Both Sat. and Sun. looked like a wash, so I ended up not going. The only reason I wanted to go was to compete in the Modular shootout, but I did not want to spend $80 just to get rained out. I did however get down to the track on Friday night, and was well on my way to an 11.4 or 11.5 run. Something happened, lets see if you guys can figure it out.....



60' 1.443
330' 4.640
1/8 7.303
MPH 93.25
1000 9.564
1/4 11.955
MPH 83.23

Went to shift from 3rd to 4th, missed 4th and shifted into 2nd!!!!!!! NICE 60' BTW, was that on the Nitto's?????

Ok, off topic. Last week I took the car to work and when I hopped in at the end of the day the mirror was on the floor. Tonight I bought some glue to put it back on the windshield but I don't know how to seperate the metal part that adhears to the windshield from the arm of the mirror. Anyone have any experiece with this? I have to seperate them so I can glue it back up and let it cure before putting the mirror on that tab. There is a small slot on the underside and you can see some type of mechanism that locks the mirror arm to that metal piece.

there should be a small allen style set screw in there.

It's to bad you didn't go. Both days were ok, with sunday turning out really nice.

MIKE:Short time looks awesome. I would image from looking at the speed that after 3rd gear something happpened and you just coasted. Could be anyones guess. I don't think you missed a gear, cause you would have still tried to put back into forth. Are you going to tell us or what. I've seen the timing system screw up a # of times also.

wow, one post all day!

BINGO!! Man did that suck!! These cars are a lot tougher than I thought!! I was so mad at myself once I saw the slip, knowing that it would have been my all time best if not for the screw up. And yes, that 60' time was with my Nittos that I put on this year Time for a few new parts.....soon.....

 

[BadVoodoo]

Did you forget that your car has more than 3 forward gears j/k had to say it.

That is a nice 60' time though..is that still with your bald nittos?

OUCH!! Cheap shot!! Times are with my new Nittos.

[whitehorseupnorth]

Oh man that sucks!! That 60's is unreal for DR's. You could have had a 11.4 easily...

So I wasnt completely wrong then..Missed 4th... because you didnt know you had more than 3 gears...then went back into second

I figured as much. Damn non shifting ass T-56!

11.4 was so close guys.I am going to get some Royal Purple Syncromesh for the tranny. I had it in my GT, and it worked great. I am also going to get a Fiore firewall adjuster, and quick release clutch quadrant. Hopefully this will help improve my shift quality, and and somewhat eliminate that "notchy" feel. I plan on getting a little practice in at Winterport, and NED by the end of Septtember. Let me tell you, I will be ready for Tasca day!!

You must be kidding, right? My car has more than 3 gears Maybe that explains my crappy gas mileage

So what's the deal with your Cobra Fred? Is it still up here in Maine?

 

[gaslight]

Thats so coincidental..I got in my car the other morning and my mirror was on the floor also...the glue let go just like yours...dont they just slide apart?

the damn thing clips onto the metal foot. I can't unclip it. No Dan there isn't a allen screw.

ahh damn. I had an 86 Escort as a first car.....the mirror fell off one time too. There was a small allen set screw holding the mounting block. Guess they changed that huh....
