Went to the dragstrip today. (protip: don't go to the dragstrip.)
First run, I wheelhopped badly at the launch, missed 5th, and still went 13.9 at 98mph.
Second run: :bang: |
"its probably the rear end"
Dont forget to mention you were on the nt01's as well |
dam that sucks... At least you hit the 13.9 tho.
|
:mad:

I had a premonition about this.
|

|

Maybe you'll luck up and something didn't break. Maybe your broke the R&P and cracked the case, but your torsen survived, or something like that. I have a few questions for you about that rear end so maybe others can learn. Did you install the torsen in it? What backlash and preload were your running? This isn't what I want to see as I want to weld my rear end...

Yep, I think drag racing is harder on the car than just about anything. That launch is so abusive, yet so critical. I say you pick up an open 1.8 rear and weld it up. Then you'll have your drag racing rear ready to bolt up. :bigtu:

RX7 clutch type is in your future.

I like your reaction:
"I'm going to go buy some parts." Track guy: "Yep!" man, that sucks. my dad just blew the 1.6 open in his miata (stock power mind you), and it sounded a bit like that. |

From cousins AE86 . . bought the car like that . . from what i could hear in your vid, they sounded nearly identical. :sad2: |
