rhythmnsmoke

Thanks Ace. I have a couple more to upload when I get them done.

Awesome video. I participated in a Minnie Pearl event at NSS a couple years ago in my neighbors Mini Cooper GP and it was a blast! The same neighbor was actually there last weekend for the same event i suppose... they were running their "leMons" car. it was an eagle talon that had front and rear bumpers off and had scout badge looking numbers on it. haha

rhythmnsmoke

Thanks man. Yeah I know about the leMons races...lol. No leMons cars was there this past weekend though. Perhaps he ran with TracksUnlimited, I know they do a lot of leMons car races. I run with TracksUnlimited too, when they have an event. This past weekend was the Music City Mustang club event though.

Travis, is your entire interior gutted? I semi removed my interior and I weighed in about 2800 including me.

rhythmnsmoke

Thanks man. That's one thing I strive to do, and that's be a better driver. Having a fast car is one thing, but being a fast driver is another. I want that "driver" aspect of it. More seat time I will get better for sure. Take some racing school courses and see what I can make of it.


Still stock would be:

- Door and Door panels
- Dash
- Center console all the way to the arm rest/cubby
- Headliner along with sunroof

Removed

- Everything from seats back
- Removed stock seat belts
- Removed stock seats (Corbeau seats weight 19lbs a piece)
- Removed carpet
- Removed Sound deading

2550lbs without and 2770 w/driver.

I envy you.

My dream is to drive on a road course...

Mad props for doing what you do, and showing those guys how a Scion gets down.

rhythmnsmoke

Thanks man, greatly appreciate the support. Remember though, anyone can get out there so don't think you need to have mods X, Y and Z first before getting out there and having fun.

rhythmnsmoke

The other part to that same session.

Damn nice driving man, I thought after you passed the mustang he was going to catch up on the straight, good job holding him off!

well out here in missouri, there isnt much racing going on at all.

so track time seems kinda out of reach

lvlonkey

man that looks really exhilarating. must be nice to be able to push your car to the limits in a safe environment.

rhythmnsmoke

The 2010/11 did. But it gets negated as soon as we come off the bank because at that point, I put like 5 car lengths between us as he can't brake where I can, nor carry the same speed into it. Once that happens, and you open a gap....you get left. You will see in another vid, this dude name Wynn in his S2k with bolt-ons and KW V3 coilovers with Dunlop 255's all the way around. Good driver and runs in the advanced group.

I was on the track with him in the very last session, he's faster than me. I wave him by at one point, and I stick with him through the corners but when we hit the straight he puts some distance between. Then after hitting the corners again, eventually you start to open up a wider gap.


That won't happen though once I'm back on boost....

Are you going to boost a stock motor or are you going to do a build?

rhythmnsmoke

Both. Stock first (push it to around 300-350whp on PTuning's dyno), then build later for 450-500whp @ 7800rpms.

Car revs to 6800rpms presently.

sounds like a plan

I cant wait to get my motor built

rhythmnsmoke

Oh man, I got so much planned it's ridiculous. The end result will be sick though..
