the chute ??? i wonder what the estamated ET for that car is

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

15-17's like 99 percent of the rest of the hondas ::)

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

i like the seat :)

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

This is so HT repost. :D

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

lol, whats sad.. I spend more time lurking their "ALL MOTOR" and "FI Forum" than I do here.. :-\

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

so is honda officaially entering the 'funny car' status?

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

Honda isn't doing much of anything. :P (money wise for racers)


Jeff, come on, the A/M forum? That's unexpected. I went to Battle last weekend and remembered why I don't like all motor cars. They scream so loud it sounds like they'll blow up in no time at all. :-\

They're not going to get far with a header with only 2 runners. Leave it to the Canadians :P

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

there is a nitromethane/turbo integra funny car

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

I want one :D

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

I wonder how much it would cost to build something like this?

Ive been dreaming of a car like this...

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

When you're going through all the work of making a tube chassis car, WHY make it FWD?
Also, I piss on "all-motor" tuners.

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

You guess are sooooooooooooo dumb. This car will easily hit 6's in the 1/4 mile, they're rockin' the gen 5676789372478237489723 altezza tail lights. :o

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

Why not? :P

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

See, in racing there are these things called "classes" and making it RWD would put it in another class.

the car would be like a second faster if they droped the motor on the rear wheels.

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

Yup, building a FWD drag racer is like eating cereal with a fork. You finish eventually but it would be a lot faster to use the spoon.

Come to the other side Jeff. Its ok. ;D

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

Why use a 4 cyl instead of 8?
Why use an 8 cyl instead of a jet engine?
Why don't you make an a tube chassis RWD?
The questions are endless.
The fact is, they are doing a nice job on that car. First Canadian tube chassis and it's what they want. Not what other people want them to build.

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

well ----, I must be on the wrong forum then since most of us here have fwd cars.

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

There are lots of engines that work, how much power you make really just depends on the size of your turbocharger...
But fwd is just against all logic in drag racing, since all acceleration IS trying to move weight from the front wheels and put it on the back wheels, you just never get the same kind of traction and there are enough traction problems in powerful RWD cars.

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

You guys are so ------- ignorant..

FWD cars are coming a very long way. lets compare Pro FWD and Pro RWD classes a quick second.

http://www.saturnmotorsports.com/pix/ProFront.jpg

Lisa Kubo 7.821 @ 195.05

http://www.nhrasportcompact.com/2004...lson_hoyos.jpg

Nelson Hoyos 7.658 @ 181.79

PRO FWD is in mid 7's with almost 200mph trap speeds with 4cylinder engines.

http://www.stephanpapadakis.com/cars/images/rwd.jpg

Stephan Papadakis runs 6.779 @ 203.19 in pro RWD and this is a 6cylinder class, he is also the fastest RWD sport compact in the world.

FWD has come a very long way and it will be soon with fwd/rwd are going to be very close in times.

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

yeah but they can't drift 8)

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

what if you have a spork? 8)

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

Egg Zachary!
All-motor FWD and RWD compete all the time. RWD bugs and mazdas seem to be the only competition for FWD Hondas.
Do a comparison with N/A cars Jeff.

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

what about front engine front wheel drive vs rear engine rear wheel drive.

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

just put a huge aluminum wing on your hood and then you don't have to worry about traction problems.

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

=) agreed, FWD and RWD cars compete in the same class "All Motor" (4cyls)

http://www.nhrasportcompact.com/2004..._Scheepers.jpg

http://www.nhrasportcompact.com/2002...us_padilla.jpg

Ken Scheeper & Jesus Padilla, who drive RX7's and Larry and Scott Kelly who drive the fastest RWD 4cylcs in the world. They compete with the fastest fwd cars like Scott Mohler and Leslie Durst. All their fastest ET's are low 10's and high 9's. Both FWD/RWD in the same class.

http://www.nhrasportcompact.com

It's all there about sport compacts, if you want to know more about the classes, how fast they are, whos kicking everyones ass check it out.

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

damn, Jeff is really taking this post seriously.. I don't see him posting anyplace else but he is on top of this one :-\

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

they actualy put an rx-7 in a 4 cylinder class
hows that suppost to work ???

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

It would be so much fun to make a full tube chassis. I cant wait till im out of college and can have time for projects.

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

If you compare the trap speeds vs the ETs on FWD vs RWD cars, the RWD generally have much better times with the same trap speeds, because they launch harder and get better 60ft times.

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

steph uses a NSX motor doesnt he?

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

yeah

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

Jesus Padilla
9.95 @ 131.75 mph
RWD RX7 (Fastest NA RX7)

Leslie Durst
9.93 @ 134.99
FWD CRX (fastest NA Honda)

Looks pretty damn close to me ::)

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

wow, jeff, complimenting something Canadian.. how many tylenol 3's you on? :P

Re:Canada's first all tube chassis FWD Honda..
 

damn jeff is taking this post seriously...and making really good points too
