Because of all of that, he won. Damn… I might’ve had a crack at it had I not broke down a half-hour before eliminations started… D’oh! (shoulda, coulda, woulda… ) :lol: ---

> [@Inzane](#): > > [quote=SRBURG13]Unfortunately Inzane blew a diff or something like that So far the verdict is that I may have snapped the inner axle that runs inside the diff. But this is just based on exterior observation under the car. I haven’t taken anything apart yet. It may not cost much to replace but my biggest problem right now is time. I used up all my vacation time (and sick time) already, mostly because of the wedding & honeymoon. Friends are busy. I’m busy. I don’t know when I’m going to have time to fix this. I want to do as much of this myself to save on labor but part of me is thinking "fuck it, get the flatbed back to my house and haul the car down to Ericksen!!.. " but I’m not ready to throw the towel in yet. But I don’t want to leave this problem over winter. The car’s not ready for my annual winter storage ritual: the car is filthy, the gas tank is almost empty, the oil is in need of changing, and the wrong tires are on the car for storage… so I can’t just throw the car cover on and forget about her 'til spring. :evil:[/quote] That sucks to hear man. Just last week there was someone selling a Z32 LSD on 780tuners for a damn good price. Might be worth checking out? ---

> [@ChromeDragon](#): > > The car didn’t run quite as fast as it had before, I kept having massive traction problems all day. In the end though I managed to just hardly beat that red Silvia convertible from Lethbridge in one of the most exciting races I’ve ever been in. His front bumper was literally at my door for the last half of the track, but I managed to just hold on for the win. He actually ran a slightly better time, but I beat him on the tree. 😃 > > I’m not sure if the Silvia owner is on these boards, but I’d just like to say again that it was a great race, thanks a bunch. If you come up next year I’m going to have to buy you a beer. Haha. Yes. That race was the most fun i have ever had, let alone the closest race ever. I loved the whole show. It would have been well worth the drive up from lethbridge just for that race and to see all the nice cars that you guys had out there. Seeing all your necc cars in person is a whole diffrent expearance. I loved them all. Props to all you! ---

Please edit your post to fix your qoute. It wasn’t me that raced the silvia convertible, I think it was Aaron, and hence those were not my words. 😉 ---

If your vehicle is entered in the Showoff, it is your responsibility to ensure that your vehicle has not missed judging while it was competiting in the Drag Racing and/or Soundoff events. In other words, it is your responsibility to ensure that your vehicle has been judged. If you need additional information about judging speak to a V8less representative beforehand. They will be happy to help you out. Just thought I would remind all of you about this event. The first date was a rainout so I hope we can plan something for this one. We should maybe have a booth set up if some of you want to show off your cars. Is anyone going to be racing? Just wondering who would be thinking of going down and checking out the scene.

I do believe I’ll be racing, so hopefully I’ll have the intercooler installed by then and will be able to shoot for some mid to low 13s…who knows, maybe even something in the 12s? :shock: ---

I might be there to race my winter beater if I end up buying it. I cant take my 240 unless I slap on a new door or two. If neither of those options pan out I will be there to watch. ---
