+1
After talking to Jim last night for an hour.
Once again I realy think it something small and stupid. No smoke or issues even on the last lap as far as power wise.

 

That would be cool. No worries though man, congrats again.

 

Haltech Platinum FTW!! Seriously though. Thats the only draw back I see to the Fcon. No end user adjustments are possible. I know everyone is going to say a well tuned Fcon needs no tweaking but I don't buy that. We change stuff on our cars all the time. Weather changes, track conditions, setup, etc. The ability to tweak a standalone on a ***** out track car is mandatory IMHO.

 

this is so cool, I really regret passing up this weekend now. I could've met a whole bunch of cool guys that I routinely read about. love the focus and respect being given to suspension settings.

next time, if you guys come to summit point I am there, VIR is much farther and I don't even get to kart there!!

also, I love the fact that in every picture you posted it looked like you were running different rims each time

 

Yes, suspension is just as important as anything elso, if not more on these cars.

The car was on different wheels and tires alot, three different combinations.

 

hahaha, that is what it looked like.

WA2GOOD: do you mind if I PM you a question?

 

PM away

 

I just learned that this weekend!

 

Luie-you should still have my address, send me that tape and I'll do my best to post it up ASAP. BTW-mini DV I hope?

So the CC routing we discussed did work?

 

I'll have my wife send it this week. we'll find out very soon if it solves the problem, but I am pretty sure, I sure hope it fixes the overheating issue.

 

I am out!

 

ive had one jwt turbo with a bad seal.i also highly doubt the turbo seal is bad.Anyways good stuff guys i cant wait tell redline comes back are way.See you there scoot (j/k)scott.Is mike b still gonna run 850s this season.

 

What?? We have been running the 850's in our Time Attack car (Double Down350z.com) for a few months now. So yes, we are dedicated to JWT to figure out how to make better use and more usable power in these 850BB's. Power is NOT the issue, just making usable power for a roadcourse is the key. A little better "under the curve" power would be nice, but we are testing some stuff and will be a little better before the Redline Finals and the Super Street Super Lap Battle finals that are comming up right after SEMA

 

Congratulations to all of you guys
Scott, nobody is surprised to see such consistency from you. You are a true pro
out there.

 

Thanks Mike, I apreciate your support

Good pics of Daves FT Z, not too many of me in Louie's (Eagletang's) Z.

Juan, your Sparco Racing wheels looked better on Daves car than Louie's, but the tires sure saved my day.

2:04.721 Tarzan Yamada/Philip Grabow - Element Tuning STI
2:09.638 Scott Bush - GTSpec/Relentless Autosports 350z

 

That is like compareing apples to oranges...........


I think what Driven1 was refering to was the modified class, not the Unlimited class that the element tuning STI was competing in. Tarzan was also going to compete in the modified class (where we where both on R-comps not slicks) but I think they broke something, but before that, I passed that car a couple times in that class, thus being faster on the same type of tires.... FYI, on our cars, I have found slicks such as Hoosiers to be about 3-5 seconds (depending on the track) faster than a R-compound tire of the same size on the same car with the same set up.

No doubt, Tarzan is a world class driver and a great spokesman for the tuner car driver industry, and always a force to be reconed with (especially in AWD cars). Not taking anything away from any of the competeters at this event. There was a strong gathering of quick cars there, especially some of the BMW's, and I never have seen so many stripped out race prepped EVO's at one event before either. IMO, the competition is a bit steeper in Time Attacks out on the west coast compared to the east, but they are all tough none the less.
