Re: Car goals 2013
 

Would like to put nitrous on the maxima if I keep it. Would like to have a fun car again. Only time will tell

Re: Car goals 2013
 

sell beater and get a 09 Lancer Ralliart. Run low 12s on pump.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Ratchet shifter,
Sheet metal intake mani
New fender and paint
New stall
Cdi box
Clean up bay

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Nice another Auto. Make a built thred in the project area so we can see what you"ve got.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Start working on the Talon again. This will include too much to list.

A turbo swap on the GS-T for sure. Maybe an engine rebuild; who knows. I know I sure as hell do not want another T-Toosmall, low RPM spooling turbo on this thing. More traction on the low end and more power up top? Sounds good to me.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

11.5 or faster in the 1/4, and to make it through the summer without popping the stock block.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Fix all oil leaks, clean up the bay, bigger turbo, tune. Would love to attend more events and take to the track for the first time as well!

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Get car back from DB
600+HP or bust
Make it to more events
Enjoy 2013

Re: Car goals 2013
 

I have a Hurst quarterstick ratchet shifter I'll sell for cheap, even has a new never used cable.
It will be sweet to see that car run low 10s

Re: Car goals 2013
 

- Attend both PG's this year, use the new chumpcar for both events.
- Attend 2 chumpcar races this year.
- Have fun with the Evo, do one HPDE at Road America.
- Attend both Mitsustyle cruises for this year.
- Do one Auto-x with the Civic.
- Host at least one newb mod day.
- Update suspension setup on the Evo and install brake ducting.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Oh man! If you do that, I'll join you with the Golf!

DD autoX day! woot!

Dave - you should get on board with your Kizashistan :D

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Yep, for sure, the DD challenge accepted!

Scheduling wise thinking one of the corvette club auto-x events would be the ticket.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Hmmm, auto x the kizashi...hmmm, I have never done it in the evo but i feel more comfortable doing it in that lol.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Me and my wife plan on being there on June 11/12th. I think 1 day is $250 and 2 days is $395.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Can I bring my old civic and play?

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Sweet, I will keep that in mind, maybe I can talk Brandon and Ron into bringing thier evos out to play as well.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Since I start a new job beginning of February...

Timeframe is moved up, I want the remainder of the engine stuff done, and hopefully the t-case before B4B. Everything will be done by PG2013.1

Re: Car goals 2013
 

congrats on the new job dude!

I hope to do a timing belt on my honda come spring as well as just put gas in it and drive. :drive1:

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Thanks!

And that Honda shit is hardcore! See you on the street, son! :biggrin:

Re: Car goals 2013
 

My Talon should be buck wild this year! If I get it together in time, and all goes well 8's? The Evo's will remain the same, take the grey one to the strip and the other to the track.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Sounds lame, bring that bike out so everyone can walk around it

That is sick. I say take that grey one on the track, that powerband has got to be perfect for everything.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

You don't even know. I got on the interstate and vtec kicked in. Sounded cool but didn't feel anything.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Well sadly the summer is over.. but here is how I did this year, overall I would view it as a success!
- Attend both PG's this year, use the new chumpcar for both events. - Completed - Did both events with the Evo instead
- Attend 2 chumpcar races this year. - TBD
- Have fun with the Evo, do one HPDE at Road America. - Completed - Had fun with the evo @ BIR and the DCTC events instead
- Attend both Mitsustyle cruises for this year. Completed
- Do one Auto-x with the Civic. Completed
- Host at least one newb mod day. Completed
- Update suspension setup on the Evo and install brake ducting. Completed , Installed AMS brake duct kit and RobiSpec Coilovers and suspension bits.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Nice! Glad you completed a successful year. I don't even want to look at what I posted, I am guessing I did not complete it.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Yea baby.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

My year was... Uh... Yeah. LOL.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

It kind if made it to spring befor being stolen so...50% completed?

Re: Car goals 2013
 

I definitely didn't run my 8.99. Last trip to the track I got down to 9.5's with no bottle and was able to get my nhra license this summer which I consider a win.

I think I could get it down the mid/low 9.4's on motor with a little bit better 60'. Last year on a 35 shot I knocked off .3 seconds off my 1/4 time, so maybe next year I could get close.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

-Buy Anna a new whip to replace the GLIComplete. Boy did that backfire on me!
-Sell evo FUCK THAT! I WANNA GO FAST!
-drive GLI, maybe upgrade to a nice audi next winter. Complete and Semi-complete! Truck stuff!

Otherwise, if the evo is still in my garage come summer, I'd LOVE to finally make a clean pass with the EF4. 11.2 or bust! FAIL! Could not get the thing to break 11.9 but I had fun doing it.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Buuuuttttttt.. Now you are the Mayor!

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Technically I was successful with my goals...well the first part. The whole not changing a lot..yea that didn't work.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

I'll play.

1. Make car driver suck less Completed. Attended an autocross driving school, instructed at all Evo days @ DCTC and got some laps in myself, attended five autocross events and one Test-N-Tune (all my schedule allowed), won STU twice (including one bump class made up of STU, STR, and STX), very narrowly missed a third class win, cracked the top 30 at one event, top 25 at another (much tougher than you might think), on fairly worn, sub-optimal Star Specs.

2. Make car slower (ASP to STU) Completed with some additional mods on top of it. Stock boost tune, HFC instead of test pipe, removed LICP, 245 Star Specs on 17x9 Volk CE28's, AST 5200's, and a bunch of lightweight mods.

My 2014 plans are fairly well set, but the details are still baking.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Nope, nope, nope. June 1 2014 is my new goal, lol.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Built a 2.4 for the spyder and did a ton of other stuff to it.

Did work a bit on the evo but did sell off a lot of parts from it.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

I like this game.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

None so far and doesn't look like any.
Said Fuck stock appearing.
Upgraded turbo and everything went back to stock, so not sure there.
And I sold a crappy stock motor for what seems like an ok one, well at least at idle.

Not sure what to do with this thing, way too busy with everything else and well they keep releasing badass stock framed turbos, so not sure if I should keep on this T4 train.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Drop 60 lbs: Complete, plus more weight to be dropped this winter
Add 40 hp: Nope, just a safer tune that yielded maybe 20hp
Driver mod: I hope so
Two MAM events: Nope, but I did BIR and Iowa Speedway
Autocross events: Complete
Beat vette time @ BIR: Technically yes, but the course is wider now. The vette kills this car on turns 1 and 2 because of top speed ability.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Actual follow up:

Re: Car goals 2013
 

I haven't run a 10 yet But I still want to get the car out in the cold air.

I screwed up and got DQed PG1 and PG2 was rained out. The car would have been very competitive in stock appearing if the guy behind the wheel hadn't blown it.

I hung out with my car friends more then other years and attended a few car shows with my 63 Mercury meteor

The car was down for 1 week with the hose clamp in the head issue and was repaired for less then $50 otherwise the car was trouble free all summer

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Come out to cedar falls tomorrow for the midway shootout. Weather looks perfect and the house of hook should help get that 10!
