I've registered for the Porsche Club autox this Sunday.

Anyone else planning to go with an FD?

Adam?

Got the new ST swaybars installed Saturday.

Yesterday the fenders got rolled. (Thanks Josh, the Eastwood Fender Roller works great!)

Tonight the fender liners go back in the front, probably with a little adjustment.

Tomorrow some tuning at the Dyno.

Next up I have to align the car. (alignment is pretty bad at the moment)

Following that the 285/30/18 Kumho V710's go on for a test drive and to get scuffed a bit.

 

Man you got 285s, I'm going to loss, lol.

 

We'll see. I haven't raced this car in 2.5 years.

This is a shakedown run.

Should be interesting, and a bit faster than the Miata.

 

i'm already registered!
crap you have v710's tho.. guess i'll get knocked down a notch on the ole ladder

btw you can just bring the roller on sunday, and i'll bring yo cash.


(nobody rob me plz)

 

I'm signed up too. I'm torn between the FB and my cop car though. I have some family that wants to go for rides so the ole Vic may be better. Plus all that POWAAAAH!

 

Cool, I'll throw it in the truck.

BTW, that tool works great!

 

Tuning done today.

347 WHP, 277 Torque

Thanks to Brian from TrackForged.

 

At what pressure? What were your air temps?

 

I'll DL the data from the Datalogit to be sure, but I think it was 13 lbs.

IIRC intake temp was 135f.

Oil temp was 180-185 at the pedestal, so that's what, about 205 at the pan?

Water temps were a lovely 190.

 

Nice! Congrats!

That's really good power at 13psi.

It would be a good idea for me to mod your Mocal oil thermostat to accept a temp sensor. I did it on mine and it provides very accurate temps that way.

 

13.23 psi

Yeah, a temp sensor in there is a great idea.

Winter project - I'm not ready to take it back apart yet.

 

What time does this start?

 

registration from 730-830 (limited entries), first car out at 9am

 

RX-7's made a good showing today, there were 4 I believe.

2 were in the top 10:

1 M1 41 Britain Smith 1974 Porsche 914-6 35.996 0.000 0.000

10 NP 197 Jared Still 1993 Mazda RX-7 39.315 0.285 3.319

Feeling pretty good about the first race in this car in 2.5 years.

Adam had an excellent run, 37.7

 

Nope, Adam beat me my 1.4 seconds. I thought I had a 38.66 as a best time, but I apparently nailed a cone on that run.

I've got a number of excuses for why I didn't do better, just ask.

 

0.18 off of beating that turbo Miata, Damnit.

Alignment Schignment, lol. No worries, I was the same way the first autocross this year, though I was on street tires, that was my excuse, hehe.

 

When is the next event?

I have to yank my motor to fix a stuck seal and rebuild a caliper, but I want to get a few days in this year

 

http://www.oregonpca.org/events/autocross/ax-schedule/

When you go to the registration page it will say "Approved Members Only" for the last 2 events for the year.

I've already asked what this means: Non PCA drivers cannot register until 2 weeks before the event.

 

theres an Alfa Romeo autox this sunday the 17th. theres almost no info on the net, but i emailed the club prez. should be fairly few cars, meaning lots of runs.
just show up at 730 at PIR as usual.
also SCCA is doing a two day deal a week into Sep. four seperate events over two days, and two courses. oh yah

 

Heheheheee... It says 84 RX-7, but it was really a 2001 Police Interceptor

The FB is on jackstands with no trans at the moment.

 

That explains why I don't remember seeing a fourth RX. By the way it was amusing and cool at the same time to see you run that police interceptor.
