Winter 08 build: The track package

[White Comet]

ok thanks. i was just curious since some people say you need to repin a few wires but that didnt sound right to me

[Bumnah]

My friend finally sent me some pictures from Summit Point. I like this one, so I uploaded it:

[nevertheless]

I spy Red Stripe and nicely done fenders.

You need something to get you through the monotony of fender rolling.

WHOA a twin!

[Didderson]

Lol someones feeling rambunctious tonight...

It's probably called proper alloted suspension travel keegan... But who knows how much is best.. Not even I do (woah high horse lawl jk). I guess it depends on the roughness of the track.

I noticed that ride height too though Looks just fine Bumnah lol

I asked u on aim the other day if you had rocker arm stoppers man. Get back to me on here about that i guess

You messaged me on AIM? But no, no rocker arm stoppers.

[Didderson]

Hmmmm. Your thoughts?

Is the oem program for the ECU rev limited at 7500 anyway?

[mrgreeneyes]

bumnah, i heart you.

but hell, im a lancaster kid at heart. gotta clown the fact i can see UNDER your car.

but your car must handle like a monster. mine handled better raised, but never looked super sweet.

im all about aesthetics, thats why my suspension is orange

btw, once this "snow"/doodoo weather clears up... ill have wider tires again

[Bumnah]

Couldn't tell you, I've never looked into them.

SR rev limiter is if you're driving hard and don't shift soon enough.

If you go from 3rd to 2nd by accident, the rev limiter isn't going to do anything then.

[nissan_star]

are you going to get a wing? Sorry if you already posted about this, I haven't been keeping up with the thread

It looks great though!!!

[Bumnah]

The only thing the car needs is more track time.

My goal in 2010 is to keep it cool, and in one piece.

I won't be surprised if the motor blows sometime this year. I'm still not burning any oil, so I think the turbo may go before the motor does.

[nissan_star]

Wah!? Your motor is going to blow in 21 days, this year or within a year? Maybe you are just being paranoid...

[Bumnah]

Start ragging the car at a track and see how much abuse you put on the motor. 30 - 40 min sessions going at it full throttle. It's not easy for an engine, especially one from an early 90s Nissan that spend a good chuck of it's time sitting in a warehouse somewhere.

[mrgreeneyes]

true dat.

hence my plan to rebuild to zero-miles condition pre-swap.

no way im pushing a 15+ yr old motor to 350whp and expecting it to last...

[nissan_star]

yeah, thats a little different then drifting sessions of 2-5 min with plenty of downtime in between.

[Bumnah]

I think drivetrain abuse is more the concern with drifting. I recently started respecting people who can hold the car at the very extreme limit. I'll most probably never build a drift car, but I have to respect the skills some.

More pix.

[Didderson]

HEY lol. WTF is that guy in your avatar?

LOL the new one is hilarious.

Nice pic again. I DREAM of real track time. None of this cone dodging BS

[mrgreeneyes]

Don't let this bastard fool you guys, he knows VIN a little too well... he's his "driving instructor" on the weekends.....

yeah.... i found this RAW, UNEDITED version of his track day... see the truth for yourself

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Keegan, you're just jealous cause you couldn't catch him in your Celica.

You always want it Raw, just like your mother.

[hbpignosePA]

[Ender_Zero]

I'm digging the stars, when were those installed?

In all seriousness I love your car. Leave Vin at home in the basement next time though.

[Didderson]

Oh man... Best laughter from thread pics in... a long a** time HAHA.

Great job all lol. I know you spent lots of time on those stars keegan hahahaha.... Err i think so s***s great

just noticed the license plate lol

bumnah, my mother is a saint.

[Bumnah]

Chased him all through the turns. Left me on the straights. I had over heating issues, so I never took it past 120 on the straight. Damn I'm ready to go back to the track.

[Didderson]

Don't let 'im get awayyy!

Are you planning on downforce body mods? Do you think you need/want any?
