my friends s10 we lowered.tell me what you think.

[quadrcr161]

not big on the wheels, but if its his style, then roll them. should be lower though, the s-series trucks are soem of the easiest to bagg/lower.

with a static drop yes, but when your bagged and driving, dropping the rear will help stable out the ride. :D

you should have been able to tell that there is an ABS module on the master cylinder, ABS didnt start on the blazer till 89, TBI started in 86 and continued until 93 when CPI was an option, then I think 96 all the engines available were CPI.

[hessianmx111]

Looks pretty good, although I don't care for the wires at all but if it's what he likes then it's all good.

[Fender Bender]

i could give you a laundry list of things i would do differently, but its pointless because its not my truck, not my style, and my opinion isnt going to change anybodies mind...so ill just say looks good and keep up the good work.

What i think? I think you should keep lowering it till its about 6' under ground ,,then bury that piece of crap. Thats what i think,,and you asked;)

[QUADMASTER]

who do you think would win,the civic or the s10.we have not raced yet.the civic has a v-tech and the s10 has a 4.7 vortech v6.

that would be a 4.3, I would put my money on the s10, as long as it gets traction.

[QUADMASTER]

yeah i meant to say 4.3 sorry.his shuts off at 100mph and i'll probably pass him when that happens.i know the civic is pretty quick and it has the weight advantage also.were probably gonna go to the track this weekend and run them.

[kicken250x]

chucked, dont you just love it when people know everything?

as for the truck, it looks good, i agree with him on the front needs to be about an inch or an inch and a half lower. im not big on the wheels either but if someone wanted to give them to me, id deffinitely rock them! hahaha

as for the civic and s-10 race...my money is on the s-10, i know how fast 92-5's are and they wont hold aginst a 4.3 if he can drive and itll hook up. im not trying to be an ***** but stock (it has intake i know...you get all of 3 hp and alot of annoying sound with it)1SOHC civics just arent fast VEEE TEK(aka VTEC) or not... dont think im a honda hater either, im driving an 88 CRX with a big ol motor swap in it right now, and its still not fast and i work at a small honda dealer as a mechanic.

S-10 > civic

sorry i dont know the history on blazers and s-10s, that dont mean i cant put in a crate engine in a truck

[QUADMASTER]

yeah the cold air intake probably didnt help that much but i got it for cheap and it looks alot better also.were still going to the track this weekend and i'll videotape it and try to post it on the internet.i think he'll get me on the holeshot but i'll pass him whenever he hits 100mph.my car doesn't shut off at 100mph.but i guess we'll see.

[quadrcr161]

glad your taking it to the track instead of the street, but you wont hit 100mph in 1/4 mile. the 4.3 will ge you off the line and prob beat you. actually the stock air box with a K&N and the resignator removed will show better performance.

[QUADMASTER]

well,the back of the truck is on the frame so it cant get traction that much,it gets traction somewhat but not like the civic.

[quadrcr161]

you didnt notch it or anything? why did you do it that way? you can really mess things up and make the truck unsafe to drive like that.

not really, Theres a reason new cars take air from outside the engine compartment.

[quadrcr161]

stock it has small piping that pulls air into the airbox, it draws in colder air, thats why some companies offer a cold air intakes that goes into the fender wells, but those usually act like a straw and suck up water ruinign the motor. most people installing intakes are doing it to increase the piping from the filter to the TB.the intake he has now is just sucking hot air in the engine bay. if he would have left the stock airbox, and removed the resonator and smaller piping to the air box it would help. the civic has a big plastic resonator under the fenderwell, and usually has a hole in the front of the airbox that the smaller piping fits in. if you remove that you have a hole rigth behind the headlight and some in the bottom of the airbox that will draw in air from that direction, and the plastic box will help insulate the air passing through the filter. if you look at some of the intakes people will make a plate to go between the air filter and the open engine bay to keep out some of the hotter air, and some use products like the comptech icebox.

from my truck i know its a b**** to get them little s-10s to hook up on the line, weather sitting on frame or not, and once you get them f***ers hopping you can do some good damage to yer drive shaft. I had to get a new one put in about 3 months fater i bought my truck. but drop about 200lbs right above the back wheels and it'll grab and pull pretty good

[96lapis coupe]

Niether one of you will even hit 85mph in the 1/4. I'm guessing mid 17's @80mph will be the quickest either of those will run.

the s-10 will do low 16's if he can drive it

[96lapis coupe]

Scan and post the timeslips tomorrow then, until then I'll stand by my guesstimates.

[quadrcr161]

im thinking along his times, you can get a 1.6 quicker, but not with just a filter. and also the s-10 isnt going to transfer weight right to hook up, it will just spin.

[Alberta_Qaudin]

if the s-10's an auto, and ya play the pedal right you can get it rolling and get it to really hook up going into 2nd and it wont spin as much, if ya get it to shift into 2nd right it'll pull wicked

[QUADMASTER]

i'll post up the time slips.were going to run on the eighth mile track though.there isn't a 1/4 mile track around here so we'll do it that way.hopefully we'll get to do it this weekend.
