Just wanted to share my build that has been in the works for a little over a year now. The setup was assembled & fabricated by SpeedFactory Tuning & Race Fabrication.

This past weekend I had the chance to attend Import Face Off Woodburn, OR. I wanted to compete in the event, but after talking with the crew we decided that it would be best to get some if not all my licensing passes in.

Note: This was my first time ever driving anything like this, let’s just fast for me up to this point was GSR swapped hatch, LOL! This being my first time out everything went really smooth & I want to thank the entire SF Crew for all the help & support, without them none of this would be possible. The cars performance was flawless, I was able to get all my NHRA licensing passes with no issues which was pretty cool!

Thanks for looking enjoy!

Car made just over 600whp on 18psi

Here is a breakdown of the slip my 2nd full pass ever

R/T .309
60’ 1.646
330 4.519
1/8 6.630
MPH 120.48
1000 8.413

Things I need to work on,

Slowing the car down after the pass
Full throttle shifting

very nice! really clean and simple

 

Is that the TMAR-CAR? HAHA. Congrats on going 9's the first time at the track.

 

nice ET for the first time out. Must feel good to get your license passes done with

 

i was wondering if someone was gonna do a thread on this car...good job on the easy 9...gonna be another bad a **** with some further tweaking/seat time

 

Sweet 1/8th numbers.

 

congrats! great build!

 

Nice job man, can't wait until you get to go out at full power. Great job on the driving also, first time driving a turbo car and going 9's is really impressive.

 

Very nice. SpeedFactory never disappoints. I'm not making anywhere near your power but I can't wait to take mine out at a Test and Tune.

 

Damn 120 in the 1/8th.. Nice job!

 

Speedfactory ftw!
Very nice

 

Congrats, very impressive for your first time out

 

We were giving Thomas a hard time about the driving before the race about driving the car. "You think you know, but you have no idea!"

He did a great job at the track and we are proud to be able to be part of the build. Big things to come later this year!

 

Congrats for sure man. That 120mph in the 1/8 is no joke!

 

Very clean build! Best of luck to you this year!

 

Nice job Thomas - can't complain about running 9's your first day in a turbo FWD car, not to mention your first time ever on a 1/4 mile dragstrip! You did us all proud.

Here's a vid of the pass (he pedaled it on/off/on twice in 4th, thus the low trapspeed):

FYI this car hasn't even been corner weighted yet and still has full working power windows/sunroof/mirrors/etc, no CF anywhere. She's heavy.

After reviewing the datalog from this pass, it's safe to say that there is a TON left on the table. I'm excited to make more progress with this car!

 

Wow very impressed congrats on your times

 

Looks like shes really squatin in the rear, stifffen that up!

 

very nice! keep up the good work!

 

Nice

 

It's only gonna go faster man, good job

 

Nice work. Incredible first day at the track! Can't wait to see it at its full potential.

 

Congrats... The NW is showing their Muscles.... SpeedFactory has a deep crew and they all have their own specialty.. Go get em boys & gals.
