got ya chris. its just one little part that's grabbing that i really need to take care of. i'll give this a shot too.

 

With the mallet, you'll most likely bend/dent the fender with a few strikes (where you'll hit has higher resistance to folding than straight panels which will just give and bend) and it's a lot harder to control how much force you're inducing with the mallet. The rubber will absorb some of the impact, but not too much and it's not round at the end.

The pipe will be much easier to control your leverage/strength and effectively smooth things out better than a blunt force. Good luck with this.

 

I am sure that I will be there. I promise that I will race this time, I got enough crap from Chris last time out.

 

lol, you'll get some from me too if you dont show up and race! its a great time and gets your adrenaline going, love it. try not to get nervous, which you will, and dont be embarrassed if you dont run killer times your first few tries. dont compare your times with others just try to improve with each run.

 

I'm not new to the track, just new in this car. I have only had the car for about 3 months so I am still trying to get used to it.

My last car was FWD so this time out it will be a little bit different.

I probably won't have my new tires by then so I guess we will see what the bald stock tires will do.

 

FWD is way different than RWD. I use to race my turbo si before I got my z and I thought I knew what I was doing but quickly found out that I needed to learn a totally different way to launch and have car control.

I am really looking forward to getting back out there. I kind of hope the z does not sell by then so I can try to beat my old times. But I would also love to see what a new car could do.

 

I have finally started to get use to my car. The only problem I have is the stock bald tires. I can launch around 1500 rpm's and keep the tires from spinning but as soon as I give it gas they just break loose. I am hoping the track will let the tires stick, or maybe I can get my new tires before then.

 

Yeah, I drove my friend's JDM H22 Prelude down the track a long while ago and it was definitely different. I beat his time, though. I'd say that the RWD is a bit easier to prevent excessive wheelspin, but that also depends on the power level.

The track sprays VHT so it'd be stickier (not to mention less debris) there than on the street. If you launch on the streets, they're also worse for your tires as the surface is much rougher than it is on the track.

 

i am going to be slower.... assuming i can't find my boost leak... although i do have new tires and i am going to try a couple of new techniques so... yeah we will see how it goes

 

So what's the penalty for showing up and not running?

 

not much, you might get teased a bit but we're just out there to have fun so come on up if you have time.

 

Ya I figured as much, I'm going to try and find a pair of good cheap used rear tires to put on so I don't burn up mine.

 

Speak for yourself.

It is punishable by death.. at the very least, it will be castration.

 

If you help chris out he might take it easy on you. lol

 

Yeah, there are always ways around it. My leniency only goes so far, though.

 

good lord, guess everyone showing is gonna run.

 

I will be there as long as I don't have to go to court in South Dakota. Court date is set for Thursday that week, it takes two days to drive up there.

 

So who is still in?

 

None of that maybe BS, please.
