Heh, leave it to someone from Morgan City to put some serious drag racing MK3 together You going to be racing that beast at NPR or State Capital? Good luck with your project.

 

[ma70man]

[51Cards]

[soarer]

[theguywiththesupra]

thanks for the compliments. i will be racing it at NPR and probably capital as well.. i would really like to put it together in compliance with idrc regulations. i do have more pics, and they will be posted very soon.

 

[Bishop92T]

Let me know when you go down to either track, I'm in Baton Rouge. I'd like to meet up and watch that beast drag.

 

[Acroth]

you should put 24" spinners on the rears just for kicks when you roll it off a trailer at the track.... then swap on the big ass rubbers (massive sarcasm, incase you couldn't tell)

 

[bdekoning]

did you just back half it or does it got a complete tube chassis?

 

[theguywiththesupra]

i back halfed it, with a 4 link suspension hooked to a ford 9" that i had to take quite a bit off of to fit.. the cage isn't done, but im thinking about tubing the whole front end. i also have a guy that is going to be doing my sheetmetal for me, i don't deal with sheetmetal, but everything else...

 

[theguywiththesupra]

lol @ acroth

 

[MKIIISupraGuy]

good luck and keep us posted. 87 hardtop is definitely the way to go man

Hey "theguywiththesupra", i can't believe you're from Morgan City? I grew up in Houma and Lafayette. We always called Morgan City the "Oilfield junkyard of the World"

Anyways, this is a friend of mine here in Austin, he's building the same car as you. Contact him if you have questions.

[tissimo]

damn... big meaty tires :drooling: good luck with the car!

 

[theguywiththesupra]

Im not exactly "FROM" Morgan City.. im just currently here..i just got back from school. the car is what i was working on while i was in school. Does anyone think that i can build the power out of the 7m that i could build out of the 2j? let me know what you think.. the slicks are almost completely flat in this picture, these are for mock-up purposes only.

 

[Bishop92T]

Most 7m power I've seen was ~750rwhp. Most 2jz power I've seen was ~1100rwhp.

 

[Thermactor]

Thing is, there are already plenty of purpose built 2JZ-GTE drag cars rolling around. Why not be unique and build a 7M?

 

[76celicagt]

why start with such a heavy car? why not buy a cheaper 3rd gen celica or such?
