so today was the day i was going to road test the car. got all 4 brakes working beautifully after making up my rear lines and bleeding all the air out of them and getting the slider adjustments figured out on the pedal assembly.

Then i went through all my nuts/bolts/fittings and checked them and made sure they were tight. reinstalled the battery box, through the battery in and attached the charger and let it charge up while i continued on checking.

ok all good to go and ancy to get it on the road and the fucking battery is shot. it wont keep a charge. quite unforunate. i tried another optima i had and from using it so many times on our trailer winch, she didnt have much left in her.

so here i sit typing away in disappointment. ill leave you with the way it sits.

alignment/ paint and body/ glass and she is ready to rock.

Super Dipper · « **Reply #50 on:** June 08, 2009, 04:50:28 AM »

car was dyno tuned today by Morris from Midnight Auto and it came in at 208whp and 162 tq. we shut the car down at 7800 RPM. had we known we needed a RSX-S pump, we could have spun it up to 8600 RPM and made more power. oh well, there will be a next time.

crxvtec91 · « **Reply #51 on:** June 08, 2009, 04:53:49 PM »

Sounds a bit weak.......

Super Dipper · « **Reply #52 on:** June 09, 2009, 04:13:33 AM »

we did 10 cars on this dyno and they all seemed to be lower than dynojet values. some of the cars drove faster than the numbers they laid down.

for comparison, im gonna head over to a dynojet and see what sort of numbers we get and compare.

78 mini K24 ITB dyno run

highroller54 · « **Reply #54 on:** June 14, 2009, 01:12:26 AM »

whats it like to drive?

Super Dipper · « **Reply #55 on:** June 14, 2009, 02:12:55 AM »

rear springs are way too soft so as soon as l launch it the body is sitting on the rear wheels. the front tires just spin most of the time if i launch it hard.

but other than that, its a riot. lol

Super Dipper · « **Reply #56 on:** August 18, 2009, 02:14:13 AM »

just outta paint

ApexSilver06MR · « **Reply #57 on:** August 18, 2009, 02:45:27 AM »

That car is bitchin'

That's all I got to say.

TheMadScientist · « **Reply #58 on:** August 18, 2009, 11:33:25 AM »

Holy shit this thing is awesome I bet it hauls ass. Did you fix the rear spring problem so you can really lay on it?

Super Dipper · « **Reply #59 on:** August 18, 2009, 11:52:44 AM »

upped the spring rate to 150lbs and revalved the shocks. hope that solves it.
