Borrowed my buddies gtech thing which is actually called something else (Belltronics Vector FX2) no idea how good they are and he said it is 3-4 years old. Anyway I tried to do a few 1/4 mile runs with it.
1st I figured I would do one without launching to get a rough idea so in case the clutch screwed up from the 1st launch then I wouldnt have any idea. Well that didnt go so well. I eased off the line and it said I did:
2.0 60ft
13.2 @ 110
My 1st gear for some reason is breaking up like the rev limiter but at like just past 6000rpm. It has been doing it I think ever since I got the car running again, well I figured I would try to wind it out to 7000 but that didnt work so I hit the lets call it rev limiter (breaking up ordeal at between 6000-6500) then went through the gears.
I lined up again and launched hard and spun the tires pretty good but then the power plug popped out (guess I didnt have it in far enough) so the damn thing shut off so that run was aborted. I went for a 3rd run and blazed the tires again and went to shift to 2nd and it didnt go in so I popped it in and then had no clutch anymore
.So then I drove the 5 miles back to my house with no clutch taking detours on side roads if a red light was gonna stay to long since I couldnt stop at the light without shutting car off in gear and then starting in gear and jerking forward until it would start. I made it home and now the car is parked. Curious if maybe when the clutch cools down if it will unweld it self, if not I might be taking it apart sooner than later.
