Draaag Racing.
 

Well, i got my car out to the strip for the first time since i went to the 1.8L. the best i got on the b16, was a 15.4, with an AEM CAI, and a 6-puck that would spin the tires into and through 3rd, and deep into 4th. now, on the b18, i only have a cone filter stuck into the end of the stock pipe, and an Exedy S1 and 9.46# flywheel.


1st run was still kinda warm out, and i was trying to figure out how to launch, and spun the tires too much. i ran a 15.222@95.2mph.

next run was a little better, only spun the tires a little, and it felt solid, though i think i revved out of my powerband a little. good for a 15.009@95.3mph.

next was a soft launch, very small bog, but then went perfect. 14.867@95.9mph.

next was a clean run, small slip of the tires, then great shifts all the way through. went for a best of 14.861@94.0mph.

after that, i got jittery, and botched the next 2 runs, so i went home.


all in all, it was a good night, ran a personal best, talked to a few cool people, and had fun. and didnt break anything.:D

lol well thats all u can really ask for. Now add a few more mods and see if u can work on that time!

RE: Draaag Racing.
 

The whole not breaking anything is a victory in itself. If I buy a DSM (like I've been wanting to for years), I'll think something is wrong if I don't break anything.

RE: Draaag Racing.
 

yea ive heard horror stories from ppl with old school lazers and talons.

RE: Draaag Racing.
 

The main problem with them is the drivers though. They bolt on turbos that make twice the power as the stock one and they still drive it like it's stock. The car itself, in stock form, is reliable. The one that I've been looking at hasn't had anything wrong with it and was treated right. I know because the previous two owners are my friends. Here's a picture in case anyone was interested.

ive always thought they were girley looking.........the AWD turbo is tempting though......they are damn fast cars.

Have fun with crankwalk ^_^

RE: Draaag Racing.
 

Yeah, 2G 4G63's have a penchant for crankwalk, but it's nothing that can't be remedied. The first gen DSM's are actually built better mechanically, and the turbo/BOV are both a lot stronger. The engines can hold close to 400 on stock internals if done correctly, so like se7en said, it's not an issue with the car; it's an issue with the driver. The problem is, most people think those engines are invincible, so they bolt up 20G's, throw a rod, and blame it on the car. Too many DSM haters in the world, I say. :D

RE: Draaag Racing.
 

se7en whats he want for that one? and where is it located.

RE: Draaag Racing.
 

Well, the car is not currently for sale, but should be in the winter when he finds a VR-4. I would say around or below $8k. Located in St. Louis, Missouri. Very good mechanical shape, never been red-lined. 14.40 @ 96 is the current, best timeslip.

RE: Draaag Racing.
 

Under $8k for a pristine 2G DSM turbo???? [sm=smiley3.gif][sm=smiley3.gif] Only if you steal it... He could easily get $15k for it.

RE: Draaag Racing.
 

Ehh, it's pretty high mileage. Over 100k on a 1997. Still not bad though. My friend Kyle owned the car for a few years and in January he sold it to my friend Luke for $8k even. Oh well, cheap price= good. Here are the goodies, or at least most of them.

RE: Draaag Racing.
 

Wow. I'd snatch that up if I were you. My friend charlie had a 96 GSX with nothing but 40% tint, H&R sports, and an Evo II, and he sold it for $15k

RE: Draaag Racing.
 

damn, my buddy bought a 98 Talon AWD turbo, with like 48k, and probably one of the cleanest used cars ive ever seen, for 8k.
