Well, after sitting back and watching all these people getting upset in the hotrod class....who's and how many ditching their hotrod prepped car to go for the SFWD and turbo4 classes? That damn street class is getting pretty popular now huh

I'm just wondering, cause I thought about ditching my current car right now(which is not complete)to build one for the SFWD a few times...But I think about all the work I've been putting into the hotrod car it'll hurt me to sell it. a lot of hours have been put into that thing.


SO who's jumping into what classes and who's gonna tough it out?

 

Hows this... i was building a car for SFWD/Turbo4, and now i decided to step it up to a hotrod class car for next year... lol.

Jumping ship.... just headed the other way

 

i am building a new sfwd civic hatch and selling my hot rod crx drag shell

 

Not to jump on your back Paul, but you've been trying to build that car for many, many years now.??????? Do you really have one anyway? Just carious. If ypu do hurry up dawg!

 

I'm thinking about jumping into the Hot Rod Class , but all motor is too much fun .
Way more competitive also .

Yes , Paul he is right , I want to see this thing already ..

 

it's in pieces right now.....I'll snap some pics this weekend when I'm off

what took me so long is cause I sold my old setup for my new house...motor, car, management, everything.....I had to start from scratch last year so hopefully it should be done once summer comes around. car went to a local guy, motor program went to dragsol on here, management went to a guy on here....turbo setup went to hipe from canada


Lo, did you ever get back with RS on the engine program?

No , I think that is a lost cause . I lost out block and money . I might have to make a trip down there .

I couldn't wait anymore so I built another motor already . I will be at DSR this weekend for dyno . Hope it holds . I will at Battle in Kent WA in a couple of weeks.

Good luck with the new car man . Step it up ..

 

yeah....trying to. I just got my bender in too. Copped out and bought one from jd2.

Hey Lo, you're gonna have to come help me back half our delsol

 

I think about jumping to the sfwd class but i look at my hot rod car too and just say i have put to much in to it to give up.

it's not that...I don't think the car can be turned back into a street car lolz

 

SFWD/Turbo4 for me



3 days of work and I'm still not done




Powered by a birds nest, w00t.

 

I think ive finally decided to build a turbo4/sport fwd car instead of just a really fast daily driver. does that count? hehe

You just let me know , we can talk details later . As of right now , I still have like four cars at the shop for fire wall back and front tubes to be tide into the frame .

 

SFWD

 

Hey is that a bird nest on the front passanger headlight ?? he he ,

 

Yep. The hampster that was putting out 500whp retired, so I hired a few birds.

 

The first time I pulled into E town and saw the GM trailer I decided to switch to
a street class. Not that my old Geo was really competative in Hot Rod but heck
I really didn't want to race in a class were I had NO chance of winning.

Things are differant in Sport FWD For me THIS is racing.

Steve

 

Hey , good luck with the car and remember always have fun at it .
Be safe , and eat good BBQ at the track all the time . ha ha ..

Steve , their just another race team , don't think like that as a racer . just have fun man , do what you love and be happy . Look at it this way if your in fourth gear and your car is still running strong and they didn't pass you up yet , the race is yours ..

I've been contemplating building a SFWD car as well. I've read all of the rules and such, but what kind of times would you consistantly have to run to be competetive? I haven't found many SFWD dedicated threads talking about times/setups.

To be competitive you will need consistant high 9's to very low 10's.

 

On the east coast, to qualify, u pretty much need to be in the 10's. To win, ur gonna need to be in the high 9's/low 10's like he said above.

Mid West/West Coast, it seems you can qualify w/ an 11 sec car still. and win it w/ a mid 10 sec car.

next season will be tougher hopefully.

 

Thanks for the replies.

 

Turbo4 car being built now. Hopefully will be starting on a new shell next week

-Richie

 

HOpefully my integra will be off the dyno this week and ready to race in Atco. My wifes T4 car will be a C4 car in the next couple weeks. We are making all the changes to make it competitive in that class.
