Evo's most likely out as it probably won't be good for another 2 wks, minimum.
The DD might make the trip, I suppose. Got an NA no-spray 4-cyl bracket?

Long night of drinking beforehand (the 25th) consisting of a 300lb ice block and many gallons of long island. Otherwise it sounds like fun!

That sucks big time. Any thoughts on how a transmission can break in such a way? Did you ever figure out where that spacer went?

Spacer went to the trans mount. Everyone seems to concur that torquing it down w/o the spacer caused the problem. Repair ETA: 2 wks.

Clutch does not like new power. I have a new one on the way, hopefully should easily be good by the 26th!

Ive destroyed exedy tripple ceramics on one pull. Ive had great luck with the star spec clutches.

I had the Exedy stage 2 in there, drove like crap and only lasted a day with the new found power.
After much research went with the ACT HDG6, supposedly doesn't have the lockout issues the HDSS had and should hold the power fairly well for the time being. Went with the ACT flywheel as well. Kind of wanted a twin disc, but the funds just weren't there after just buying/installing all this stuff. But man, i LOVE this turbo. Even on just 24psi it's an absolute blast. |

Will look hard at the clutch when the trans comes off, too. I don't expect any problems, although it's been 20K. Exedy twin HD...

I have about 25K miles on my exedy and it still seemed to grab really hard and NEVER slipped no matter how much abuse I gave it....but i guess the red was just too much for it. |

From the sounds of it, at least when I spoke to SLobase, he was happy with the results. Which also makes me think twice about running against his ass when the time comes. As far as Kapoosh. I could hear in the distance the rate he was going through gears, and how angry the car sounded... Id say he picked up quite a bit of power.

Speaking for myself, I absolutely love it. The car's running the smoothest it's ever ran. The power definately feels like it's there, but only the track will tell the truth.
I did do some fun runs against a MR2 making 379rwhp on sound performances mustang dyno. I pulled maybe half a car from 30-130. But I figure he has a solid 6-800lbs on me and would easily make around 400whp on a dynojet.....Gives some confidence in the car! |

Plus my clutch is slipping so I didn't get more than a day or two's worth of fun. Granted i drove over 300 miles the first 2 days, definately addicting.

Just heard that the weather should be good this weekend!
I'm also going to get my first chance to go 10's this weekend! Josh can not drive his turbo Mustang due to a temporary medical issue and has asked me to race it. Driving a fat tired RWD car is a hand full, not to mention going that fast. Now I'll take on All you ballers.... Except Darryl!

Thanks for putting on another great day of racing.
It was good to get the Talon out and beat on it for the first time this year. Best was a 12.68 @ 107.51 at 21 psi on the street chip. Considering the heat and the race gas chip wasn't in, that's not too bad. Made it to the third round of the brackets (winning ugly) but I'll take it. The used Tial I put on really improved the boost stabilizing @ 21-20psi instead of the normal drop of 21 to 17 on the stock BOV. Wife had a blast running also, she made 5-6 runs with a best of 14.04. She was hoping for a 13 but she needs to learn to launch it, 2.6 60' is leaving a lot on the table. She finally started getting the rpms up on the last couple of passes and started leaving on the last amber itstead of after the green. Between me running the brackets and her test and tune, the car stayed in the lanes all day. Car never really cooled down and toward the end of the day the battery was taking a beating. It's barely had 13 volts at the end of the track. The injector duty cycles kept creeping up trying to feed it fuel as the pump voltage dropped. The car used 2 gallons of 110 in 11 passes. Dan, we'll get that race next time! -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

Thanks to everyone for coming out to the track today. The shear number of people showing up to race was shocking and appreciated. We ended up with just under 120 racers, which unfortunately meant the track had to bring in more personnel and bump the cost up considerably.
Even so, Josh and I really appreciated everyone making the trip so we used the extra money to increase the payouts on all three competitions to $125 for first place and $75 for runner up. We also increased the race time to 5pm so everyone could get in all their runs since the lines were a bit congested for the first couple of hours. There were more folks that took advantage of the competitions at no additional cost, but still not nearly as many as you would think. The winners seemed extremely happy with their winnings and everyone that I spoke with said they had a good time! I got to run Josh's gold nugget a couple times down the track. The best I could muster was a 11.07 at 124mph. The 60ft. weren't so great at 1.6s when they should have been 14-1.50's. The thing was just spinning out of the hole too much. I was so busy keeping things running I didn't even get the Talon tech'd or make a pass in it. Still, I had a great time and the weather was beautiful. Thanks to everyone that joined us! We will have to set-up pre-registration next year to make sure we keep the number of racers at a manageable level. We may also make some changes to add more value to the racers and spectators if we can continue to get this kind of turn-out. Marcus -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

Bad runs but great times! My son had a good time, too. It was good to see my neighbors in action, finally, on their drag bikes!
