Maybe you can eat your burger and drive, but I bet I have more fun.....
And any time you think you can run 13s with me, come look me up.

Why did ou revive this thread...?

Autos suck live with it. Your excuses are pitiful.

Your slow automatic would get wasted by any of the other Z31Ts on this forum. If you think you can keep up you are kidding yourself.

Oh by the way your car is slow har har...

Just to name a few in case you wanted to try it...

James - when his gets done
Eric (the Z mod) 15 PSI. Must I say more?
Todd - Just plain badass
Mine - 10 PSI and my clutch slips and I would take an auto on
And Last but not least
MarcZ31 - Intercooled, T-66 Turbo, and a major sleeper. And "unknown" PSI

Heads should be off and be ready to get sent off by next weekend.
Plans are to have it on the dyno and back on the road in July or early August.

Mine was on the road, for about 20 minutes. Think I was sold a defective intake gasket, it appears to suck coolant under idle vacuum but blows nothing under boost..... Compression is 110 across the board, better than it was before I pulled it apart. At least the Hgs and the T-belt and all the seals came out ok, looks like I'll be pulling the intake mani again today. School tommorrow, maybe I can finish by then.

Well I had a problem today but it was simple. I was doing some hard launches and then out of no where it started missing like crazy. So I was all like damn more money going into this sucker. Nursed it home to find out that the coil cable was off the distributor about an inch and was arcing all the way over to the distributor to keep it running. Very impressive light show if I must say so myself.

Meh...More impressive were my Jettas brakes today. Have you ever seen brake rotors glowing red? Or have you seen pads catch on fire? On a street car that is.

I've seen brakes smoking, but today I caught the Jettas brake pads on fire and turned the rotors solid red. Beat that.

Oh and it wasn't because of hard driving...Something went very wrong.

Time to upgrade for next auto-x season.

11s in the 1/8th maybe? Post some timeslips and car stats and pics if you want us to beleive an automatic Z31 can run 11s in the 1/4..........

EDIT: And if you have a V8 swap that automatically makes your claims null and void. We don't do or talk about and have low tolerance for V8 swaps around here, you might want to check with HybridZ.org.

I smell rice...

Running 11s would mean your automatic died a long time ago and you swapped to a 5spd. Post a time slip and a list of modifications.
