you are correct. Those run 15's not 14's

whats the 1/4 time for a regular 3.0 5sp? and is the 14.9-15ish times for the eclipse or a 3.0 with ~200hp?

after sitting under a tree and not run for two years, on dry rotted tires... 15.2 with practice.

with 20" crappy slicks 14.6

only thing done to the car was a 52mm throttle body, pass and rear seat removed, gas added and then beaten at the track. I think I still have vids of it too, had a rustang till 3/4 track..

[Shadow24V]

not bad. ill have to get a vid up of it when its running for you guys

[big_P]

did you figure out why the engine was locked?

[Shadow24V]

yeah, 2 dust shield bolts got mashed into the back of the flywheel; jammed it up good lol. had to tear the tranny, clutch/PP and flywheel off to grind 2 pissant bolts down lol. now im trying to figure out how to get spark and camshaft pos. sensor to work with MS....(if anyone wants to help let me know please )

bryan, your not giving me enough credit.

I managed a few 14.9 out of the free car with those tires before the slicks.

very cool. i've always wondered if that version of the 3.0 would work. looks like the most time consuming/frustrating part was all that wiring!

but still very cool indeed!

[Shadow24V]

thanks. although in reading some posts on club3G.com i realized that a diamante 3.5 would fit just as easily its pretty much a bored and stroked 3.0, same tranny bolt pattern etc. *shrugs* oh well, found that out AFTER i bought the 3.0 lol
that would be an interesting car, 3.5L 5sp

Does it run? C'mon, get some more pix!

ok, heres an update, i have everything assembled and am just down to teh tuning of teh MS-II unit now, i HAVE gotten her to run for a little while though.
heres an AUDIO (video clip but nothing to see) of her running. you need quicktime 6.5+to hear the audio though (i think, stupid .3p2 format....)
you can try the link, donno if it will work. cant attach it here otherwise i would...
