What time, I might be down to go and meet some people from the forums

90% stock Eclipse GS-T, I've been dying to find out what i run before the season is over.

so yeah, I'll just change my oil pan out today and try and be down there, what time does it start!

[-EpicEVO-]

I'll be there around 4:30

Track was pretty bad tonight! Couldn't hook up very well, but i did make some improvments.

1.815 60ft -- Not good :(
4.681 330
7.031 1/8
105.56 mph-- Good
9.014 1000ft
10.711
133.12--Good

I almost hit the tree I was SO sideways, this was definatly the craziest launch i have ever had:) WAY TOO MUCH FUN!!
I also went 11.2@123 off nitrous.

I managed to fry my alternator in the process of doing a burnout, i think the alternator got a little over revved. :) 9k rev limiter on the burnout ooopps

Cool, you broke the 130mph point.

I assume you sprayed it?

Pueblo should be lots of fun ;)

Congrats on the 133mph Mark! BBQ ran a 11.78 @ 120mph last night also so I guess I better get my butt in gear and get the IX in the 11's.

[-EpicEVO-]

Yes i did use the spray, but i need to get my other tach installed the factory tach sucks and i keep shifting at 7000rpms rather than 9k. So i will be installing that, and hopefully doing some more tuning i know this setup is way more capabable!!

Hopefully we will have 3 or 4 DSM/ Evo's in the 130mph range

Get the silver one out!!

[mitchel63]

Congrats....I was there last night and saw that launch....way to go for it! I think my buddy Nate was talking to you guys for a bit actually.

I apparently forgot how to drive, or the track really did just suck. Either way, I was trapping 108 on the 16G, which is better than it had been going, so that is good. But my driving skillz only got me ET's in the high 12's. Maybe next week!

[birelshifterkart]

Wow...congrats. 133mph is mooovin' up here regardless of what you're in! I'm sure a few streetbikes are jealous ;)

[Hal]

Now, it's a race to 135 at Pueblo next month... or *maybe* 140 :eek:

Oh Mark, the NHRA comp license rule is only based upon E/T :)

[g34rh34d]

I'm going tonight, (Oct 3rd) will bring the Talon, but not running (no use at least right now, haven't done anything new since the last time I ran..) But I will be watching my bud run his Scion. He runs consistent 13.3s. Besides I just haven't been there all year!! Had to get there at least once!

Hope to see some of ya'll.

FH

[-EpicEVO-]

Nick

[turbomirage]

Good fun tonight. Ran a new personal best in the Mirage.

12.357 @ 122.13 mph w/ 2.110 60'

Stock internal 4g61t, pte 50 trim @ 19 psi, 91 oct, and the shitty driver mod worked great.

[g34rh34d]

Well, as much as I tried to resist the urge, I ended up running the car.. And heck, I FINALLY broke out of my dreaded 14.3s!! Yes, It isnt stellar by no stretch of the imagination, but I have broken into the 13s!!

Here are my runs in the order I ran:

Temp: 78F Baro: 23.80
R/T: .266
60’: 2.031
330: 5.951
1/8: 9.162
mph: 77.50
1000: 11.853
¼: 14.148
mph: 97.98


Temp: 77F Baro: 23.90
R/T: -.058
60’: 1.939
330: 5.804
1/8: 8.99
mph: 77.95
1000: 11.672
¼: 13.962
mph: 98.97


Temp: 75F Baro: 23.80
R/T: -.400
60’: 2.081
330: 5.881
1/8: 9.042
mph: 78.26
1000: 11.713
¼: 13.995
mph: 99.17

If I could only learn how to launch!! hehe. well, I wasn't expecting anything wonderful on my first run, I figured it would be another 14.xx run. But when I saw it was on the edge of a 13.xx, I had to try a little harder. Needless to say I got into the 13s (barely), but if I had some better 60 foot times I'd be willing to bet I could shave a few tenths. Either way, I am happy with the results!

Thanks to Steven for doing an awesome street tune on the car a few weeks back.. that made the difference. Now I need to get off my butt and throw the wideband in and see what we can get.

For those who I met last night, it was cool meeting some new peeps!

[jaysmirage]

well i didnt get out of the 14s my best was a 14.2 @111.8 and on the last run i lost second gear. so time for some slicks and time to rebuild the trans.

[NJpearl94]

I ran a couple of 15.7 @ 88 mph passes in the talon. First time trying to launch on a stock clutch. My first pass I think I had a 2.5 60' and never did better then a 2.0. Not bad for 7psi, 3" exhaust, and an upper i/c pipe.

Those mirages were fun to watch, little rippers! I think Mark was the fastest car up there last night?

Nick

What did mark run?

AWD or FWD?

[lbaron]

I was looking around on CRN and it looked like Mark ran a best of 10.8.

[-EpicEVO-]

I had some troubles with a sliping clutch it seems like

pulled a 10.8 @124 letting off just after the 1000ft mark.

Then i stayed on a different pass after missing second gear and trapped 128 still slipping clutch in forth gear.

I picked up the new turbo we will be putting that on tomorrow and tuning it next week with that turbo plus nitrous hopefully on a clutch that will hold up..

Mark

[lbaron]

Think you'll get back down to bandimere next week before the end of the season?

[-EpicEVO-]

I dont think i am going to go to test and tune again, but i am going to the race in pueblo on the 14th

Mark

[COBHC]

Taking the lower honeycomb out of the stock MAS helped quite a bit. Last time at the track my best ET was a 16.2, this time it was down to 15.4, which is alright , but considering I'm running 16psi with a 3" exhaust...that's not so great.

[NJpearl94]

Its an AWD. I could mess with modding it but I think I am just going to sell it after a month or so.
