hey, Ill drive your car for ya, if u dont mind me driving it

 

Naw I don't mind. As long as you are careful not to boost over 0.8bar

Remember i'm still waiting for the 0.5bar spring to arrive.

 

^Wouldnt it b a good idea to wait until you get the new spring? that way you wont have to retune again when you do get it

 

Hey guys im at work i will be at the meet next week....Pete are we still on for dec 9th ??

Just checking since i know your a busy dude.. I havent forgotton my peeps..

 

nice meet tonight.. hey joe for now.. dec. 9th is looking pretty good.. ill keep up to date with you as it get closer..

congrats johnny on the s/c..i give you props bro it sounds perfect!!!...they did a nice install.. now hurry up and break it in so i can ride lol.. 1up > all


hey joe.. i hope you liked the ride in the car.. next time ... i want u to push it in the corners and drive agressive.. your going to really feel how nice the suspension is the harder u push the car....also next time.. dont be afraid to floor it in low gears..

 

thanx bro..ur right about one thing tho...it DOES sound sexy. denny was teasing me in max's car on the way back home, and i felt like flooring it so bad, lol dude, i dunno if i can do 500 miles. who's down for an orlando trip, lol

 

I'm so glad you guys noticed my car sounds better, lol.

I put in alot of hours into my car. I was beggining to think it was just me that thought it sounded better.

 

yea sergio. def sounds 10x better. the gloss on the rims look great cuz when it was flat, they just looked real dirty to me. now its like - nice, black rims. your car will thank you for removing the chrome. lol. good stuff man, cant wait to see it run with the new tranny.

 

I just want to hurry up and finish my car already.
Gotta put in more hours and fix a lot more computers.

The stiffy makes my car vibrate so much. Its ridiculous.
I don't think there is anything else wrong with my car, other than the ignition map.
Fuel map in Vaccuum area is annoying to tune. Fuel in boosted area is easy. Spark map is just difficult in general both in vaccuum and in boost.

I've been tuning fuel map today for a while, I was so tired looking at numbers and datalogs, that by the time I got to the meet, I didn't want to even look at it anymore.

Maybe next week i'll get Geo to help me. I should have the 0.5bar spring installed by then as well.

Gonna be degreasinggggg alllll weekend, and repainting/recoating my wheels as well.

So it should look like a different animal by next week.

 

the vibrations from the stiffy will be un noticable in a week... but it does help.. thats for sure.

 

I hope the vibrations go away lol. Yea it does help. I hardly have wheel hop anymore, if any. It feels more like cabin hop now instead

 

Aight right now the 9th sounds good, and this sat. morning we still gettin together..

Yea for sure next time, i run it hard, lol....just a lil too much traffic for my taste that night, didnt want anything bad happen....but i def. know how to run these cars hard, lolol

 

lol..well it will feel like its going away once u get use to it...you wont notice its even there after a few days.. the plastic inside will soften up and the vibrations should relax but you will still have the full affects of the stiffy still there.

 

I wonder how my car will feel once I get the motor mounts in, plus the stiffy

 

its going to vibrate ALOT with solid motor mounts!! lol... im telling u that from experience.. but the clutch engagement will be awesome.. and also your wheel hop wiill also decrease... just grease up the bushings inside and out when u toss them in..the speed source mounts are awesome!! and they do the job of the stiffy... but it doesnt hurt to have both.. just take ur time with the rear one.. i've heard its a major PITA to put it in

 

just wana thank all the new friendly faces i talked to last night...thanks for showing up and stopping by... we hope u had some fun hanging out with us ...and as always.. your welcome back anytime

1up love to all ya'll

 

yea joel (tamago) said the front mount is super easy, but the rear mount is a PITAssssssssssssssssssssssss. He's gonna help me do the install, since hes done a couple.

 

sweet!... did he say anything about dropping the subframe to mount the rear?

 

I believe that is necessary. He'll also be doing the rest of the install as well at the same time. Pulleys, Flywheel, tranny, sways. So we'll have to take out the subframe anyway.

Full day job

I know he had to drill, Curse, hacksaw, Curse, and finally hammer out the rear motor mount though.

 

Cursing seems to be a very important step when working on a car...
