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

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.

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

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.

**scheides** · 10-11-2013

-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.

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

BriK · 10-11-2013

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.

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

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.

I like this game.

No major mechanical issues. Yeah, about that. This went so well I parted out the car

For the Truck, take it to the Baja 1000/500 course if another group goes this summer. No Baja trip, but, made a couple of other Raptor runs

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.

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.

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.

Actual follow up:

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.

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

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