to the video Christian.. Try to get an onboard camera on it as well *thumbs up*
