Wow, I reread that whole thread

I can't believe how much my car is like that - I have a big red perring intake now and lots of colored hoses and a cool tornado "Y" pipe with twin cermic tornados and at least 15 lbs of stickers. I am also running the cool stock rims with RED lug nuts.

I had to replace the cross drilled brake lines, I mean I was so fast I couldn't stop and after my 3rd accident, well the insurance was threating me, so I had to go back to stock, but I wrapped them in aluminum foil so they still look cool.

I also got two tickets for the killer downforce wing, cops said it was unsafe because it was 4 feet above the top of my car....what do they know? Anyways, I took it off - I was considering a battering ram though.

but I'm still not close to 1000 hp - more stickers maybe?

 

just keep at it buddy! ull be there in no time! just need 20lb worth of stickers more...8 foot wing....8" tip for exhaust...firefly lights for ur valve stems....leds on ur wiper squirters on the hood...ull get there soon

 

I am ashamed of my performance tonight, it is clearly a failing of the driver but I'll post 'em anyways.

Run 1:
12.9 @ 110 - I got distracted watching the other driver and didn't pay attention - also had trouble getting it into 4th.
60'=2.0 seconds

Run 2:
13.6 @107 - I hit the rev limiter in 1st gear
60'=2.2 seconds

Run 3:
14.x @ 107 - I really messed this one up, I went through the water box and spun my tires really badly - started to fishtail and all I could think of was upshift....well, this stopped my fishtail but now I was running down the track at around 10 mph.
60'=2.6 seconds

These short commings are from me not the turbo, I didn't practice my launching and it showed.

The 110 trap speed should be good for a 12.4 or so....I suspect that if I had a good launch I might have an even higher trap.

Thanks to everyone who came down to the Sacto raceway.

 

Numbers are quite nice!

 

Well, woke up at 3am to realize what was wrong - I over reved on launch - tire spin and all.

I will test this once or twice, but I am certain that is what's wrong.

What's worse about this is that there was another guy with an STi there tonight that kept fishtailing on launch and I told him to drop his revs, he did and ran some wicked times - need to take my own advice

 

so what were you launching at?

 

6000 ish and throw in a little panic

I think I need to drop my launch to the 5000 ish mark

 

Here's the dyno and my 1/4 "proof" really bad driving, but good trap speed for first time.

You dont have the full URL there.... the "..." in "v...ay1" is supposed to be something other than the dots; it was chopped when you copied it from somewhere else.

 

I saw ur wagon at the grudge match. I cant remember the times but i know it was hella fast. (except that time u drove through the waterbox, lol)

 

Fixed...

P.S. I forgot to mention that I did all my runs on my super sticky General Snow Tires

"Sooner or later you'll own Generals"

Is it just me, or does this jingle sort of sound like a threat?

I tried launching a few times at around 3500rpm, dropped the clutch, the car did not really go anywhere, but when it did finally start moving - it was kinda slow. A few minutes later the car smelled as if something on the car had been burning up.

Has anyone experienced this before? Do you think I could have damaged my clutch somehow?

Car doesn't really pull like it use to

 

sounds like your clutch burning......however, with an AWD car NEVER EVER, "drop the clutch".......you will break stuff (mainly your tranny) when launching, a LITTLE slippage is a very good thing!

That was my thought also! So, what is a good solid replacement clutch for this car?
