Eagle Summit/Mitsu RVR SG clone sleeper: 11.69@120
Took my Summit to the track for the first time this year. It was a very wet night, so I wasn't expecting anything too impressive, but set my PB!
Stock 4G63 block, 20G turbo @23psi and pump gas.

Sorry I missed your post. This is a stock tranny with Shep Racing DSM 4 spider center diff and a matching Viscous Coupling. Stock VC is around 30% smaller than DSM VC, other that aside, transmission is identical to DSM AWD transmission.
This was the fastest race to day:

Thanks for the kind words! This has been a very rewarding project! People really LOVE this van at the track! Even the V8/NASCAR crowd, who usually can not stand imports, ends up rooting for it!
Yahoo Autos did a story on it which will answer most questions. But I wanted to make one of these going back to the 90's, when they were too expensive as an extra "toy car".

But even people who fell victim to this van, are pretty cool about it. The owner of that rev Viper turned out to be a very nice guy and gave me two more rematches. He should have beaten me in one of those races, but he missed his 2-3 shift.
BTW, this is the NASCAR style race I also do with it:

Nice project! Any updates.
"with a 1/4 mile minimum of 11.5 at 120. no one in USA has done this that I am aware of"
I have done 11.65 at 120 with very mild (25psi) pump gas tune. I do not have a roll bar, so I am limited to 11.50 and my home track is VERY strict! So I am not pushing it there.

Just a quick update on this van. I am hording a bunch of part for the next level of updates:
- half gas tank mod (get rid of saddle tank feature)
- 5 lug conversion (DSM spindles up front and RVR spindles in the rear)
- RVR rear disc conversion (it currently has drums)
- Big/light brakes upfront (using TCE DSM brakes).
I would also like to upgrade to EVO 8-9 rear end, but we will see if I can work that in.
