Unfortunately, no. There is something very weird with the rules that prohibits turbo swaps amongst cars built on the same line. Rumor has it, this rule was made for DSM’s specifically. Lol
Just read through most of your thread. Amazing job!We now have an Ohlin's option? My Koni's are really starting to limit where I want to be with spring rate and damper setting options. These ohlins look interesting.
Unfortunately, no. My compressor nut on my brand new T25 backed out while I was at Pocono raceway in October 2021. It was the end of the season and life got in the way so the car sat parked for a few months. I hadn't even realized what happened until I started to tear the motor down. (sounded...
I was much younger when he was still actively campaigning his car. I lived through his posts about his car and details about his racing. A pioneer in some ways. May he rest in peace.
I have one. I think the electric valve does not operate fast enough. Works fine for autocross, but not so good on an actual track.What I don't have is a 6 bolt with a fancy Moroso oil pan. I wish there was something similar for 7 bolts.
I run -4 degrees camber front and -2.5 rear in my autocross car that is also street driven. I also run some toe out both front and rear. A little toe out while running more than usual neg. camber is ok. Tire life is fine and I get what is expected out of super soft extreme performance tires...
What makes this any different than what Wilwood or TCE offers? Although I have the TCE race kit and never fully looked into Evo or ctsv, but $1200 seems like a lot for those. I thought the the attraction for those kits were the minimal costs involved?
I want to increase the final drive in my car. Is it possible to just swap the front ring gear, transfercase, and rear ring gear with Evo 3 part numbers or is there anything else necessary?
https://www.tirereview.com/bad-advice-for-lug-nuts/Don't lube your wheel studs. Improper torque can cause damage to studs or nuts to loosen over time.Proper tire rotation and general maintenance means you will be taking your wheels off every few K miles anyway. I clean my studs with a rag...
Autocross is more fun than most people imagine. I highly suggest you get out and try it.Your typical autocross course will have speeds to reach between 50 to 60mph. Some regions have access to big, wide open venues, like where I usually run with MSNE and SCCA NNJR, and speeds will be...
My NT03's and PF01's are both 18x10.5. They have different offsets, but I use spacers to get the wheel placement where I want it. 2g's need roughly +10 to +15 offset with wheels this wide, depending on which tire you're using. I'm not exactly sure what i'll be doing with the 11's yet. Zero...
MSNE - 7/5/2020What an incredibly hot and humid day. Got to the venue at 6:30am to help set up and didn't run until 3rd heat, around 1pm. At least I was able to work on my tan. ROFLGood stuff - Results were ok. 3rd in class and 5th in PAX. 9th raw time out of 83. My father was also...
I had to grind mine as well. (All awd cars will have to.)It fits great otherwise and really tightened up the front end. The dead center feeling in the steering is almost gone.
Thank you, Luda.265/35/18. The Hoosiers that will go on are 285/30/18 and I'll try to squeeze 295/30/18 next season. :hellyeah:Actually, I MUST fit the 295's next year. The competition in DSP class (BMW's and RX8's mainly) are all on 305's or wider.
SCCA NNJR autocross opening day, 6/28/2020.Some STIFF competition as everyone was itching to get out. 1st in class and 12th in pax. 6 of the top 12 in PAX were SCCA National SOLO Champions and the rest of us except 1 are multi time national trophy winners. REALLY happy with these results as...
MSNE Autocross opening day, 6/27/2020.2nd in class, 5th in PAX. Not a bad way to start the season!There was also a pro photographer at the event who took some GREAT pictures.
Now was a better time than ever to switch to e85. I know the T25 won't make much power, but the inconsistency of 93 octane is getting on my nerves. The pluses of using ethanol far outweighs any minuses. The power and cooling alone is worth it to me.E85 is difficult to find in NJ. Luckily...
Write up of the Track Sprint at Pocono, 6/13/2020:The nerves were on full blast as this event was approaching. It would be the first outing for the car since its rebuild and first event for me in months due to the COVID crisis. After co-driving a BS BMW M4 in 2019 and my own STU Evo X in...
Video from a lap at Pocono east course. My gopro didn't like the position I put it in and the white balance of the sunshine glared pretty badly. Sorry about that. Best I could do for now as I had no idea the camera would do this.
And the Talon is officially back on the road! Exciting times. Leak was in fact my oil pan, but also the driver side axle seal. Oil pan seal is repaired. Have to take it back apart to replace the axle seal as that was not as noticeable at first.One thing I couldn't wait for is a proper...
One new addition are another set of wheels. Enkie PF01. A friend decided to part with these and gave me a great price for 3. (the fourth has a crack on one of the spokes) I used to have a set which I sold because they were too narrow. These are 18x10.5 and will do great as my racing slicks...
As I just mentioned, i've put about 5 miles on the car. Can't drive too much more as the tags are expired and the NJ DMV is still shut down. One thing that still kept me awake at night (not really LOL) was the quality of the used motor I bought. I know I replaced damn near everything on it...
As I've mentioned before, I had to replace a few items with my accusump setup. Especially the original -10an line I ran underneath the car. It would be near impossible to clean out. I picked up another 90 degree fitting and ran a new line the same way as the old. For the accusump itself, I...
So I've always wanted a bit more rear camber. My car is not that much lower than stock which netted just under -2 degrees with no camber correction. I'd like to shoot for around -2.5. Rear camber kits are hard to come by as the tried and true method is washers and longer bolts, not especially...
Completely agree. There is maybe 1 other tire that has more outright grip than the RE71r. But, they suck for launching.A very good compromise would be the BFG Rival S or the Nexen Surg4. Horizontal grip is still amazing, but the softer sidewalls are both more comfortable and also better for...
And a non performance mod... replaced the headliner. Chose black fabric as it shouldn't show dirt as much. ROFLScraped off all remaining OEM glue with a stiff brush, followed by blowing out at 80psi, and lastly a wipe down with Zep40 and a microfiber cloth.Using 3M Advanced headliner and...
Motor is in and running along with FIC 950cc injectors and a walbro 255 pump. This should be plenty of fuel to run e85 on the t25 turbo. No AFPR as of yet so hopefully drilling the siphon out to 1/8th inch and NOT rewiring my pump can save face with the stock regulator. Idling the car for...
