I'm afraid I do not have a stock bumper or hood. I would offer my hood since I need an excuse to get a C-One CF Hood but I drive an xA so I don't think it'll fit.

It makes sense what you're doing for your gf, I'd do the same if I was in your position.

 

cool cool. well im off saturday! if i get tags on the car i want to cruise up to omaha and take the girl out to eat somewhere. the beater wouldnt make it up there. its so crappy! lol. i think cheese cake factory sounds delicious this weekend. its not set in stone but maybe we could all meet up?

 

I'll be at a road rally in Cincinnati Ohio for the weekend but next time for sure!

 

damn must be nice being able to go to stuff like that! =[

 

Yeah i basically save up all my vacation time for the summer, because that's the peak of racing season and also when they put on events such as this. The rest of the year, I just work and not take any days off because there's not much.

 

ha dont blame yah! i havnt stayed at my job long enough to get vaca time yet. pretty lame. even if i did id still probably work cause id just be stuck at the house doing pretty much nothing. lol

 

Going to Mid America Motorplex in about 20 minutes if anyone else wants to join.

 

I don't have a scanner or else I would upload my time slips, but I ran a 9.6 @ 89mph in the 1/8th on Friday night. That was my first time ever, and I had fun doing it even though I couldn't get traction in 1st or 2nd lol. Before I could get a second run in, my car died while idling during staging.

 

thats it? damn tires! lol what are all the mods? thats like basic bolt on times =[

 

ACT heavy duty clutch, Competition lightweight flywheel, LSD (can't remember which one), and tires are Nitto Neo Gens wrapped on 18" Konig Lace rims. I agree it is a bit slow but like I said it was my first time ever going down a track (with any car) so the staging, hitting the tree, and getting grip was all new to me lol.

 

so basically you are all stock. that seems to be about right for those times. even with a lsd you were still having trouble? thats no fun! what were you launching it at? there are only two LSDs that i know of that are made for this tranny. quaife or OS giken.

 

I am nowhere near stock. I have a turbonetics turbo kit pushing 11.5lbs of boost using Hydra EMS, and custom 3" exhaust along with the mods I listed in my last post. The LSD I have is the Quaife btw.

 

work on the launch youll be fine. what was your 0-60'?

 

60' was 2.6 r/t was .512

 

Do you need anything special to do the drag there? You just show up and go through tech and that's it? How much is it and for how many runs?

 

its $10 for spectator and $20 for unlimited drag runs from 7pm till midnight. Just show up, pay, go through tech, and run as many times as you want.

 

i think you have to have a helmet at MAM as well too. ive never been on the track there.

 

Most, if not all of the muscle car drivers were wearing helmets. Myself and a handful of other drivers were NOT wearing helmets. I asked the tech about helmets and he said it isn't required on Friday nights for the street drags.

 

sounds good - do you ever see any people ride along? that's really what I'm interested in

 

Actually I did see one or two people have someone in the passenger seat when I was down there.
