Congratulations. I was there with my buddy Mike in the E-Shift Supra. I thought we would be more competitive with you guys but we had some issues (bad boost controller only letting us run 10 lbs of boost and brand new unshaved Toyo RA1s). But we still managed a 4th place. I have a Z myself and I was really impressed with the times you guys were running. The car and driver were badass!!! See you guys next year. Anyone else have pics?

Thanks Z33 that was a nice supra!
Well looks like one of my turbos went **** up... well something is leaking oil off my car???
Def see you next year.

 

Bad turbo!? Luie-I'll call you later when I get off work man...

 

man i didnt even realize that was your car out there until i ran into you on the balcony watching the car get drifted around that one turn! you didnt even flinch if that was my car i would have damn near had a heart attack!

huge congrats man the car looked great all weekend

 

Good seeing you to,and good job on the Street class

 

Sure thing bro, need to run somethings by you

 

Congrats on the accomplishment Luie......saw the car in action. She was looking fast....

 

Man luie that car is def a beast,i wish i could have made it out there to see how bad *** it really is.Be safe over there bud.

 

congrats on the times..... luie just wondering where in bahgdad are you at? and what do you do? oh yeah what division you with?

 

Ill be working out of BIAP. Cant say what unit on public forum but we mostly work at night

 

Congrats we realy enjoyed meeting you and scott on saturday it was a great event you guys realy were working hard on the car nice job .

 

Should of tried to run on highboost!

 

Thanks so much guys it make all the hard work and current trouble with the car all worth it. We are going to work out some bugs out of the car and jump onto a new ECU, thats more user and track friendly. We tried to run the car on high boost with c16 but the car was like choking (something was up with the map) so we stuck with mid boost??? There goes $150 in gas. We ran the **** out of the car

 

did you ever figure out what was up with high boost map? that would have been cool to compare them on the track..

 

No? It would run great but when it would get to around 4or5K it would burble kinda like it was choking. We ran all the gas till it died before we put the c16. It would have been great to compare. Jim is working on some cams just for these turbos, there is one set getting ready to go on the Doulble down car, so if they do good a set will be made for mine witch means new tune. Joe is going to install the meth kit and what ever he feels like doing. Then a new tune for that setup will be needed. Kinda fustrating but oh well. The freaking car did good.

 

very very cool my friend...


be safe and talk to you soon!!

 

Im dissapointed the turbos failed so quickly, but thats the price you pay when you REALLY push a car. Even then I woulda expected the water/oil cooled to last longer than 1 weekend. Goes to show people what should work better on a road course (over say a Greddy kit) in theory can still have issues properly set-up. Luie-what are you doing about your coolant, changing/flushing it out?

 

Jim called me last night and asked if I had a catch can and also asked my about where some hoses are routed and then he lost me... I just got back from doind what he told me and I found out some intresting things. Its in Joe hands and from talking to Joe he has a good idea what it could be.. All in all Jim was very stock for rocking his sticker and said he will do anything thats needed to fix any turbo issues (if its turbo issues). As far as the car overheating, who knows I am stump, I belive Bam Bam is having overheating issues also. The car cools down to 177 on the highway on 6th but as soon as you get on it it get hot and at the light slowly climbs, this morning it got up to 198 @ a light only stoped for 1 min and not driven in boost?? Still leaking oil. It will get fixed, I was just hoping it would last more than 1 track day?? Jim is a smart dude! I am pertty sure its the turbos but it might not stay tuned.

 

So your CC was hooked up wrong? I re-routed mine after the drive home I had a line collapsing under vacuum causing serious amounts of smoke under decel! Easy fix, but def scared the $hit outta me...

 

The wheels are 9.5 front E.T +35 with 25 mm spacer in front(our car)and 10.5 rear E.T +18

no proble Luie glad we were able to help.
