Well, I went to the track Friday night for the first time on slicks- I picked up some used 24.5 x 8.5 x 13 M&H slicks on lensos. They already had ~25 passes on them before this run. Car + driver weighs about 2300lbs.

<FONT SIZE="4"><FONT COLOR="red">Best run- 10.897 @ 132.67mph!!</FONT></FONT>

It's an awesome feeling to finally hit the 10's.

It would've happened months ago if I would've quit screwing around with drag radials and just picked up some slicks!

These runs were on 100 octane unleaded.

There's definitely more left in it with a little suspension work and a decently prepped track. Fresh slicks would help too, but I'm happy with it as is. This was my first time on slicks, so I spent most of the night dialing things in.

Here's some pics and vids, enjoy!

This was my first 10.99 pass, running out of gas in 4th.

The 10.89 pass right after refueling.

Compilation Vid!

ATYPR · 07-08-2007, 06:36 AM

DaveF · 07-08-2007, 06:40 AM

what is the rest of your setup ?

Professor X · 07-08-2007, 07:17 AM

Great times man. I too, have watched your posts for long time now. It's great to see someone stick with the same car for so long and see the results from hard work.

Way to go man, long time coming. Now put some fresh slicks in and do some suspension goodies.

fmfkid250 · 07-08-2007, 07:31 AM

the holes in the bumper did it!

good job on the 10s with a budget build!

fjt · 07-08-2007, 09:04 AM

I am SO FREAKING HAPPY for you man.. Way to go with your setup, the build and the tunning.

and thank you for pushing the Vitaras as far as you have.

661rex89si · 07-08-2007, 09:42 AM

if times like this beast just produced with vitara's keep happening there not going to be a cheap option for us single slammers lmao.

borne · 07-08-2007, 09:49 AM

fjt · 07-08-2007, 10:25 AM

there should be a 2nd setup running 10 sec soon.. its just a matter of having a good run.. another member is currently running 11.1 @ 125mph on his vitara setup..so we will hear soon about him moving into the 10's

07-08-2007, 10:46 AM

I don't think it's driven every day, but certainly sees it's fair share of the road. JFK would have to chime in for that one.

Oh stock sleeves too, but I figured you guys guessed that lol.

Really makes me want to just skip pump gas and go race gas tuning right away.

jdm inc · 07-08-2007, 12:18 PM

congrats man keep up the good work

JFK78 · 07-08-2007, 12:21 PM

Thanks guys. 10 seconds has been a long time coming.

These runs were open DP, stock axles.

This is my only car but since we caged it I've been driving it much less, and I'm just going to get something else to daily drive. This car is going to be still street legal/registered/insured, but pretty much just a drag car. It's just too much for the street, and I'm too worried about something happening to it anymore.

still_slow · 07-08-2007, 12:34 PM

running out of gas is kinda scary thats an easy way to pop a motor.

JFK78 · 07-08-2007, 12:39 PM

Yup, I've lost one in the past because of that.

Gauge showed 1/4 tank on that pass. I just wasn't paying enough attention to the fuel, too busy dialing in the slick pressure/launch rpm, etc. This was my first time on slicks.

88_DX · 07-08-2007, 01:52 PM

sweet car sick times

RaceProfessor · 07-08-2007, 02:55 PM

Very inspiring.
