holy crap guys, I got some nice tire screaching action in 2nd gear the other day when i raced a '8? prelude and kicked his @$$!He was clueless. I love beating honduhs. I'm so proud of my ghetto car I just had to tell someone. Damn i can't wait till I can break 'em lose goin' into 3rd!
YEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Hehehehehehe, nice job man! Represent!!! LOL. But yeah. How are you planning on chirping/screaching 3rd gear? I can do it on REALLY wet ground but that doesn't count.
BTW minute rice sentra, I was looking at your pics and saw your "how to need new tires" pic and saw that you were burning out with you standing half-way outside of the car. How the He77 did you do that? Just your e-brake? Wow nutso!!!
LMAO - new tires are probly a must by now. lol. Tell us that smoke is just lingering and not from the tires as you stood outside wit your foot on the throttle. I don't think my e16s could chirp 1st even with the stock 13's.

Webfoot - is yours a manual? With mine I ocasionally break them loose without even meaning to. Not that there is a lot of power available once they stop spinning, but with such small tires there just isn't a lot of grip.

Have you read into the weber conversion much? I'm really happy with it (although I'd prefer MPFI, which is on my list but still down the road a bit). I'm still getting 25+ city, somewhere comfortably over 30 on the highway (haven't done a full highway tank since converting) and it revs smoothly to 5500.

Let's see...
Distributor was probably $50 on eBay, I think $120 or so if I'd had to get it locally (and I paid that much in total because I had to replace the ignition module for $80)
Carb was about $30 used on eBay. Not in perfect shape, but it gets the job done
Adapter is $20 from webercarbsdirect.com
Air cleaner was $20 or so, got it from webercarbsdirect.com also
Throttle linkage is a pain, I believe either carbs.com or somebody else had it for $20 or $30. I didn't know that at the time and rigged something up which is holding together so far.
All in all, I did it for $250-300 with used parts. You may be able to do as well or better depending on what you can find at local junkyards or otherwise.
If you wanted to do it with all new parts, Carbs.net has the entire conversion kit (fuel, not ignition) for 329.95. That's linkage, carb, adapter, air filter, etc...). That's the best price I've seen. You'd still have to get the distributor separately.

nope i was done with the burnout when i stepped out of the car, there was just so much smoke hanging around it looked like i was still going. Hell, i did this burnout for like 30 sec and afterwards there where some steel belts sticking out of the outside edge of the tire and there was absolutely no tread left and a couple of grooves in the asphalt. i should have got pics of that. i will next time i feel the urge to purchase new tires.
but that doesn't count.
