    I have all ap classes. I get to school at 7am and dont leave from practice until 6. I have a good four hours of homework a night too. like denny says. its just not worth it. besides I bet every one of you guys would love free gas. lol

I won the bracket race class and took home $50 and to top it all off the final race was me against a Fiero and he fucking redlighted.

    Now stop fiddle-fucking around and get serious.
    Best I got with the 90 was 13.46 @ 99.

    When I had a pair of radials it was 2.0-2.1.

    It now has gears, and hopefully with full drag suspension I can get 1.8 or better.

    I'd like a 1.7, but I don't see that with stock power.

    Denny, you really ride this kid hard. Why? Is he your illegitimate son or something? He asked about gears. Not whether or not you approve of him as a person.
    What the hell are you talking about?! Did you attend the same school as matts5.0?

    Yeah, its twisting a little. If you had really sticky tires and some more power, I would guess you would have already begun ripping the mounts out. I would get to stiffening the chassis before I got too crazy with the racing. Are your subframes small/cheap? You might be able to upgrade there. Definitely do the weld in upper and lower plates. I also had a bar in the rear hatch area of my 93 that connected the rear "frame rails"
    I'll get a picture of the subframes later.

    Besides larger subframes and a cross bar what else besides a cage?

    Welding the torque boxes will be done before it makes another pass.

    Dude, you tried to call me out and looked like an idiot because you misread what I said, then got called out by two other people. You finished it with a "I bet you wouldn't say that to my face." comment.

    Here's another odd thing my car did when I had the radials.

    Behind the back seat there is a cross brace that goes center to upper corner of seat and is spot welded from the factory.

    It broke the welds and twisted the brace.. I welded it back and it broke again last week after I was getting on it. Why is it flexing so much?

    Is this a common problem with coupes? I've only had hatches before.

    Would it benifit me to remove the stock brace and replace with more sturdy materials?

    Welded sub frames, not full length.
