Pretty much I am waiting for some o.1uF 50v Ceramic Capacitors for integrating the PLX with the Haltech they should be here this week. Downpipe is getting a bung then there is only a little tweak here and there get er fired and timed and get her to Quality to get the exhaust done. So hopefully if I have enough dollars it will be running this weekend. I just don't think I will have enough money for some Registration. So might have to wait a little bit.

Your telling me, I have had my car in storage all winter...and I didn't even get to drive it much when I first bought it. Now I've got a lot of goodies to throw on this weekend, then I finally get to drive it again.

Its something like 20 bucks for a race day if you run. Other than that its free to watch just need to sign in just in case you wanna ride in someones car.

We should also pay respects to Icemark if you already havent, I'm doing so now. There is a thread on the lounge page.

There shouldnt be any fee from what I know. Just showing up and paying the daily fee. And if you want to get on the list for the base days then you have to let them know ahead of time to get your name on. Or contact them by phone with enough time so they can make arrangements with the base. Thats about it from what I know.

Yes if you want to become a member there is a fee. But you do not have to become a member if you don't want to. It just makes races cheaper. So if you are just going to be doing a couple races throughout the year then I would suggest not becoming a member. If you are going to race every single race the entire season I would probably pay membership dues.

sorry for the wait but here is a little info about my TII: asking 2500 obo.

it's a 87 tII pretty much all stock ~89k on motor (swapped it from parts car) with hks ssqv bov and just recently put a s5 turbo on and it pulls solid at 7psi now, unlike my creepy s4 that was hitting 15

the motor that is in it now runs fine and fires up all the time but has an issue with dropping back to idle during deceleration causing it to sometimes die. other than that it runs great and i dd it for maybe 3 or 4 months with minor issues.

any more questions feel free to get ahold of me here or gimme a call/text at 406 2024583. if i don't answer just shoot a text i don't check my voicemail very often


i also have many s4 tii spare parts that i will most likely not need for my new build

i will try and get some pics up here soon

We've got a 1st gen mostly stock RX7. We traded some mechanical work for a pair of cars. Stripped them out, put on a fresh coat of black paint w/stripe and went racing. Because we stripped it we have to run in the prepaired class but it's basicly stock, so we get beat by the minivan with racing tires. Oh well it just for fun right now (LOW BUDGET).

A little more info on the SCCA prices the test and tune in Helena is $15 Saturday with $5 for the BBQ if you want to go, Sunday is $25 (for SCCA members) non members will pay an extra $15 (covers both days insurance). That is if they can find someone to tow the timing trailer down and get a couple of offical's to go (it may be a bust, Don't know for sure right now) Check their web site.
SCCA national membership is $80 for a year $0 for region dues (you can get a $15 discount on that, check the SCCA site) so you save $15 on every local meet (I think)

Thanks for info on TII, a little over my budget right now!

Loren

So I got the FC finally tuned!! Boy does she haul ***! I am looking forward to some dyno time when Ransom is ready. I have a little bit of fine tuning to do on the dyno but for the most part all my AFR's are linear and I haven't had any knock over 34 on my datalogs which is very nice!

I am only pushing 15 psi right now and I honestly dont think I am gonna go any higher. I probably could go higher because of my S4 rotors and somewhat retarded timing BUT we will see. Maybe for fun once on the dyno.

I think I am probably putting 350-360 to the wheels right now. I don't think my LSD is gonna last.
