i havent looked at the link yet, but it would be john shepards super quick mitsu talon.

it used to run in NHRA sport compact class PRO STREET against the titan supra. but he decided to take it up a notch and is running slicks now and a bit of weight reduction. its still a manual box and he uses the clutch to change gears unlike some people here in australia

oh forgot to add, he seems to now run only in puerto rico, they mainly just match race.

if your into drag racing check out agracingphoto website, or the hardcore pr site, theres heaps of awesome stuff on there.

It reads like a Spanish -> English translation but:

" The man behind all that is John Shepherd the same that years ago intimidate the Street tire class some years ago, but like always every true racer have the same trouble in satisfying themselves and John have that problem too. Because of that he are in continues changes looking to beat himself every single time gets on the track. Other good things in this project are the determination and perseverance that have John with the same car and how he always fined new things to get the car faster and stronger especially in the drive train the weak link in every AWD except this one. Shepherd make himself the best technician Mitsubishi Trans. in US maybe World Wide and the 7.97 @ 179 speak for him. "

Touchy, touchy! OK, I get it now. A race car ran a high 7, cool.

No, a 2500lb, street driven 4 cylinder car ran a high 7.

FFS, it has a manually shifted box - I thought you would've pulled the end off one by now, Kenny?

:D

    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
