Gaca 5/2 5/3

[The Chad]

How did everyone do today?

I drove the Nov Class yesterday and turned a 34.5 on the test and tune course for my first time.

Thanks Jew!

I mean GCAC

[Z1NONLY]

That's kind of quick.

What were you driving?

[The Chad]

That's kind of quick.

What were you driving?

The Jew's Integra

I believe I talked with you at lunch....or maybe it was your brother..

John's 6'1" ish, I'm 5'10".

Oh, and that teg seems to be "dialed in" well.

Yeah its very fun to drive!

[Semi Jew]

i done fucked up. i mean i won DSP, but not with a great time.

fucked around alot and was gonna make the 4th run count... til my water bottle flew out from the passenger side to mine and got wedged under the brake so i couldnt slow down for a pinch, yey!

im happy with the way the car is performing.

[STiDriven]

:rofl1:I though ricer excuses were only for slow honda's doing roll races.







j/k I could see it happening.

Nice!!!! Congrats!!

You don't need the brakes in that car, it just slows you down anyway...

Dave,what tires were you and Billy on?

That course was fun, but I would have loved to have been in Craig's Z06.

[Super Unique]

Probably my worst event in the past year. 4 runs, 7 cones. I really need to get the new suspension tuned. It felt worse than stock out there. Ran 74+3, 70+2, 72+1,72+1. I really just wanted to punch something after my last run. It felt so much faster than any of my previous runs and then at the end of the final slalom I pushed too hard and the rear snapped out.. again.

This car is so much faster than how I was driving today.

I'm probably going to take the Cone Killer title this year. I have 20cones in 5 events. uggh

[veloce23]

That would be frustrating hitting all of those cones. That viper on street tires Saturday wasn't very forgiving either, but you have to do at least one "pansy" run, and stay away from the cones.

[Super Unique]

my 3rd run was my "Pansy" run. I honest don't remember hitting a cone. And I didn't see anybody scrambling to put a cone back up going through the slalom. Oh well.

[Billy]

kumho xs

i will have my car next month with re01r's on it. should be a good comparison with the 2 tires.

j/k I could see it happening.


whats your ricer excuse for not coming out.... thought you were bringing the vw?

[Super Unique]

Billy thanks for your help today. I think I'm going to take Casco's advice and have the car corner balanced.

[+Juan]

hmm...how much is it to autocross?

i think i may be comfortable enough with the Z to try it :)

[Super Unique]

$20 on Sat, $30 on Sun

[Only_In_A_Domestic]

do it

[+Juan]

any other Z's out there?besides the blue one?

[veloce23]

hmm...how much is it to autocross?

i think i may be comfortable enough with the Z to try it :)

Don't forget the $1 to get in at the gate. So $21 for saturday and $31 for sunday.

Once you try this, you will wish you had done it sooner.

BTW, the Z is quite fun to autocross.;)

*EDIT*

I should have posted this under my screen name, Z1NONLY. My brother just left, and I am still logged in as him.

oops.

[Z1NONLY]

any other Z's out there?besides the blue one?

The Nissan dealer from Port Charlotte brought a sweet turbo Z show car (Relentless RPM) and even let me run it a few times.:)

It's the one on their home page.
http://www.relentlessrpm.com/

Also, we do have other Z's too. Jorge runs his Black 07 out there a lot. Steve brings his silver 05 (supercharged beast) a lot. The one in my sig hasn't been there in a few months, (APS TT Monster) A Z32 N/A was there Sat. and I almost forgot the original Z that was also there saturday.

A 240Z, with its original owner driving it, with something like 30k original miles. (I love those cars.)

I guess the short answer is yes.

[The Chad]

That relentless Z was sick! Was it too much to drive?

[Z1NONLY]

The suspension was done well, but the tires were not for the track. They simply didn't have enough grip. I think I ended up getting a 33.4XX in it.

Also, the STS Remote Mount Turbo didn't kick in until late in the tach so there wasn't much chance to use the extra power.

Still pretty fast!

[+Juan]

the black one with the red lip wheels? the rear mount turbo one?

[Z1NONLY]

And fun!

That's the one.:)

you wont come out there juan i called u to come and u didnt pick up for me or jeff wtf...

[+Juan]

ive been sleeping the whole day nigger. been tired as fuck.lol.

and i only had a missed call from you. not jeff.

[Jeffie ON JUICE]

[QUOTE=LiftedJeep;191026]ive been sleeping the whole day nigger. been tired as fuck.lol.

Well u didn;t fuck last night and u were posting on FMR at like 12 so no pussy for u

[+Juan]

lol Jeff . youre not a stalker......cough cough

[Super Unique]

I crawled under my car last night after hearing some strange noises coming from the rear suspension, I found one of my Rear Sway bar brackets was just dangling there and I was able to easily move the Rear Sway Bar. Either the bracket is broken or the bolts backed out. Looks like I have some work to do after I get off.... work.

[Billy]

that sucks. i hope its an easy fix.

[Only_In_A_Domestic]

that explains the understeer


i stapped one of my steel c-clamps with my monster rear sway a while ago, the guy at steeda didn't believe me when i said i broke it and had to send it to them for them to replace it

[Billy]

fuckin fords, lol

[joe99rs]

HaHa Super Unique, I like how you keep a cone count in your sig. I'm going to do that too if I ever get out there again.

[Super Unique]

Looks like the bolts back out some how.. I really don't know how as they weren't loose, I couldn't take them out with my hand. So odd. I still have something else creaking in the suspension. I'm going to take the rear suspension apart some time this week. I'm irritated.

The cone count in my sig is for the 2009 Season. I'm afraid to count up the total with last season factored in. :)

[veloce23]

Looked at the video from the last time we ran "this" course, and it was alot more open this time. I actually wish it would have been more difficult, as I might have been able to beat Steve Burger in PAX. With that fast straight, I wasn't catching that Z06. Again, I am talking about PAX, because I wouldn't catch him on raw time anyways.

Next month, if I am there, Craig Ellis wants me and Michael (brother) to have a 3 run (each) shootout in the Z06. I am pretty sure it will be a very good match, but with him winning. I am a pansy in RWDs.

[Billy]

drive it like yo u stole it.

[veloce23]

I drove it only twice on Saturday and was <0.1sec off of Ellis with an imperfect lap. It was very easy to drive after that Viper on street tires.

[STiDriven]

Damn. There's a lot of high end car swapping going on these days. Must be fun.

[Billy]

yeah i didnt think it was going to be that hard for you or your bro to beat ellis in his car. that guy thinks he is such a good driver but i know it is because of the car. i would like to see what he would run in a normal car.

yeah that viper was a hand full.

[Semi Jew]

he still hasn't come close to my evo's time and it had 200 less HP than he did and smaller tires so ya know... there's some gains to be had. because 1) the vette should be faster than that evo and 2) im not that good.

[Billy]

fixed





















j/k

i already said that rook lol.

You're sandbagging.;)

I intend to run with all electronic nannies off, even though it will be harder to drive. I still think the "competition mode" is calibrated for street tires, and the only way to get everything out of the race tires is to shut the stability control off.

We shall see.*Popcorn*

What time did you run in the Evo Dave? I would have to disagree about the advantages of the Z06. Its gearing really does not work well with this course at all. I have always believed that the Test-n-Tune course is great for an AWD. I was able to do a 30.4 Saturday on the Kumho XSs (which are great), and that is without a tune, and it was with a soft launch. If you drove the Z06, I think you would agree with me. Burger has never done better than a high 29 in his car or Craig's, and Burger can drive very well.

Edit: The dig at the beginning and at the turn-around are very good for AWDs.

[Jeffie ON JUICE]

its billy,

dave ran 29.3 in the evo.

[veloce23]

I remember it being an awesome time. That is fast!!! I figured that I could do a mid 29 with r-comps, but I don't know if the launch and good tune would get me to a 29.3. Was the Evo a 6 speed or 5? I thought it was an MR (6 speed). Regardless, that is fast!

[Billy]

6 speed

[Semi Jew]

i think you can def do it with the race tires john, your street tire time has my street tire time in the evo dominated.

[veloce23]

Thanks for the confidence in me, but I am dead serious about how fast a 29.3 is. Did your overrev allow you to stay in 2nd gear without too much time on the revlimiter? Or did you shift to 3rd before the turn around and the finish? As for your street tire times in the Evo, you weren't on todays tires, and your suspension was set up for r-comps.

[Semi Jew]

Well thanks :) I was pretty dialed in with that car I need to get to the same point in the Teg, since Billy keeps whooping me in it.

I never had to use 3rd in the Saturday course in the EVO since the tune allowed for 7800rpm shifts, i hit the limiter once at the end but that was it. You are right about the tires too... the Hankooks/Azenis aren't even close to the Kumhos that I'm using now.

[Billy]

hey john, how did the re01r compare to the xs?

[veloce23]

hey john, how did the re01r compare to the xs?

In a recent test, the 195 RE-01s were about 3-4 tenths off of the 205 XSs, on a low 30 second course. While that is a significant diference in time, I loved the RE-01s, and have another set waiting after these XSs. The RE-01s had sharper (stiffer) sidewalls, and were better in the rain (significantly better). At the time, I could not get over how long they lasted, but I have lots of time on these XSs too. At the normal prices, I would stick with the XSs or the Dunlop Star Specs, but I could not pass up the clearance prices and hte $100 rebate. I got four RE-01s for $280 (before shipping). I plan to run one of the SE Divisional races, and if I were to win, then Brigestone will pay $300 (if 3 or more drivers run in STU). Seriously, I believe the RE-01s are awesome, just probably a little slower than the XSs.

[Billy]

when are the SE divisional races. i wonder if i would have a shot in sts.

yeah i got the re01r on clearance too or i would have got the xs.

[veloce23]

We do have some pretty quick STS (now just "ST" as of Jan 2009) drivers in the SE, but if you have the car ready, you should consider making the trip. From what I have seen, SCCA courses tend to be non-power courses and more of the speed maintainence type. I still need to work on alot, but especially my speed maintainence skills. I will do some research about the drivers.

[veloce23]

Atlanta has some great drivers Billy, particularly so in Tim Smith, last year's National Champion in STS. Also Heyward Wagner (Atl), Scott Strickland (Jax), and Jeremy Warwin (Jax) are damn fast.

[Billy]

it says drive time is 5h 20m. thats not too bad. do you know how much it is.

also my car is done. i am just waiting on a tune. so hopefully it will be tuned by the end of this week.

[STiDriven]

I miss auto x.

[Billy]

if you werent so lazy you wouldnt miss it because you would be there. slacker.

[STiDriven]

if you werent so lazy you wouldnt miss it because you would be there. slacker.

ehhh. If I'm not using my own car I lose my motivation. I'm gonna get on the ball though. Watch though, next time I'm out with my mods they'll probably kick me out for having an external wastegate.

When I do get out there it'll be with more power (which is the last thing I need out there). I'll also be mounting the re01r's and a bigger front sway bar so it should be alright.

[Billy]

uh maybe you should just tune you car and hold off on the swaybar for now. you need to try to set up your car up before you can determine if you need that front sway bar or not. you need to take that broken coilover controller off and actually tweak on your suspension a little.

[STiDriven]

Them fightin words.

[Billy]

why, i am trying to help you out before you spend needless money.

[veloce23]

Billy, the Virginia event was $65 total for the 2 day event. The test-n-tune the day before (Friday) charges per run, but I don't know the cost.

[Billy]

ok cool

[Super Unique]

I believe I finally got my suspension fixed and adjusted correctly. woot

is it june yet?

[Billy]

sweet, beat dave.

[Super Unique]

if i can avoid the cones, I just might lol

[Semi Jew]

lets do it son.

[Billy]

i will be making the lines and taking the bets.

right now i have the jew as a 2:1 favorite and super unique at 5:1. any takers. lol

[Pappy]

........................ i miss drivin..... fuckin clutch

[Super Unique]

i will be making the lines and taking the bets.

right now i have the jew as a 2:1 favorite and super unique at 5:1. any takers. lol

shit, I'd even take the 2:1 on Dave. I have yet to win an event in the MS3. So until I do, I should be down in the 50:1 range. lol Oh and don't forget about Casco.

[Semi Jew]

im really due to be coned out one of these days, been lucky so far.

im sure i will next time, i have the race pads on now so i can go DEEP, but ill probably end up going to deep at some point.

[Billy]

ok here are the new line:

jew = 2:1
casco = 7:1
super unique = 8:1


































Billy = 1.1:1, yes i think i am going to run in DSP now. lol
