after the mishap on the only launch i made this year, the amount of time and money to correct only to find more and more problems, i have given up officially on 4cyl AWD drag racing.
money focus is the tube chassis car and not repairing the awd car anymore.
bought a 99 GMC Sierra from the auction for $783 after all fees. harvest the LM7 aka iron blocked LS1 motor, and sell off the rest of the stuff to make back more than the price with free motor.
the final deciding factor was to sell the dogbox, as that will fund ALL of what i need to spend to backhalf the car, 4-link RWD it, and LS turbo or nitrous the car. the goal was to not spend tube chassis car funds.
done and thru with it all. the goal is simple and FUN. running that car at the level it is, is really hard if not doable by myself, and i have had to do it a few times. too much work. i am slowing the car down, jacket and helmet not full fire suit, parachute, license, etc. i want under 135 and not less than 10.00 and i can control ALL of that. i will save the fastest quickest goals for the tube chassis car.
just a couple pix to show how it is going. i am going to work on the 40v 4.2L V8 Quattro Corrado i started a few years ago, and let racing sit aside for next year. slowly also work in the now car to rwd transformation.
and no mo Quattro. sad day, but, i want to have FUN racing for awhile if i can. pump gas, go rounds and rounds, reliability. is what it is.
