Pinks v2.0: Full-Race / Hasport FTW !!
(pics to be added tomorrow)
most everyone knows we lost the pink car. that sucked, so we thought we would try to redeem ourselves... heres the short version of the story:
Hasport was supposed to race their 11sec H22/nitrous vs an 11sec old school VW bug. Unfortunately the VW was a low 10 sec car, and the hasport h22 car was a mid 12 sec car. this made for a really crappy tv show. The producers of the show knew the footage they had sucked and was not useable, so they wanted to shoot the episode again. So now, the CRX had to go fast. Hasport came to us and we teamed up to build a stock sleeve GSR (built bottom end, Headgames head) with a stage 3 Full-Race kit, using a T3/T67 HO and a really basic drag race setup. Only chassis mods were Full-Race Traction bars and progress coilovers
Car was built just in time, but on the dyno, the turbo sucked in a vacuum hose, trashing the compressor wheel and making the boost go to 40 psi = cracked sleeve, trashed motor
2 days before the race, and the car has a cracked sleeve and a trashed turbo...
Hasport also owns Honda-Auto-Salvage (hence HAS-port) and they happened to have a GSR shortblock which sat in the yard for 3 years. No head, no oil pan, just 4 cylinders filled with dirt. Hasport took the motor and needed a 3 foot breaker bar to get the crank to spin. They broke the crank loose, put a stock b16 head on it and prayed....
They get the motor in the car, wire it up, turn it over... it fired up perfectly. Locash was putting the basemap in the car and couldnt believe it. Oh, and the block was spray painted blue... so basically, this pos (literally) junkyard motor is in the car, so we changed the turbo kit out to a stage 1 kit (tried and true just like the pink car) and put the car on the dyno. I dont rememebr what it made, ill have locash get the dyno plots, but i think it was like 430 whp? Regardless, everyone is happy. we get the car on the trailer and go to the track. I hop in the car
1st pass the car goes 15.0 @ 96. there was a t bolt clamp that wasnt tightened. Bring the car back to the pits, tighten the clamp.
2nd pass, the car goes 11.4 @ 125 (15 psi)
3rd pass, the car goes 11.3 @ 123 (15 psi)
we are happy and wait for the race to begin.
1st race, we race heads up. Its a close race, he takes me out of the hole, i catch him, end up beating him by about 3" at the 1/4, I won (low boost)
2nd race, i hoenstly dont remember what happened? they won (low boost)
3rd race, something happened on his car, they slowed down, I won (low boost)
4th race, they got 2 car lenghts (why they got that, i have no idea). I turn on high boost for the whole pass, but he beat me by 2-3 car lengths at the 1/4. they won (high boost 21-22 psi)
5th race, i get the vw out of the hole, he gets a little squirly and im pushing the high boost putton the whole pass. I look back at him and i see he is pulling HARD on me but hes all over the place. I look forwards and pushing the button and the pedal really really hard, praying i get to the end before he catches me. I see a red flash, pass is over. I won (high boost 21-22 psi)
i had no idea howcome that guy couldnt catch me? i come down the return road and the car is in the wall!!!! i drove our car down the return road to the tree and expect to see my friends but everyone is at the other end of the track. The car ate it and came so close to me that everyone thought it had crashed into me too. The video of it looks like it just skimmed by me. the guy at the end of the track said that he thought i was done. Rich christianson (the guy you all like so much) said he started getting tears in his eyes
so, we won. It should be a really good episode.
