Well, I went to the track Friday night for the first time on slicks- I picked up some used 24.5 x 8.5 x 13 M&H slicks on lensos. They already had ~25 passes on them before this run. Car + driver weighs about 2300lbs.

It's an awesome feeling to finally hit the 10's.
It would've happened months ago if I would've quit screwing around with drag radials and just picked up some slicks!

These runs were on 100 octane unleaded.

There's definitely more left in it with a little suspension work and a decently prepped track. Fresh slicks would help too, but I'm happy with it as is. This was my first time on slicks, so I spent most of the night dialing things in.

Here's some pics and vids, enjoy!








This was my first 10.99 pass, running out of gas in 4th.

VERY NICE! i've watched your setup from years ago! was always amazed by your times from the very beginning with 5psi on that greddy good ****!

 

how did you get all that power out of a d16

 

very nice

 

what is the rest of your setup ?

 

Great times man. I too, have watched your posts for long time now. It's great to see someone stick with the same car for so long and see the results from hard work.

D16Y8, Vitaras, Eagle rods, Zex 59300, Skunk2 IM, H22 throttle body, stock port head, stock valvetrain, Ebay 50/63 57trim t3/t4, mini ram, 3" exhaust (I believe it's full), tuned by him on Crome Pro.

I'm not a stalker, I promise.

Way to go man, long time coming. Now put some fresh slicks in and do some suspension goodies.

 

the holes in the bumper did it!

good job on the 10s with a budget build!

 

I am SO FREAKING HAPPY for you man.. Way to go with your setup, the build and the tunning.


and thank you for pushing the Vitaras as far as you have.

 

if times like this beast just produced with vitara's keep happening there not going to be a cheap option for us single slammers lmao.

j/k great times and sick sohc this is another giant step for vitara's.

 

i got a d16 in car now but i was looking to build a k or b serious but if i could get that much out of a d16 for cheaper i would do that so what do ya'll think

is the car a daily driver too ?

 

there should be a 2nd setup running 10 sec soon.. its just a matter of having a good run.. another member is currently running 11.1 @ 125mph on his vitara setup..so we will hear soon about him moving into the 10's

I don't think it's driven every day, but certainly sees it's fair share of the road. JFK would have to chime in for that one.

Oh stock sleeves too, but I figured you guys guessed that lol.

Really makes me want to just skip pump gas and go race gas tuning right away.

 

congrats man keep up the good work

 

Thanks guys. 10 seconds has been a long time coming.


These runs were open DP, stock axles.

This is my only car but since we caged it I've been driving it much less, and I'm just going to get something else to daily drive. This car is going to be still street legal/registered/insured, but pretty much just a drag car. It's just too much for the street, and I'm too worried about something happening to it anymore.

 

running out of gas is kinda scary thats an easy way to pop a motor.

 

Yup, I've lost one in the past because of that.

Gauge showed 1/4 tank on that pass. I just wasn't paying enough attention to the fuel, too busy dialing in the slick pressure/launch rpm, etc. This was my first time on slicks.

 

sweet car sick times

 

Very inspiring.

 

badass!!!!!

 

What clutch are you runing ? Congrats on the times !
