Went to the track for the first time since I bought my evo.

I didn't practice launching on my exedy at all so I was skeptical on getting decent times. I also turned the boost down a bit just in case.

The very first run shifting at 7k rpm :

60'...1.930
330....5.423
1/8....8.260
MPH....88.92
1000....10.674
1/4.....12.693
MPH....111.02

The second run shifting at 7.6k rpm and spinning first :

60'...1.808
330...5.172
1/8...7.824
MPH....93.33
1000...10.072
1/4....11.980
MPH....119.33

For the first time, I thought having a IX MR sucked.
I should be trapping 123+mph but I guess my poor driving + IX MR gearing + lower boost = 119mph.

Once I get retuned for better weather, I'll try again with boost unchanged and better prepared!

 

well not bad for the first time out. keep practicing and you'll get there.

 

Pump or Race gas?

 

not bad... just practice practice practice!

 

nice times, keep working on the 60ft

 

Of course pump gas.

Getting those times on pump is bad enough.

If I used race gas, I'd hit myself

 

Bobby, let me know the next time your trying to hit the track. My car will be done next week. Ill roll out there with you. (its anthony btw)

 

^ I know its you anthony. Can't wait to see your results.

 

nice time

 

New turbos and new clutches make a track day very difficult the first couple of times. Keep practicing Bobby and your times will improve a bunch. Not that you didn't already know that.
