[projekz]

DORIFTO!!!!




Sorry for the shitty videos...We need to install a camera pod for STABILITY!

[projekz]

SORRY...double post!

[Mr_ET]

Mercredes 560SEL 1989 stock including all seasons, that is the car of choice when looking to build a track car my friends!

[jdmgt]

were you touching the red and whites in turn 5 there?? from the video it looks like you were on the rumble strips, on that long sweeping right.

just curious, from the video it looks that way

[Mr_ET]

I was hugging them but not touching, if the car could accelerate more I could carry more speed there.

I usually don't lift in 4 5 or 6 and only give a light brake tap before the chicane to set the car up right for it.

[Mr_ET]

Some parts I picked up this weekend

obd2a to obd1 frog jumper harness
rear T bracket for a 94-01 manual integra
GSR connecting rods and pistons (will only use the rods but needed at least 1 since the only motor hydrolocked and bent a rod.)
New fuel filter for the civic as the old one look well... old and I don't know how long ago it was changed.

These are in great shape compared to the ones I have, much cleaner. One of them has spun a rod bearing, I will have my machine shop weigh them before the new RS Machines P30 pistons get pressed in so I can try and match 4 with the closest weight as possible.





this needs a good cleaning


Tomorrow I am buying a chipped P28 ECU and then I start buying parts for the motor and that is where all my focus will shift.

good night all!

[Redlyne_jr]

looks good man

[Mr_ET]

[Mr_ET]

[Mr_ET]

thanks guys :P

[EFHatch]

looks good, cant wait for the 14th!

in a few of the pics i couldn't figure out where your recaro went. then i realized it was a passenger sitting in with you...

[Mr_ET]

Passenger side Recaro is gone, it wasn't mine and was only added during the last track day for added support.

You can either suffer on the 14th in the stock seat on bring yours

[Revhard]

Looks great Etienne. Any talk of the new track in the works out east?
Good to see Jay got the beast out. Is Doug still racing the yellow 'vette?
It was getting pretty quick last I saw.
What is your lap time of RCMP?

[EFHatch]

hmmm, i might be tempted to take mine out

Great idea!

Jay seams to still be building the track we had seen links to a while back but I didn't get a chance to talk to him that much about it yet.

Doug still races the yellow c5 z06 and it's now supercharged. He is the 4th or 5th fastest at RCMP at the moment.

I have only done 1 timed event at RCMP and the track was beat up as it was after a road racing weekend. We had the apex of 1 coned off, the apex of 3 also and the inside line of 6 also so it showed us down by about 2.5 or so seconds per lap.

I ran a best of 1:38.899 last time but the car has way more and I would expect to be close to the lap record of 1:35.00 for IT3 cars with a full track, a bit warmer weather and all allowed mods for my engine.

Right now I have a stock exhaust, a stock d16y8 header that leaks and a crappy short ram intake. the motor also has 250 000kms and burns about a quart of oil every track day so it's not in the best shape possible.

I have a fun car for sure but it's quite slow right now. I will start this GSR motor build in the next week or so and should have a faster car next year. RCMP is such a bad track for my horsepower level with those 2 straights :P

This may be a noob question, and you might have addressed it elsewhere, but why would you need to go to OBD1 from OBD2?

[Mr_ET]

for tuning purposes as the options are cheaper and much more plentiful.
