Sweet, I'll have my Intake by then, I'm going for sure!

[cosmicspd]

awesome. going to get this right this time. I will get this car to do high 13's now matter how sad I will be after

[1mpg]

Hahah you are crazy man! We will bring some ice too, put it on your IC before the drive so no drip at the track hopefully, or just keep the ice in a bag.

[cosmicspd]

:hypnotized: it ...willl...do...it...

[z00mz00m3]

Maybe I'll take my exhaust off up to the headers like the cobalt.. maybe I'll shave some time. LOL j/k BIIIIIG j/k

[cosmicspd]

your not even kidding...

[z00mz00m3]

You bet your ass I'm kidding lol Besides my exhaust is welded up to my headers so there's not much I'd be able to do other than take a sawsall to it.

[Target:STi]

what time is the track open til? i dont get off work til around 5 and its a 2 hour drive. i've been meaning to head down there.

[z00mz00m3]

Tech opens at 6:30, racing starts at 7:00, and they usually shut down the staging lanes around 10:45.

[1mpg]

Sweet, one more comin!

[Ektor]

Theres too much happening that week... maybe next time.

[z00mz00m3]

I actually won't be able to go on the 16th. I have work .

[1mpg]

Aww crap, oh well, maybe next time, puttin my intake on tomorrow

[z00mz00m3]

Maybe next time I'll have my springs on which might actually help my time a little bit. Besides I wanna try a different driving technique I think.

[1mpg]

cool, driving like what?

[z00mz00m3]

I wanna try a little smoother launch. the only thing is if I don't give my car about 2800-3000 off the line it'll kinda bog down afterwards. I've gotta find a good in between of rpms and clutch so I don't lose traction but don't bog at the same time.

[1mpg]

Good luck, I am horrible at launching but I keep TCS on so I just floor it after I start moving!

[z00mz00m3]

I don't have that feature unfortunately.

[1mpg]

well thats what the track is for, just try the highest rpm before wheel spin, and then you have to figure out how much more you can push the pedal in as you go. Not an exact science like a trans brake, but hey, its more fun this way.

[z00mz00m3]

I want my shifter to feel like Jamies, has he put in a short shifter and bushings or something? his shifts are so short. If mine were like that I'd shift incredibly fast.

[1mpg]

he has bushings+MM, no clue about shifter. I still havent felt his shifter yet (man that sounds gay)

[z00mz00m3]

Well I'll throw it out there, it was very nice. heh

[cosmicspd]

don't know if there is any more interests...but I may still go to wed.

[1mpg]

This wed or next wed?
