they told me i couldnt run through the water anymore to get a good 2nd gear burn out so traction was a bit worse than 2 weeks ago...but on the plus side im finally learning how to control my car enough for consistency. thank you guys for your help with my MS.

Doin work son. I was way too busy to come out yesterday :(
I can only imagine if you'd have some decent tires. (both the times AND the carnage lol)

 

yea... i need to start seam stitching my front end asap... the cracks on the stut towers to the firewall are getting bigger and its only a matter of time til i launch the front end off my car...

 

 

LOL, sick man. I love festiva swaps. Any videos of this thing on the streets, strip, or otherwise?

 

Yes. I'll post a few when I get time unless JT beats me to it.

 

Hell yeah, awesome. Also any info on your build/setup? I have a buddy that wants to build one of these. What kind of WHP are you at to run those 12's?

 

should be close to 300whpish. i forgot my laptop so i dont have data logs to go with the slips. last log of my 12.9's i was only around 40% throtlle in 1st, 50-60% in 2nd, and 3rd didnt get wot til around 5800-6000 rpm... damn street tires.

Your 60' times are horrible and with the MPH you are running at the 1/8th mile you should be in the 7.50-7.70 range. On my old set up which was a M45 based SC and a 50hp shot of Nitrous (@ 240rwhp) the car ran

60' ft 1.779
330' 5.293
594' 7.603
1/8th 8.108
1/8th MPH 83.46

That was on a set of 205mm wide NT01's that were somewhere well beyond shot. If you can work on your launch and shifting the car might actually be able to run in the 11's with your current set up.

 

yeah, but with a fwd adn street tire, it's crazy hard to get 2.0 60'.best ever in my mx-3 with gt35 trim t3t4 on a jdm gtr BP was 1.698 with a set of 15x10 MT slicks.

fastivab6tg25mr, how can you run consistent 12 sec dun withour fubar transmition/diff? aren't you running a g-type?
also, had you ever tried to launch in second gear?

 

Festivas have a terrible front suspension design also. Every time I'm at the track people say they can see my wheels moving to the front and back of my wheel wells when I launch.

He's gone through a bunch of transmissions and diffs.

 

i was breaking DOZEN of those with slicks.nothing to do.

if it's not the spidergear creating vent hole in the trasnmition casing, it's third gear that simply shread to nothingness.

i was piling up transmition during winter to be able to go abuse the car during summer, there is next to no alternative,and going for a mfactory or quaife lsd doesn't solve anything:(

best of luck, going mid12's with streeet tire if pretty impresive!

 

the toyota E153 is the answer to the trans problem in the protege world... too bad its way to wide t fit in my car... i have 1-2MM bethwwn my alt pulley and the frame rail and barely enough room to slide a piece of paper between my trans and the frame rail on the other side

 

i heard of that one once i sold my setup:(

 

nice, I drove a friends festiva with a turbo swap at the road track in the rain it was fun as hell... well until the car fogged up to the point I could not tell the session was flagged due to rain but I was still doing laps till I flagged myself ha for zero viability ha.

 

Uh, yeah.. wouldn't want you at any of my track days. Can't see the flag stations? Pit.

 

relax I was the only one on the track anyway because it was raining so hard. once they started seeing standing water they called the session, I did like one lap after they threw the flag.

 

Maybe you missed the part about the tires he's on or the throttle percentage used, read again before you offer advice.
Also you can't compare you're rwd times to his fwd, don't work like that. Maybe I should compare my gvr4 time slips to yours and make fun of and tell you if you learn to drive better, you could be as fast as I am? Lol

 

Where are they? I'd like to see them. Link?

 

they are scattered over the interwebz, but I think you'll find a few if you search youtube for user name aintnobitchms lol
