Thanks man^

Finally got a solid test day in for the first time in 18 months. 1 practice run, and had to go straight into qualifying.

Qual'd 7th, and went out in top 8 against spike chen. Felt good to finally drive this thing and have it perform flawlessly for the first time in years.

 

Congrats!

Spike Chen with the LS1? I met him when he came up for Formula Drift Seattle, good guy.

 

Yea his car is pretty quick. Supercharged ls6 is what i thought it was from what everyone said. Cool guy for sure.

 

did hell just freeze over? haha

congrats, man. You've definitely been working hard for it. Car sounded good in that vid you posted too.

 

Idk man im still waiting to wake up from this dream to be honest hahaha just sessioned it for 4hrs tonight at get nuts labs with everyone. Car took it like a champ. Cycled a tank of gas out of it. Surprisingly gets good mpg for being on e85. Better than my last conventional fuel setup.

Thanks btw! I appreciate it dude! Now i gotta get out of debt and make some more eventslol

 

Rolling to the event.


Got paired up in top 16 with Kasey King of triple crown drift. (600hp 2jz) car was stupid quick for being big...


Today we went to Get Nuts Labs. Drifted the FC for a few hours. Ran it out of gas drifting 2 times.... Scared the shxt out of me.... Lol was all good though aside from burning gas and tires.

I'm sure you've seen this.

 

Are you guys not allowed to tandem? Not sure how things are over there. No cages maybe?

 

If you dont have a cage you cant tandem. Everyone in that video had cages since it was top 16.

Thanks for the post mike and congrats!

Fresh REW build using Rotary Aviation Super Seals and a total overhaul kit thanks to Laura and Dominic at RA for their continued support. Going on 4yrs strong with these awesome folks! Gloss-Factory matched rotor housing paint to the exterior color of the car as well.


The fit and quality of the Turblown Engineering twinscroll manifold is awesome. I got paired up with twin Turbosmart USA Comp 40 external wastegates for ultimate pressure stability.


Along with the new Turbo by Garrett GTX4088R. Our programs engineer set us up with the 1.06a/r unit. Huge difference in response over the years prior GT35 setup.


More posts to come after we get settled in to our new facility this week.
