...what sucks the most, I had to sell her a couple months ago...it hurts seeing her load up on someone elses trailer and then it kicked in even more when I realized that she wasn't ever coming back...it's good tho cause she'll get raced regularly now, like I was building her to do...good SCCA/Grand Am, wheel to wheel road course racing...I still miss her on ocassion!
@monkeyfukinacoconut And that's only when it was brand new, or at least freshly rebuilt. 30+ years of wear and tear in the engine, transmission, and rear end is gonna bring that 170 down substantially.
Probably not due to the difference in eras. As the Eclipse isn't the fastest thing on the road, it's newer technology; plus the DOHC vs. my SOHC plays a big part too. Like I told someone before, it's set up for cornering fast to make up for the lack of straight line speed on the track.
It's stock under the hood, so whatever those specs are. The handling changes that I've done for the corners on the track make up for the loss of time on the straights.
I went to reply to the person who said it sounded nice, but hit remove by mistake...so if you see this, I was going to say, Thanks! Sorry about hitting the wrong button also.
Monza header into a 2-1/2" pipe (not looping over rear transverse arms, but going right under them) into the Magnaflow. I let her run a little rich (the little smoke seen), just to be on the safe side; I'd prefer to foul a plug than run her lean and ruin a perfectly good motor! Glad you like the sound, I love it because it doesn't sound like every other import on the road!
