Inferno. Race now?!
 

Sorry this should be a PM, but Carlsbad is open tomorrow and I am avaliable and he hasn't read the PM I sent him.

If you want a piece of me, let me know. Tonight Heck, I'm not even sure if you're still in CA.:confused:

Re: Inferno. Race now?!
 

DOH!:eek:

]if this does happen, someone bring a video camera!!

I didn't see this thread until today(Saturday). If I left right now, I wouldn't get there until after 12 and I don't know if they let cars in that late to race. I am going to still be in So Cal next weekend after all so maybe next weekend.

No problem. I am around next Saturday too, so check your PM for details.

SRV,
Maybe Sky or Keith can come with a Camera.

i hope someone gets it on tape! that would be cool of 2 members going at it also foriegn vs. domestic.:D

Mustang GT vs. Supra! What does each car run in a quartermile? Any money at stake?

'97 Mustang GT vs. '84 Supra! What does each car run in a quartermile? Deuce, I read you run mid to high 15's, is this true? Any times for Inferno's Supra? Those Import guys are slick. Anything to embarrass a V8. Any money at stake or just bragging rights?

Heeh, this is going to be interesting.:D

We are keeping all the details in pm's so that people don't start talking ****. We'll post the results afterwords.

Inferno, I remember the 84 Supra being pretty quick but I don't remember them being that fast.. then again, I never rode in one either. If your getting that kinda hp out of the mods you list, it will open my eyes. Seriously, if its that close... WOW!

I have a japanese engine swap. It is a 3 liter instead of the normal 2.8.

Ahhhh... well then, pardon me:D

DEUCE, be careful!!!
 

I did a little research on these 7M-GTE swaps into older Supras. It's a 3.0 L twin cam turbo inline 6 motor. With a 4.10 rear gearset and a HKS F-Con and EVC, one Supra owner ran a 12.7 quartermile. Be careful you're not getting in over your head. Check out www.supras.com/~riemer/gtestory/ and decide if you want to race this guy.

My car isn't turbo..............yet.;)

Re: DEUCE, be careful!!!
 

I always dug the the Supra's and certain Toyotas! wow!

Oh, and my car has 4.30's from the factory. :D:D;)

This kicks ***!

No B.S two guys going out racing and that's it. Let us know guys, good luck to both of you.

what? 4.30's? what is your axle code? also i wouldnt rely on that rearend of the 84 holding up for much longer if you are going to go with the turbo. but you already knew that.

It has held over 500hp reliably in several cars. Hell, there is one guy making over 700hp and running 9's in the 1/4 in the import street tire class.:D:D:D

Oh, and the axle code is f283

Hey Inferno, I just read your signature. I think the hope that your car will be a supercharged stang contender when you add your turbo and other goodies is a bit of a reach. :confused:

I've run supercharged Mustangs; two of'em to be exact. The Saleen and I were a dead heat. The '88 pulled away from me. I'm not bashin' your car, but a supercharged Mustang is a big bite to swallow.

that is one rare diff you got! i busted the 7.5" before on a stock 22r. you tell me? now if you said the 8.0" turbo, then i would believe you even more. but if you did get this far with that amount of power, then i would have to say your lucky or maybe i missed something. maybe yours is stronger cause of the LSD? where did you get it from? what can i get those out of? i am very interested! let me know!

A friend of mine in high school had an V6 supra (mid 80's). Cool little car...for about 6 months. He was showing off by trying to do a burnout and the tranny went *BOOM* This was a completely stock Supra. So, just from my limited experience, it doesn't appear that the tranny can hold a whole lot of power?

E

I bet my SHO could beat it. It makes 200HP.:cool:

So how fast is your "3.0L non-turbo Toyota Supra making 200 hp at the rear wheels", in a quartermile? Low 14's, high 14's?

haha
 

for some reason im thinkin there is gonna be a no show or something will come up, i dont why but u know, i hope not though, i would love to hear the result of a race between an antique supra and a 97 gt should be interesting:D

I'll find out for sure on Saturday.:D

srv1
Do a little more research and you will see that the mk2 diff isn't as weak as you would think. I'm not saying mine has held that power yet, but it will soon. The only major problem with the diff, is that around 300whp, the lsd's(clutch type from the factory) don't really handle it. That is an easy fix though....several companies make gear type or upgraded clutch lsd's for the diff in the mk2. The 4.30 came stock in p-type mk2's in the states...extremely rare like you said, but they are out there. I am going to be switching to the 3.27 after I am finished with my motor build....won't have much use for the 4.30's with boost.:D:D:D

302 LX Eric
Your friend having his I6 supra's tranny blow isn't the norm. My transmission can handle over 300hp in stock form, but that is about the limit. All I have to do to be able to handle 600+hp is switch to the input shaft for a 93+ supra 5 speed and switch to the 93+ synchros.:cool:

Ackbar00
If you were in So Cal, we could test that theory of yours...but since you aren't, we can't.:p

Oh, and 20LbsBoost, I'm sure that I won't beat many sc'd stangs until I do a little internal work...but that is all on the way.:D:D

As for your comment slow98, the only possible no show in this situation wouldn't be on my end. Doesn't really matter though. I plan on going whether he backs out or not. Need to get some time slips for my car.

inferno
 

inferno....the comment wasnt directed to either of you, but we all know sh1t happens, thats life...didnt intend for it to sound that way...whats ur engin rated at the flywheel? ever have any issues with traction?ive never seen a supra that old in action, not putting ur car down but ive just never seen one run....one more thing,give us some ideas of some cars that u have raced that run similiar to yours...maybe that will give us somthin better to build our assumptions on

peace

My my, how things have been progressing on the MW. I've got a mailbox full of suggestions here, get a NOS shot, install gears, find a blower, etc etc.

While I do have 3.55's in the closet, they are going in sometime after the race. My lack of funds, time, and the fact we are running because my car is stock, all go against the "minor improvments" that have been suggested.:D

I'll be down there, rain or shine. I've been offline studying for the CPA exam, which I took today, so I thought I would read up on the developments in this thread.

I look forward to beating, oops meating you in person Inferno. ;)

Skyman, PKRWUD, Kamaro Killer, NO SLO PK, any of y'all care to join us? There was a killer turn out at the track last weekend (just went to watch) and I expect there to be about the same this weekend.

Ive smoked 2 supercharged stangs on all motor no problem, it all matters how well they run. :-D/



Skyler

Good for you Deuce! How do you think it went? I hated that stupid exam. :p Hope you did well. :)

Keep us posted on the results. And, both of you be sure to post your track results, as we're all interested. Good luck. :)

E

Wow its all good. so this is going down this saturday?

Man i want to go check it out...and perhaps run against Inferno as well we can finally get our lil

race outta da way...hehe

Yeah, on Saturday if weather permits. Of all the times for a little rain in so cal, it has to be friday and possibly saturday.......

Of all the weekends that it could ran in so cal, it would have to be this one.......

It's been raining all night, and still currently. Yahoo shows it raining in the morning tomorrow and being cloudy but dry down there all next week. Friggen dirt road will be closed for a while I'd guess. I had my buddy with the WRX all talked into going with us too.:mad:

I had a turbo CRX that was going to go with me...trying to talk my friend with his h22 powered hatchback to show up, but he was sketchy.

When are you guys going to race?

I'll race ya Inferno
 

I finally got a damn car again. My car is s/c'd but I have never been to a track to run a car. I am planning on running against Mike (The Deuce) so if you still want to race him, he'll be there. Just keep in mind, this is all for fun, no ill feelings involved or nothing like that. (not that I think you'd have any ill feelings, lol) Let me know, Keith

I don't know if i'm going to be able to make it. I have some "special" plans for this upcoming weekend since I am still in So Cal.....I'll see if I can make a little different arrangement, but no way in hell I'm passing this girl up for a day at the track.;) :D :cool:

So you're trading one 14 second ride for another?:confused:

Just messing with ya man. I pm'ed you about it. Let us know if we need to look for you.;)

Nope, I'm trading a 14 second pass for several 10 second passes :p :p

Seriously though, I'll see if she is interested in going out to the track before the "going away festivities" but I'm thinking no.;) :D :cool:

You should have hooked up with this girl last weekend when it rained. Race The Deuce already, we're all waiting to read the results!

There it is.....
 

Well there it is,....The No Show. And I believe someone called it early on, I believe it was Slow98 (Slow, you aren't so, as I teased you in another post, you need to change your post to Wise98). And I'd have to say it's about the best, if not too original excuse, a woman (another Ricer Myth confirmed, Ricers are whipped....am I pouring the fuel to the fire now or what!). Man, I've been following this post on the other freaking side of the continent and now No Race.

Inferno is not a ricer. I dont know about you but id go out with a girl before i went to the track. But thats just me.

I know, I know...
 

I know he's not a Ricer, I'm just trying to egg them all on. But, geez why is he always on the MUSTANG page blabbing about Toyota's. Was he kicked out of SupraWorks.com? This goes for what's his face with the Acura Type-S who's always posting, what the heck do I care that he's lowering his ET's by adding more potent Rice to his tank, Mustangs don't run on Rice. (Again, I'm just giving grief in fun, but then again if you love Toyota, and are always talking them up on a Mustang page, that is great especially if it ends up in some fun at the track.....but now the backout?? This means he is just another displaced trash talking RB (I couldn't help it, please forgive, I am just trying to egg this race on again....my other car is actually a Toyota also and I AM very impressed with its engine, however I would never dream of talking it up on this page).

The page seemed to have gotten a little quiet the last week or so, I figured I'd liven it up some:D ! Happy Holidays everyone!

Sleeper,
This is exactly why all the details of our racing have been confined to PM's. Inferno and I have been trying to set this up for a while, and frankly, my lack of avalability has far exceeded his to this point. There was also a rain out.

Just thought I would try to shed a little light on this. I also doubt there is a site on the web where Inferno wouldn't be welcomed with open arms. His knowledge of cars (Toyota's et. al) and general demenor have been nothing short of excellent since I've konwn him.

You on the other hand..........;)

Thank you very much Deuce. You basically said what I was about to say. No dice on convincing my girl to go to the track.:rolleyes: You know how some girls are...."It's too noisey, blah, blah, blah"

Looks like I'm going to be in So Cal next weekend however so maybe we can do something then if the track is open. Next weekend should be my last in So Cal, but then again, a lot of unforseen things keep postponing me leaving...I was supposed to leave on the 7th!!!!

Inferno If you end up driving through the Odessa/Midland area look me up.

Deuce, Sky, Pkrwud, anybody, please send me a PM if you decide to go to Carlsbad. Unfortunately, haven't had the chance to check this forum much.

I've been fine tuning the LX, and made a G-Tech run this afternoon. It got 386 roadHP going uphill at 7/8 throttle. It's almost ready for the track. One more pass before I sell it!
