altho my car is currently down I'm working on bringing it back stronger than it was before though. Down time is a good excuse kick it up a notch again

What are you planning on doing with it?

And do they have a thing where we can just show up and drive of course pay money but not a HPDE event?

 

New Kelford 272 cams/upgraded timing belt/balance belt/accessory belt/timing belt tensioner/timing belt pulley/balance belt tensioner.
New oil pump/seals/re-gasketing exhuast system to plug up any leaks.
New tires/brake pads/RBF600 brake fluid
anything else I feel like doing while the car is down...

Once everything is back together and broken in, I plan to try and retune with increased boost from 21 to 24psi.


O yea, and as for track events non HPDE, there are such events that are less organized, but I would highly recommend that you go through the proper learners channels when starting at a new track/new track driving experience. Unlesss you are very experienced driving on the track, it's really helpful to go through all the training and having the instructor there to teach you correct technique and line. The whole point of track days should be to make you a better driver and HPDE works really good for that for beginners.

Just going out and driving around is possible, but much more dangerous and you won't learn a whole lot just dicking around on your own! Having an experienced instructor accelerates improvement exponentially and makes you faster and safer


O yes and for any of you interested in getting a NASA membership to sign up for a HPDE track day this season. Let me know. I can get them to waive your $44 2009 membership fee if you sign up for a track day.

 

well me and a friend with a 350z are going to indy saturday, we should be in castleton around 5 or 6 were goin to the mall, then to circle centre for a little.. prolly cruise after that, then some of my other kokomo friends will be down around 10 or eleven.. they will be bringing a stage 3 srt w/ full bolt ons only running 17 psi at the moment, a cobb stage 2 sti, another slightly modded srt, nd a mildy modified jeep srt-8.. if anybody from the indy/greenwood are would wanna meet up

 

Why are you guys scared of drag racing?

 

No, I'd rather not drive in a straight line. It's no where near as fun as driving on a track.

 

well i dont think the srt, camaros, nd other forum ppl will go to a track day, i know i would like a strip day myself

 

I have to agree. Watching other people drag is cool, but I'm not trying to pay good money to shock expensive evo drivetrain components just to drive in a straight line as fast as I can lol! That's a waste of Evo! Think of all those poor engineers who put all that effort into strengthening the chassis, and developing aluminum suspension and all that! You don't wanna let them down and not use the car for cornering? You could get a 1st gen DSM rattle trap to do dragging, much cheaper and lighter platform!

Track driving is so much more challenging and entertaining for the driver. It requires so much more skill and finesse to be fast around a track. Not to mention the fun lasts several 20 minute sessions instead of a handful of 10-11 sec runs! I'm not saying drag racing is no fun, just that its the wrong choice out of the two given the fact that we are driving Evos hehe.

 

Amen!

 

saw a wingless silver evo 9 in btown, tried to get his attention
