Default My DH9 results...

Here's some pics of my sh1tbox on Saturday. I'm starting not to like my promo T45. Fuggin thing still won't let me powershift into 3rd above 6000rpms. Had to slow shift it the whole time. Very annoying.

Best 60ft the whole day was 1.592 Found out that I only have 2.5" of strut travel so the car is transfering not all the weight it should. Going to fix that this weekend. It hits the tires hard but doesn't hold it like it used to. Temp was 79* with a good 8-10mph headwind. Granted my PA is off a little and couldn't get a good burnout cause I have a small leak in my brake system somewhere. I think its the MC. But nothing broke so I guess I had a good day. I did have a good race between a green hatch. He tree'd me but I started to run him down but ran out of track. It was a good race.





Oh ya driftin in the watabox! Found out my MC is leaking too.

It does. That's when I had the stock K-member with eibach springs. F'n car transferred more weight than the tubular front end I have now. But I think it was because I had more strut travel then. I think after I get the bugs sorted out that my current setup should really pick them up. Stupid me raised the ride height up which reduced my strut travel. Going to take of of the spacers out that I have on top of the strut.
