Alright, my mods are in and I'm ready to see if I can break my transmission after having them for less than a week (god I hope I don't, I'll be easy on the car).

So lets go out there and have some fun.

I usually try to get there by 4:30 for to pay, sign up and tech. Plus this ensures you get the maximum runs and don't get stuck in the back of the line. We can all try to meet up at the gates at 4 - 4:30pm.

I'll probably only stay till 6:30 or so, or whenever the bracket racing begins.

Info.

Rules:


* All drivers must have a valid state driver's license.

* All vehicles must pass a basic NHRA ET Bracket safety inspection. For a full listing of requirements, consult an NHRA Rulebook.

* A single co-driver is permitted in vehicles running slower than 14.00 seconds. *

* Co-drivers must be at least 16 years old and must sit in the front seat.

* All drivers and co-drivers must wear long pants and shirts with sleeves (no tank tops).

* SFI approved helmets are required for all vehicles running quicker than 14.00 seconds.

* Racers running and NHRA ET number and winning 3 or more times (not including motorcycles) must run Street Pro.

I'm already borrowing Scotts helmet, so make sure you have one if you're running faster than 14s flat.

Directions:


Get yourself to Bradshaw Rd (it's off Hwy 50 just after Watt if you're heading east).
If you exit from the eastbound side of 50, turn right on to Bradshaw. If you exit from the westbound side of 50 turn left on to Bradshaw (going over the freeway).
Take Bradshaw to Jackson Hwy (also Hwy 16) and turn left on to Jackson Hwy.
Follow Jackson Hwy to Excelsior Rd. and turn left on to Excelsior.
The track is on Excelsior on your right. You can't miss it. If you do miss it, go get your eyes checked, you're probably blind.


Don't speed on Excelsior. Cops know Wednesday is fun drag night and are regularly out there. Additionally, it pisses off the people who live on Excelsior as well as track officials. No jack assery. Make sure you get your bathroom breaks taken care of before you get to the track - they have porta potties there but there aren't too many so there may be a line. Bring some water and a snack if you want and don't forget some warm clothing like a sweatshirt in case it's cold that night.

Admission:

$15 to race
$6 to watch

Should be fun. Post up if you're coming!

I might come to see your runs with the new setup ;)

I'll be there. :)

No new mods since the last time. It's my day off this week so I can get to Sac Raceway early.

ill be there testing out my new mods. but i only get off work at 5 so ill probably be there at 5:30-45.

Well i am tring to figure out why i am getting low times so i will be out there this wensday to test some changes i made so i will see you all out there!

P.S if someone would look over my time slips and could help me learn how to read them that would be great!

I still have no idea why dragging an STi excites anybody? Or dragging anything for that matter.

Mine could run 8's and I would still be bored as hell, just 2 seconds less bored than if it run 10's.

Whatever floats your boat I guess?

Just my opinion.

That's funny.

Whatever floats your boat I guess?

Just my opinion.
Whenever I read words like those (and I have on more than one occasion), I think how pathetic and judgmental a person must be to try to pass off condescending smacktalk for 'just my opinion'.

We don't care that there are folks that don't 'get' drag racing. They don't have to like it or understand it or give their approval. I never feel the need to make excuses for doing it. There are also people on this board that never put a tire on a road course and have no plans to do anything other than straightline. That's their choice, too. Then there are those who aren't 'into' rallying or even watching it on Speed Channel. Many of us in SRIC partake in both road course track days and Wednesday night drags on occasion. We are also avid watchers of the WRC and some members do rally.

Our cars are capable of doing so many things well, if properly driven. Combine that with everyday practicality in the wet or snowy conditions and you have a vehicle that really can be fun to drive in so many different venues and situations. :)

When you see posts like the one quoted, just ignore the trolls. ;)

ill show u if i go.... unfortunatly i wont be running my car so youll have a hard time fidning me. hehehe.

I went by and saw Nate today and he looked at my broken front sway bar. I was then told that it would NOT be a good idea to head out to the drag strip this Wen. so sorry but I now cant come.

Beleve me I am pissed about the whole thing and my roommate is going to kill me over it. He took time of work just to go with me. Anyways I will try to catch some of you next week if I can.

You haven't been sent a replacement for it yet? That's a Helix bar isn't it?

If you really want to, you can just remove the bar completely and still go to the strip. Just take all the turns on the way there and back nice and easy. No sharp steering inputs whatsoever.

Also, stickied and edited the thread title. No reason to keep making a new meet thread for the same event every week for the next 7 months.

I'll be there tonight. I'm bringing a helmet just in case someone needs one. I surely don't.

I will not be there tonight.

yeah, ill be there for, i dont know wether ill be able to park inside yet or not though, looks like i most likely will. ide loan my helmet out, but my friend is gonna use it. hes got the fast redfire 03 cobra. his GF has the loud blue 04 mach 1.

I'm not going to make it tonight. I ended up having to come in to work at 6am and had a ****ty day from there on out. I'm not feeling well and I'm ****ing beat, so I'm going home. Maybe next week.

mind explaing? shes a really good friend of mine.

Presuming it's her, she's also a dip**** street racer.

I'm scared to tell you. She might street race me to death. :(

They're just screwing around. I've ended up next to her at a stoplight a few times on Sunrise, and one of those times she took off spinning tires; the next thing I saw was a cop pulling out (and I assume pulling her over ;))

It was just funny becuase all of us have seen the car screaming around on Sunrise, it was that she was trying to prove a point to my 165hp of fury ;)

hahahaha, yup thats her. ude think after countless tickets, including 2 speed contest tickets, thousands of dollars in fines, her car being impounded, and spending 30 days in jail that she'd learn her lesson...... but nope. her insurance is like 600 a month. i learned my lesson through her, LOL.

You know, and this is just a thought. Why doesn't she try to save some money and stop street racing? I mean she could save some cash and work less by not getting those speeding tickets.

Like I said, it's just a thought...

That would be like you not modding your car to save some money.

Joel is friend of mine as well.

Neato.

But when you mod your car, you put money into something you'll see.

No sonicsuby. :( Neither Lance nor myself had a chance to see your post before we headed out to the drags. Some of our fellow members turned some very decent times tonight. Sorry, I don't remember your names or screennames. Lots of WRXx and STis out tonight.

My two runs were slower than I'd expected. The starting line was smooth and rut free, unlike the last time I ran my car. I probably should've let the clutch out more aggressively but I'm okay with consistent 14.2 times. My 60-ft clockings were 2.18 and 2.04 so I've had better days. ;)

The main thing I wanted to see was that my CEL has not yet come back on after looking at that damned lamp for the past five months. I did the EGT sensor CEL fix (resistor mod) for the uppipe on Sunday and reset the ECU this afternoon after the CEL did not go out on its own.

The strangest looking car was some sort of '70s era Toyota hatchback coupe that with a completely gutted interior and a hole in the hood to sprout a big carburetor with an old school velocity stack and some weird 2" diameter welded bent tubing that looked like it could be part of a home-brewed intake manifold. He dialed in later at 15.1 I'd say it needs more work. :p

I apologize, Alan. Work has been brutal over the past week - early days, late nights, hard work.

I think I'm busy next Wednesday, so maybe the following I can make it out.

Just got back from the track tonight. I was wondering what happened to you Sonicsuby.There was another sonic yellow wrx that was there. Larry and I raced our cars. I hit 14.7 with 2.1 60 ft. Probably 12 subies representin. You know how we roll deep.

No need to apologize - we missed you, is all. ;)

Yeah, we can try to go while the weather is still cool. I'm not a big fan of those evenings where the temps are in the 70s and 80s even after the sun goes down.

i was reppin the subues by being parked!!!

Anyone make it to the track last night?

I think it was closed last night speed racer.

so is anybody going to the track this upc coming wednesday?

im hoping to make it before something else goes wrong with the car.

I'd like to go this Wednesday. We'll see how the week shapes up. Right now things are looking good for the coming week, but who knows what will become a priority on Monday :|

WOOOHOOO...its SUNDAY/MONDAY!.....anyone care to join me this wednesday at the tracks? All my friends either have work or school and cant make it =\ so i might have to go solo...Well ima be out there this wednesday in a Blue Sti, dont hesitate to say hi. i wont bite. =D

I want to go. We'll see if I make it.

im there, hoping to break 13's or my drivetrain.

ill be there, but as usual i wont be racing. if i get my helmet back from my friend, it will be available for borrowing.

i want to see sonic run. you have much experiance at the track dude? what times (including 60ft) are you gonna be shootin for?

I'm always so worried about blowing up my transmission that I usually go pretty easy on the launch. My best run ever with COBB stg 1 was 14.1 @ 97 with a 2.4 60ft (man that was a good night - foggy + cold = happy turbo). My typical run was 14.4 @ 97 with a 2.1 60ft. My reaction times generally rock - usually .100 or so.

I guess the next time I hit the track I'll be looking for a 60ft in the 1.9 - 2.1 range (I'm gonna be easy on the transmission to avoid certain death from my wonderful fiance if I blow it up) and I'm hoping to run a REAL low 13 with that 60ft time. If I don't totally botch it, I might even be capable of a high 12, but I really don't know. I'll just have to see what happens.

weather report estimate it be around 41 degress tomorrow night...... schweet!

I'll be on my way back from UCKK tomorrow, so I'll probably make it to the track. :)

Hey what time does this all go down? I might give it a shot.

I'll be on my way back from UCKK tomorrow, so I'll probably make it to the track. :)

Wow, that's a drive. What time are you taking off?

Hey what time does this all go down? I might give it a shot.
I usually try to get there at 4:30.

ill be there at 5:30, i wish i can be there when it opens but i only get off work at 5.

Ill be there tommorow, a buddy of mine is running his grey jetta GLI, its pretty fast for a jetta. he has catback, downpipe, its chipped (peaks at 25psi). Ill be there around 4:30 hopefully it doesnt rain.

I'm gonna see if I could make it, I want at least one run before the newmotor goes in.

Wow, that's a drive. What time are you taking off?

I'll be leaving Hayward early, and stopping in Vacaville and/or at the shop before heading out.

so who is going for sure??

I'm going to do my best - I'm calling 80% right now :D

I'm going to try too.

I plan on making it out tomorrow, I might even make a few runs myself?

I saw in the rules that if your run under 14 you are required to wear a helmet. I have no idea what I will run (the car should be able to break 14 but I dont know about me :))Do the referees or whatever look at your mods or wait until after a pass to see what you can do?

they look under my hood last time, but i didn't think they know what they were looking for and just let me go. if you need a helmet they have loaners there but i don't know how much. i'm going down for sure w/ a coulple of my friends so i probably see you there.

Cool, are you still running the VF30 setup like when I drove it?

Cool, are you still running the VF30 setup like when I drove it?

yup, i'm trying to see if can i get a lower time on my 60ft.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/0nc0M/dr7flowcopy.jpg

when you get teched, they pop your hood to look for things out of the ordinary IE: nitrous solinoids, etc. if you get caught running a sub 14 second time without a helmet you will get a warning or get kicked out depending on how far under you are, you cannot dial in under a 14.00 if you dont have a helmet once the bracket racing begins.

i will be out there watching for sure and im gonna take my camera as well so ill make a vid of all the subys i can get on film and ill post it up here as soon as i edit it.

i might make a pass or 2 in my car. ill be shooting for a 12.80@106 with a 1.7 60ft time. if you see me run, expect a 1-2 second reaction time, i dont go by the lights, i go when im ready. im gonna launch the piss out of it like im trying to break it, should be interesting.

sonic: get your balls out of your finaces death grip and launch it like a man! JK, LOL.

so now i just need to get my helmet back from my friend so i can use it and my other friend can use it.

The real issue is that I have a bunch of money I have to spend on our wedding, so if something happened that made it so we couldn't fund the wedding, or we were left with zero savings, I'd be in trouble ;)

hah, I know we could. We thought about that but we decided that if we were going to have a wedding we wanted to do a fun wedding with family in a real nice place. We're both really excited about the place we've picked for our wedding and it should be fun. She's really getting in to the planning and the colors and all that ;).

I can understand that, thats good that shes getting into the planning becuase thats less for you to do.

back on track here (hijackers ;))
For the time trials portion (non racing) does the track require you to have your spare, jack etc? If you wanted could you remove your seats and whatever else you deem as uneeded weight for dragging?

You can take out whatever you want. The hard part is finding a place to keep all your stuff where it won't get jacked while you're running ;)

So then you take it out after they inspect your car? If I were to take out anything I would do it before I went to the track.

You can take it out whenever you want. As long as your car is safe it's cool.

Thanks for the info Sonic, see ya there

Yeah I wouldn't worry about it. I've always left my stuff in the car because it is usually in there, which means the car performs at the track as it would on the street ;)

sorry to say that i wont be coming out tonight, AGAIN!!!!!! :(
well theres always next week. hope you guys have fun and break a tranny.

so sonicsuby, will you be inviting your fellow wrxers to your wedding? :D

double post, theres like 700 people viewing the forum. server overload.

so sonicsuby, will you be inviting your fellow wrxers to your wedding? :D

I'll be inviting a few people from the forums, however, I have a limited number of slots open, so I can't invite as many people as I'd like.

We'll probably have a party with everyone following the wedding ;)

yeah i was just messing with ya. on my sisters wedding, we had to have security around the reception building and we had them checking people for invitations. this was the grand ball room in downtown. needless to say alot of people were unhappy. although the after party was crazy.

So who all is coming out tonight? I'm leaving in 40 minutes. (maybe 30).

Ok I'm gonna scarf some food and come out with a friend.

Alright, I'm leaving now. I'll head over there. See you guys this evening.

im out the door right now, see ya guys there.

That was fun. I left after my second run though. Still got a 15.9:(

Couldnt put together a boost controller in time:( So I did'nt make it.

i didnt end up running my car. next week though for sure =)

I ran a 13.8 @ 99. It sucks that there were so many people there tonight - it took me 3 runs to figure out how to launch the damn car. I think with another run or two I would have gotten even better.

That was rad guys. I didnt run my car but I filmed every single suby there. I'm putting together a little video right now. For anyone that doesnt want their video published let me know (although I cant make out any of the license plates)

I saw the 13.8 sonic, nice

Hey Rivers I saw you run a 13.8 too, nice work.

There were some wrb STis running mid 13's and one ran a 13 flat. There was a PSM bugeye that ran a 13.2.

How about that new Viper out there? That thing couldnt get any grip whatsoever.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/0nc0M/dr7flowcopy.jpg

I couldn't drive stick on my 2nd and 3rd runs either. :( I managed a 17.4 in my car! w00t!

Please tell me you got the 00 brp rs with the stock rims.

Was that the one with the dents on the passenger side?

Did that one make a run or two along side a WRX or STi?

my best for the night was a 13.53@101 with a 2.08 60ft. my best trap was a 102.6. i couldnt get a good launch to save my life, bogging OWNS me! the guy i bought my car from is the guy with the WRB STi that put down a 13.0 twice, i belive he was the fastest suby of the night. im pretty confident that 12's are just a good launch away, hes gonna give me a little lesson the next time i see him. he was cuttin 1.8's so i know i can learn a lot from him. i mean i can get good launches on the street but i had too much traction at the track. oh well i had a fun night, great to see you guys!

nvm.

Sweet, man. Looking forward to the vid. I was dissapointed I didn't get to meet you though.

Oh, I brought in my timeslip. Anybody wanna give me some good pointers for next time?

On this run, I revved to about 5k, then released the clutch, slipping it when the light went green, and about 2/3 of the way out I just let it go. I think I erased about 5,000 miles from my clutch with that launch. It slipped for a second or so, then caught and I was off. I'm not sure if my clutch is worn to the point that it can't handle that kind of load (40k on the odo) or if I just heated it way up while launching and it couldn't grip due to being so hot.

This run was during eliminations. I went up against an MX-6, and I didn't realize until this morning that the track screwed up my dial in. I had 13.5 on my window, and they put down 13.3. Had they gotten it right, I would have beaten the MX-6. Just as well anyway, I was gonna go home after that run. Even with my screwed up dial in, I still was even with him at the end of the track. He ran a 16.8@82 (had like a 3 second head start on me :rotfl: ).

Anyway:

Reaction: .644 (remember Sac Raceway starts R/T at .000 now)

Yeah, me too, I was looking forward to meeting all of you guys but I didnt get to the track untill like 15 after 5 and immidiately went trackside to get the footage.

Still trying to condense the clips, I have it down to 75megs but my server is still rejecting it.

I have a grip of bandwidth and could host if you like. I'd probably want to take it down after 3 or 4 days. My hosting doesn't support .htaccess files :(

edit: I just checked - under one of my hosting accounts I've used 63.6mb of 101gig and my usage resets on 4/3. I'll host the **** out of that file :D

sonic, were you shifting into fourth? also are you good at rowin throught the gears? i dont know why i would trap 2 mhp higher and get over 3 tenths lower when we had almost identicle 60fts. i need to dyno at S-S so we can closer compare our cars.

I was shifting in to fourth right near the end. On that last run my shifting was awesome. I just need to get my 60 foot time down for some better ET.

last night was a good night, a lot of subaru's there. weird thing was on my last run they'd dialed me in at 16.3 when i clearly had 14.0 on my windows

here are my times

Had a lot of fun I beat my friends evo in the first run but then ended beating me in the last run.

Jason where were you? saw your car, but didn't see you. hope to see the video post it up.

still early but anyone going next wednesday? I think i will go to watch.

Was that the one with the dents on the passenger side?

Did that one make a run or two along side a WRX or STi?
Hahaha yeah the one with the dents, but no I didn't go against another subie. I went against a mustang. :(

I own! I pulled off a 17.4 after smoking the clutch in first and second. :D

Nice guys! I smelled subaru clutch more than a few times that night :lol:

So whos going this week?

i think i am going to go watch. Look for a white sti with cf hood in the parking dirt. lol

We should all wear a red rose in our shirt pockets to signify, "I'm an i-cluber." LOL

I'll be setup somewhere that has good view of the whole strip and timing boards with a camera in hand, probably a black fleece jacket on too.

i was the wagon with the cf hood. and that silver sti ran a best of 12.6 at 107 or 108, i forget. he wasnt using race gas. he told me he had intake and exhaust. his screen name here is silversti or something of that sort. i didnt see how much the blue sti ran, did you?

my car was running really weird tonight. i only got two runs. first was a 14.4 at 95.
before my first run, the car would idle at 1k. it seemed to have gone back to the original idle. now the really weird thing is that i hit that 14.1 with 10 pounds of boost. i was keeping my eye on the bost gauge and it went up to 10 and wouldnt go any further. the 2nd really weird thing is that on the way home, the car would get full spool like regular at 3k, but then would hold 14.5psi all the way to redline. i did a couple highway pulls and it would hold it. then when i got off the highway it went back to 14.5psi and tapering off to 10-11 near redline. i need to get EM asap. after my 14.1 run, i stopped in fear of something being wrong with the car.

What mods do you have?

On a side not, I was out there tonight too. I met Mike, hes got the GC8 2.5rs with the dents on the side (sorry mike :D) I didnt make it untill around 6:45 but I went ahead and filmed a few passes, i got the Silver STi running the 12's, Mikes rs, a blue STi, a san remo red 04, and yours topnotch.

I should have the vid posted pretty soon.

sweet, now i can see what everybody else sees. my mods are uppipe/TBE, port & polished heads, 5 angle valve job, 1mm oversized valves.

and there were two GC8's. a blue one and a black one. my last run i ran the black one. didnt talk to any of them though.

just a couple more minutes and it will be up

hmmmm. check back tomorrow morning for the vid, upload is going pretty slow (server?), sorry.

I saw you make your first run of 14.4

Where were you watching from and what time did you leave?

I was watching at the bottom of the stands at the front where everyone stands. I was also walking around the pits to check out all the wrx. I am an asian kid about 5'6" with a white button up collar shirt long sleeves. Also, if anyone saw a white sti with a cf hood in the dirt, that was mine. As i was leaving, some *****es decided to park completely around me and i could not get out.

and another note.....I am not the best driver as i do not practice launching but i will be running next week. Anyone planning to go already?

and another note.....I am not the best driver as i do not practice launching but i will be running next week. Anyone planning to go already?

I have wednesday off next week, so I will probably go for the first time too. I cant wait any longer on my gauges. After watching twice, I'm hooked and want to run.

i think i might be goin next week. see if i can cut better than a 2.08 60ft, HAHAHAHA. and dont worry man, none of us are NHRA racers, we dont know what we are doing either. but youve ot nothin to worry about in your STi with its strong tranny....... wanna trade......LOL.

your laughing at your 2.08 while im laughing at my 2.5 :( Had the sti for over a year and have not launched it once yet. I guess we will see what happens on wednesday. Ill be happy if i hit 13's

I have wednesday off next week, so I will probably go for the first time too. I cant wait any longer on my gauges. After watching twice, I'm hooked and want to run.
Which gauges did you order?

Which gauges did you order?

The Omori EGT and boost in the autometer cluster surround. This company J-Spec tuning sells the whole package for $390. Not sure when theyll get here and when I can install them though.

I'm probably ok to run, but its always nice to have that extra assurance from your gauges you know. I trust that my tune from Nate would be safe in anything I throw at it.

I got the same setup from j-spec also. I really like those guys.

S-S. I had him do it at the same time he installed my TBE, turbo, etc.

That was my plan untill the orginal gauge I ordered along with the other mods arrived damaged. :(

What other mods? Aren't you still doing the VF34 and all that stuff?

What other mods? Aren't you still doing the VF34 and all that stuff?

Eventually, thats the plan. Right now I'm looking for more information on the gains with some of the services deadbolt enterprises offers (monster port on intake and exhaust, ceramic coating, etc). Also in regards to Deadbolt I have been looking into their TD05H-16G which is comparable to the VF34. I'm also deciding on a larger TMIC. I'm looking at the V7 STi package the rallispec sells or even the Helix top mount but I need more information on that one.

So basically my next tune will accomodate a larger turbo (low end power), injectors, pump and TMIC. At that point I'm sure I will be more than satisfied.

Before that though I need some wheels and tires, the RE92's just arent cutting it anymore. :D

Some time I'd love to go for a ride in your car to see how the VF34 is. That would help make my decision much easier I imagine. You have the upgraded injectors and pump as well right with the stock TMIC?

I think Matt will more than likely let you ride in the car if you come out to the meets once and a while. lol

oh ok i think i saw you walking around the pits. you looked really suspicious as if you wanted to steal a car or something :D

wow....haha. just checkin out the wrx's!

i did a few practice launches tonite. Do you guys usually burn the clutch or no?

haha very funny, I know I really need to make it out one of these days :D

i did a few practice launches tonite. Do you guys usually burn the clutch or no?
depends. on the street i will usually rev it up to about 5.5-6k and dump the clutch as i floor it. this did not work for me at sac raceway though, it was too sticky and i bogged every launch. so i need to learn how to properly slip the clutch. on your car you dont really have to worry about your tranny breaking every time you launch hard like us "regular" WRX'ers do. practice makes perfect. if you can sense your clutch startin to burn just let it out more, you know? most of all just have fun. we will see you on wednesday!!!!

If I ever have free time and cruise to your work we'll go for a spin. Or just come to a meet :p

I did walbro fuel pump and STi pink injectors for fuel. Stock top mount ;)

I thought you had a black STi? What thgen do you have and what mods are you running?
PSM 03 WRX with VF34, etc....... i wish i had a black STi....

I'll be there wednesday, but this time I'm running!

I'll do my best to lock Nate or Joe from S-S in the trunk of my STI....i'll let them out when we get to the track.

They're not gonna fit in your trunk, but since the top mount is gone you could post Nate in the hood scoop and it may work:p

He must be a member of the "if it aint broke, mess with it anyways" group. Sounds like it should be quite impressive this time around.

^^^^^^ so im guessing you wont be taping our runs this time eh. we need to find somebody else to do it.

[QUOTE=Killian Maynard]He must be a member of the "if it aint broke, mess with it anyways" group. QUOTE]

Well, it did break, my engine went out....
This time around with a stronger motor and a big turbo, front mount intercooler, i should have a little more breathing room...

Nate != trunkmonkey (I found out the hard way ;))

Not this time, I'll bring my camera out if someone wants to film with it for us.

sounds good to me. sounds like a bunch of my friends will be there too.

Whens the earliest you guys can make it out there? I'm off all day tomorrow and all I have going is a detail and paint sealant for my car in the morning.

Nate != trunkmonkey (I found out the hard way ;))

:rotfl:

like always i will only make it out there after 5:30. i end work at 5 and head over to the gas station for octane booster, an icepack and maybe gas if i need it.
it would be pretty cool if we all met up and rolled together to the track.

Not sure where everyone is coming from but the detail shop in Rancho is always available as a place to meet.

I'm not all that familiar with the areas south of 50 except along sunrise where the shop is and where S-Squared used to be. Is there a place closer to the track to meet?

The shop is near where S-Squared used to be, just past white rock road off of sunrise.

Yes, we do window tinting. Not sure if we did your friends acura though, might have. If your friend was happy with the tint then it was us if he wasnt happy then it must have been another shop ;)

Rpm is a indoor go kart racing that is right off of bradshaw. There is a decent size parking lot

how much to retint my front 2 to 5% or 15%? i want them to match the rest of the tint on my car.

*****......

(swear filters suck, that word is another name for cat)
I know I know. It sucks now, but I gotta get a degree so I can get paid.

man i want to go, but i need a helmet lol.... if not i'll probably just go watch hey jason if you need someone to record let me know.

I'm sure one of us out there lend you one, when we're not racing

So is there a place we will all meet before the race or are we just meeting at the raceway? I would like to meet beforehand if we could. That way I will know who are i-club members and not just a random WRX out there.

so Mark, your racing treynor this weekend right? his wifes viper or the fast one?

so Mark, your racing treynor this weekend right? his wifes viper or the fast one?

This is one of the Vids from last year:

www.treynor.com/SRT-WRX.wmv

The viper last time had headwork/intake/drag radials/gears...
We went 2 for 2....
This time he added who knows what and a blower and is up to 691WHP on on dyno where a stock 03 viper SR-T10 gets 350-370 whp.

I'm lookin forward to seein some of guys other there...

im down to meet with any i club members before hand. As long as i am not late because i wanna get there early enough and get all done with tech. I also heard there is a chance of rain tomorrow. Lets cross our fingers and hope for no rain

So whats the consensus?

For those who are running, what time are you planning to arrive at the strip?

before 5

0% chance of percipitation, itll be around 60 degrees when the track opens and about 50 degrees when its finishin up. sounds great for racin. ill just be at the track at 4:30. so ill see all you guys there, im the silver bugeye sedan with the blacked out tail lights.

i will also plan to be there around that time also then. Ill be a white sti with a cf hood. Ill look for you

ditto, I'll see you guys there. I'll be in a SRR WRX hopefully with newly applied company decals.

ah damn, am i the only one that will be leaving at 5 for the track?

I'm sure one of us out there lend you one, when we're not racing

I hope so well anyways ill be there when it opens look for me in the SRR WRX w/the S-S Decals on the fenders.

im gonna have to throw out another "ah damn" because i might not make it to the track today. im gonna have to change out my springs.

man i want to go, but i need a helmet lol.... if not i'll probably just go watch hey jason if you need someone to record let me know.

Actually my dad is coming out to watch and I told him he should film all of the subarus :D Thanks anyways Larry.

We should PM each other for this kind of info. Let me know if you already have tint that needs to be removed and I can give you a quote.

I hope so well anyways ill be there when it opens look for me in the SRR WRX w/the S-S Decals on the fenders.

When did you put the S-S fenders stripes on? See ya there Larry.

im gonna have to throw out another "ah damn" because i might not make it to the track today. im gonna have to change out my springs.

Whats the story with your springs?

i have Tein H-Tech springs that need to put on. im tired of the 4x4 look, especially with a front lip on the car. it just doesnt look right. ill see how things go at my dads shop. if hes gonna let me stay and do my springs, i wont make it. if hes going to leave early ill be out there with you guys.

hey Killian, i was wondering if an appointment needs to be made for window tinting. my co-worker (the same guy that you guys did the 04 TL windows for) got himself a 02 3.2 CL and wanted to have them done asap. the car is still in transit from seattle, washington, but we dont know exactly what time it will get here. im hoping around 2 before 3. can you give me a quote? thanks.

just go with the stock springs tonight man, its better for weight transfer......... ;-)

Actually my dad is coming out to watch and I told him he should film all of the subarus :D Thanks anyways Larry.

cool make sure he sits by the bleachers where every one lines up so you can get a good shot of the times.

i put the stripes on last saturday at bbq over at the shop, thanks to Scott and Aaron for hooking me up.

ooh, i want some stripes. LUCKY!!!
i guess ill just try to hit the 13's on stock height. i hate that the whole front picks up when accelerating.
and i dont have a helmet so if i do hit a 13 that will be my only run.

I should be heading out tonight also, will there be a mini meet before the track opens?
say around 3:30 anyone??

well i club has been broken so nobody has had a chance to talk. How'd everyone do at bracket?

man.... i lost to a integra because he hits his dial in right on while i missed by .100 i bet you it was automatic. lol

Hey Ross I forgot to ask you did you still heard those sounds after your first run?
My pics are to big anyone know where i can host them or if some one can host them for me?

13.4? NICE, man! Looks like I get need to get back out there :D

13.4? NICE, man! Looks like I get need to get back out there :D

Thanks a lot man i was chasing Black's time of 13.2 that was the closest i got, so i'm guessing with your setup you'll probably be able to get in high 12's flat 13 easily with practice and no fear of your clutch.

I'm saving up money right now for a new trans/clutch so maybe when I get enough saved up I'll come out and just smash the **** out of everything :rotfl:

it was great meeting all of you out there. wasnt a very good night for me but that will soon change.

Did MarkSTi make it out?

Nope, I'm sure he'll post with any update, though.

Not that I saw.

That was fun last night guys. It was nice to finally put a face to some of the I-clubbers that made it out.

So I ran my car last night. It was the first time for me on a drag strip and I ahve to say I'm hooked! Anyways I ran 3 14.0's and a 14.1 at the end of the night. here are the stats from my fastest run:

I was happy to be that close to breaking 14 my first time out. If I improve my 60ft time I should be able to hit 13.9.

Also, my dad came out to watch, so i made him film all of the Subarus (thanks Dad) and that video should be up soon.


P.S. topnothchwrx, give me a call about the tinting.

P.P.S Hey Larry, if you can email the pictures, I'll host them for you
jason@onestopautodetail.com

nice times, man :D

Larry, my car never made that knock sound after those runs, only on the first one, but I think the car may have been knocking and may have retard some timing so I dunno. Maybe I am making excuses. My last run I ran 13.6 with a 1.9 60' foot and trapped at 100mph. Also when I shifted into 5th gear I hit boost creep and threw the cel so I am hoping I can pull better times than this.

my best 2 runs of the night were:

13.21@101.9 with a 1.88 60ft.

and

13.27@102.1 with a 1.97 60ft.
(i wrang third gear out to 7500 on this run and i plan to do that that from now on)

cant wait to get out there again and work on my 60ft times, ill have it in 12's the next night or 2 at the track hopefully!

sonic: you gotta get out there with us mang!

Yup, the cars not done, yet.
We are havin a few quirks, and it should be good to go soon.

BTW the car should be even faster now, as we are also pulling the heads and getting a little port work done. ;)

Yeah I want to come out there. Wednesday night is my only night of the week (aside from Friday) with no class, and it's also the only night of the week that I actually see Josey, so it makes it hard for me to get out there. I've got stuff going on for the next few weeks.

my best 2 runs of the night were:

13.21@101.9 with a 1.88 60ft.

and

13.27@102.1 with a 1.97 60ft.
(i wrang third gear out to 7500 on this run and i plan to do that that from now on)

cant wait to get out there again and work on my 60ft times, ill have it in 12's the next night or 2 at the track hopefully!

sonic: you gotta get out there with us mang!

damn, 7500. you think i can do that because i dont know whether to stay on it in 3rd or shift into 4th. i dont even know where the finish line is. too busy paying attention to the tach.

Larry, my car never made that knock sound after those runs, only on the first one, but I think the car may have been knocking and may have retard some timing so I dunno. Maybe I am making excuses. My last run I ran 13.6 with a 1.9 60' foot and trapped at 100mph. Also when I shifted into 5th gear I hit boost creep and threw the cel so I am hoping I can pull better times than this.

You should take it over to nate and have him look at plus you really need a downpipe.

Jason did your dad get my first run? also i'll send over those pics to you asap.

Matt if thats the only time you see josey you should go ahead and spend time with her no need to make excuses, or you could bring her with you.

Great timeslip, Larry! The stripes helped out, I see.;)

hell yea they did an extra 5 to the wheel for each sticker.lol

Eh, she doesn't like coming out because she gets bored, and I can understand that. Once school ends I'll have a lot more free time, but I won't come out to run then because it's too hot. Realistically I'll be back out for the last few weeks before the track closes for the year ;)

I'll probably be on that same program. Once it starts hitting those high nightime temperatures my track days will be done untill it cools off again.

yea i think i'm done too until the tempture goes down maybe one more run for me, now its time to do auto-x. i am going to go the one on the 17th to learn how to drive and teach those cones a lesson lol

jason you got mail.

I'll make it up to some autox this summer :)

I'd love to do some auto x's but first I need to get rid of the super re92's I'm sporting now.

I'm not big on Helix stuff. If I got a new top mount, I'd likely go with a USDM STi TMIC.

Then try the Rallispec JDM V.7 TMIS,its bigger than the USDM ones. Its like $800 for a full kit.

Hey Larry, at least it will be a fast way to wear them out so I force myself into having to buy new tires :D

i like my helix rear swaybar and endlinks.......

im most likely gonna go with a TMIC off ebay, its supposed to be the same as the turboxs one but its like $420 shipped. a guy on WRXF has it and has had no problems with it at all, sounds like a viable option for cheap bastards like me!

like i said a guy on WRXF bought it to be the guineapig and is having no problems with it. sounds good enough for me. if im gonna be spendin upwards of 700 for an intercooler im just gonna spring for a TXS FMIC.

So... whos coming out this week? I finally used the full tank of gas I had last week down to under a quarter tank, I'm hitting 13.9 this week, its helmet time! I'm sure it was the extra weight that held me back :rolls eyes and says nothing:

actually i don't believe the gas being a factor when i was hitting 13.8's i was almost at empty. but last week i was at half and mustard a 13.4 or it could be that i gotten better at my shifting.

as for this week i'm not going to be able to make it school is getting in my way. but make sure to record your runs so i can and gloat about missing all the action.

shhhh....don't tell them my secret lol. i think i lost weight just trying to get a helmet from them, running back and forth from the car to the tower.

An '01 2.5RS, which is a bit lighter than yours, can click off 15.3 or so, so you should be 15.7 maybe..if you can get off the line properly, which I know I can't ;)
