well this was my first road course event . i think i did pretty good after i found out my rear shocks were set wrong the 500 mile drive with no radio and act race clutch sitting in 3+ hours of traffic also made the drive interesting. i learned alot about the car at the limit. i saw a bunch of people from the tristate area 2fast7s,gene, turborotor. we all had little problems that we resolved at the track 2fast7s had a ripped ic coupler, turborotor had failed leading coils, gene had a vacuum hose pop off. i was surprised that my TII never overheated the whole time on the track! the way home was *interesting* first low coolant sensor failed so for the first 2-3 hrs driving back all i heard was BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ after the second time we stopped for gas (turborotor)carlos figured out that if you ground out the connector it won't go off i dozed off at like 1:30 am after driving for about 4 hrs and did this to my car after tapping a guard rail. looks time its time for a repaint

the driving school did help me from not wrecking the car completely as i just tapped the guard rail instead of smacking it full on! other than my mishap i had a good time. i plan on attending the september mads hopefully with my FD and i am gonna bring a codriver it is just too long of a drive for anyone to do alone!


the few pix i took are here http://www.vosko.net/photos/mads02/

 

oh yeah i forgot my turbo is shot now too. so i need to get a another or rebuild this one

 

This was the best thing I've ever done. I wish It was closer and more often.

Vosko gave everyone a scare. I didn't see it happen but i was shocked when Mani told me what he saw when we pulled over.

We need more walkie talkies. they came useful. Just need to get real batteries next time.

Glad you had fun. I wish I coulda have made it. I'll be there in the fall. Whats wrong with the turbo?

 

turbo is puking oil everywhere

 

The damage is on the left side...did you drift across the other lane and hit the guardrail on the opposite side of the road? Or was it one direction with rails on both sides?

 

one direction rails on both sides. i actually caught it a little but couldn't get it over enough so i just tapped the front and rear.... here's a tip don't drive for 6 hrs late into the night

 

dude that sucks man...a "almost" dozed off driving my T2 back form buying it. i was on my 18th hour of driving with no sleep

at least you had fun on the track...bet you can't wait to take the FD down...majestic turbo for the FC rebuild...or yourself?

 

i have a few options 1) get a used turbo 2) get t04e upgraded stock turbo 3) get t04b and manifold from 13BAce 4) do a compression test and see if engine is good if its not get a jspec and it comes with a new turbo
