Here is my time slip (1/8th mile) from today which is slightly a new personal best for me, this should be the last time before I get the car tuned:



These R1Rs are making it really hard to launch, I literally have to slip is just right or it will bog, when I get tuned I'm gonna have the 2 step raised also.

 

 

Got the above installed and started tuning with Tamer, awesome dude, I'm definitely sticking with him!

Here's a pic of what I mounted the Hallman.


It bleeds 3-4PSI depending on what gear I'm in. Is that normal with stock turbos?

 

cleaannn.. didnt think white MR wheels would make that big of a difference but WOW!.. sorry if this is a noob question or if you already answered it but is that a stock or aftermarket front bumper?

 

Thanks man!

It's a HKS Kansai front bumper!

 

Car is now tuned! I must say, I will always go back to Tamer for my re-tunes, car revs out soooo much smoother now. One thing I know for sure with him is he definitely cares about the safety of the engine a lot! He gives me advice whenever I need etc also!

I was going to get GSC S1's but I think I am going to go with the S2's and some gsc beehive springs, I drag race a lot and all we have here is the 1/8 mile so I think the S2's with revving a bit higher will help me out a good lot on the 1/8. Gonna change timing belt, balance belt and tensioner same time also!

 

next time you go to the track you should throw up a video of a run or two!

 

There's a race this weekend so hopefully if Tamer gets my 2-step working I'll be able to get some videos

What a day I had. Got beat by a GIRL who was driving MY old Evo III - but it was the best beating I got, couldn't have asked for anymore!



I have to give the biggest thank you to Tamer from www.4wstuning.com, I haven't had many tuners in my life but this guy KNOWS what he is doing. My pump gas map took about 5 days to complete - most of the time was held up because of rain from the hurricane. Race gas map took 2 days to complete. Tamer was very professional and cared about the safety of the motor more than anything else haha. When I felt the final race gas map I knew I was going to beat my previous time which was 8.2. So today I arrived at the track, when they opened it up to do some test runs I did some logs for Tamer and told him my times, he immediately started giving me advice on how to drive, where to shift etc. My first pass was 8.2 while bogging @ 86MPH. He told me to launch a bit higher and shift @ 7200 because taking it to redline is just dropping out of my power band. He told me he knew I could do 7.7-7.8. Next run was an 8.1, still bogging and I forgot to shift where he told me to. Ran again and did 8.0, with an OK launch but knew it could be better, again forgetting to shift where he told me. Then he messaged me on AIM after seeing the log and said 'Shift at 7200!!!!!!!!!'. I was like OK I won't forget this time haha. Next pass I did was a 7.9 @ 86MPH, shifting just a bit higher than 7200. I was quite content when I hit that!

Then elminations started and I heard I had to race my old car who was being driven by the owner's wife, I'm like dammit! Cuz she ran a 7.7 earlier so I knew I would have to give it my all, needless to say, she gave her all too lmao. We both ran our personal bests against each other. I KNOW my car has a 7.7 as is in it right now, but I was VERY happy and decided to take that time slip and go home.

I haven't even started the power mods yet, once I start that I know I will get out of the hole way better.

I made the right decision when choosing Tamer as my tuner, guy is on point! I couldn't be happier right now, even when getting beat by a girl!

 

that is gorgeous!!!

 

Thanks!

 

rhd evo for the win.

 

Haha yeh!

 

Those recaro's are sweet! Jealous, nice car!!
