Official: Fastest Festiva's "PROOF" thread

[woodson]

you may have, but i doubt it. my festiva is still bone stock. ive ran a bunch of other cars though. i will start to build my car for autox this next year. there are a couple of guys that have festivas, i just havent met any of them yet. ithink they've all done swaps and primarily do drag.

[Fastiva604]

well i have been drag racing my festiva for the last 3 years.. and i have had 2 different ones.. if there was another that was drivin around i would know ..

[B6T]

Mods: Reich Racing ECU (running rich, as you can tell), no intercooler, no boost controller, no fueling increases (aside from Reich ECU), VJ11 turbo. I was running without an intercooler... I wonder what I would have put down if the turbo outlet didn't go directly into the throttle body...

Hello. I'm new to this forum. Just bought a B6T Festiva. Car has run a 12.77@109 mph with the 20 shot of nitrous (not on there anymore) and slicks. I've only had it to the track once since i bought it, and best i could manage in street trim was a very traction limited 14.22@104, on street tires, with the front suspension limiters off (so my camber was going crazy in first and second when the nose comes up, hence my horrible 2.5/2.6sec 60ft. times), and no nitrous. next week going to try with the limiters and slicks back on. Car is a 92 gl, Capri B6T swap, 323GT G25MR, ACT 4-puck clutch, Corksport ECU, 2.75 in. mandrell dp, 2.5 in. mandrel muffler shop exhaust with nice quiet gibson muffler and electric cutout, stock sidemount IC, rebuilt stock turbo, packing strap front suspension limiters, and 15 in. lancer OZ rally 5-spoke wheels. Future plans include tein coilovers, aspire rear suspension (for the swaybar), get the front mount on, and maybe a GT28RS. For the most part just enjoying it as a daily driver. Street kills so far include a 2002 golf GTi, a stock C5 Vette, and an SRT4 with light mods.

Oh, didn't know the guy i bought it from was on this board. I got Turbostive's car. Going to see if i can actually get it to hook and see if i can get it at least in the low 12's and hopefully in the 11's.

^^ I remember that car! There is video on his site showing it running 12's! He listed it here last year for sale.

I called Steve at home several times and left messages about that car , and PM'd and E-mail'd I never heard from him

Glad someone finally got it .

Do g-tech readings count?? Or does it have to be a real timeslip?

[muscle_Car1]

From page 1 1st paragraph:

You may need proof of your time. A video, time slip with a proof it's your car

G-tech times don't count, Ivan has lots of those, He's car was really fast...

[FATHEAD]

i still have the 12.77 slip, he gave it to me with the car. I'll post it up when i get a chance. Hopefully i'll have time to get down to the track this weekend with the slicks and limiters and try to improve on those horrible short times i had last time. From my mph last time, i should be able to get back in the twelves even without the nitrous if i can get around a 1.9/2.0 60ft. instead of a 2.5.

There is also video of Fatheads car doing 12's on the old owners web page. Here is a link, look under video section. http://vettesandperformance.com/
