H & R coilovers, TRD strut brace front, Ingalls 4-point brace rear, Hotchkis sways front and rear.

Wilwood big brakes, slotted/drilled rotors if that was your next question.

I'm pretty good at closed circuit, I mostly suck at drag racing.... so far.

 

It would be an honor to have a quote from me in the sig of one of the highest HP tC's I know.... I am looking forward to some new times man. I hope/wish for you to break 11's at least.

You can do it, I have faith. And what boost controller are you running again?

 

get rid of the big brakes if you wanna drag. you cant fit a 15" rim on.

 

my god - If you have diff axels get some slicks and see what she can do ... no doubt you are doing everything the right way w/ your car. You ever consider taking the back seat out or do you want the inside to be stock? You could always put a false floor where the rear seats were and just carpet it.

What boost controller do you have? Decreasing the boost in first and second gear is deff a good idea since you could get some nice jumps.

 

I have the World Racing TBC-1 boost controller. I have yet to teach it my gears, then I can program boost by gear. Any suggestions?

I like racing track more than drag, so I'm afraid the Wilwood's will be staying (member, NASA, favorite track, the big track at Willow Springs). My car is set up more for rally/autocross than anything else.

And a little bling thrown in for the shows.

I know Chris Rado has 17 x 11's on his Time Attack car with Brembo brakes; I should be able to set up something similar with some drag radials.

Back seat and weight issues..., well I have been thinking about that. BUT...this is my daily driver (I take my son to school in it), so I think the interior stays and I like my system too (removable for the track at least).

 

Sounds so nice...

Where are those pictures you promised last week?

 

oh crap sorry, I forgot. I'll take some tomorrow. I started installing a shift light today (another detail that I think will help me out a lot), and I got hung up on which wires to use.

..so when that's done I'll take some pics tomorrow.

 

willwoods allow u to run a 15 inch wheel.

 

im not gonna say that your wrong. but can you show me an example of willowood big brakes with a 15 inch rim?

 

What about an LSD and some motor mounts?

 

change driver ! that car has too much potential.

 

Yes, he has a Quaife LSD.

I've suggested motor mounts, but he has an ETD for now (I'm trying to convince him to get motor mounts to see how he likes them before I buy a set :D ).

[Goes back to watching thread]

 

Sick setup all around. I'm glad to see you practicing and testing at test and tune. Too many people go there trying to kill their car to go so fast when it's called test and tune not beat everyone at all cost. Although I guess I did the same a few times.

Good job!

 

thank, Paul.

tfroezel, ouch -- I'm sure another driver could do some faster times with the car.... .but then.... it is my car, my investment, and I get to play with it... ;-)

 

^nice

 

YUPS i got ya. good luck entering 11 sec club.
Maybe if you let someone teach how to drive your car.
you could reach your goal faster.
but hey it's up 2 you your investement right ;)

 

forget about teaching you ... he just needs to tape it and write down what he did for each run .....review the tape ...then learn from his mistakes. Also - maybe someone can comment on the run and give some tips. Becides that he needs to drive his own car and have fun with it. Who the heck wants someone else to drive it....??~~???

 

This is why I have the Defi gauges that provide a playback feature via the control unit. A very niffty little feature to have to show you what your boost is doing in between shifts and what not.

 

I can see how data logging will be helpful. The TBC-1 has a 90-second record feature, plays back rpm vs. boost so you can tune your boost curves. I haven't tried that feature yet, though.

 

^^You have a lot of UN-tapped features.

Yeah, definitely figure out your car first before turning up the boost will be the best benefit for you. You may find yourself running faster at a LOWER PSI level once you find out how every thing works.
