Awesome

Here is a video of the 460 pull, my battery died right before the 489 pull. click

Stopped off before work today to take a couple of pictures of 740 half ass clean.

Gawd damn, looks great! I really like the mud flaps, they are a nice touch on your car. What are the wheel/tire specs?

 

[Fiascoxl]

Thanks. Yeah the flaps are just cheap Rally Armor Basics that I mounted a little wider than the tires, I hate when they stick out a ton. I like the understated look of them and they kinda just blend with the car. I put them on last fall and hated the way they looked new and flat, one season of heavy snowfalls has given them a nice worn look so to speak. The Wheels are SSR Type C 17x8 +35 offset and 235/40r17 Dunlop star specs. It desperately needs a lip though. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I have a nib lip but you have to cut it in the middle for it to fit!

I like the stance.

Just a suggestion- paint the lower portion of the i/c black below the bumper. It would make it less obvious.

So I got the car running really well this past week after the pig rich (10:5-7 afr's) dyno day it had. Car is pulling really hard now and is as fast as it's ever been tuned to 11:5 afr on 93 pump and 90/10 methanol to water mix. Still haven't added or taken out any timing from the evo maps and I feel she is happy and safe at it's current power.

After getying the thing dialed in I decided to go to the track last night. Unfortunately with a good tune and stickier tires I wasn't able to improve my times as much as I hoped. I really thought it had high 6's in it but my 60 ft times are killing me. I think some drag radials or full slicks are next up on the list.

Nice vids. A 1.7 60' is nothing to be sad about on street tires. What tires are you currently on, the Dunlops?

 

[Fiascoxl]

Yeah the Star Specs,.. I've tried lowering the launch limit but the HX40 falls out if I launch under 5750rpm. One thing I did forget was to stiffen up the rear shocks, ultimately I could feel the front tires spinning with the rear end sagging. I didn't even realize I hadn't touched the struts till the smooth ride home. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif

 

[GSTwithPSI]

Did you try dropping the tire pressure a bit to see if that did anything?

You could also try going around the water box and skipping the burnout for a run just to see if that helps. Depending on the track prep, the box might leave you loosing traction rather than gaining on street tires.

 

[Fiascoxl]

I went around it a couple of times, I was within a tenth or two (7.3-7.5) all night. I did lower the tire pressure down to 30 but couldn't do much more because of the trip home.

 

[badams]

pretty cool to look at the first page and see where this thing is now. Great work!

 

[Fiascoxl]

Bad things have come to 740/1000. Bluntly I found second gear at the top of third gear, dropping a gear @ 8000rpm was a bad idea. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Damn, sorry to hear that man. Sounds like some carnage pics are might be coming.

 

[Fiascoxl]

I'll let the pics do the talking.

hmmm, somethings fuckey.


roadside vc removal.








Somehow this is just a mark and I can't catch a nail on it.


same here






Titanium retainer took it like a champ


The rocker that smashed into the VC, I have found all its missing pieces and needle bearings amazingly.


Crower single didn't snap somehow.




We have contact.


Dug into the seat pretty good.


Looks like a shroom on a spring morning. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif


I swear by these engnbldr stainless valves!


Guides smoked.


And a final close up.

 

[GSTwithPSI]

Damn, dude. Looks pretty bad, but on the other hand, it could have been wayyyy worse. At least your cams are ok.

Throw on a new head and you're up and running. Make sure you got all the pieces of broken sh*t too...Looks like you got most of it though.

 

[transparentdsm]

you need a head? i have 2 sitting here ill let go real cheap. one is complete and one is bare. can take pictures if you need. send me a pm

 

[Fiascoxl]

Thanks for the offer, I have another used head identical to this one in storage. It has port work, three angle valve job, 1mm OS stainless valves as well. I'm gonna have it skimmed for a MLS throw on some new seals and relap the valves while it's off.

 

[Fiascoxl]

Ok got the car back together and it ran great,... for a day or two. Seems to be a wrist pin on the piston that took a shot from the valve. When it rains it pours I guess, next step is pulling the motor to inspect the bottom end. Sucks that I pretty much blew 250 dollars on parts and numerous ours getting back to running just to have the bottom start making noise. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
