Congrats!! Formula's are the ****!

Do you have travel limiters?

They took my car from draging the bumper to 1' wheelies.

Good luck. Nice car !

 

we dont need no stinking limiters. lol i think he does have them tho

 

HAHAHA !

Us poor people need them.

Headers, oil pans, tranny cases are $$$$$$$$$$$

Limiters are like $75

 

Yeah I think you certainly have a lot of wasted motion man. As much as I hate to say it! It is cool seeing a car carry the wheels that confidently without letting up. Been a while since I saw some cool wheelies like that. Your car is definately one of the cleanest put together cars Ive seen in a LONG TIME! Glad to see when people take pride in their cars and aren't just shooting for a number.

 

haha, us poor people buying big stuff 3 running 40" trailers. lol come on now.

i have them, i just didnt have them intime for the race. lol
i dont want to put them in anyway, im going to do bars i think. welding them in will make my paint on my wheel wells look bad and we cant have that. lol

 

Congrats! The car's looking good!

 

Nah.. I will see how much I can get done with 250 or 300. I think the goal for next year is attainable with a 300 shot. I dont feel like rebuilding the motor too often....


I was working good except for when I tried ramping in the power faster I'll be out next year for sure and it WILL be figured out.


Yes, Formulas are the **** I have travel limiters set as tight as I can get them, 2.4 inches of suspension travel. The front shocks are also set on 12 clicks (full tight). I still pulled them up 3-4 feet on my last pass (9.0 pass). On the 8.94 pass the wheels came up about 1.5 feet or so, with only 40hp starting on the progressive unit. The pass when they came up 3-4 feet, I was launching with 120hp starting on the progressive.


This saturday was nothing compared to my previous weekends at Byron. The frontend was going so high there I had to lift. And I rode the bumper twice up there.


Yeah yeah yeah Yes I sold my other street car this spring and bought a 40' hallmark Edge trailer Ive learned my lesson before, build it right the first time.... It took 2 years to build this car, and it took longer cause I wanted the BS3, 4 stage dry sump, and all the "right" things. etc etc

I will be doing wheelie bars this winter too. Just need to figure out who I will have make them.

 

Really sweet looking ride. Congrates on the new time.

Video link is now in the first post

 

That is one nice looking car. Very sweet!

 

Here is another video that I made yesterday. It shows 3 of my passes from last saturday. I made couple of other ones but they were only test passes.

New video link Cordova 2007 license passes

 

for some reason i can not view. any one else?

 

download it. i couldnt view it in my browser either.

 

It should work, I have downloaded it numerous times

 

Now you see why you were wasting all your time with that hunk of junk LT1.

 

Exactly...... I finally saw the light and switched



Best thing I EVER did was listen to you fools

 

Your 8.94 video plays fine on my computer but when I play your Cordova-MFBA video I get sound and a scrambled video. Could just be my computer though im using my old crappy computer with a old version of Windows Media Player since my good one took a dump.

 

i cant get it to work either. What did you encode it with, and what are you using to play it with?? i cant get either video to work in media player

 

The 8.94 video should work fine. Its the other one that I am not sure on. When I finalized the video, I think it was mpeg-2. I am going to reformat it tomorrow into actual windows media file, wmv file type. SHould play for everyone then.

yeah. I just downloaded Elecard MPEG-2 Decoder & Streaming Pack 3 from download.com. Its a trial, but it lets you view mpeg-2 formats in media player. Video works like a charm then!!! Nice vids dude! i was there to see the first 2 passes, but missed that last one there.
