pssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Whateva

East coat is #1

 

It was stated that you spanked the Element Subi/Tarzan but they ran 5 seconds faster than you with a couple hundred WHP less - I'm not comparing anything, just confused by that statement which was obviously a big error...

Also, you were on NT01's..? There is NO WAY a 5 second difference between them and the tires Element was running, 1 maybe 2 seconds MAX! Tarzan is just a great driver!

 

Hahaha, Phill I do not know what your personall issue with me is, cause this is pretty childesh and petty, but just this once, I will play your little game (again) I had no intention of complaining here, all the cars were fast and I acomplished what we set out to do with this car (and then some), but since you insist on pushing the issue......

I see that, but I did not state that, Phill

Yes the Element EVO is a nice and pretty well rounded track dedicated car, and it is marginally faster than this street 350Z that I was driving. I have spoken with Element, and I was told by them what WHP numbers they were running their car at that weekend, and I can tell you that it is NOT a couple hundred HP less than the 536whp settings we had the car at. I would prefer a lighter less whp AWD car any day over a heavy RWD car. Not to mention the weight advantage they have with that stripped down STI , and not to mention the AWD factor, and not to mention this was the first time on a track with this car (the Z), and not to mention the easy 3-4 second tire advantage. Remember we usually run our car on ALL the tire (street, R-Comps, and slicks) classes so we know what the time differences are in rerspect to tire compound choice. Jeez. LOL

Hahaha, ^^^ You just did!, and there is no comparing these two cars, at all. once again, not my error, but I appreciate you pointing it out

Ok tire expert, I agree


Can we be done with all of this now? ........... Thank you.

 

I don't have a personal issue with you and I'm not playing any games - there was a false statement posted and I was asking for clarification...

Typical that you would interpret this as a personal attack, but you're the one attacking...

This is like VRT all over again...

 

fine, let it go then.

LOL, please, hahaha. I wonder who/where you got that statement from....
Hahaha, you couldn't be further away from the truth, and anybody that actually knows us and what kind of work we do can vouch for that.

Maybe I missunderstood your "needing clarification" as an attack. I am through stooping to this level and letting you get under my skin (and I am to blame for letting you )



Sory everyone. I have had a tough week back and am in a LOT of pain. Guess I am short tempered from it, and the antisipation of my surgery and being bed ridden for a few days is a bit irritating. I do apoligize

Back on topic.

 

Just got through the rest of this thread - wow it's grown. Scott, Tarzan may be good, but no question you got skillz bro! And btw, still loving that STB for my G!

Glad to hear the smoking issues look like something trivial Luie. I was thinking you might want to put a stronger check valve coming off the PCV on the passenger side to make sure flow can only exit (just in case the one way PCV valve is leaking due to seeing high boost).

I think something understated in this thread, although there were many contributors, is that this accomplishment is a testament to the quality work ForgedPerformance puts out. To run without any change in engine tune and survive running the car under tough track conditions, just plain ROCKS! Kudos Sharif - no matter what you gotta be proud of the quality you guys are putting out. Now I know why you spend so many hours on the dyno with each car... Even when the cars move out and on, it's your heart and soul in every Forged car out there.

 

Thanks again buddy.

 

Although I could really expose you, I've choosen not too so don't push me

There was a statement made about you spankin the crap out of Tarzan and the Element Subi and based on the results it wasn't true...

Your comments about passing them and whinning about tires as the reason you didn't beat overall is VERY VRT...

 

Scott...

I have the same setup on my car..and my temps stay undercontrol...and believe me, I run my car hard. When my car was stock....it would over heat when I drove it the same way.

 

Thats the same one I have....I empty mine after 20 lap. I like it because you can tell right away if its full or not.

 

OUCH That VRT statement was very painful.

 

Good job Scott!! I have yet to ride with Scott on a track, I really want to.

 

I do really belive is something super minor, I am not really concerned. The only thing that has wondering is the temps getting up to 200 on the street and staying there or climbing. Forged did a good job on the build, as far as I am concerned.

 

Well your slow coolant leak and this issue are probably related - I'm sure it won't be too hard to track down. Stay safe over there Luie.

 

Thanks! Just got here and already in the $hit of things.

 

Secret Squirrel stuff, gotta know the handshake for that info. . .lol, good luck Luie.

 

Glad you got there safe, now the goal is to remain safe over there.
I am sure your car will be fine and ready again when you get back.

 

I hear you,IMO, this car never realy overheated. It just stayed hot and that seems to be the way the Evans coolant works. The heat didn't seem as big as an issue as the oil loss through the BOV's and spraying all that oil onto the air intake filter was as far as I was concerned. It is funny how each car has its own little characteristics. I have my guesses as to why we had these minor issues, but it is just speculation untill the car goes under the knife again here pretty soon. For the most part the car was nice to drive, a bit of a wet noodle with no STB, but like I said, it all worked pretty good.

 

Yes it did! This car gave you the tools to win. It did the job, even with no previous track prep.

 

but he called it a wet noodle you gonna take that? LOL!
