here are all of my pics from the hill climb. i didn't really take time to sort them, so some are blurry, and some are of absolutely nothing at all. haha. but there are some good ones in there. lots of crazy cars. wish i could have seen the runs on saturday.

and here are some pictures of mark's mustang. glad he is ok!

 

good job on the runs jeremy , sucks to hear that the mustang put it in the rail!!!

obviously good choice on the twin disk you will like it alot.

 

if you need to get your break in miles on the new clutch out of the way jeremy, i will volunteer to run shifts with you! driving around the clock until the clutch is ready for racing. haha.

 

Why not cosworth?

 

cosworth is another good option........plus BC is supposadly releasing a mivec cam in the near future as well.

There will be some decent cam options for the IX in the near future

 

I got ya now Travis. I'm sure it could make a difference if you're tweaking all of those parameters.

Mike, to be quite honest, I dont' think there's a "bad" option for cams in a IX. Personally, if I had a IX, I probably wouldn't even do cams. Like Travis and I were saying, is $500-600 + install time or money, really worth the supposedly gained 10-15 whp? You make the call. They're all good choices, cossies, hks, gsc, whatever.

 

Guys, Im in a real bind. I need 2 three inch gasekts by tomorrow. Can anyone help??? Please, I will order you new ones, or just pay you for them. I have to put on this test pipe by tomorrow night. I don't even care if they're 2.8" or whatever. I just need them ASAP. PM me or call me if you have my number.

 

I don't have any in stock, however if i were you i'd go buy liquid gasket at pepboys or autozone.

I actually use this on my entire exhaust system and it works perfectly.

Good luck!

Yeah, I think that's my only option. I hear it actually works better if you do it the right way with the liquid stuff.

 

What i did was i got a fine slab of sandpaper, lightly scuff the flange (nothing serious) and then really caked it on nicely. I have yet to have a problem.

Yeah im def. not sure if its worth it yet myself, there is power you can unlock just by tweaking the mivec map. Me and a friend spent a good hr. one night just playing with mivec settings and datalog lab'ing the power curve to see how they responded with hp, tq. etc. I have a custom mivec map from this research that he created and i also have 2 tuner mivec maps i want to test against our custom map and see which one responds better....i just need the time to do it.

 

i don't think i have any extra 3" ones left over, but i believe i may have a couple off my stock exhaust.

let me look around the basement. i will PM you in a minute.

 

Well it depends....I mean it's not as cost efficient as say an 02 housing or flash. However when you have all the other bolt on's and don't want to add a turbo yet there really isn't much left to do....Plus it's been documented gains were bigger with bigger turbo's so it's a good future mod also. I was gonna jump on a set but I think I might wait to see some back to backs, so it maybe a spring of next year
mod.

 

I beleive I have the gaskets at home.

Give me a call and we'll meet up.

You can also reuse the gaskets from the HFC. Not highly recomended but I did do this in a pinch and it did not leak.

 

if anyone is interested here is a quick video of 2 of my runs up the mountain. the second being faster, with a totally different line.
