It says we have to register to view it...lame.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

That pisses me off. I pay for this and then they sell out.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

^That does suck man..your other vids worked out great.

I refuse to register to view a video though, can you embed?

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

No, it looks like Vimeo is worth a try. I'll upload it there tonight.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Months and months of issues and this whole build for an uber-track setup, and all you can say is you lost a muffler bolt? C'mon man, did you have a blast tearing it up on the track or what? Or did you just do a few laps and call it quits after the CEL?

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Try Vimeo.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

I'm a noob, what can I say. I spent most of the day frustrated with my lack of ability. I never quite had a 'good' lap on the long course. My last session on the short course was good by my measure--I hit the line very well for a couple laps. I'm slow because I don't know what the limits of the car are and I'm afraid to find them.

My instructor was one of the instructors with the BMW club. He took me for a ride in his M3 and DAMN. I think I still have imprints from the harnesses on my chest.

I'm definitely going to do one of their 'car control' days when I get a chance.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

What CEL # did it throw?

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

It threw two P0137's (rear o2) but that could be from losing the bolt on one of the two mufflers. It had previous recorded three P0136's (front o2) in the last few weeks.

I ordered a new o2 today just to have it on hand. If I could just convince this exhaust to stay on the car...

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

What track were you guys running? Short or long course?

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

You don't have the magnaflow catback by chance do you? I know I watched scheides' old one just pop right off the hanger before. The rod part of the hanger didn't have the little edge on it to keep it inside the rubber.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

That wasn't my magnaflow, that was the ghetto catback that came on the car when I got it, made by a shop in SD. The magnaflow has given me zero issues.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Long in the morning and short in the afternoon.

This is actually the nuts working off the bolts. This is the third bolt/nut that I've lost. I picked up some lock washers for the replacement hardware. We'll see if that does it.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Oh, gotcha. Thought it was a magnaflow ;(

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

The Magnaflow hangars are very well designed, no way they'll ever pop off. My guess is they actually be harder to get out of the rubber hangars than stock.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

That looks like a winner. Not a terribly good video, anyway, but my sister-in-law shot about 20 and it was the best that she managed.

Sweet!

Surge tank working for you? No starving in the carousel or on the long turns?

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

You should have asked to use our camera between sessions. We only took a few videos but haven't looked at any of them yet.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

Fueling seems to be solid. I saw KnockCEL once when I was entering the main straight but I'm not sure what that was about. It was the only time that I saw knock indicated. AFRs were running mid-12's most of the day...at least on my gauge.

Re: Evo X upgrades
 

The good news is that it looks unlikely that the muffler is going to fall off. The bad news is that the one bolt holding it on is now stripped. hmpf. I guess I'll be swinging by an exhaust place tomorrow.
