Car goals 2013
 

Someone put this on another forum, and I'm bored as hell.

Car goals for me, make 3 track events with I guess 1 being PG, really 3 + PG.
stock appearing turbo goal: 10.99
If not upgrade and trap 135+mph with a bigger turbo
Do not explode stock motor.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Pull the motor in the Spyder. Take it apart and have the block decked so it stops pushing coolant. Get a new turbo.

Work on the evo more.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Finish the build.

PG1

PG2

More autox

Re: Car goals 2013
 

podium at a chumpcar race.

PM me if you have wheel-to-wheel racing experience and want to try chumpcar.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Get the car done mechanically, making 600+hp. And get the car cleaned up body wise with a lip kit, and new paint. My goal is more for like June 1 2013 though.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

No major problems with the motor. Not changing a lot so hopefully it's possible.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Drive out to the shootout, make pg, clean up car a lot.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Uhh... Drive it. Maybe install that N02 kit that's been sitting around since I sold my GVR4...

Re: Car goals 2013
 

1) Get my fuck'n car back!
2) 400+ WHP
3) Don't break anything!

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Get the car to shift correctly and leave the line properly, drive my car from minneapolis to BIR and compete in the unlimited class. (not planning on beating starlets and the like) Then drive back home with heat and a radio!

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Drop 60 lbs, add 40 hp, add driver mod. I want to do two MAM events and at least one Proving Grounds next summer, as well as a few autocross events. More motivated and excited than I ever have been to race.
Really want to beat my 2011 vette lap time at BIR (114.7s)

Re: Car goals 2013
 

1. Finish gathering parts
2. Assemble car
3. Have fun

Re: Car goals 2013
 

1) Get car running without turbo
2) Work out any problems it may have
3) If money permits, get the car turboed and back on the road.
4) Work out any problems it may have

Re: Car goals 2013
 

I'd love to spend a few hundred on the bike and run a 8.99. Kind of a stretch but could happen I think with a few tiny mods and more seat time

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Get the black talon running good
Part out the silver talon
Get the bike tranny back together
Get down to 3 vehicles + bike (long ways to go!)

Re: Car goals 2013
 

^Make a project thread too :)

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Take car out of storage and toss it around corners all summer again! MORE TIRE!

Re: Car goals 2013
 

car goals 2013:

Green 91 gvr4, make it a good DD, AC should be going in by the hot season.

White 91 moon taxi...... sub 9.45 runs at BIR, ya that thing.

~John

Re: Car goals 2013
 

9.50 out of the Evo.

No major mechanical issues.

For the Truck, take it to the Baja 1000/500 course if another group goes this summer.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

10.99 or quicker
Run in the money at Proving Grounds (stock apearing class)
Attend more local events
keep the car off jackstands

Re: Car goals 2013
 

550 on spray, 315's on the back, run on a road course.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Oh yeah, that reminds me. 275's on the back. :D

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Go to BIR and drive on the road course

Re: Car goals 2013
 

My goal for 2013 is a reliable DD with no major issues surpassing the 70k mile mark! Stock clutch staying strong would be nice too ;)

Re: Car goals 2013
 

race the grocery getter at proving grounds, now that it has a transmission that can hold a real launch..(stupid wrx trannys)

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Fuck winter, fuck cars, gah I have bad thoughts going on in my head right now to be honest!

-Buy Anna a new whip to replace the GLI
-Sell evo
-drive GLI, maybe upgrade to a nice audi next winter.

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!


Your car is done, what you talkin about willis?

You mean at Proving Grounds or some other event? In the summer? How about with A/C, that's more like it!


*sniff*

AMEN

Seriously you gotta just put another stock clutch in that thing if it ever lets go. Too impressed.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Part 1) Pray and hope the Flat Black Dragon makes it to Spring. It is slowly falling apart.

Part 2) Still researching what I want to do with the GenCoupe.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

I still have to address my #3 injector issue, fit a better intercooler, and do ALL of the suspension stuff I have to address, I need at least to do a rear upper ball joint, a tie rod end, and LCA bushings, but I'll probably do the whiteline kit up front as long as I'm in there, and then there's the struts and springs that need to get done. And that's just the BUILD list.

And then there's the whole issue of after over a year still having my band-aid'd "get me by" tune on the car.

And the t-case that's re-fucked because the lash was set wrong needs to be addressed, I don't know how many launches it'll take in its current state, I was worried to death of it last year, risked it, and came out okay, but I don't think I'll be lucky twice.

And then there's the valve stem seals that failed after 16k, so I need to tear off the head and address those, I'll probably have to do guides since that's the most likely cause of failure.

Hopefully the half gallon or so of coolant that straight up disappeared two weeks back was crazyrandomaliens and that's not anything big or major.

Oh, and I'll be on winter tires on the road course if I don't get new summer meats.

So yeah. Goals n shit. Just because it's drivable doesn't mean it's any semblance of being close to ready for what I want to do with it this year.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Heh I forgot how much stuff there is to do on your car. STS!

I like that idea! It would be nice to see a fast audi around here I only know of 2 that make 500ishwhp.

Easy, you are ricer pete, badass body kit and moar boost!! Maybe billet 16g...:love:

Re: Car goals 2013
 

275-18? I have a set!

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Thought about it, but it's going to come down to balancing rolling diameter with the smaller ones up front. Hadn't thought about 17's in the front and 18's in the back though. Hmmm. Either way, it's not going to be cheap.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

1. Find a new DD.
2. Go boating!

Re: Car goals 2013
 

Only part one has something to do with cars. But 2 is soooo guuuuddddd!

New DD = A8?

Re: Car goals 2013
 

-rims (looking at drag dr49 18x9 w nitto nt05 or hankook rs3 dunno on size yet leaning 265/35/18)
-Girodisc pads/rotors (orange s/s pads w bailout rotors)
-E85 tune at dbp
-rebuild twin disc (my main priority for car)

Re: Car goals 2013
 

This year my goal is to beat the 20g 1/4 record of 10.96

Re: Car goals 2013
 

I bet you do it. Your car fucking flies.

Re: Car goals 2013
 

1. Attend both PG's

Re: Car goals 2013
