Are you going to use the non reinforce FD stocks?

 

no. i sold them. i am using the reenforced versions. but thats for a later date.

sunday ill be using a stock BBS rim on a 245/45/17 Hoosier DR

the RX-7/QTP combo will be for E85 and drag use only.

 

thanks a lot man. the nitto tire's are now street only. ill have the new DR for light street use and drag.

 

Your welcome dude! Hoosier DRs i heard good things about. Those tires have cut 1.4 60s before i believe! Good luck man on ur next track day!

 

options baby. haha.

 

^^^Hell yeah, looks good! 9s here you come! I wonder if I can get my dad to come up to Island for Father's Day...haha...

 

im dragging my dad there hahahaha. 1st time he will ever watch me run actually. he only has seen the youtube vids. so it should be fun....................... i hope

 

Dan, I would slap those on and go driver around a little bit to heat cycle them in, they won't hook very well until there scrubbed in and heat cycled. Do some wide open throttle pulls through 1st and 2nd on them and get some heat to them, then take it to the track..

BTW, looks good man! When are you going out again?

 

Ill be putting them on and driving to the track. Its some highway and some twisty back roads. About a 30 min drive. Will that work?

 

not going to the track tonight. having to many ignition issues to even think about going. i am not wasting my time or fuel to putter down the rack. sorry to those rooting for me

 

Cant believe I missed this thread man...

That sucks about breaking the axel awhile back, and now some ignition issues... What exactly is going on?

Good luck running next time when you do go.

LY FTW!!!

 

honestly i have no clue. i was never going to say anything as things were being taken care of. AAA+++ for customer service. and this is coming from a guy who has been one of the 1st C.O.P. buyers ''from sparktech''. for how many years and a great relationship imo that says something. anyways the CDI on the c.o.p. failed on the dyno when the car was being tuned. sean gave me his stock ignition to borrow for the mean time. . i sent the c.o.p. back and ran the stock ignition doring the tune and the last track event. on the dyno it was clean. at the track in top of 4th it had small break up issues. i guess thats expected at 36+psi. not sure though. plugs were gaped at .018

i got the c.o.p. back and it still had issues. so i put the stock ignition back on and gaped the plugs to .017 last night. this morning i took the car out to make sure it was running good and it was missing all over the place. so i put new plugs in gaped to .014 and took it out again and it was much much better but still not enough. it just wont stay smooth.

i dont know how low of a plug gap i can go. is .010 even ideal???? i have no clue. on the c.o.p. at 36+/40 psi i ran a .022 gap. i have no clue why the car is having this problem now. either way. there was no point to go race a broken car. i want to run this thing at full boost ''40psi''. but i wont beat the hell out of it if its not running 100%.

on the flip side the car looks SICK with the new rims and DR tires. haha.

 

Im sure youll get it sorted out eventually. Sparktech I know will help you out as they did with me.

As for the gapping. Im not sure if you lose power, but i would think so since the gap is not as wide as it was before. Seeing .010 is really low, i wouldnt even go past .018. Best thing you could probably do is wait for you COP to get back and gap it to what it was tuned at.

You should post up a few body shots of the car man. I love the way your setup looks on the LY

 

Well maybe this time I do not have an ignition problem. I just put a second stock ignition on the car with another set of new plugs. Took the car out at 35 psi. Breaking up still. So I dropped boost to 25 psi. And still it breaks up. So I started going in different gears watching rpm. Each gear does it around 6k.

Anyone for suggestions

 

Give me a call at the shop on Tuesday. I have a good idea of what it is.
