word. we need more people to roll.....haha

 

I know seriously, especially on a day like today (although I'm not really one to talk since I havent made it to ONE meet yet )

 

neither have I but i have an excuse. I work on days there are meets

 

Just got back from the strip and I have to say that Nates retune not only showed higher numbers on the dyno but proved to be even faster at the track!

My best run of the nightwas my 4th run around 7pm.

60 ft: 1.908 (finally broke the 2 second barrier!)
E.T. 13.729
MPH: 99.009

Along with that I had 2 13.8 runs, both with a 2.0 sec 60 foot. Overall I am really happy with the way the cars pulls at the track. I also compared the runs tonight with some before the retune and 2 are very similar. The 60 foot times are virtually the same as well as the trap speed but tonights run was faster by almost 2 tenths. I'd say that is more of result of a stronger engine than driving discrepencies (thanks again Nate!)

Towards the end of the night during the bracket racing Topnotch and I lucked out and were pitted together. Unfortunately Topnotch blew his start, bogged and misshifted I think, so we didnt have a good race at all. Way to go man!


There were tons of Subarus out tonight. Lets see, a sonic yellow WRX running VF34, hyperflow TMIC, TBE, hoses and cobb stage 2.5 (may have talked him into selling the AP for a S-S retune). He ran a 13.6 with a 2.0 60 foot bogged start. There were 4-5 STi's running, one guy had a Perrin FMIC with the stock turbo and no E.M and was running 14.0's And this next guy was sort of our entertainment for the night. This guy ahd an 05 STi stock with an Apex'i AVC-R. One run he had the thing set at 60% duty cycle and 1.8 bar! He couldnt figure out why his CEL was on and why he was running 14's! Ross and I both ran to the rescue and turned his boost way down the best we could, not knowing the AVC-R system. Basically this guy had more $ than brains. Oh well theres always someone like that right.

All in all it was a good night, probably my last time running for a while, although I will come out and hang out and watch you guys from time to time.

Oh, and the honorable mention gos to BlackVenom96 for showing up to watch us, how did your buddy's cobra do with the drag radials?

Ross, how was the car on the way home man?

 

I am sorry but that guy with the AVC-R is an idiot. Him and his friends/brothers came over to me and started asking me like what I have done and stuff. Then they tell me that one of them has an 05 STi with the boost controller. Immediately I tell him that it won't help him but hurt him without EM. They looked at me like I was stupid and said that the car felt a little stronger with 1.3 BAR. I was like ok, don't take my word for it, but I strongly suggest that you don't run it at all. Then they keep giving me the "I'm stupid" look and walk away. Finally I see the guy ready to run and ask him what exactly does he have NEUSPEED on his car since NEUSPEED doesn't make anything for Subarus. He was like and I quote, "I don't know about the NEUSPEED, but I'm pretty sure the other stickers I have on the car have the parts that back them up, except for maybe the HKS, I'm not sure about that one". I was like, ok buddy, have fun.

Back to topic, my night didn't go as planned but better than before. As Killian said, we were matched up together on my last run and I totally blew it. Red light, no launch, total bog, and I think I hit rev limit in first. Meh, I guess the excitement got to me. Next time it will be different. As for my runs, here they are in order:


Reaction---------- 0.108 0.119 0.027 -0.091
I1 (60ft)----------2.000 2.164 2.047 2.408
I2------------------NA NA 5.918 6.424
I3------------------9.035 9.331 9.126 9.647
MPH (I3)----------77.863 76.554 77.057 76.710
I4------------------11.727 12.056 11.854 12.379
E.T----------------14.041 14.385 14.187 14.719
MPH---------------96.936 93.573 98.931 96.377

I had fun though, time for more mods. MUHAHAHAHAHAAH, BAHAHAHAHAHA

 

My car feel fine except it didn't smell the best. I just talked to aaron at ss and I'm gonna plan on doing some baseline dyno runs and see how its running. Jason-you finnaly did it...1.9 fool

 

Haha finally is right! On that run I initially thought I was going to bog but I quickly mashed the gas and kept the clutch where it was andthen let it slip, then wham I was thrown back more than I ever have been in my car before, it was sweet. The cool thing about that run was there was Boris next to me in his STi and he jumped ahead of me with a 1.8 60 foot but he never gained any ground after that. We were about 2 car lengths apart all the way down the track. I knew at the end of the run that i had a good time, he ran his best 13.5 as well al though I did eliminate him in the brackets, sorry Boris

 

also, somebody tried to steal my carbon hood while the car was cooling off. i left it open and walked away thinking people would have respect, but no, i come back and one of the lower bolts was loose all the way. i guess they didnt have enough time.

 

isr96: bro you gotta work on that shifting man, your times will come way down when you start bangin the gears! keep practicing and things will get better!

killian: he was just runnin 13.3@105 but he couldnt cut anything better than a 2.1 60ft. with some practice he'll have his 60's back in the 1.8's where he was in his GT with these tires. me and him are a really good race from a roll with me barely edging him out(from 45-110 i pulled him almost a full car), and he is thinking he might want me from a dig now.

i wanna get back out there and get my 12 with my current set-up, but this tune is really fluffy and im saving for my FMIC. 12's are very reachable the way the car sits, but...... i dont know.

 

Arg, that's BS. Sorry, man.

Glad to hear you and Jason are happy with the tunes, though.

 

That was U.............S***.
All i needed was 30 more seconds.


Thats not good, i always leave my doors open and stuff layin around out there

 

shifting wasnt my problem tonite. Getting good launches were. Also my car was resiting in first gear for some odd reason and when i shifted into second and layed on the gas, it just sat at 6k rpms for a while. That was when i shifted again to third and just rolled to a stop and pulled at 17.9@ 57mph....lol

 

i feel uncomftorable leaving my hood open at times too but it's the only way i can let it cool down. I would think it be hard to steal a hood? lol. Also why did you think my hood was fading? I think it looks perfectly fine with no signs of fading. What kind do you have?

 

lame, form what i could hear though, you gotta drive it like you stole it, those 6 speeds are tough and under warrantee, beat the crap out of it!

 

oh. i did shift slow. I told you it was acting funny so i just didn't push it. The only time i pushed it was my first run because thats the only one that went smooth.
