sick!!! i hope to be in you shoes really soon!!! i do have a couple of questions. y h22 (i do love the h anf f's!) and are you running pump gas or race?? go H.A.M sir go H.A.M!!!

Thanks man. It takes ALOT more then people would think. It's not easy at all and a very costly hobby. IMO It's why most people talk a big game and when they try it they fail and/or give up. It's alot of trial and error to learn things and get it right. 'm still learning to this day. As far as the SFWD guys go they are flying forsure! I really don't pay attn to who is doing what I set my own goals and go after them. I do go rounds and most of the time I am not the faster car but faster driver

We can dyno it anywhere fool. Bring it to absolute. We can break it out at the MIR event in July and run open session. Or a test n tune. Doesn't matter much too me lets get it done.

When it's back on the track. I think it's going to be a whole new animal!
A guy I know is actually supposed to be buying my street car. And turning it into a drag car. I have enough parts laying around to build a low 10 high 9 second prelude. I may just do it sometime just to do it. It would be kick ***.

Im my shoes really soon!? I'll say i doubt it. It takes ALOT. Just the fact you're asking if it's on race gas shows you have alot to learn. You have to walk before you can run and crawl before you can walk. Start small work your way up. Goodluck

I haven't pitched that to Jason, he said Ben's dyno should of been moved by now, but I don't know if it is.... haven't talked to him in a week or two. He was supposed to let me know when it was ready to use. I want to get it done too man.... I'll hitup Jason again this weekend.

If you happen to talk to him mention it to him.... I'm ready to go. I just wanna drive the car already.

Small updates to report. New aluminum rod block should be done in the next week or so. RLZ made a badass ported cylinder head for me which will be going on the block. I've been working on the suspension to stiffen this thing up and get it going straight. I've done a few body upgrades while everything is apart and cleaned a few things up. I've done some weight reduction nothing too crazy as I will always retain full interrior.

That's pretty much all I have to report for right now. I wont be racing this year. But next year I'm going for 8's!!!

Acidcrakker

So when you going to break 6's. Lol

md23vtec

8.99 will be hard enough as it is lol

Acidcrakker

All the time and money put into going that fast. Must of been expensive, but Im sure its worth it.

Greyout

I think the janitor key chain is worth a tenth at least

BergRacing21

can't wait to see you get into the 8's! sucks it wont be this year though!

Are you sticking with the 67mm BW turbo for now, or is something else in the future as well?

md23vtec

I can't even begin to tell you how much I've spent on this thing it's nuts. It's not worth it unless it's something you honestly love doing just to do it.


That's from 2006-2007 when I didn't own a trailor and I drove to the track went 10's drove home. If it makes you feel better it only has one key on the ring now.

It's a long process it takes time.

I'll be using the same BW67. In the future I may possibly move up to the BW S400 72 later if needed.

Is there any word if you're rebuilding this car after last years accident? just curious, staying with the prelude chassis or switching? Would hate to see this prelude out the game i was so bummed after WCF last year.

98vtec

he texted me some pretty optimistic pictures so i would say so

BergRacing21

Awesome! glad to hear, thanks man!

It was rebuilt, with a custom one-off front end as well and some serious rear suspension changes.

I talked to Roger a few days ago - he's got a lot going on and taking a break this year. Still has the car but there are more important things.

BergRacing21

Hey man, anyone can understand that...i was just curious glad to know he wasn't ditching the car or switching body styles. I wish him the best i've always loved that car. Prob has a lot do with the fresco blue since its the same color my car is, oh and the fact his car is bad as sh*t!

md23vtec

The body has been fixed just needs some cleaning up. ALOT has changed. I'm still having issues with PPG trying to get the transmission parts I need. Once everything is all said done and back together I wouldn't shocked if I go low 1.5s high 1.4's in the 60ft. Right now it's still in the air when I will be back but I hope sooner than later.

md23vtec

The lude is running again!!! I'm not race ready just yet. We still have A LOT to do, but it's great to hear the car run again. I'll have a proper update with a few pics sometime in the near future.

snobordboy

Great to hear Roger!

It is always nice to be able to watch the results and videos from events like WCF and see the Prelude kicking ***!

Very interested to see what the new front end looks like, and what changes you have made to the suspension, if you feel like sharing that stuff. Hopefully everything keeps the rear more planted at the big end!

BergRacing21

awesome!!!! glad to hear it!
