Yea, the one I mentioned was the white one. I never bothered to take it to the track. My only real world performance values are logging 52.5 lbs/min and cutting 1.60s 70-90 sprint times. That puts the car at mid 11’s at around 125 based on a ton of other information on the DSMLink forums, but I’m not a benchracer and I don’t really care what it could’ve/would’ve/should’ve ran. Maybe one day I’ll actually take one of my cars to the track :bowrofl: ---

haha i hear ya. seems like most people base their times on what they “should” have ran. i just nod my head and keep my thoughts to myself. your car looked like it was plenty capable of running that time though. ---

Yea, I think it would have, but again, I’m not really trying to make any claims. I build my cars for street fun. If it gets the heart racing, I’m happy 🙂 ---

haha ya atleast the civic that lasted was the si. hey i found a couple pics of the one door panel i made its not 100% finished actually i tried to roll beads in it but they didn’t turn out very straight since it was my first experience with that so i’m going to try to get a big sheet of aluminum from multi-metal on rt66 to make 2 more panels and to do my trunk floor with but this is basically how they will be but painted blackcherry to match the body of the car. ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/315843805_1077050480_0.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/315843805_1077050480_0.jpg) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/315844029_1077051359_0.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/315844029_1077051359_0.jpg) [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gombos-1991-eagle-talon/193282.md?page=2) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gombos-1991-eagle-talon/193282.md?page=4)
