[seawalkersee]

WOW...Travis, the jokes that ran through my mind when I read that.... Jason, are you adding an additional cooler to the factory one? Are you replacing the RAD with a factory replacement?

Chris

[2TonCat]

He's got a tube and fin unit that wouldn't be good enough to do it on its own, and as of now, he doesn't have an aftermarket rad... I think he's just wanting to put a factory unit in there, and plumb the cooler in on the return line.

[sinhumane]

ehhh.. you said unit.... lol. i think january, if we can find a weekend that its not crappy out, we'll do it. no problemos. :D

[35thauto]

ehhh.. you said unit.... lol. i think january, if we can find a weekend that its not crappy out, we'll do it. no problemos. :D

you Dum* A**....he also said "do it" ......

[thunderbird96]

yea im adding an extra cooler like i did on my 96
I am installing a new radiator from my old job.It's a all metal csf brand radiator.

[2TonCat]

Is it the same dimensions as your stock radiator? same locations for Tranny input/outputs? I'd rather not bend the hard lines too much if we don't have to.

[sinhumane]

ehhhhehehhe... you said 'hard line'

yeah, jason was telling me it was an oem replacement... should be a snap! :)

[Melon]

Before the new radiator goes in, get the lines ready to hook up to the new aux cooler. It'll be easier with it out than waiting til it's back in the car.

-Melon

[thunderbird96]

I have the radiator know. Then afterwards we can grab dinner at the local steakhouse there are ton's of new resterant's know 5 min from my house.

[thunderbird96]

hot damn she runs
hey ryan ready for a little fun. hmm
this weekend ryan gets smoked a second time. lol

[Melon]

I love how Jason talks smack on the board, but doesn't back it up in person.

-Melon

[thunderbird96]

no me and ryan have been dieing to run again when we got our cars running again. we both are know but know the weather is going to ~~~~ us.

[2TonCat]

Very true. Weather sucks. I'd love to get some clean runs in, but I don't think we will for a while.... Have to wait until we get some nice warm nights.

[351cat]

Very true. Weather sucks. I'd love to get some clean runs in, but I don't think we will for a while.... Have to wait until we get some nice warm nights.

1. EFI Cars run better w/ cold weather

2. I'd smoke you both, WITH 3.08's AND all kinds of wheelhop :p:D

[2TonCat]

K, we'll hit the autocross track then.

[351cat]

K, we'll hit the autocross track then.

DOH! lol.

I've always wanted to do it, but i would be slow prolly.

[2TonCat]

Dood... You've got a manual transmission, and a big torquey motor... Get eibachs and KYBs like us, and you'd domniate.

[351cat]

Dood... You've got a manual transmission, and a big torquey motor... Get eibachs and KYBs like us, and you'd domniate.

My current problem is... CAR > DRIVER get my meaning, lol?

I dont have experience driving anything other than city streets and freeways in this car. Ive only raced on a drag strip once, and that was in a 4 banger camry (was for fun, dont laugh) and i've never been on an auto x track... I did find out that this car does like to drift a lil bit. Got in it a lil to much on a clover leaf on-ramp, it was fun. :) I've only ever had slow cars, so never got any experience driving fast. i WILL be getting some time in when the local strip opens though

[2TonCat]

Don't think we're experts lol....

only experiance I have is from thrashing the damn thing, and riding the dirtbike. Oh, and I LOVE go-kart tracks.

[35thauto]

If you know your car you will do well, I was worried the 1st time I drove a solo2 & I beat the other 2 drivers in 96/97 LX V8's if only by 1 second. I can make better time if my EVO P/S limiter was choking my quick turns in the zig-zag. Solo2 will let you know how good a driver you are.

[traveler]

I'm VERY anxious to find out how the GT does in the Twisties. The LE had Eibachs, Sport shocks, and the SC sway bars. It had the stock 225/60/16's on it. The GT has the Eibachs and SC sway bars, + KYB shocks, some suspension bracing, and the big, sticky 255/50/17's on it. And if all goes well, by this spring it'll have the 3.55's in it as well. Then we'll see if you can beat this V8. :D

[2TonCat]

The only thing I'd beat it at is a burnout contest.

[Melon]

Then we'll see if you can beat this V8. :D

Is that an open challenge? :D

-Melon

[2TonCat]

Is that an open challenge? :D

-Melon

OOOHHHHHH SCHNAP!

[351cat]

I think he was talking to me, lol.

[Melon]

It's all good :D Mine was an open offer :cool:

-Melon

[351cat]

Melon,

Do you know what your car runs in the quarter? the 94, that is. Just curious...

I would line up next to ya in the quarter, i dont know about auto-x though, i still have stock suspension as of now... cept the poly diff bushings.

[Melon]

14.5-14.6 but it's been a while since I've been to the track so may take a few runs to get there again.

-Melon

[351cat]

cool, i cant wait to see what i can do. Hopefully i get get my alum. intake on have somebody tune everything for me and i'll be a lil faster than i am now... I'm hopin for 14's on street tires... I'm inexperienced (my RT sux) so i dunno.

[2TonCat]

Unfortunately for Jason, reaction time doesn't effect your ET ;)

In theory, I should be very high 14s if I hook.
