go to http://www.imgur.com or any picture hosting site. (google it)

open up an account and after you upload the pics on that site there will be a "direct link" or a BB code for the picture you uploaded. Come back to the forums open up a comment where u want the picture and click IMG and post the code you copied in between the img code and the picture should pop up on these forums. Hope that helps :)

Gee sounds good like most BS should. Either show us the proof or not. Your post stated 10s on the 1/4 mile. I say prove it.

No, I'm being realistic. Honestly, is he some friend of yours. 2007 and only 12 post nice if there were more. Now we're suppose to scream accolades to his accomplishments.

At least he's using the mx-3 instead of another car. He's doing things with it that most of us could never do. :shrug:

He's showing us what the car is capable of. He could just have never posted anything at all and then we would have never known about the car. In one of his older posts, he lists his build setup.

I'm not used to post, and almost always use the computer for work, so I dont have facebook or tweeter, but managed to put one of the most recent photos at the track and the latest dyno page and the 10 sec. pass, verify the car # on the photo and car# on pass.

Daninski, don't be a hater, just beleive! I wont tell you I did it with 5k, because in reality I've spent about 20k, mostly because almost everything is custom made and other things did not worked.

Savin, please help me and make a link to previous post.

As for the transmission welded differential, and PAR 3rd and 4th gears, MX-6 shafts, upgrade fuel system, almost all other parts are stock. I'm using Microtech computer for fuel and timing. Recently went to the dyno and got 465 hp at 26 psi, on the 11.01 pass was at 28, on the dyno noticed I'm almost out of fuel (max duty) on injectors. I'm on the process o improving fuel delivery either by better pumps and higher fuel presure (those are the inmmediate plans) or change the injectors, but they're to expensive, to try and run 30 to 35 psi with 500 to 525hp aproximate and run 10's without wheel bar.

Here's your other thread as well! viewtopic.php?f=19&t=60066

I think we've all seen people come on here and BS us. Tito's claims were a little hard to believe without proof. You seem legit so let me ask you if I may, why not do a little write up on your successes. Maybe tell us what worked for you and what didn't. I myself would like to know how you handled wheel hop to start with. Additionally 26 PSI of boost is respectable for sure, what did you do to the engine to handle that? Do you go through a lot of front axles :lol: ?

Thats impressive! So nice to see a good time posted by a v6 with all the regulars going to BPs, good work sir, and Im glad you showed it even if others werent so appreciative *cough dan cough*. Yours is the first Ive seen running a mixed suspension too, does it help having the coilovers only on the front for the launch?

I have coilovers on front and back with the (KYB) shocks except that the base where the original spring go were removed. The car is very stiff almost no movement. As for the axles when I had the original MX-3 broke a few, when I changed to MX-6 which are bigger have not broken yet. In regards to wheel hop, DON'T DO IT, it brakes axles and trannys, with slicks this won't happen. In regards to the engine I use Pauter rods, and Ross pistons, all other things are stock including bearing caps, and engine bolts. The secret is good tuning, decrease timing and don't be cheap with gas, when racing I always use VP C-16 which has 116 octane. I don't use the car much for the street, mostly because the car has no A/C and it's always hot in Puerto Rico, but for street set-up I use premium gas and low boost (about 18 psi) at that setting there are about 375 hp, I run the car rich and less timing.

Congrats Tito :D , I'm glad to see you finally got 10s. Still on a KL right? I remember a few years ago when I think you mentioned you were at 11.0 on 25psi looking for tens with your KL.

Without a doubt 10's are a real accomplishment. :2thumbsup: Now how about that write up. :wink:
