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.

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. |

PG1 SEMI-COMPLETE. I showed up with a blown head gasket.
PG2 SEMI-COMPLETE. Oops.
More autox FAILED. I autox'd less than any previous year.

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
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)

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
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

Well, not really a success or a failure, though I have never put a timeline on this thing. Just something to mess with in spare time is all, plus the year ain't over yet

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
