i can only make it out to the track on fridays. staying out that late in the middle of the week is out of the question for me. i have to be at work at 7 in the morning mon-fri, and by the time i got home from the track it would be nearly midnight. you should be in the 12s for sure. i am hoping to be in the 12s with my current setup but i don't know if that is possible with how hot and humid it is.
Well, my car made that pop sound from the rear again, first time in a couple weeks. I need to check the back and see if I can find what the hell is doing it. I thought I found it but I was wrong. I may end up pulling the entire rear suspension out today and putting it back in to see if that solves it. It didnt do it until I changed out struts so I figure thats the most likely cause.
only two more days fellas and hopefully i will be in the 12s. weather looks like it should be pretty nice. hopefully the track temps aren't to bad. i know the track temps are usually about 15*+ hotter than actual outside temp. hopefully my new IC will combat all of the heat. seems to be working very well from what i can tell. when i first put my stg2 injectors on, my a/fs were the same as with the stock 05s, but when i put my new IC on and kept the boost the same, my a/fs were off the chart. the gauge would read 10.0 and stay there all the way to redline, so i upped the boost to 23 and now i am sitting at 11.3 so i should have a little wiggle room to play with.
Im not sure I will make it. Im going to meet up with Nacho prob saturday to get my car tuned. I started a new job this week and just havent got around to doing much. I might come out and watch though...
I got the water pump installed today but that was it, looked like it was going to rain so I stopped working on the car. Going to take it out for a spin tomorrow and see if the pump fixed my over heating issue, if it doesnt then rip everything apart again and replace the head gasket. Turbo still isnt here, dont know if it has shipped yet or not, will find out tomorrow.
As for going to the track, I dont have the cash right now. Most likely will be several weeks before I can go.
I hope so, I was supposed to have it by Wednesday of last week. I just hope I dont have any install problems heh. I am about tapped out on cash right now. I still need to do an oil change heh.
