Oops, I thought I heard 699wtq over the phone.

 

i dont think that 9wtq is gonna hurt you mike. i am looking forward to seeing and riding in this beast. congrats on the numbers and the magazine spread.

 

You did hear 699...My Bad...I was pushing the pen if it really made an impact. Rounding up like prices at Walmart...LOL

See you in the morning.

Oh yeah I forgot to post the curb weight...

Well it turns out that with the added weight of the TT kit, Oil cooler, oil capacity, etc... it turned out to be a wash weight wise. Right before the car went under the knife it weighed in at 3,240 lbs. with no driver, no spare, etc. Current curb weight with no driver is still 3,240 lbs. Although I was hoping for more, if you think about it, this number should have been expected. However, this number will drop as I have a few things left up my sleeve...

CF hatch with Lexan rear window ( I will also be losing the Nismo wing when I do this)

Odyssey PC680 battery (only if we can find somewhere to mount it and still have the car balanced on all corners.

Then again, I will also be adding a full roll cage so, it will probably be a wash again lol. Oh well, at least it doesn't weigh more lol.

 

well still some unnecesary things you can ditch mike, like the roof, no need for that with the cage. the whole floor pan excluding that part holding your seat. only fuel up at a gallon a time.

actually you could replace the stock gas tank with a poly one. not sure if they would even let run with the tank in the trunk though. on second thought, that could be a mess, don't do that. hahhaa.

 

What Up MB? You can't have your cake and eat it too all of the time. OR CAN YOU?

Before you were 3240lbs and only making 250 to the wheels. Now you are still 3240 lbs but making 550 to the wheels. You increased your power by 300 WHP and your torque by almost 400 FT/LBS. Sh.. That is KICK ***. Your power to weight ratio is absolutely amazing.

For sure! I am not complaining. Its still lighter than it was stock!

 

I think add 40 lbs and carpet that badboy...LOL to decrease on the interior vibrations. I think you power can make up for it!

[QUOTE=mraturbo]Sorry, ONLY 690 FT/LBs...Over 450 FT/Lbs over the entire Powerband....YES...Clark at JWT wanted more, but we needed to Race her Saturday and Sunday....LOL

LMAO! ONLY 690 ft.lbs!

So, how'd the racing go?

Mike,
You're running JIC coilovers, aren't you? I ran them for about 3K and got tired of skittering around corners, even on the softest setting. Are you going to try lower spring rates or switching to a different coilover?

Bruce

 

Yes I am running the FLT-A2s. I will be getting different spring rates for both the front and rear. We will make the front ones just a bit softer and the rear ones a lot softer. I am going to see what Swift Springs can do for me, and if they can't help me, then I will have to have some custom ones made.

 

+1. Now we are talking. I had JIC race coilovers and without full Hoosier Slicks, they were ****, specifically on bumpy tracks like Streets of Willow. With the Hoosiers, it was amazing, but, damn. Would be nice to find a happy medium on handling and traction?
