Midnight drags

[Geovannie]

Sucked.

It was pretty empty. I got my ass handed to me like a million times since I suck at fwd.

Lost against WRX
turbo si
Jose

and I think that is it.

Won against

z28 LT1(got a good launch and just flew past him in third gear)
GSR(don't know what he had but it was brutal since I got a real good launch with him)
SE-R Vspec (brutal)
1g AWD(launch was alright but he bogged so it gave me time to pass him in third gear don't know what he had).

Every race that I lost last night I'm sure I could have beaten with no problem if it was from a roll(except Jose). Yeah yeah I know but once I get the hang of this fwd thing I can do better against them.

Overall my night sucked I got a few awesome launches and a bunch of horrible ones, car was running great last night besides that. After I followed Jose and got a few runs from a third gear roll with him. They where all kind of weird races but I think I did pretty freaking well. I did not win but it was decent considering Joses car is pretty freaking fast. I was not expecting to win but to see how I did.

Ah also I raced Carlos on friday from a second gear roll. My car pussied out though. I had not gone wot all day long since I had not touched the car from the last time I ran it(wednesday b4 that). Put in race gas and off I went. Well I guess it was a little colder or something because I was hitting fuel cut and breaking up on the top end. Could not rev past 6500(next day I found out it was the plugs like I suspected, guess they did not like 2 weeks of straight race gas :lol:). We will race friday. I think all the fuel cut issues are fixed so it should be good friday.

Anyway I think we only got one "clean" run and I think I hung in there pretty good, I never passed him but I stayed right by him but then in 4th we had to stop since we where aproaching traffic, we are racing friday again.

This is officially my longest post. Ever...........

My mistake, I thought it was in General and meant to move it to Racing Stories. Apologies if it was in the right place to begin with.

[Rob Harfman]

Sounds like a good time Geo! Also looks like there weren't that many cars there to get that many runs in. Too bad we couldn't get a timed night like that.

yea like that'd ever happen. well maybe if we get our own version of the serial sniper and he shoots all the ricers:D

[Geovannie]

Actually I'm sure the management realized that imports make that place lol. Since everybody was at HIN it was empty on saturday night. That place is usually packed on these type of nights and mostly are imports.

[99AllTurbo]

It was fun Geo but it sucked that most of our runs were not fair (cause of your damn exhaustless WWD :lol: ). Your car is definatley quick, especially for the minimal mods. Your FMIC was definitely helping as I noticed at the top of 3rd (you were inching up quickly) on that good run we got. I'm sure my smic got a little hot by that point, but both cars were strong that night, thanks. :)

BTW, what color was the WRX?

[Geovannie]

Carlos it was the burgandy wrx that you raced. I asked him to race just for fun and he said something like " if you hung in there with Carlos you would kill me, you know how bad Carlos killed me? " :lol:

As far as the exhaust, that is how I drive my car everyday now :p

[Red97Talon]

Hey Geo.... I figured you would have posted some info about the drags the other night.

All in all it was alot of fun. You could make as many runs as you wanted. It was very quite.

Geo pretty much raced everthing with wheels Sat. night.:D I raced the following cars....

The Ghetto 1G (Geo) ;)
The Burgandy WRX
Cobra (This guy was talkin crap)

The WRX I raced previously. I worked him pretty hard through all the gears.

The Cobra guy was definitely askin for it. He beat the WRX guy and 2 other 1G T/E/L's. So the guys set me up to race with him to knock him off his high horse. :rolleyes: He made another comment, something along the lines of "Oh Is this supposed to be another fast car!!"

We line up. Light goes green I let him leave first. :D The car launches hard, spin all 4 tires. End of first I am at his bumper, second I pass by him. He looked something like this ":eek: ". Third grear comes and goes, then fourth. Didn't see him till the end. Oh, I also gave him the flashers.:p

Later that night on the way home I ran with Geo on a undisclosed road from third gear.:angel: I'll tell you what those FWD 1G's are leathal from a roll. I was definitely impressed. Geo hung right there with me. No excuses from me. His car defintely has potential!!!

Oh BTW geo I was running 21psi.;)

Later guys

[Geovannie]

Thanks Jose ;)

Yeah I raced a whole bunch basically just trying to get the launches down to see if I can do good on wednesday, I had a couple really good ones and a bunch of horrible ones.

He's funny. He always wants to go from a stop, I'm like yeah right! But when I say lets go from a roll, he's like "uh, uh, I guess". :lol: Cool guy though.

All I know is I'm glad I threw in the 110 cause "bucktooth" was moving that night. :lol: (The) Jack was weighing me down though. :nerd:
I wanna see the vids.

Jose- good job setting that guy straight. I tried messing with a yellow Cobra convertable (94ish) after racing Geo, but it would've been a slaughter (it looked pretty stk looking). He didn't want any anyways. :spank:

[Geovannie]

:lol:

Yeah it is running better now. Running more boost with no fuel cut :)

I just have to find this weird boost leak I have, I can't get more than 10psi out of it when doing a leak test. I will work on it some more today.

[99AllTurbo]

More boost? Are you sure you're not running one of these "Chad" 14b's (14b/Red)? :lol:

[UndrPSI]

Well I would realy like to get in on some racing, but my babie decided she wanted to stay at teh beach for a little longer. I will post about my tiraid in another thread.

[Geovannie]

haha nope, I'm about to disconnect the wastegate signal on this thing and just run it like that :lol: I don't know I have heard many times that 14bs only like x ammount of boost and 16gs like x ammount of boost etc etc but I don't know. I have run up to 25psi falling to 22psi by the redline on this thing and it hauls ass lol. I would run more I dont know I'm already pushing it, I'm running hacked mas by me with only a 255pump, no afc, no fpr no nothing not to mention I'm running just a tad bit more base timing then stock:p Maybe I'm not going any faster, guess I will f ind out on wednesday.

[UndrPSI]

Geo, i use to set my avc-r to 27 psi on the 14b, yes the real, original 180k mile 14b. It would hit 27 then drop to 23-25 depening on the weather. I miss that turbo. I use to get maybe 2100 hz on the 14b at 23 psi on the red I am getting 2500hz at 20 psi, well before the side hc's came out. Dont dismiss the 14b! They rawk! Beat a few 16g's, super 16gs, and 16g killers with thta little'ole 14b!

[Geovannie]

;)

[Gator VR4]

I would run 28 lbs on my 14b on 100 octane with a 2G MAS. Would get to about 2200hz with all the HC's in. But, this was alos with a 40mm TIAL.

[Shaun97TSi]

jose, was this the guy with a supercharger?(cobra)
if so thanks bro
he he

[Red97Talon]

I'm not sure what he had. He never let me look under the hood. In the end it really didn't matter anyhow.:devil:

[BlueShark]

It definately sounds like you guys had fun.
Hope to run into you down at the track soon, Jose.

I might be the 1g awd you won against, I remember someone flying by me in third. No serious performance mods yet, just clutch/flywheel, shifter, exhaust, mbc at 14psi, suspension. I've never run at the track before and need to practice my launches more. I'll probably be there again friday for a couple runs.
