Race City September 2nd

[Mr_ET]

it's that time again!

so who's going and to watch or race?


I'm on a full gas tank with no mods from last time so i will only watch!

aleks duncan you guys will try out the new mods for sure right?

i'm guessing mid to low 12 for duncan and about 13.5 for aleks

[KGB]

Yeah I'm there for sure. I'm thinking a bit better than your guess if I can hook properly.

[Mr_ET]

same wheels and tires?

[Aleks]

Yep, altough I am thinking of taking Duncan's/my old 15's for a few passes. ;)

looking forward to seeing some really fast cars run this friday!

[Mr_ET]

yeah but duncan has all seasons on there lol:P

get some bfg's!

i'm thinking your mph will be around 112-115

but 13.5 or faster will be hard cause oftraction issues

you are already getting mad wheelspin off the line and that was with 56hp less..

get some 14's some drag radials and then 13.2 13.3 would be quite doable

[Aleks]

I don't think I'll get the drag radials for this season. I am on stock axels and launching hard with so much torque would risk destroying them. I'll just use old gpomp as a guage to see how much our stock setups can take :rofl: :poosie:

[Mr_ET]

good stuff

i want a b16 now :(

instead i'm getting the ef repainted at the end of the month so i'll be clear of rust for 2-3 years

watch out august next year i will be b series powered!

what did ggomp do with his old turbo d setup?

[Aleks]

Sold the entire thing turbo and all. He was asking like 1200 bux it was a good deal!

[Mr_ET]

was it a beyond member who bought it?

[legendboy]

camping for me!

[Mr_ET]

corey how much hp was the teg making before last weeks returne with rage 2

can we expect better then 12.32?

:P

[legendboy]

the car had made 393 on a mustang dyno

car dyno'd at 409 last weekend

the car definatly has 11's in it, just have to get my launch sorted out! not gonna get there with 2.0 60' times

although i could put my ls tranny in and run 11's eaisly :banghead:

[wheelz]

They should televise the race on shaw channel 10 every friday night. That would make for good tv. Woudnt even need to be high tech, just set up a camera, no editing no comercials.

Then those of us with a social cordinator that thinks racing is a waste of time could get action from both camps:poosie:

HEY HEY U must be made something new on your car..

I 'll be there . I wanna do auto-x, but I don't have that much money :D haha

may be I 'll be on the drag strip. I hope. :dunno:

[GSR_aaron]

I hope I can make better 0-60" time this time. (my second time hehe)

last time, I made continuously 2.7x and 2.5x once,,,,

with 28psi 4000 rpm launch..

what best 60" times u guys have?

is it possible to make under 2.5 sec with stock integra?? :D

[legendboy]

I have hit 2.0X 60' times with basically stock integra

[Mr_ET]

i'm in the 2.5 2.4 as well

comes with experience

i catch pretty good lights but my 60 foots are pretty bad

I'm thinking i don't have enough power to lower that time much

best time this year is 17.283 at 79

[Ekliptix]

2.09 w/ 225 kumhos once in the mustang.

I might spectate tonight. I'll be installing a helicoil kit in my lower IM today.

Make sure and post how you do, good luck!

I found some boost leaks so hopefully things improve for me. A bunch of us SRT-4 guys are going to Bud Park tonight though and dyno day tomorrow. Hopefully next week I'll be able to come to Race City again. :devil:

Good luck all.

[gpomp]

i hope it doesn't rain. :whipped:

[rice_eater]

so who knows wether or not they're gonna cancel again this week????? it looks cloudy out there but doesnt really look like it'll start raining :confused: someone should phone (i'm busy and no where close to a phone so dont be a dick and say i should...)

[Mr_ET]

rice eater you should :P


they are not anoucing any rain and none has fallen at my place 5 mins away from race city

it might be clouded but it will not rain

[asp integra]

i sure hope it doesnt rain, i went out last week but they said the track was too wet so i wen t saw a movie instead, but i havent had a chance to get out there and race once this year, i just hope it doesnt rain, cause it looks pretty ugly out there, if anyone has any info on if it will close or not then post it up here!

[Mr_ET]

i'll call around 7 7:30 tonight and let you guys know if we are go

z_fan usually does that but don't think he's around this week

[dj_honda]

We don't expect any precipitation from Friday evening to Saturday evening.


Updated : Friday September 2 2005, 13:05 MDT



its clearing up here in the north and towards the west, getting sunny. so hopefully you are in the clear tonight duncan.

[Mr_ET]

we'll be alright the racing gods will shine on us!

thx for the update Jessy

[SilverBoost]

I'm going I think, but I have some tuning issues... may just try to AutoX tonight and maybe a few drags on street tires... I'm bogging bad though right now, so I won't be expecting good times. That's what happens when you're tuned for sea level. :(

Good luck to all who go out racing tonight (weather permitting)! Someone please take some pics and post them up, I'm stuck at home in the garage for the next 2 weeks... :(

[Mr_ET]

[b_t]

weather out in Cochrane is clear and sunny, this stuff usually blows through here and then goes through Race City about three hours later... but it is lookin good at the moment. not sure how much that helps you guys :D

[modded46]

Trying to decide if I wanna go out or not.. Trying to anticipate what kinda turnout there will be.. Long weekend and all..

[fast95pony]

I was supposed to go to Saskatoon for a regional Autoslalom event,but my vacation request was fucked up :banghead: .
I might load the Victoracers up and head down to have some fun in the oval though..:burnout:

[modded46]

please tell me you're not running the Mustang on the Oval.

:eek:

[Ekliptix]

There was a big dust storm for 10 minutes.

gpomp with a 110mph trap (I tried to get your attn as I was leaving and you turned around and went back in the gate)
And GSR_aaron with a 103mph trap speed.

[DannyO]

Yea I was there aswell near the end, some some good runs, and saw Duncan and Aleks run, I know they both were FAST but didn't see the times, Aleks car sound fuckin EVIL when hes getting ready to race.:eek:

Hey I think that bluegreen integra GSR was other guy's turbo'd one. hehe~ (he is running mid 14s i think)

anyway,, It was a good night for me as well,,,

got 16.11 @ 88 mph. with 2.47 60' time.

it was the last run with modded SER spec V

and it's about 0.25 sec faster than my first night.

I feel I am still getting better :D

[rice_eater]

any of you guys hit the autocross tonight?? fast95pony, was that you out there with the blue focus?

[broken_legs]

Well


^^^ This guy convinced me to go race in the AutoX for the first time ever in any car....


I think I did damn well. Heres how my runs went after a quick ride around the course with rice_eater

1.) 73.56
2.) 71.54
3.) 71.38
4.) 70.19
5.) 70.43
6.) 69.34
7.) 69.41
8.) 68.12
9.) 68.45
10.68.52
11.) 68.50
12.) 67.72

The fastest car there was a specV (SilverBoost??)Nissan turbod that ran a 66.xx
Second was rice_eaters 2.0 SX with adjustable struts and 17x7 wheels who ran a 67.17
Third was me - my first time out ever in any car - Bone stock 94 Sunbird (2.0L Sohc 5spd) only mod is some 16x6" wheels - This car has no stock sway bars or strut bars


I'll be there again next week

What a BLAST!
:D

[Aleks]

I ran 13.445 @ 107 mph as my best tonite. My fastest trap was 110mph :burnout:

Still my best 60ft was 2.214 :banghead: I was too scared to try full boost off the line tonite. Maybe next week.

[gpomp]

bleh. i had a boost leak all night, was running low boost. the car would've been good for another 80-90whp if it weren't for the leak :thumbsdow

best time was 13.3 @ 109

edit: ran 13.3 six times, at least it's consistently slow :guns:

Wow, you can say that again.. I seen a few of your runs and damn that car has so much left in her, just not getting to the ground..

[modded46]

Overall great night.. Dust storm sucked ass and it got cold as usual. :(

Someday I'll actually start talking to people, I know there are other mustang guys in the city and a few were out there last night.. I'm just shy. :confused:

hahahahahah you bastard, you ended up getting the fastest time in the auto-x last night :thumbsup:

this guy comes up for a ridealong, figures out the map, does 3 laps and rapes everyone on the last one and moves on :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: was it a similar story in the drags?

[modded46]

I left kinda early but all the runs I seen were 14+

[SilverBoost]

Yeah my 1/4 mile here sucks... can't break 14s... too much fuel in thew top end and it boggs hard... I just can't seem to tweak it here for the 1/4. Here's my best time at sea level though -- what the car was tuned for.

http://www.importeast.ca/specv/slip.jpg

It was a blast in the AutoX though... first time I've ever tried it. First run I spun around twice... but the 3rd and last run felt good... I certainly didn't think I would have gotten the best time though. I've found a new love for Fridays nights now for sure.

:D

Yeah I'm almost considering street tunign it with my wideband.... I'd need someone to come along though and help me by watching the gauges... just can't seem to get it runnign right here in Calgary. It's like a completely different car at lower elevation.

Also, thanks to the AUTOX guys last night who gave me some tips... awesome time!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[modded46]

It's truely amazing how much of a difference altitude makes but i heard that it effects turbos more than anything.

I don't know if you remember me or not but I met you a while back, i'm the guy with the bright ass yellow mustang. :) Anyway, if you ever need any help tuning let me know I'd love to help out.. :drool:

I was in such a foul mood after work because my vacation got fucked up. I went home and consumed a few beverages instead..

Elevation affects NA cars more because you can turn up the boost to compensate with turbo cars.

The problem with his car is he's using a S-AFC for tuning, not a standalone. It's an ECU designed for a NA car with a piggyback hack to get proper fueling. That's why it's affected so bad for elevation.

that Focus was Rob's one. he is CFOC(Calgary Focus Owners Club) owner and has some skill on Auto-X.

that was not a SVT one but a ZX3 with I/E, SVT suspension.

[Hollywood]

I got a 15.0 that night. Not bad for 3900lb luxury car.

Few times I forgot to turn off traction control. DOH! Made it look pretty silly siting there at the lights only moved an inch and have to wait 4 seconds for the ecu to allow air again into the intake, then finally start down the track.

Everytime you turn the key off the traction control automatically turns on and you have to puch the button to turn it off.

[wheelz]

Actually the fastest time of the night was Reijo in his black S2000 on bad all(no)season tires. He ran a 60 flat.

I thoght u said me ur car is GS300 not a 430.

15.0 is good. and did u use Brake-torque whlie launch?

I know your car is automatic. but still GS430 is the fastest car in Lexus line.

Not just competes nationaly; He won nationals. And has taken second in US national comps.

Maybe next friday I will run, rather than just help out

well then I don't think I did too bad coming in only 6 seconds slower after my first three runs - ever. :)

I should certainly be able to improve in that once I learn how to not come in so hot in the corners. :)

[rage2]

I can beat Reijo ;).
