ok so i havn't been on here in a while so i thought ide put some progress report up
well so far from my last post i have stripped the inside of my car out made a custom air intake
my first drag meet i went to when all i had out of the car was my back seat and i had a air pod on i could not run my car any faster than 10.7 secs down the 1/8 mile and my auto was half stuffed then
since then i also got the auto fixed and last weekend had another race meet and a new layer of paint (wasn't the best job my first car ive painted) and i ran a bit better i ran a 10.3 sec with a fair bit of wheel spin and came second in the 10-1.5 second time bracket so i didnt do to bad then came the end of the day the burnout comp my fist burnout comp i went in it lol car is only a single spinner and i gave it all it had and wasn't stopping till i popped the tyre and sure enough after a few mins i popped my tyre and ripped half my bumper off and my car wouldn't start was just a bad battary from heat. oh and i completely stuffed my paint and there is a few new un wanted noises coming from motor :) here is a few pics

this is my car painted well its almost finished

Take off the windscreen wipers and side mirrors for less wind drag and remove the door trims to lose some extra weight.

Its pressure packed and you're wondering why he didn't mask it up?

I'm betting they use twice as much paint as they needed due to spraying it into a paper bag half of the time...
