Warren Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I just jumped up 43 places in the Timeslip Database, from 106 to 63... I FINALLY got to run it at the track for something other than a photo opportunity. The car is still basically untuned and still has ALOT more in it. Once I get some more seat time and learn to drive the darn thing, as well as do some REAL tuning, I hope to move up a few more spots. Car #25 (right lane). Only my 2nd time EVER on ANY track. I'll get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Not to bad. How much boost? Im hoping to get into the 12's the next time im at the track thanks to a much bigger turbo than at dni and much wider tires. might actually be able to get the power to the ground this time lol. Good job warren. So we gonna have a grudge match at this fall DNI?? Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Thanks, and sorry about that, it was about 10 PSI of boost. Still haven't tuned for any more than that. Kinda dummied up and forgot to hit the record button on the LM1 during that run...I only made two runs...that is the 2nd one (the better of the two) Kinda wierd...I trailered the car 5 hours, 2.5 each way, and made 2 passes totalling less than 27 seconds. Not alot of return on $120 worth of gas, but it was fun nonetheless. Looking forward to next time (possibly the 7/11 weekend). Once it's tuned better and I get more seat time, learn to drive it, when to shift it, etc, I expect to see the 12's. As for the grudge match in October, sure, why not, it's all in fun, and fun it is. I'm hooked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Congrats Warren, you are knocking on some serious ETs! Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 F'ing AWESOME and about damn time!!!!!!!!! At 10psi, you dont even have the turbo's attention yet. 15psi, a better tune and get that 60' down to 1.80 and I predict you move up to about #40. Definitely get some data off the LMI and tune to your target AFR. How did the tranny perform? Did those butterflies feel like eagles in your gut? How loud did you scream when you crossed the finish line and the engine was still running and nothing was going "clunk, clunk"? :D CONGRATS!

Warren Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Yasin, Evan & Gabe, THANKS!!! Scottie, I was nervous as a dog crapping bricks at first, but after the car sat perfectly still doing the burnout on the line lock, no side to side at all, and when the smoke cleared, the tranny performed flawlessly, rev chirp, rev chrip, rev chirp, finish line, rev chirp (just for kicks), BRAKES!... Those butterflies are why the record button didn't get pressed on the 2nd pass. Didn't want to scream with the helmet on, kept my composure and picked up the timeslip. Went directly to the souvenier shack & picked up my Operation Street Legal 100mph club decal...(OK, so I'm a sucker for stickers). BTW, an extension tube attached to the top vent on the tranny, going to a catch can mounted behind the tranny on the frame rail solved the dripping problem. It only puked out about a tablespoon of fluid into the catch can. It's still overfilled a tad, but I already knew that...thanks to the aftermarket dipstick being marked wrong. So that solved the dilema of leaving little red spots of fluid all over the garage floor (and the street/track). Once it stops puking, I'm going to re-mark the dipstick so I know where true FULL is. Everything is dry now...THANK GOD! All in all, a great day at the track, even with only 2 passes made. At least now I know the "home built" transmission can take a beating and the "home built" adapter works without damaging anything. I've now got 185 miles on the car's new odometer and feel pretty confident that everything will hold together (said with fingers crossed).

hughdogz Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Nice Job Warren!! I can't believe how far you've taken your S130. It doesn't seem that long ago when you first bought it. Someday I'll move out of the #106 place in the timeslips database (hopefully up, hehe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Nice job man! I have the bug too now! I just made my first trip to the track 2 weeks ago too! I can't get the timeslip database to load my slip though? It just goes to a blank screen when I click on the "load my data" link? How did you do yours?

Warren Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 Go to the User Control Panel (User CP at top of screen), edit your profile. I hosted the picture elsewhere since it would only put a URL link instead of an IMG link if I hosted it here on HybridZ. It'll add the info to the database for ya. Oh, and I guess your 12.8 will push me down to #64...oh well, I don't plan on being there long either...hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
