*sigh* I'm with you man.

murlo, don't practice too much on the street, the conditions on the track will be slightly different. Just try rolling off the line a few times, focus on getting down the track and through the gears smoothly. Then worry about getting aggressive

Um, I would say you need to practice on the street as much as you can really, more practice the better, assuming you go to RFR or BIR, it will be a lot more slick there, my car always felt like it hooked better on the street.

I've been to both tracks.

For what I'm blowing on this ride, I sure hope it scares me a little.

[scheides]

omg dude, I'm sorry, that sucks. Hopefully it can be fixed easily with a bit of drilling and tapping.

[simulatedwood]

mlomker,

Oh noes! Bummer! So does this mean we may need to sacrifice some virgins to get rid of the curse?

I think it is time to go buy a lottery ticket cause your luck has no where to go but up.

[Murlo26]

The streak continues...simply stunning that Mitsu could choose to give you this one.

It will all be worth it I am sure!

[Kracka]

Maybe I missed it above, but do you know when you'll have it back?

No idea...Shane said he was bringing the cam cap to MAP but I don't know how long they'll need to have it. Once that's back then it depends on Shane's schedule again...and then we're on to whatever the next problem is.

You guys have really rocked on this project. Thanks.

[Murlo26]

^So wait, you guys already drilled and tapped it? Nice

Lomker...is that a light i see...at the end of that tunnel?

[4g63tcrazy]

Dont worry. I had to wait over a month just to get my head resurfaced and some valve springs installed.. It will be all worth it once you get it back. Also Murlo, launching with a 6-puck, you REALLY need to slip the clutch out. A LOT. They like to bite and grab very quickly.

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

I didn't have to slip the 6 puck in my dsm hardly at all. It grabbed so quickly that the tires just spun through first unless I pedaled it. It actually pulled harder if I didn't let it slip much. I can't wait to get the 6 puck into the 240.

[turbotalon1g]

^lol.

At bir on a wed night I almost went into the wall a bunch of times this was with 210hp and toyo T1Rs.

I usually cut 1.7s and 1.6 is my best, on all seasons, 1.6 was on some craigslist all season for $100 for 4, Never ran a serious tire or trans.

[t-revzr]

Well I never launched the car so thats why. Still ran mid 12's tho ha ha!

[mlomker]

Shane hopes to fire my car up for the 1st time on Tuesday. I'm stoked!

[Kracka]

Good luck!

Tuesday, as in tomorrow?

Saaaaweet!

Yup. Then we can figure out how we want to break it in prior to tuning. At this point I'll be excited just to have it idle!

[Murlo26]

Having a car that idles is cool...better than a car that sits

Can't wait to see results on this, i might stop up at DB tomorrow to talk with Shane/danny about my car, ill have to check yours out!
