Dayum it was a good night at the track!

[Jess]

13.5@105 I feel like teh win.

[Zx RaTeD]

very nice!

[ActiveAero]

Are you kidding? That's freaking awesome!

Jess with some really really really good street tires, even colder weather, and a kick ace launch you could nip into the 12's.

[xamraci]

jess R the SHIZZY! I was behind him in the staging when I saw the number...I nearly shat myself 8)

my best was a 16.3 @ 83.5 mph with a 2.36 60'

[Jon|Hazan]

Are you kidding? That's freaking awesome!

Jess with some really really really good street tires, even colder weather, and a kick ace launch you could nip into the 12's.

Oh man this is all jess and i talked about for the ~1 hour trip back to auburn.. with a nice set of drag radials, he could bring that short time down to 1.8-1.9, thats .6 and .8 seconds deducted from the 1/4 mile time respectively. Easily into the 12s, and it wasn't even that cool tonight!

Only thing i was sorta dissapointed in was adam not breaking into the 14s, he had a lot of great runs but he never broke 15. And i'm sure if nick stuck around a little longer, he would've gotten even closer to 15s...

I had a great time tonight guys, thanks a lot.

[Inspector]

yea, i had a great time tonite. first time to the track EVAR! ran a best of 15.4 @ 91.6 mph, with a crappy 2.3 60'. i had one run with a 2.1 60' but misshifted :evil: ...whatever, i was content with my times. great runs jess and everyone else!

[AadosX]

Yeah great night.. Jess really surprised me.. I can't wait to slap my F-Body friends in the face with that number. BTW, did you ever see what boost you were running? haha.

[adam p]

I ran a 15.1@89 with a 2.2 60'. I had three 2.2 60's and 89mph EVERY RUN. WHAT THE HECK! WHERE ARE MY 14s.

Boost was dropping off early today in second gear WTF

2.2 60' felt pretty good, that is also a personal best. Oh well decent I suppose.

[linuxman51]

hm. i didnt need drag slicks to bust a 1.9 60 in sam's wagon, on my way to a 13.74 (to his 13.75.. oh yeah baby). 102.4 trapspeed.

and it took .9 seconds to shift from first to second (no shit, thats absolutely as fast as it would shift) i think i mighta gotten the time down a little from that (we've got the datalogs to prove this), but still, you get the idea. run 1st out, make a pot of coffee, then second's ready to rock.

lots of fun was had by all, waylayed a gunmetal gti, ripped his ass off the line and he just couldn't seal the deal, 13.76 to my 13.74 or something like that. i was looking over at him the whole time, he didnt gain any on the top end (just pulled back up along side while i was plugging in the coffee machine after 1st gear)

[AadosX]

lol... I assume that's vDUBdizzity or whatever?

[AU RSX-S]

13.5@105 I feel like teh win.

I will race you no longer. :wink: :lol:

[insert_car]

damn! :shock: awesome race guys.

jesssssss, yeaaaah boooiiiii! :lol: fuckin A man! great job.

adam: i want you to be at the track the next time i go. i want to ride in your car, and (drive, if you don't mind) i was traping 91.5 stock. i know the sunroof and wheel wieght make some diff. but it should'nt be that much.



)

[WiggiE]

Inspector: You should be able to hit low 15's easy, 14's with some work. I think you and I would be a good run.

AdamGTi: You are gonna have alot of trouble hitting 14's with that trap speed.

[1.8t]

HA! Jess. I told you she would hold on up higher with that IC and give you a better trap. Booyyaaa. 8) Great run. And KENNY!!! AWESOME run man! What was the setup last night? Boost? Octane? Etc... Congrats to both of you guys.

[Jess]

Thanks guys. John - I was running 11psi.

Once I get these bushings and shit in, I bet I can get a 19-2.0 on these shitty tires

[adam p]

Jess I'm proud of you boy, lol.

FYI, the first time I ever ran it was a 15.7 @ 94. Being my first time, of course the launch was just horrible but still the trap would have been higher than 89 on that run. Is the humidity killing me THAT MUCH. I am bewildered. How much better should my 2.2 60' be? Anyways, after the launch, my car just isn't fast enough. I couldn't pull on a Prelude SH!

ARGH!! !!!

[Inspector]

if you ran 94mph i wouldn't worry about it. i never got to race you. we need to go back some time soon, when the temp is a little lower. did you ever race your buddy with the 4th gen lude? the 5th gen vs. 4th gen battle was awesome, but of course the 5th gen was victorious! 8)

[Jon|Hazan]

wow i never realized inspector was BLAKE

wierd. congrats to all, indeed we are VERY proud of jess

[adam p]

Yeah, I raced Curt. He ran a 15.2 (his second try ever) and I ran a 15.3 :P (But I had a perfect reaction time so I won the street race MUAHAHA)

[Inspector]

nice! his car sounded really good...if i get exhaust i KNOW thats the exhaust to get now.

finished 2-2 in the end...
won:
'94 vtec prelude
nick's accord
lost:
stg III a4 (it wasn't even close, but i did beat him off the line :P )
'03 Mustang gt (took him off the line, but he ended up winning by 1/2 a second)

edit: haha, fixed profile for jon. now it includes my name.

[Jon|Hazan]

oh yeah and i counted... 24 misquito bites, FUCK

I designated a whole hour this morning to itching

[adam p]

Oh my gosh. I never got bit?

[Inspector]

I designated a whole hour this morning to itching

LOL...did you get any good footage for the video?

[adam p]

John took some funny video of me racing the Prelude SH :D John rip that when you get a chance :>

[Frosty_DUB]

Awesome jess!

Thats a better time than I would have expected Nick. Good work.

[Obike]

We're definately gonna have to make a trip to the track when I get the Scion... never been to a track and raced so I'll prolly be in the mid to high 20s :D

[WiggiE]

We're definately gonna have to make a trip to the track when I get the Scion... never been to a track and raced so I'll prolly be in the mid to high 20s :D
It's all good....my first runs at the track were 15.9's @ 90mph. My latest is 15.1 @ 91.7, and best trap is 93.0. If I ever decide to go back I should be able to hit 14's.

[Zx RaTeD]

yeah i needa head up there one weekend when Im in town, ever since I got my new engine and tranny and got rid of the 747 wing I wanna see what my shit can do now ; )

[xamraci]

I am fairly impressed with my times...16.3 in a car that weighs 2900lbs and has only 110WHP! 8)

hehehe :lol:

[Anderson]

Damn it!! CONGRATS TO EVERYONE!!! This is making me sad. I'm missing out on everything. :( I'm going to have to stop reading the boards....

Jess, have you gotten in the subframe spacers? How bad was the wheel hop on the runs?

Nick, when you working on that turbo? I may have to be coming back to auburn for a day, thought I might can lend a hand. (long story about the auburn trip)

[Jess]

Jess, have you gotten in the subframe spacers? How bad was the wheel hop on the runs?


Nope, not yet. I babied the car off the line a bit, so the wheelhop wasnt too bad. You better not quit visitin the boards ho!!!!!!

WE got the injectors installed and the battery relocated. I am gonna have a hell of time installing the Fuel pump seein that its not exactly located in the palce I thought it was... :oops: . No Big Deal

[Anderson]

I gotta get my new car first :D

[VDUBNDizzy]

lots of fun was had by all, waylayed a gunmetal gti, ripped his ass off the line and he just couldn't seal the deal, 13.76 to my 13.74 or something like that. i was looking over at him the whole time, he didnt gain any on the top end

Hmmm. Where to begin?

I'm not one to make excuses, but first off, as for ripping off the line, I cut the better light. :wink: Second, that was my worst 60' time and 2nd to worst ET of the night. Third, you are RWD, I'm FWD. Much easier for you to launch (weight transfer). Fourth, as for not gaining any top end, my turbo is a small hair dryer and my car is all midrange. Which means that your top end isn't that great either. Fifth, that was the best time the car has ran, correct? You beat the owner's best time so I'm assuayming that's the best that car has ran (correct me if I'm wrong). I ran three 13.6's and two 13.4's on Fri night. Lastly, as for waylaying, if you check that timeslip, you did have the better time but I still got the win light. 8)

Nice meeting everyone that I did meet. And congrats Jess. I knew your car had more than low 14's in it. Cold weather will be here soon so I'll be going back, shooting for 12's before the big turbo goes on at the first of the year.

[linuxman51]

:sigh: your volkswagon got beat by a stationwagon. single overhead cam station wagon at that. in full street trim on street tires.
hows that passenger seat?

[VDUBNDizzy]

:sigh: How did I get beat if I had the win light? :sigh: Drag radials are street tires too. And just because your Volvo ends in "wagon" doesn't mean my Volkswagen does too. :wink:

Edit: What size is the motor in that Volvo?

[AadosX]

What size is the motor in that Volvo?

OWNED.

Aight I didn't get footage including the Audi's time... I just have some footage of him racing, but with no times at the end. Anyways, here's what I've ripped so far:

Nah dude it was freakin hilarious - I could barely drive! The scream sounded so funny in person

I want to go next time, can we go on a Tuesday SOON????

I would like to go when there isn't too many people to laugh at me when they see how I drive. :oops:

Hey let me drive your car so I can see if I want a chip :)

[Frosty_DUB]

Just go get the APR trial for free.

its a displacement nigh unheard of in veedub land (at least in their 4 cyl lineup), a GODLIKE 2.3.

and how much money do you have in the golfcart?

[adam p]

oh boy.

[AadosX]

Question number 2, what turbo are you running?

And you can't talk about money... because the entire cost of his car isn't going to performance, like it is in the Volvo... his car is actually nice.

[xamraci]

Rub me down with popcorn butter and call me a colonel!

::sigh:: nobody really cares what you think, In fact i dont think "slow" and "sr20" ever entered into the conversation anywhere.

if it helps any, I dont think your 240sx is nice, thats not my style, i'd rather drive my mismatched sedan..

and we'll further alienate you from the conversation by tossing this one out.. he didnt *pay* anyone to do the mods to his car...

[AadosX]

I don't own a 240SX lol...

But thanks anyways for being a jackass for no reason. :lol:

[adam p]

Okay, please. Why the arguing? It's not a "biggest dick" contest. And John doesn't even have a 240sx. Can we just lose the cockiness? It's childish.

How bout those videos?

[AadosX]

Did I push a button or something? I thought you were already going at it... lol.

Anyways, I've talked to the new owner of my old car and he said he's gonna bring it to the track sometime that I'm there so I can drive it for kicks.

[phillyd]

Yeah I know, its just a good excuse to drive it :)

My GTI ? :wink: :?:

[adam p]

Any chipped GTI. Don't get excited :)

[VDUBNDizzy]

and how much money do you have in the golfcart?

So first you were talking shit about beating a car with a smaller motor when in actuallity, you lost. Then you want to talk about total money spent. What's the resale on one of your chop shop Volvo's? Do you get a lot of play because you drive an old tank? Or do you get mistaken for an over the hill wash up? Would you like to go to a road course or some mountain twisties where you and you Swedespeed would really get your ass handed to you by my "money pit"?

and we'll further alienate you from the conversation by tossing this one out.. he didnt *pay* anyone to do the mods to his car...

You're right, I don't pay to have work done on my car. I've done EVERYTHING to it other than soldering in the chip and having the DP rewelded after it broke. I would have rewelded that myself if I had access to a welder. Do you actually turn wrenches or are you an internet mechanic with pictures of half finished projects in your sig?


i was just messin around til ados chimmed in

Maybe you shouldn't mess around with people you don't know so well. You seemed like a funny guy at the track in person, guess you didn't know who I was then. Something tells me you won't forget me after this though. Or better yet, maybe you shouldn't talk shit about "waylaying" a car that actually beat you to the end of the track. :roll:

[xamraci]

not to be a dick face or anything...

But...kenny and Sams volvos are pretty capable ROAD track cars...probably a lot of that being what the driver is capable of...Kenny was just fucking with you...it takes knowing him...to understand

Hes a cool guy...just an ass hole 8)

No worries, you aren't the one being a dick. 8) But I wouldn't have said anything if my car wasn't pretty capable on road courses either. :wink: And that's the whole point, he doesn't know me and I don't know him, hence he shouldn't be fucking with me, especially considering he lost. :lol:

[ActiveAero]

Hey Kenny were you running pump gas? Just curious.

Your doing pretty good. You're only .01 seconds away from being faster than my naturally aspirated 1.8liter honda with just an air filter and header :wink: . Yeah you out trap me but my ET is better :P

Haha, its obvious you don't know him. Kenny and Sam do ALL of their own work including pioneering the old vovlo performance frontier. I would seriously venture to say that Kenny is one of the most knowledgeable mega-squirt people in the USA by a large margin. Its crazy how he figures all that stuff out.

Also, I'd be careful challenging them to a road race in the volvos......you'll probably be spanked pretty badly if Sam's driving :twisted:

[VDUBNDizzy]

Sam may be able to drive, but so can I. :wink:

[1.8t]

While driver is a very important factor.....I have heard Dizzy can throw his car through some twisties as well. Sam may have much more experience and be the better driver, but Dizzy's car is far better setup(I believe you have suspension?) and I am not so sure if Sams driving ability can make up the deficit of a good driver with a good setup vs. an awesome driver w/ a not so good setup(assuming we are talking the wagons here). Of course, I will more than happy to compete against anyone on the board at an autox. I ain't skerred :D

[VDUBNDizzy]

Yeah, I have some suspension mods. :wink: N GA mountains trained me well as well as few visits to Lil Talladega.

[1.8t]

I've been to LT as well....back in the days when I had my passat. Ran 4secs behind Sams IT RX-7's time with coilovers, RE750s, chip, exh., and FMIC. I am licking my chops at what I can do in my S2k w/ S02s and a perfectly balanced chassis/suspension. Can't wait. So far with autox, I have had the fastest street tires time in my class and the second fastest street tire time in my class(class is BS) in the 2 that I have competed in so far. I am sure to improve as I had only had the car 2 weeks for the first one and 1 month for the second one. I am a little more tuned in with how to be fast with it now, so I am looking for another autox to burn off the what is left of my rear tires. We should all caravan to a Birmingham or to the Subaru event they are having at the end of this month. My bro will be running and I plan to pwn some subarus as well. It is at the Gwinett County Fair Grounds in Atl. I know how to get there, we should all make a trip and burn some subies :D 8)

[linuxman51]

Sam may be able to drive, but so can I. :wink:

sorry bud, this i say without any afterthought... you've got nothing on sam.
friendly trash talk aside (from earlier), you dont. he does regular solo II stuff, karting, has an ITA rx-7 that they road race.

oh yea, he solo's the wagon. suspension is not stock on the wagon (not as flossin as the setup on my 87, but its getting there, and he definitly lays it down with authority). You can try, many have, they've all failed...

[AadosX]

If he's such a good driver then why did you pull a better time at the track? Or do you mean the other kind of driving. I'm not saying anything bad about Sam... I hear he's great I've just never seen it.. but I believe you either way, and I guess I don't really care much though lol.

[linuxman51]

Hey Kenny were you running pump gas? Just curious.

thats sam's wagon, not my car. bring the arrr out if/when it runs again and we'll play at the track. its always fun when you guys come up 8) we end up racing around over by the old eurasian :lol:

Me and Sam drove the same car at one auto-x. He got 4 runs and so did I.

I won. :P

Yes Sam is an awesome driver and one of the coolest guys around, but I put his skills at being a pure car control beast and being able to catch almost anything over actual timed runs. He runs sure as heck looked at lot cooler than mine and I probably couldn't have corrected some of the stuff he got the car into, but when it came down to actually getting the car around the track faster that's a whole other ball game.

The Volvo does good at auto-x for it's CLASS, so lets not forget that. In the overall picture it's not all that fast. Yes I've been there so I know.

Yeah that was fun. I think the R won't be seeing to much more drag racing. It needs to stick to the curvy stuff from now on. I have a little red hatch for the strait line stuff.

Okay, please. Why the arguing? It's not a "biggest dick" contest.

Of course, I will more than happy to compete against anyone on the board at an autox. I ain't skerred :D

ya'll dont EVEN want me to have to bring my galant out there now, do ya? i'll whoop EVERYONES ASS INCLUDING sam in a ferrari

[CPMaverick]

Sam has really good car control, but he drives a little too tail happy to be really fast in my opinion. I am not criticizing him, I'm the same way, maybe even worse at keeping the back end in line.

[1.8t]

Sam has told me before that he feels his natural gift is in car control more so than being fast(picking the line and all that jazz). Regardless, the only way any of us could ever deteremine the "fastest" driver would be for all of us to get the exact same car, have it for about a month to get used to everything, and then hit up an autox. That way the only variable is the driver. I vote we all use Sams shifter cart for the basis of this comparison :shock: 8) :D

[Obike]

I second this motion.

[Alex]

Badass times Jess!! Sorry I couldn't make it last week. Something rather important came up. I'm going this friday though, new exhaust will be on by then. :)
Kenny you asshole.

[Frosty_DUB]

Speaking of car control, this sunday at the atlanta autox, my badass driver friend Pedro drifted his 2.0 mk4 golf around every corner. He would snap the car and let off, and the back end would come WAY out! It was so much fun. He ended up running a 46.xxx while I ran a 51.xxx. I didnt expect to come close to his time, since he has been racing for 10 years and is sponsored by tirerack, plus had victoracers.

I got the GLI back end to swing out 5 inches accidently, one time at the race. :lol:

[Drew]

Lets not forget Sam's ingenious tuning vision of filling the engine with oil until it spills out of the valve cover for faster AutoX times :lol:

Sam: "Dude, I added 5 extra quarts of oil and knocked .2 seconds off my lap time!"

Me: "Yes but you also created a giant hole in the ozone layer above birmingham and managed to give every single track worker the black lung." :shock:

[Inspector]

LOL! amazing.

very true...but what about FAT FUCKS? Weight distrubution would be a major issue when considering very comparable driver skill. Hell, look at the touring cars you see on Speed Channel, those guys are adding 5 pounds here, 10 pounds there. Just think about a 250 pound 5'5" porker in the driver seat compared to say....myself at about 140 something, should we just cut some of the lard off of the poor guy, or add a few weights during my runs?

[1.8t]

Sam isn't fat at all....very skinny actually.

[AadosX]

That's not what he was saying... He was saying that your test would work, but even the humans driving can change the abilities/characteristics of the car.

[Zx RaTeD]

ugh! i was just tryin to be funny, I don't know how fat or skinny anyone is. I guess john cleared it up.
