I may go to the track tonight to do some baseline passes with my new BOV and before I put the CO2 spray kit on. Anyone else wanna go?

I might go, but I was wondering if you needed help putting in that CO2 doohickey?

Can't put it in yet, I'll give you the scoop on it tonight.

tried calling you guys ... you going out tonight? need a designated driver?:devil:

I'll be there tonight... Hopefully I can improve on my 14.80's a little bit. GRRRR. See y'all there!

BIZAMMMMMMMMM!
I ran my two fastest times tonight.

14.187@94.70MPH & 14.181@94.50MPH

WOOT Now I'm running stock Mainland WRX times!:lol: :rolleyes:
I guess my stock BOV was the weakest link or aftermarket BOV do something after all. :eek:

i guess your stock bov couldn't hold even the stock boost pressure!-Scu

congrats!

I sucked ass tonight hahaha.

got there about 9, and did 3 runs, all of which im ashamed to mention lol!

Me too. Sigh. I suck. I picked up 1.25mph from a MBC and a TB Racing pulley - but still couldn't get anything under a 2.0 60' and/or a 14.8 in the quarter.

I did manage to pull a .500 light purely by accident/luck though. Small consolation. :-)

Right on MachV... What kind of BOV should I order? :-)

What sort of boost do you dial in on your SBC anyway? Does the BOV allow you to hold that boost any better?

Copy of an e-mail I sent to Wes detailing my track exploits (of more accurately, the lack thereof :-)

I suck bigger a**. :-( I ran EXACTLY the same ET as I did before I put in my MBC and lightened crank pulley! I picked up 1.25mph, but still ran 14.8's... GRRR!

I thought I FINALLY got the launch down too! I got the front wheels to "chirp" and it felt GOOD. But still only managed 2.0's. ARGH. :-)

Pass #1:
2.065 60'
9.521 1/8 et
70.87 1/8 mph
14.872 1/4 et
92.58 1/4 mph

Pass #2: (Missed 3rd gear - ARGH!)
2.034 60'
9.449 1/8 et
69.13 1/8 mph <-- missed that 3rd gear shift - CRAP. :-)
14.892 1/4 et
91.22 1/4 mph

I give up. Maybe I need to buy a blow-off valve like Dan and that white wagon? Maybe that's the secret "go fast" bit that we need to run stock WRX times in Paradise. :-P

The last pass I took your advice and took out my tire, jack, carpet, cardboard, etc. Looks like I was on my way to my fastest time yet - but then missed 3rd and ran out of time for a 3rd pass. Sigh. My clutch is starting to stink too.

I'm thinkin' that Dan is right and this just isn't a 1/4 mile car. :-P

I can't believe that I only picked up 1.25mph and NO e.t. from a MBC and lightened pulley. The car feels WAY stronger and I hold 15psi of boost in 3rd and 4th on the freeway. I think on the track my boost was tapering down to 11-12 at the top of 3rd at redline though. I wonder if I should buy an EBC (like the SBC-id that Mach5 runs) or what? I don't want to spend the money, but I want to run the times! :-)

*sigh* :rolleyes:

Don't give up! It's taken me 4 months to get down to a STOCK WRX time. Just keep practicing your launch, get your 60' time's down and get rid of that stock (restrictive) muffler. Let that down-pipe you have breathe.

Well here is what I did last night. Consider that I am a crappy driver (all my launches are 2.02 60 ft or higher) I guess I need the extra horsepower in order to compensate and make me more competitive.

.905 reaction
2.023 60 ft
8.798 1/8 mile et
80.77 1/8 mile mph
13.615 1/4 mile et
101.09 1/4 mile mph

I also let nolimit take a run in my car since he is a better driver. It was his first time ever driving my car and he also bogged 1st gear and still got.
.926 reaction
1.945 60 ft
8.634 1/8 mile et
80.65 1/8 mile mph
13.518 1/4 mile et
98.71 1/4 mile mph

I probably should have stayed longer and let him get more runs and lower times but I had to get home to the wife and kids.

Consensus is that this car is a low 13 sec car in HI and possibly a high 12 sec car on mainland. But I'm still a crappy driver.

101.09MPH:eek: Do they have a 100MPH on street tires sticker?

he's already got an MRT top mount, ... seems to be doing good. Of course a fmic may be better:confused: ;)

Woohoo! Grats Rexstang! :D You're just makin' me jealous though! :alien:

Dammit......I'm missing all the action.

Anyone up for Friday night at tracks?

IS2Scooby.....where've you been? You were quite the past few days.....only kidding

-Jon

MRT topmount...cooooooool....Do you have the bigger hood scoop and Type RA Splitter and gasket???That way you have FULL effect of your MRT topmount...:D:D:D

I've got the bigger hood scoop, just waiting for it to get painted. (Need to get off my lazy a$$) splitter and water spray/co2 spray will be forthcoming. Any deals? I will also be needing some porterfield brake pads and engine and tranny mounts. And the blue Twisted "I" emblem. What kind of deal can I get. PM me.

Laterz

Drak,

I've been bolting parts on my car that didn't make any difference at the track. Sigh.

I think I like posting better than wasting money. :-P

Aloha,
Richard...

P.S. I'd love to make it out to the track on Friday, but I'm not sure if the "ol' lady" is down for it. Will let you know! :-)
