[FRANTIK]

What tranny did you use? Stock festy or g25mr?

thats seems awfully slow for the BP? Did you baby the launch because of the tranny?

[IdealSociety]

i ran a 15.42@89.9mph with a BP swap and the g5mr that has the 4.10 final gears...

then again ive still got some messed up suspension issues and no traction at all...

[muscle_Car1]

You needed to shift too often I bet. Those 4.10 gears are a pain.

when i first bought my festiva, it was running on 2 cylinders, had two donut tires, the other two wheels were bent, my exhaust was dragging behind me, i had to start in 2nd because my tranny was screwed up, i had 200 lbs of camping equiptment and 2 friends inside. we picked up the car on our way back from a camping trip. but, we drove straight to RMR (utah) to run a quarter mile. starting in second i broke a control arm about 20 feet down the track, followed by blowing a tire and leaving my exhaust at the 8th mile mark. the car died so we got out and pushed it the rest of the way. we easily made it under 16 minutes.... oh you said seconds... well nevermind.

actually most of it is wierd camber issues im having and spinning crazy through first and mostly through second... with a good pair of slicks i bet my time would drop substantially...

[muscle_Car1]

Camber bolts?

[IdealSociety]

no, it seems to be that my control arm pinchbolt just isnt pinching or something, ive used 4 different bolts, 2 different hubs... i think maybe its just the control arm... ill replace that next. then again, i think i already did once and it did nothing...

i ran a 12.9 @ 107 2.2 60 ft here is a time slip....i also have video of that same night just prior to the 12 running a 13.08 @106.. i had quite a few issues with my clutch(second gear burnout and it came out of adjustment) if i would have figured the problem out in time i would have ran in the range of 12.4 or 12.5 im guessing but oh well.. i ran slicks, t3/t4 turbo, wiseco pistons, cams,front mount, haltech e6k, etc... 14 psi street tune pump gas..

Nice run,
Look's like we are all having problems with our cars when hitting the strip.When Mextiva runed the 12.7 my shift linkage bushing was all messed up and came off when I got home that same day.My 12.8,12.9 runs were with a 2.2 60 too.
