not too much farther out, shooting for 3000lbs with driver race weight. 700-750hp to the tire, shooting for 8s at 150+ in this tin can budget car on a china turbo and stock bottom end 5.3 with stock heads and stock truck intake.

 

Awesome work so far. Love the oil pan drain plug. Can't wait to see f5 getting it done home build style.

 

This looks like the best fairmont yet. Can't wait to see this on the track.

 

Love the Fairmont, nice build.

 

That truck pan mod is cool... too much for me to attempt though. I'm assuming you modified the pickup tube also?

EDIT: hmm..well.. maybe I'll try. Can you post more pics of the pan mod and then the pickup tube also?

 

Good to see you back at it.

275 radial pro's mounted today, fit amazing on these 15x10 6.5 bs billet specialties wheels, just had to roll the lip for them to fit.

 

Those wheels are tits

 

Is this your first real shot at 8s?

 

yep the other cars were just to see how fast junk would go, this time i wanna see what it takes to go 8s

we put my friends car into the 7s a few weeks ago

 

looking good

 

looks good !

 

Since you take chances on ebay parts upgrades like the head studs have you thought to try some of those dirt cheap full roller rockers I've seen on there? 1.8's and 1.9's for like $150 a set. If you make them work then the rest will follow suit or just for the F of it I'll buy that stuff and let everyone know about it. Especially since I plan to street drive 99% of the time which is harder on parts than to just race with them.

 

Another fun weekend I see - well done

 

You using megasquirt on this build too?

 

Microsquirt.

 

sick looking forward to f5

 

sweet build man...cant wait to see it finished

 

this thing screams stupid fun I like it

 

is this build not going to have big boogered up welds and wires strung all over the place?
