I just did what I could tonight. Took out the passenger seat to get rid of a bit of weight, checked some bolts to make sure everything is good to go ( some bolts on my car like to loosen up so I check them every week ). All I need to do is wash and vac the car tomorrow before Perris. Maybe I will have enough fuel used up that I can start using some 100 oct on Sunday, still have about 2/3 of a tank left of 91.

 

[JLangevin]

Do you know the answer to my question about the helmet? And where are you getting your 100 octane gas? And you are going on Saturday right? Thats the day I am going. I just caught your "sunday" comment.

 

[The_EE]

13.99 and lower for helmets.

100 octane? hrmm... I know they sell some at the track on Sat.

yes, I am going Sat morning and Sun Morning. As well as Perris ( they dont ask for insurance, just registration ) tomorrow night. If you want to go, I can give you a call tomorrow when I am headed up to my friends house to meet with him before going to Perris. He lives not far from you in Rialto.

Well I am off to sleep for work tomorrow morning. Ill check in here tomorrow after work and see what you say and give you a call if needed.

 

[JLangevin]

What time will you be heading to Perris? I may take you up on that. Will depend on what time I get off work tomorrow. I am salary so I have no real set hours. Im done when the work is done. In any case, give me a ring and see where I am. If you guys will be in Rialto, I will do my best to keep up, .

 

[Antonyia]

[ronny]

GOOD LUCK YOU GUYS!!!! Represent for the DSmers.

 

[The_EE]

Well, quite a few people showed up to the races today and lastnight. Was a good time. My car isnt acting the best because of the heat and I dont think I will be going sunday. I did finally break into the 1.9 - 60 foots which was a little goal of mine. With the heat though, I could not break into the 13's. I tried different tunes and even mixing in some race gas thinking that it could be because of the heat. I dont know.. all I do know is I was slightly disappointed in my performance today though I did get some damned good reaction time. I am getting that and launching down pretty well.

my crappy times for Fri

.345 (redlight)
.481 (redlight)
.607
.370 (redlight)
.666 ( satan )
.774

My reaction times for Sat.

.136
.251
.087
.071
.184

JLangevin has some video from Friday he should have up soon and I should have some video from another friend up soon showing me getting my arse handed to me by my friends untuned turbo stang. Its great to see a Stang and a GSX roasting the tires through 1st gear

 

[JLangevin]

Yes... its true, I got some pretty nice videos of his launches and 1/8 runs. I wasnt able to get any 1/4 runs on video for him since I ran in the same group. I wount even post my times, they are embarrasing.

In any case, I will have the video up tomorrow. Hopefully early. Im just so beat from the heat today, and then coming home and building a boost leak tester, then testing, and repairing the leaks. I had a NASTY and i mean, NASY boost leak to fix behind and under the TB and the EGR. The EGR wasnt so bad, I just removed it. But the leak under the intake manifold were a couple vacume lines that were torn. What a PITA!

Anyways, it was fun meeting you guys. Look forward to doing it again in some cooler weather.

The_EE: Perhaps next time we go out, I will have a CO2 setup rigged and we can freeze your intercooler before the runs, should get your intake temps way down.

Its all good man, Tu was getting our 1/4th runs so we should have some good ones, even ones of my back end sliding around when I was racing Will. My times were bad as well, the heat was killing us all. I am burned but not too bad.. I dont think.

We really need cooler weather. 110 or so, not counting humidity and then inside a car with a helmet on and no AC = painful.

 

[The_EE]

Oh yeah, I am going through my logs from my dyno tune on wensday and might be going with a different tune that has less timing removed. I think with that and the 91/c116 I might be able to do better I mean hell, marcus was still running 11.40's in the heat. I am not going to run tomorrow though. I may hit up Perris this weekend if all goes well.

105-107 before the humidity increases today. Currently 97 in Loma Linda which is cooler then inside my house.
!

 

[JLangevin]

Yeah. I need to start getting stuff for the car. Now that all the necessary repairs are done, I am going to start the modifying. I told my wife this when I came home and she looked at me with dissaproval... I told her, "too bad" My goal is to at leasts have a new setup by January. Like I said, I may start with the 14b so Im plummed for the 16g... then swap the 16g last and retune.

 

[The_EE]

Its funny, a $80 hair do and $100 nails, her 15th $200 purse or her 50th set of shoes is able to be justified but you want car parts and they get up in arms... at least I have had to deal with that. At least where you want to be with your car isnt going to cost all that much. I still feel i should have set my initial goals lower and purhaps I would be there right now. At least I am getting there,slowly but getting there. I just need more time, more practice and a few more thousands of dollars worth of parts and i will see the numbers I want.

Well, call me when you get the video up and if you can, Email it to me at [email protected] unless its over 10 megs or you have a site you can host it at and then I can download it from there.

anyways man, hopefully see you at the track again sometime. we should both have some better numbers as it cools down. I think I am going to drop the boost back down to 18 myself, I have done my best times and power output at that level of boost. maybe I will pick up those 1000cc injectors sometime next weekend. I think the 550's are loosing the battle even at 80% IDC.
