ive been gettin a fuel cut in like 4th and 5th gear at high rpms and it sucks. shot out black smoke out back......think i need a new fuel pump but unfortunately they arent cheap for my car. |

I wouldn't be beating on it high rpm 4th/5th if i were you until you have the downpipe, fuel pump, run 93oct and have a good tune on it.
You don't have a wideband rite?

so today my friends dad stoppped him, jim bethman. he owns bethman auto in newtown.....he recently just got his cobra back that is a complete gutted race car that makes over 800whp. he invited me to all his events and told me he wants to see me on a track. he goes to millville and all that **** so im pretty excited. im gonna get more into the tuning aspects of my car and suspension as i want it to be the best it will be.
just put the 225/40s on, minimal rubbing. plans. 1) downpipe and allignment with in next week. 2) tune 3) bucket seat with railings. 4) whatever other parts i need to be set for the track. im lucky to have a 1996 or something nissan altima with under 30k miles and no rust (florida car) that ill be whipping around in. this build is gonna get juicy |

ok, so i just ordered a corbeau forza bucket seat. i didnt feel like spending 800 for a bride, and 300 for a fake one, this will do the job.
update: parts on way-- motor mount, turbo inlet, downpipe, and seat. also got 2 new goodyear eagle f1s up front. need to order--sway bars. car will have its allignment next week as i am sending it to psiproformence. then i will be ordering 4 meety tires for millville june 16th-17th. yes i will be tracking the car with my dad and his buddies. should be interesting |

Make sure your tune is spot on before racing it hard, i'd look into a fmic if your going to be racing it as well. I'd imagine the stocker heat soakes quickly.
Why dont you start with some local autoX's? There was a white speed3 tearing up the course yesterday that sounded awesome.

There is a AutoX at the Citizens bank park lot on June 19th. That gives you a lot of time to get the car ready, read over some rules & techniques, and make it out if you really wanted to start doing it. There is also a school setup event for the 25-26th weekend in the Warminster area that i dont have all the info to but would probably be beneficial to start getting seat time and information.
Here is their website, http://www.phillyscca.com/index.html Search around and learn a few things and then when your ready join the forums but just remember their not kids on there so be respectful and try to learn before speaking. Good luck man
