S.O.S. - Signaled Out Sedan

tonyHTX · 07-03-2015, 05:56 PM

Happy 4th weekend everyone, JDMurica!

tonyHTX · 08-05-2015, 06:28 PM

In the past few weeks my Southbend Stage 3 Endurance clutch had started slipping in the higher gears. I called Southbend and I was told that the clutch should hold around 480 torque... At the flywheel! I'm at 525 wheel torque so it slipping is kind of to be expected, it did hold pretty well the last 4+ months though. On top of that my transmission, which has 94k miles, has started grinding in 5th gear and 6th gear. This isn't a total surprise considering how much power the car puts out now, but it wasn't an issue that I was anticipating to happen. I called a local salvage yard to get a used transmission and they delivered it within a few hours!

But, that means my car will be going back to the shop very soon. Luckily, I have obtained most of the parts for my next phase:

Special thanks to phunk for the first ever CJM Stage 3 Fuel Return System for HR motors, as well as the picture!

Since this is happening sooner than I was planning there are two things that I wanted to get but I just can't afford them when the transmission is thrown into the mix. I guess those will have to wait until next year or so, hopefully this is enough to tide me over until then!

To Infiniti..

My first time ever to the drag strip tonight. My best time for the night was:

I think that run was 12.7, I need to learn how to launch better without spinning first and second. I'm sure better tires and/or drag radials would help.

Edit: Inside my very first run. I didn't even know where to line up hah

Your car is BA!

tonyHTX · 09-08-2015, 01:24 PM

Here is another video from the inside where I got toasted by a bad arse truck on drag radials. He ran a 12.5 and I ran a 12.6. To add insult to injury my passenger got kicked out! Hopefully I can learn how to launch the car properly at the strip.

sick car and build man

tonyHTX · 09-24-2015, 03:38 PM

Finished the switch to corn - special thanks to phunk / CJM for the (first?) Stage 3 RFS for a V36 sedan!

We stopped here for today, hopefully I will have time to write up more details this weekend:

Holy Sh*t!!!!

Tony, why didn;t you message that to me?

Beast mode engaged!

GaleForce · 09-24-2015, 11:38 PM

Damn! That torque!

jwick · 09-24-2015, 11:39 PM

That is definitely a monster of a build. Think I'll go watch him at the grag strip tomorrow

For him. I'm afraid to take the G to the strip.

I'm going out to Royal tomorrow. I'm meeting a boosted stang out there. Hope Tony and you come out.

In for results, if I was closer I'd come out. Be safe and have fun!
