Wanted to share this unseen pic of the Red Demon that DSport posted on their Facebook page yesterday.

I gotta say......I absolutely love this pic and I really wish they'd post more

With the weather being so nice this past weekend, we decided to head out for one last track day of the year. We have made a couple of changes to the car since MIR, where we had rear diff issues along with a fueling issue, which made us keep the boost way down (35-38 psi).

The fueling issue ended up being a bad regulator, that wasn't increasing fuel pressure correctly with boost. With the fueling issue solved, I looked into the rear diff issue. It turns out the rear subframe was flexing a lot!! I ripped/cracked the rear subframe in 3 spots which was allowing movement of the rear end. One of the rips is a good 4-5 inches long. At MIR, I meet a new friend that happened to have a Magnus chromoly rear subframe that he was selling at a great price. That seemed to have taken care of the diff issues.

Heres our results from the weekend:

This car is absolutely the best representation of a 2G out there.

Little bit The track prep wasn't very good that day. There were maybe 50 people at the track and I never saw any VHT being put down.

Thanks After the fueling issue (the regulator) was fixed, I was slowly turning the boost back up. It started raining and the track shut down before we got the boost back up and the car at full power. The 172.7mph pass was at 41-42 psi. The car makes full power around 46-50 psi, and I was hoping for a 175+ mph trap. We will have to wait untill next year for that one.

The car didn't feel right at MIR, it was going sideways way to easily. That prompted us to go over the suspension, and thats when we found the issue.

That is madness - is that all on the GT3794R-HTA still? You mentioned something in a thread somewhere about comparing the PT6766 and the HTA3794, have you done that... or do you have any thoughts on how they might compare?
