Sloppy Mechanics

swapped cam gears today

so i found out recently i was using the wrong cam gear, this whole time, i used a page on lingenfelters website, where it showed what cam gear is needed with each year motor car, cam etc, and well i was using the 4x event gear, for the 58tooth motor, when i should have had the 1x, with the 24tooth motor that i have, oh well, i swapped it in today and guess what the car starts normally, everytime now, oh well, i cant beleive the car actually ran lol

dyno'd the fairmont on kill tonight

new street shoes

wild last pass in the fairmont

welp worked on the nitrous and boost controller in the 8th today, track could have been better but at least i got my boost controller sorted out and where i want i have her set on 21lbs right now basically, i made 10 passes over 100 in the 8th easy today, one of them was a 107mph on boost only on a 2.0 60ft...

last pass was after someone oiled down the track and they cleaned up it was like 42deg and the track was cold and i juiced a tiny bit off the line and cut a 1.8 so nitrous is working good, just gotta try some things, the car is a hand full to say the least.

i turn off the spray in 2nd gear and keep it pinned and it was spinning and wandering bad, so i chopped it and straitened it out and then said fuck it and shifted 3rd and planted it, since i figured teh track was shot and i wouldnt make anymore passes, it went 1.8 60ft, went only 103 in the 8th because of traction, then i went 11.03 @ 134mph out the back lol car is a rocket. just need some more work and passes.

nitrous kit finished on the fairmont

a 75whp shot in there right now to help spool the turbo and kick it off the line, gunna try it in 1st gear, see how it does, and up or down the size of the shit depending on how she launches.

installed nitrous on the fairmont

to help this car out of the hole because i dont have a big stall, a little juice will surely help it 60ft lol

fairmont weekend upate

warning i am speaking at the speed of light and didnt even realize it, like im on meth or something...

todays fun with the turbo cars

drove these two around a bunch today, worked on the suspension on the Ventura, also wanted to show some pictures of the Bed liner paint job.

then we changed the oil in the fairmont, bled the front brakes, undercoated it, and installed a class 3 trailer hitch from a E250 van corey had laying around hahahha.

drivetrain, hotside, coolant system, cold side, done

completely reubuilt 8.8 rear, summit tubular uppers and lowers, subframes, turbo hotside, coldside, exhaust ( i added a muffler) intercooler tabs welded in, piping in, some wiring done, really getting there!

fairmont first day at the track!

got booted!

raced the car today!

first pass, well first 200 ft i hit boost cut at 22lbs, so i quickly jumped out, took the line off the top of the gate and ran 14lbs off the bottom only, next time i lined up i let her go easy 2.0 60ft. and short shifted and it went strait as an arrow down the track, ill have the video up soon but they stopped me at the doghouse and told me to go strait to tech inspection lol (meaning i was done for the day)

ready to race update

tires and dusted the IC black

painted the intercooler and piping in the front end so its less visible.

also going to get the rims for these slicks tomorrow and try and test fit them by the end of the day.

tires!

maybe these will help with the traction...
