Cruise Tonight Perhaps
-
Good point on going to the cities for AWD dyno, thats where I'm heading on July 16 for a tune. By then I will have my new front mount and cold air (APS DR650 FMIC and APS CAI) on too
. As far as I can tell the only shop in Mpls/St Paul that has an AWD dyno is RS Motorsports, so Adam, it may be a bit cheaper for you to call them up and see if they can get you on their dyno.BTW, what mods do you have done on that thing now? I know you said you had the injector mod done and also a UTEC, what else is done to warrant a dyno tune? just curious cuz I really didn't need one until I had my 18G installed and my injectors modded. Assuming you have been driving with the injectors modded for some time now, I would assume you have a reasonably safe tune done already and you already stated in some past posts that your car is now "properly tuned", did you add more parts? If so, what did you add? Can you notice a big difference in performance? Etc, etc, etc...

Last night you had a great one, your clutch wasn't holding and causing knock between shifts. Thats a very odd problem. You must have fixed it being you asked Chuck to race. Sounds like your cars up to par today so accept the challenge you made and run Jim.

I am definately not in any shape to race, even for fun. I am running like 9.5:1 to 10.3:1 AFR's due to a knock problem I can't seem to solve (hence the need for a dyno tune). Sure, I can still pin myself back in the seat from a roll, however from a stop I almost die out on launch (actually did that last week in Harvey, car launched, died, I restarted and beat the chevelle that I was running against..10.5 second run.....too bad that was 1/8 mile and not 1/4. Heh. So, for now I will decline any/all offers for races. After July 16 we'll see what happens.Oh, and my stock top mount is severely inadequate for a larger turbo (hell, they're hardly adequate for stock). After 5 mins of idling the IC is too hot to touch for 10 seconds...I think subaru invented the first "inter-heater" with that.

but maybe you should spend less time worrying about racing a car that is in the body shop, and spend more time worrying about the cars that actually "want to race you"

call my cell phone for that friendly race. I'll be done with work after 5 I'll try to call you before on my break and make plans with ya. I'm sure you will get me from a roll as tjams explained I have the same problem, but what the hell. I want to race from a dig too and see how my 60 foot goes.
-
UPDATE
Made plans with Jim for tonight, we are going to do both from a dig and from a roll he will be meeting me at my place. EDITED LOCATION (BY JIM)
P.S Tufte you should stop by and bring the teggy, probally gonna get humiliated but lets go for it too anyways.
EDIT REASON: If you'd like to see it / tag along, call my cellphone. Locatin removed for obvious reasons.
-
My bad
Anyways the teggy will probally humiliate us both Jim, so lets be prepared I got drinks for us afterwards
EDIT: The more I think about it maybe we should make full interior a requirement
jk tufte. -
Smartass
How about 4 doors? LOL?
-
It's gonna be an all timer tonight....
-
UPDATE Its all on videotape too
From a dig - WRX
From a roll - Eclipse
exactly what we kind of expected...
good race had fun, maybe another time eh Jim?
-
Put up video!!!!
-
Most definately from a dig, didnt allign wheel and we should have someone flag rather then the 3 honk rule. Tough to judge timing then rather then visibly seeing someone (IE lights)
Just goes to show you the advantages and disadvantages (especially of subarus) AWD Drivetrain.
Had fun though Jim! Maybe this weekend bro? I'm trying to tune it more I'm running so pig rich going to start leaning it out since I updated my UTEC to do open fuel controlling mapped for modded stock injectors.
