little carnage from the track

SWEET2KSTANG · May 12th, 2008, 03:34 AM

went to the track friday night and of course i broke something. me and doc just installed the new bushings in the control arms, and of course i bust them.

here the old ones:

after i got a hold of the new ones:

didnt make it into the 11's yet, something always have to happen. my wife was racing friday night too, this cut our night short. best i got was a 12.1 with 1.6 60's all night. there was a small knock at the beginging and i just tried, should of known something was wrong when the car wouldnt track strait at all. it finally went to total crap when my wife was racing.

sounds about like my car. one thing after another...

PapaSmurf · May 12th, 2008, 04:53 AM

Damn, those are some good 60ft times! Whats your rearend sutup? Are you still using the m/t et streets or are you running there bias plys now? Sorry to hear about your continued bad luck but your almost in the 11 sec zone.

jivepepper · May 12th, 2008, 05:55 AM

Man you're rough on shit. When I took my stockers off a few weeks ago with 150k they looked great, lol. What kind are those?

R3dFyre02 · May 12th, 2008, 06:29 AM

what kind are they? they look like the busted kind.

Sorry couldnt resist.

Good luck with your car.

dang that sux, if you dont mind me asking, you still running on the same setup, 125shot? sorry, ive been MIA for awhile.

Why don't you just go with some spherical bearings?

Exactly what I was going to suggest, I run all solid with urethane press in uppers on the rear. Also if you hitting it that hard it is time for welded torque boxes and axle tubes.

White99stang · May 12th, 2008, 09:44 AM

if you want to run without those parts breaking your going to need to get spherical bushings, thats what i have all the way around, not a single piece of rubberr in my rear end. then you can say hello to 1.4 60fts

HMUSN · May 12th, 2008, 10:08 AM

yup.. spherical ftw.

^ nice avi.

White99stang · May 12th, 2008, 10:11 AM

i love my new avi

SWEET2KSTANG · May 12th, 2008, 11:02 AM

i planned on going spherical after we got done with doc's mach. i need some for the rack and pinion as well. i was on et street bias ply's, i just went to an et drag 26*10*15. i went to a 3.73 as well which is working a hell of a lot better than the 4.10's i had. when i switch cams out and get some better top end power, i may try going back to a steeper gear. i sold my pistons and rings to doc and and will wait a while for my bottom end build.

But your probably not leaving at 4-5k on the bottle with drag slicks either.

futureMACH1racer · May 12th, 2008, 03:49 PM

No, Doc I'm not I have street tires. I still drive my car hard though. From launching it to making laps on the road course. I drive my car hard.

MustangMatt96GT · May 12th, 2008, 03:54 PM
