BTW..he mentioned getting a FM downpipe and new exhaust to make it faster. Hop on.

I had plans to get the downpipe and exhaust ever since I first found them, I just didn't get them yet because I didn't see a need for them since I was content with the power I had for a while.

I believe those mods were in the works WAY before he took it to the track, and now that he has some timeslips he's anxious to see what kind of difference they'll make. I doubt you'll see him regularly at the strip.

I still can't believe that no one will leave this guy alone. Everyone is so damn critical of EVERYTHING he does.

If you get into the 13s, we're lining up <3

You'll still be running faster than me.

Nice job clean, I'm not a huge fan of your member journal or how you present yourself sometimes, but I've made myself look stupid so I don't care anymore. Your car is very clean, and well taken care of.

My advice for your car would be to stick with the easy stuff first, everything else will come in time as long as you are diligent and careful.

!!! 93 at the end of 4th? Your trans is so short- its probably a blast to drive around town. Is your car 5 or 6 speed?

I have heard that Atco is a "faster" track as well... but IMO Etown is so much nicer.

It's a 6-speed. I made the mistake of trying to hold it in 4th to finish the 1/4, when you really have to go for 5th. Gearing is short, 1st to 26, 2nd to 45, 3rd to 65, 4th to 85, 5th to 105 or so, 6th goes to 130 and then the car is out of gearing

. Some guys take out the 4.3 rear end and replace it with a 3.63 to get more top speed and have less shifting when autocrossing/drag racing, but it makes the car slower and I really don't compete in either sport to care enough.

E-town was nice, but I've never been to Atco so I can't compare the 2.

I doubt 1.9 are possible on street tires.

martang · 03-26-2009, 08:21 PM

I honestly expected a lot better lol

CarbonIS · 03-26-2009, 08:34 PM

alex a 1.9 has to be possible on street tires, are you hopping and spinning or bogging?
