I'm still talking with chris at banzai on which turbo to use for a single conversion among a few other toys i plan on getting after this trip. after that point i'm not betting on the 275's catching near as well.
Look at zinx and his set up. The way his car launches totally makes me hard

oh i did a ton better this time. got the turbo to be more responsive so the power was easier to use and got some angle mods. who knew you actually needed those

Nice!...I haven't tried drifting my car in about 4 or 5 years.
I'd like to get back into it. Just for fun.

But about Columbus:
It was AWESOME!
I was put into "forced induction sport" class.(essentially street class)
Then when as I was coming up to the staging lanes, the guy that runs IFO was giving me this weird look because I was on the MTs and skinnys.
He asked me if I had a full exhaust, to which I replied "All the way."
Then he pointed at my tires started to say something, so I cut him off and said
"I drove here 3 1/2 hours on these tires...No joke...ET streets and skinnys, Interstate and all!!"
Then he was like:
"WELL THEN!!..You deserve to be in this class."

But anyways, I took 2nd place in my "street class." I got $100, but no trophy.
I REALLY wanted a trophy.
I lost to a fully gutted wrx with a roll cage.
I not butt hurt about losing to him...I'm butt hurt that I didn't get a trophy.

WHAT!!!!????
My car is beat up. It's built to race, not show.
No joke...I've seen taxi cabs with better body work then mine.

Last time I was at Muncie I ran an 11.5.
In Columbus I qualified 1st with an 11.2.
Then during eliminations, I ran an 11.1.
Track prep was really nice there.

Not bad for a 1.3 liter on pump gas.

All of it will, along with heat shields for all the oil lines. Keeping it uncoated for now until we're sure nothing needs to be tweaked

Digitalsolo will be at the nationals, Azar will more than likely be getting hammered, but we could come back to my house and sit in the 7 and make engine, turbo, and bov noises.... maybe if the night goes well, steam the windows up a bit

I have 10.5x26 and they're real close to rubbing, so I wouldn't go any taller.
I'm sitting on all stock suspension so that might make a difference too...lol
A lot of the guys are going with 11.5x26 now with good results, so I'm gonna go with that for my next set.

Where exactly are they close to rubbing at? From my measurements it looks like it would be the closest to rubbing width wise (on the shock or trailing arm), not so much height. But then again I am mildly retarded and easily distracted by shiney things. Are your fenders rolled?
