I was riding in all videos. He butchered that run and it was by far his worst time of the day.
I'd say it was the most fun run of the day due to the drifting and was pretty convinced we were gonna spin.

Dyno plot too!

I have a small question about the AFRs used in the tune.
Could somebody PM me why they went for 12.8? I'd rather not discuss that in this thread.

 

That course looks awesome, better suited to high power cars unless the video is deceiving. The autocross i went to on the 30th was on a smaller course, less wide open, more complex driving. That definitely must have had a good amount of 3rd gear in it. Looks like fun.

 

Fast car, nice driving.

Definately need a remote mic for that camera setup though

 

Gulf greyhound park is awesome. A weird surface, but there is lots of room.

 

Nice! She climbs to 120mph real easy. Nice track as well.

 

exhaust sounds like a retarded kid getting mad cause you stole his frosted flakes.

 

There was drifting in that first video?? Slight oversteer from lead foot at corner exit doesn't count. =P

 

 

holy ****, that's a nice course, man we never have one that open...i guess courses too are bigger in texas, lol
very nice, im so jealous, im the envy nazy today

 

ur autox's have the lines for you where to go?? **** the ones around here just have cones. those lines must make it easier to not go off course.

 

holy **** large open auto-x course...I want something like that around here...:(

 

damn straight. I've never seen an autox course like that around here. Most are tight and technical.

 

that's fun - so that's the giant magnaflow? sounds a lot louder than I expected.

 

That exhaust is loud!!! No muffler, and a left exit.

yeah, our autoX courses are more like parking lot road courses than anything else. just no 100+ mph straights :(

 

Ok we'll call that oversteer...

He's gonna be putting a muffler on soon.

Yeah I like that lot for autocross. The cool thing is there are 3 different places all within an hour of me.

 

So what was up with the bad gas? Did anyone we know have problems?
Stephanie

 

The Shell station had their gas contaminated with diesel. Sadly, Matt put some of that gas in his car. It barely made it home and hasn't been running since last Sunday. He just got it running today after flushing the entire fuel system, TWICE.

I don't personally know anyone else affected by the bad gas, but there were a few Miatas and a Lotus that I know of.

 

I am glad it was a bad tank of Gas! I had a few moments of heartburn over his car not running. BTW - Corky laughed at me when I suggested it was a bad tank of gas. I guess not.

Ahahah nice one Steph! Are you still coming down here?
