OutToWinPAHC's LS6/T56 s13.5 (no longer my car)

[OutToWinPAHC]

Nah I was just cruising it out and about. Fuel pump was getting louder then it stalled. I was in my folks neighborhood so I got it to their house, AAA came and said were not towing that, but agreed to do it on the morning when they can see it better and get some ramps on it.

Ordered 2 Walbro 255lph inlines. I was using a MSD 2225 but it just maxed out

[OutToWinPAHC]

Fuel pump came on Friday, installed and went to Nicofest...... Anyone got any pics or video of me on the track?

[PyR0NiAk]

I loved this car until I saw that tag..

[OutToWinPAHC]

Did we meet in person? Did I give you a burger?

[PyR0NiAk]

Completely confused... Maybe it's the exhaust fumes from my car running rich as s*** from mixed up maf wiring but I have no idea what you're talking about

[OutToWinPAHC]

Pics from last week ( Nicofest 2010)

[PyR0NiAk]

Looks good, man.

[Steve Lloyd]

where did you plumb the accusump into the oil galley?? I missed that on SilviaV8............

[zach-Ka]

Why are you selling your car?

Well you just go ahead run to the big corvette and forget about the nico community. You will not be missed . Guess we will just have to find a new mod then.

Naw seriously dude after all that work your going to sell it just like that.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Well it was a fun project, now that it's done I would like something else to tinker with. Thinking a C6 Corvette, G coupe with boost, or a Lotus Elise / Extige

[PyR0NiAk]

I say ELISE!

[sr20deTsomeday118]

i aslo agree elise, they are sexy
i mean look at that

[PyR0NiAk]

Pssst... That's an exige

[OutToWinPAHC]

Exige is out of my range, unless I get lucky. The Elise can can be in budget.

Elise


C6


G

[Lonismos14]

G coupe with boost. But make it a 500hp coupe.

[Bumnah]

I've seen Exige's go for low $30s.

Go for the Exige, I believe the aero is a big improvement over the Elise. Better in other ways as well, but I can't recall the information off hand.

First gen Exige is what I'm planning on getting next. Exige S maybe, it's faster, but slightly less spectacular.

[OutToWinPAHC]

out of the box the Lotus will be the best handeling car, but the slowest as well. The vette will be the fastest and easiest to mod, and also handles very very well. The G will be the ladder in both catagories, but a boosted G is just sexy IMO

[PyR0NiAk]

I see vettes and Gs non stop. Yeah, a boosted G would be sexy, but imagine the heads you would turn with a Lotus.

[mRodiek]

You just finished! Dont sell it! lol Have some more fun first

[Eikon]

For some people.. it's the build that is the fun part. For others... the finished product is all that matters and it's painful getting there.

I think I tend to stand with the former group.

[mattblancarte]

The Elise is a pretty sweet car. Good looks, top-notch engineering, and a semi-exotic reputation. I like that option.

I can't help but think an Ultima GTR kit car would be right up your alley. All kinds of fun building to do, and when you're done you can say you're faster than everybody by a long shot.

[240sxjoe92]

Keep it and save for an Elise that way you can have both lol...or you could boost or supercharge the motor that's in your 240 now what ever you do good luck...and Ive loved watching this build thread.

[Chaotic_Warlord]

Seriously dude... You haven't even gotten a chance to really enjoy the fruits of your labor. But if you are intent on selling it I personally think you should sell it to someone on here first. I think it would look good in AZHitman's stable and you know for a fact that it'll be well taken care of and won't get wrapped around a tree. You should send him a PM and ask if he wants to make an offer on it.

[OutToWinPAHC]

It would be cool to see it go on to someone who who really car for it.

But yeah, they build is the fun part. I am getting older and balder by the day. Moving into another vehicle that handles well on a road coarse is more me now. I actually started my V8 swap in early 2005, took 3 chassis, 2 motors and 3 trans to figure out.

This car is awesome, scary a** fast, but not a autocross or road coarse car, too much torque in too light of a car, the back end just comes loose too much. I would like to move from my younger drag racing days and do some road racing / coarses and a vette, lotus, or an atom would be perfect. ( No miata for me to fat, to tall, too ugly, too afraid of c***-a-doodle-doo)

I think if you got the suspension dialed in professionally and got it corner matched I believe you'll find that it would be an absolute monster on a real road course. Take it down to NJ Motorsports park and spend a day running laps and getting it dialed in correctly and I think you'll find it a formidable road race/auto-x car. If you look at the C5R and C6R, they run and win consistently with a similar power to weight ratio that you have in the S13. You might be a little lighter, but I wouldn't think by much.

You can't judge it's performance with that tiny "track" at Carlisle, nor can you really judge it's handling capability on our roads since they are all pretty much F'd right now. Why not take it up to East Coast Bash or one of the other Clubloose events and see if they'll let you run on the E-town road course.

[PyroTecK]

^^^^^ agreed... some good time spent dailing in a better suspension setup than ur on now would make a great difference on a road course. some proper aero and tires will make a world of difference as well. if u choose to keep it i'll be seeing u on the track some day .-)

also... etown has open track days on their road course. check their schedules on the site.

[Didderson]

I think you need more tire and less selling car :P

Obviously the project isn't over yet if it doesn't handle the power to your liking!

Good luck with whatever you do, but I think you should hang on to it for a little, you just finished.

[car nut]

Englishtown is meh. That car would be a blast on either of the tracks at NJMP (especially the bowl on Lightning).

There's a track day at Lightning June 8th that I could help you get into if you're interested.
