At the track!

[MrmnGrl]

Who all is going to go to the track this friday?? When does the season end anyway?

[QWIKRNU]

I will be there.

[96gsx]

I'll be out their.

[AWDfanatic]

I won't be there after the fiasco last week and the fact that my car is a miserable pile of crab that is set on making my life a living hell.

[98spydert]

See ya there

Your car can't be that bad. Is yours an sti? What kind of times are you running?

[AWDfanatic]

There is something wrong with it. I keep hitting fuel cut at 6000 rpm, redline is at at 7. I don't know what's wrong but it always seems to be something. I need some engine management so I can tune some of the quirks out. We'll see.

[MrmnGrl]

Brad- I hope that you get everything worked out! That car is beautiful, by the way!

[BlackMagic]

Not me. Back in school now for my last year...I have big plans for this coming spring though...:)

[KryptoSol]

Not me.??Back in school now for my last year...I have big plans for this coming spring though...:)


Let me guess... performance shop w/ 4wheel dyno + eddy brake?

[talntid]

[FNSR]

I will be there gates open at 8 racing starts at 9 costs 5 bucks!

[VWLover]

Hey Jeffro! One of the EMS guys has a picture of your ass! He was showing everyone. I think he likes you big guy! YA and when I say ASS I mean Screaming White crack down the middle ass!

[96gsx]

KryptoSol, are we racing tonight?

[KryptoSol]

HAHA...yeah, I had been talking with them about the dyno dynamics dynos, but if I end up with one it will be a Superflow. My wife and I have been interested in some commercial property in the Spokane area, but that and a solid business plan are as far as we have gotten for now.

[98spydert]

I love my every day tires on the street but they simply don't cut it for even mild racing. I ended up just leaving the line like I was coming off of a stop light then spinning through the top of first and bottom of second. Ah well, got lots of logs to play with and started upping the boost. I'm up to 20psi now but have a few werid spots to iron before movin back to 24. That's for watching the laptop for me Scott, that made things so much faster.

[96gsx]

Your Spyder is pretty dialed in, no leaks, pretty solid tune, just a few fuel/timing tweeks & you'll be their.??I think I'm done with the track this year.... It's pointless, my car is fucking gay and I hate it..

[talntid]

Scott, let me have your car for a day or so to work it out. You can use the sidekick to get around. better gas mileage :P

seriously though, need some time to just double check everything.

[KryptoSol]

I got there kind of late but met some of you guys out there tonight, Russel, Scott, Eric and his G/F? Cool peeps.


Call me If you cant see me... k... 280-1969

Sorry, i headed out to the track straight from work so i didn't get this. I hope you get that figured out man. You know anyone with a WB that reads Lambda??? I think that might help you tune the alky better, otherwise i think its kind of a guessing game.

Good luck! I meet all these people who ramanticize about opening up a "racing shop" one day, but i'm still waiting for someone to give us an INTEC or something of the like- a full facility if you will. It'd be cool if someone stepped up, not that it would really matter for me anyway cause i'll be getting the "F" out of Spokane as soon as i'm done with college.

[talntid]

When you leave, can I have your del sol? :P

[KryptoSol]

??I think I'm done with the track this year.... It's pointless, my car is fucking gay and I hate it..??


Shit, i think we've all been there at one point in time, take a lil break and then jump back in with new eyes. You best make it for "king of the hill" at least.

[KryptoSol]

keke... NO!

LoL...

That car has huge sentimental value to me. I'm keeping it forever. ;)

It was nice meeting ya Meng. Your leaving Spokane? Where are you planing to go? The little D' Sol Jam's out nicely. Good work!

[KryptoSol]

This is my last year as a finance/econ major at EWU, so next spring i'm headed to the Bay Area or Seattle. Got to go where the money is to make money!

I was in search of E85 fuel when I was down there, but came up short handed.:(

Well, thats the plan...and the problem.??I wont start a half ass shop, which brings a major financial hurdle into the mix.??The dyno is a $100K+ piece of equipment by itself so...

Im still not sure if anything will ever materialize, but a true "race shop" is something I will continue to investigate.

[a1320honda]

Hey Scott, Erik told me about the head gasket. Let me know if you need any help or anything man. Im down to get you back up and on the track. And dont get too discouraged, it happenes to all of us.

[96gsx]

Thanks.??It's not the head gasket, We're really not sure yet what it is.??It's up at eric's right now cooling down so we can take the turbo & manifold off and replace all the gaskets...??Hopefully that will fix my 4700rpm spool..??I'm taking my porting bit up to his house after work & figured we would just port the 02/manny/turbo at the same time...??We're also going to flush out the meth thats in the lines and tune it on strait 50/50 mix.??It was a bitch last night on 80/20..??Slower then shit..

[a1320honda]

Ya i heard you got pretty frustrated. Like i said, anything i can do let me know, im down to help out.

[96gsx]

Well, Scratch that!! Eric just came by my work, told me their is white smoke pouring out my exhaust & intake... Thats fucking wonderfull...??Do you have a 7bolt head gasket???Eric has a 6bolt composit head gasket at his house & I have a 6bolt Commetic head gasket in my garrage. The Cometic wont seal properly without a R-30 finish on both the deck and head.. The cars parked in some parking lot on the northside....??Eric's on his way to get a trailer to bring the car up to his house tonight..??Looks like I get to do a head gasket tonight.. MOTHER FUCKER!

[a1320honda]

No, everything i have is 6 bolt.

[96gsx]

Fuck... Eveyone is already closed and its Saturday...

[a1320honda]

[96gsx]

I honistly don't know..??I need to find new head studs too.. You can't re-use old head studs...??This is the last thing I wanted to do tonight....

[96gsx]

If anyone has any parts, please call me... 509-280-1969...

[a1320honda]

Sounds like you need to take a break man, your dsm is getting the best of you right now. take a night off and go get drunk.

[98spydert]

When you leave, can I have your del sol? :P


keke... NO!

LoL...

That little car of your moves! I was happy to real in a couple car lengths while still at 19psi but you were too far gone off the line with those 555s, there was no chance. You can really drive that thing.


Every car I raced last night, I lost to traction and my aweful driving skills. Damn you AWD and 555 guys :P

Hey thanks. This "plan" i had of mine has taken some time to finally come together. I think there was a couple of times last year that i was ready to roll my car off a cliff.

It has taken some time and dialing in to really get used to driving the car b/c it makes most of its power 5000 to its 7400 rpm redline. Miss shift or bogg and its hard to recover.

I actually run the BFG DR (205/50/15), i'm really really surprissed at how well these little things hook up.

As soon as i pick up some larger injectors i want to turn up the boost to some rediculous amount and see what happens.

[KryptoSol]

Scott & Eric,
Let me know if you guys are doing any tuning during the week, i'd be interested to see how DSMLINK works.

It is amazing how well the BFG DR's hook up. I just started using them on my evo. Now I have a hard time launching the car. I either bog off the line or the exedy twin disc gets to hot and slips down the 1/4.

[talntid]

So Scott and I are still alive - turned out it was not the head gasket, but rather the turbo. It is grenaded! The hot side slammed against the o2 sensor is the best way to describe it - It is screwed! The nut came off the front of the compressor wheel - the shaft is nowhere to be found. Well, this is better news than a head gasket, and the car should be running today - We are waiting on some parts stores to open so that we can get some gaskets to put it all together. The wait time isn't bad though because now everything is ported hehe.

[rrussell]

Holly shit! Did you find the nut?

Turbos are great until they start feeding themselves to the engine.:(

[blampinen]

Scott, there's your reason to get the 16g

[KryptoSol]

whoa... thats crazy.

[talntid]

Yeah we found the nut and installed my 14b from my 1g... just scared to really test it out at all, y'know? We have litterally spent 24 hours from when this happened to now to fix this car - we pulled an all-nighter porting out the turbo and all and waiting for parts stores to open for gaskets. Car is running now and we drove it a while no problems - putting the bumper back on and the headlight and we will take it for another spin.

[98spydert]

Damn, you guys should have called me back, I have all the turbo gaskets sitting around. Glad you get it back together, give me a call if we're tuning this week.

[talntid]

Lee, we'll see - I think that Scott is going to take it quite easy - can't afford to do this twice in a month. I think this is just going to be a "getaround" turbo for now. The GSX likely will not be making any more appearances at the track for a while :(

Anyhow, it runs now - doesn't smoke anymore. We seafoamed it and all to clean it up. Car is running very rich on the zero'd out tune... Scott needs to lean out a bit.

[96gsx]

I think this is just going to be a "getaround" turbo for now. The GSX likely will not be making any more appearances at the track for a while

If it does, it will be on the spectator side of the track...??If I could afford an all out Garrett turbo setup right now I would be overly excited.??That not being the case I'm thinking quite seriously just buying an Evo316g and calling it a year...??I cant afford this car much longer... Thank god it's payed off in feburary..??I need a car that is reliable, not somthing thats going to puke 3 quarts of oil into the intercooler & exhasut for the enjoyment of watching the reaction on my face!!

[96gsx]

I just bought an EvoIII 16g.. You'll have your ported turbo back in a week Eric... Thanks agian..

[KryptoSol]

Nice job! So that means you'll be on there on FNSR then right? : )

[96gsx]

If it gets here before friday I can get up to erics by 4:45pm, have his 14b off, swap the lines, parts, gaskets, put the new turbo on, change the fluids and be out their by 9ish.... So, yeah.. I should be out their...

[talntid]

.. if Eric still lives there.

[96gsx]

their.. Mr. 99% accuracy. Go get a job..

[talntid]

heh. i am right - check your english books

[blampinen]

Scott, Eric is right lol. it is "there." Car salesmen......

[94blueGSX]

If I wasn't movin on Friday I would hook up with you guys and help/observe the quick swap. When I get into the new place its time for a complete over-haul on seals. leaking somewhere and can't find it. anyone interested in playin is more than welcome. new heated garage and come next year cooled also...

[blampinen]

Scott, you're doing the swap on Friday? If so I can come lend a hand if you want... been a while since I've used a 12mm socket lol

[talntid]

And it would be even longer. 10, 14, 17, 19 are the most popular ;P I can't really think of anything that is a 12 while taking the car apart, except the exhaust manifold bolts, which would not be coming off.

[blampinen]

See? that's how long it's been lol

[96gsx]

we could allways go upto the base and use the millitary tools we pay for through our taxes...

[98spydert]

Hey, I got the ID lol Challenge time Scott, let's see who can hit that 40 lbs/min number with a good tune :D

[96gsx]

Let me get the thing on first.??Then we'll talk!??I was hopeing to see that Busher 4g63 book today..??Hopefully I will tomarrow!??

[talntid]

Scott, Accept his challenge so long as there is $500 on the line, then buy a FP 3052 and take his $500 =D

.. or slip a loose nut into his intake and call it a day
;P

I mean c'mon Lee, you got like.. what... 7 months of experience on him, and cams? :P

[96gsx]

I just care about a 12 slip.. One goal at a time..

[MrmnGrl]

You boys...sheesh

[talntid]

Scott, if you can't break 12's on this setup, give me your car. :)

[98spydert]

If you can't break 12s, give me your AWD and I'll break 11s lol

And that's 40lbs/min ON A 16G ERIC! lol :P

[talntid]

lol. FINE! :P

[blampinen]

we could allways go upto the base and use the millitary tools we pay for through our taxes...


Yeah sure if u want, it opens at 10am on friday. give me a call tomorrow if ur interested.

[talntid]

should be ok to do it here too if you want -- that gives room for tuning in a safe area afterwards

[96gsx]

True...

[talntid]

What time you get off on friday? Id say i should come pick up the car so it has time to book but we both know how that went last time lol.. Let of know what you wanna do.. My garage is open..
