Not sure why this got moved to the drag forum instead of the trash bin. He obviously is not hitting 155 at the drag strip.

 

do you have proof? no....


dont be a mod... its not ur job, MONKEY!

 

why would this need to be moved to the trash bin? is that because you dont find it useful.. well stfu if you dont like it man. its a legit question about whether or not anyone gets belt slip at those speeds. it belongs in the general forum because it is a general question.


just for the record we will say this took place on a road course and i have my laptop hooked up at the track.. so drag racing would be the wrong forum.. and so would the road racing forum since im not asking a question about either.. im asking a question about the mechanics of this vehicle at speed.

 

I have had a similar experience, it was not the belt, it was the windshield seal, had front windshield replaced and the trim was not "locked" down, snapped in, this was on an airstrip of course.

 

ah, good info maybe that was it. this windshield had been replaced. thanks for the heads up im going to check that.

 

that looks like it is most likely where that little sound came from.. its not snapped in tight, and it makes logical sense that with that wind resistance it would cause a high speed vibration to sound like a squeal..

thanks for the help man.

 

hm, mine makes that noise too....guess i'll check the windshield.

 

Same here but I was thinking it might be the TC or the tires. Mine if very loud.

 

OT, curious on whats the beef with Warrtalon.....he seems to be in most threads helping..in his own way.

 

He does help.

 

lol warr cant even say anything anymore with out getting flamed

 

Check your driver side mirror where it bolts to the door...I bet you money it sticks out farther then your passenger mirror. At around 145 I get a lovely sound from wind getting caught in the gap between the mirror and the door. Almost every Evo I have seen (at least on the IX) has the same problem. Try a run with the windows down and I bet you won't get the sound.

BTW - I've hit 165 mph at 7700 rpm (5 speed).

 

thanks man I will try that. I had to let off a few times just of the fear of f---it up. that fastest it been was 162 at 7350 and now that i got meth I can't wait to see what a lot more boost will get me.

 

StreetthisEvo. Man you are 100% on the money , I just got done looking at mine and it just like you said. Now how the hell dio I fix it
