EQ Tuning Track Day 2 - Thunderhill - June 1st!
Again Ed, thanks for the great track experience. It was a shame that my car had HUGE wastegate issues that slowed us (me and my cousin) down, but it was an absolute blast nonetheless.
As someone said earlier, it was also cool to meet a bunch of new people and see some awesome cars. That grey widebody was ****, along with the white bugeye on gold wheels. Those are the two that stood out the most to me, but all the cars were dope.

Was your rearend getting loose or something?
That happened coming into the pits. The bumper is only held on by zip-ties for easy removal/install and one of the zip-ties broke. It took all of 2 seconds to fix. Lol

Thanks Ed & Sonia for putting on a great day at the track. I agree, the weather was as good as it gets. I enjoyed practically having the track to myself, with some new friends of course! Great meeting a bunch of you, checking out others sweet rides, and blasting around in my favorite car that I own, well . . . the only car that I own.
I have tons of pics to go through and process (there all in RAW). I'll post them up when they're ready, hopefully around the weekend.

it's Kevin with the Sonic bugeye. Nice meeting you man. Your car is fast. I'm glad you had a good. Hopefully you will be at the next event. Oh yeah...can I have your headlights =P. Hehe.

Yes, thank you EQ for such a great day. I had fun watching and hearing all your subies flying by my Z at the passing zone. Haha. Some of you had great back fires. Good thing is after all you passed by me I practically had whole track by myself to practice line without any pressure. Thank you Chris for coaching! I felt a lot more comfortable after 3 sessions of his coaching.

How much will it hurt my car if I drive around with a dead turbo. It still drives fine, just no boost.
What I don't get is it sounds like it is trying to spool but its much quiter than usual. And the ap says all I have is vacuum.
I checked hoses though best I could incase one came loose and broke, but I couldn't really get into see.
Any thoughts?

I'm glad everyone had a good time and all the cars made it home under their own power (I brought the car trailer just in case) and we couldn't of asked for better weather.

Haha, I love that thing. I run a white wingless trunk on the street though so that is why the trunk lid was blue
