"and for that 10 seconds, I'm free."

I know man, I was so psyched to go to Mid-O until I got F'd in the A by my work.

I am resolved to make it to a HPDE THIS SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!

 

they don't stop the event unless it SNOWS!!!! (like 2 years ago)

they beleive running in the rain can gain u differnet experiences too

and i always leave my stuffs out and even windows opened, never had a problem

1 week...counting down!!

 

They cleared the track of snow two years ago and ran anyway...

 

Well, not Saturday, we're not that tough! As a testament to all-wheel drive, when I came up that Sunday and found a nice spot in the paddock, I thought it wasn't that bad out since the car handled so well... until I got out of the car, slipped, and fell flat on my *ss. Don't want to jinx it, but check out the weather forecast!

...after a tune - 325whp on dynojet

 

hey guys i'm Nick and from Columbus. I just picked up a 05 Apex Silver Evo. I've been driving it for 2 days and i love it. I went to a local shop's dyno nite to see what it would put down and it made 299 awhp and 338 awtq. As far as mods i couldn't tell you everything it has. The dealership i picked it up at was in KY and he said there was about $3K in mods.I know it has:

Apex Exhaust
Test Pipe
o2 housing
UICP
Greddy BOV
Exedy Clutch
and cams ( i dont know what type or size though)

Is there a good shop around columbus that could probably tell me what else i have?

 

I'm not alone! Get to Mid-Ohio sometime next weekend for the NASA event and you'll get to meet a bunch of Ohio/NKY evomers (like that's anything to look forward to!).

You might try Mead in Hilliard. I've never been there but it's talked about a lot. I didn't know a dealer could sell even a used car that didn't have a cat.

Wow, all these dyno pulls - I did mine on Thursday. Took it up to Pure Tuning in Toledo. Keith did a great job, and we ended up with 333hp/344tq. The car is a completely different beast now...

 

Just had my car re-tuned for spring / summer as well.

 

Wow. I've never measured, but I'm pretty sure yours is bigger than mine!

One of these days I should do something with the engine and maybe I won't have to try to make it all up in braking running with the 'vettes. How well does your car recover when you get back on the gas coming out of a corner? When you're ready to take cargo at Mid-Ohio I want a ride!

Dave

 

Cool. When were you there? I was just up there a couple weekends ago getting my car.

Keith does really good work.

 

THat "10 seconds or less..." may just be true

 

Did you do anything? Decided to get an intake or not?

 

^^The Eclipse...

 

Took it for a drive today and the alternator belt splintered. F. Now I have to try and replace that by Friday or the Eclipse ain't going.
