[Swedish Mike]

I've never broken one! I told you, I suck at the track with my own cars. I've een a 13.9 @ 103mph in my old T25 powered silver sentra to a best 14.2@111mph in the white sentra. As for the gearboxes, they are strong enough and won't fly apart like the SR20 fwd gang. My gearboxes are custom though as well as the axles, but I do know the pulsar's trannies are stout.

I can and will better the times as I know what my isues were. Between turbo, tuning, and launching technique as well as suspension, I think my white sentra should do extremely well (Sub 12 second land).

Nice. Hard to race the Honda´s right? You probably got maaaaaany Turbo Honda´s at your drag days?

Did you mount the 300+hp engine in the White? That´s probably low 12´s or 11´s, light weight car!We ran 12.8 with two years ago with a 330bhp 850T, but that´s a heavy car.

I've raced a bunch of honda cars in my days of street fun. I'll be honest with you mike, I never lost to any of them. I've never lost to any of the FWD bluebird SR20DET cars; hell to be honest with you I don't remember ever getting smoked by anyone. Like I said, I ran where i knew my car would shine best at and that was on the highway. From a dead stop, I've only race a guy with a 400+whp mazda mx-6 (smoked 'em), A crx with B16 and a 70 shot of nitrous (beat him from mid point till the end) and a friend with an S2000 )smoked him as well. If I can find the video, I can share that one with you. I just used to launch the car wrong with the big turbo, resulting in a lazy car off the line. I have since learned my lesson.

An 850T is that fast volvo from around 1993/94?

Here's that video of me and a friend's S2000 from a dig? My car had a T25 and JDM bluebird gearbox on khumo ecstas 205-15-55 tires that were too wide for my rear struts and B14 200sx rims. If I can ever get that tape back, before I raced him here, I have video of me racing a boosted Lexus IS300, an AudiTT, and this same S2000 on the top end (I smoked them all).

Nice video! I wish I had a camera... It´s very nice watch old race videos after a while.

Yeah, it´s the 225 hp Volvo from 94 to 97, it´s easy/cheap to make 330 hp but after that you need forged rods.We made 12.8 with upgraded turbo/exhaust/chip, fast cars.
