Dyno Day Smack Talk..
« on: February 09, 2004, 06:31:52 PM »
So Dyno day is like 4 months away.
The smack talk should start soon..
Paul(Pipes and I) have a bet that I'm going to make more HP if my car is running by then.
James are you going to make it out?
130 days..

Wooohoo free labour!!!!

Alright alright. I can't afford fancy race weight fibreglass fenders..
but aren't stock ones light enough?
Are you going to run a complete interior with all the trimmings? And sounddeadening?
Just interested...
I like metal preferably because you can almost fix anything made out of it.

How much do stock fenders weigh?
Not that it really matters. Dynos read hp not times(like drag racing)
Still though will be pretty interesting to see what your engine puts out compared to mine..
I guess If I really wanted to save weight I should strip my paint job off huh? Save a couple ounces :P

You call that faded thing a paint job? Macco right?
Stock fenders are around 10 each I believe. (I'm sure someone will correct me on that)

fiberglass = FUN AND WEIGHT REDUCTION!

if I had the money, I'd do a few fiberglass pieces on a race car.  but for daily driving on the street, I prefer to have a stronger hold incase of an accident!
