Is this legal to race with? - Thirdgen89GTA - 01-22-2007 alute: mash: And just in case you didn't see it in the first pic. Is this legal to race with? - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-22-2007 holy preload batman, ever thought of getting stiffer springs???? Is this legal to race with? - FreeRideFrosty - 01-22-2007 Uh.... he's a basher. They do weird things like that. LoL Is this legal to race with? - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-22-2007 ya but wouldnt u think that stiffer springs would be ALOT better for bashing than cranking them down so far that u can only compress them half way? Is this legal to race with? - FreeRideFrosty - 01-22-2007 Mike how dare you type something logical!! Is this legal to race with? - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-22-2007 lmao i guess that was uncalled for sorry hahahah TTT Is this legal to race with? - Thirdgen89GTA - 01-22-2007 Works fine for big jumps. Besides it takes me less time to reduce preload than change the springs. Sometimes I run it with a street setup very low to the ground anyways. Its all for adaptability. I don't need to tune for a track, just a general setting to get me setup for big jumps, or street. Is this legal to race with? - joey - 01-22-2007 gotta have the clearance for the curbs. Is this legal to race with? - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-22-2007 as long as u keep the al's stickers on there ill let it slide Is this legal to race with? - Thirdgen89GTA - 01-22-2007 hah, when I painted that basher body I only had Al's and Proline stickers around. I ended up taking some traxxas Jato stickers and cutting them up so I could use them else where. Really doesn't have anything "gtr" on it. but it was something to fill the white space. The "rocket fast acceleration" comes from a Jato sticker as well. I just put the 4.6 above it cause I knew I'd have a NR 528xr in it soon. Is this legal to race with? - firesprink281 - 01-22-2007 kind of like nos stickers on a civic? haha that thing should move. Is this legal to race with? - Thirdgen89GTA - 01-22-2007 If a few people from the area are going I could make a trip up to LHR thursday to see how much fun it is on the back straight. Is this legal to race with? - pwnzor - 01-22-2007 that will be rough on your drivetrain...but i bet it would be fun Is this legal to race with? - Thirdgen89GTA - 01-27-2007 Finally got a chance to fire it up and tune it. I only ran one tank so I still have tuning to do but wow. I can't keep it straight! Course the street is pretty slick with the salt still on it from the snow earlier this week but its amazingly quick. Definitely very fun. Plenty of low end grunt with a JP2 pipe. First time I fired it up definitely too lean for the weather, didn't see any smoke past the initial burst from the low end being too rich. So i kept richening up the high end an 8th every 2nd pass Now when it goes I can see the smoke get sucked up and throw by the turbulence off the rear wing (which looks very cool!). Leaned the low-end out till I could get decent acceleration, still plenty of smoke so its still on the rich side but that works for me, better safe then sorry. Sadly no video as I had no-one to film for me.
