to bad we coulnd do a drag would been funny , your second time was
good though but if you do it more you can like feel wen te light is hitting te
green if ya know what i mean.its like you already start before its green but
so tight that its just green that wil make reaction faster and end time as well

Well for a stocker think I ran a nice time.What I do is holding it to like 3500-4000 rpm before take off, let clutch go out all the way and almost floring it
so tire slip some more around 5500 for my so it get pulled forward , at a point
you will got speed so the rpm want to drop from 5500 right before you floor it.
hope you can understand i a little.

but my reaction time van 2.47 and 1/4m 15.69 works for me

have fun

What?? lol

[7thgen.nick]

Ok, i just was able to sit down, other than in my car, and have something other than EMANAGE's NASTY interface open... jesus fuck i swear.

anyway.. NICE VIDEO bro! hellz yeah, lmao. mad skillz with editor

at this point i wish mine would get me to work, let alone 9psi....

not bad runs, just need to work on the launch is all. i need some work on that myself..

thanks for the shout out, that was sweet. i was siked. had to show the gfriend,


omfg i have the werst migrain ever over this damn emanage... im drivin my gfriends hoopdy tommorow to work and have to get up hella days early to get her to work first.. gd it!!!!!!!! gahhh.

everything would be fine if the damn fuel would work like its suppose to... think i need to can these rsx injecotrs and get the srts at the least, if not get a new piggyback.. but blahhhhhhhhhhh


anyone wanna buy an emanage? =)

[speedfoos]

Whoa Nick, if you think you're having trouble with RSX injectors and e-manage, I hear the SRT-4s are an absolute nightmare to get running right on it. Either stick with the RSX injectors, or yeah, dump the emanage and go the PCS or AEM F/IC if you're going to stay with a piggyback.

Gotta run to work!

Great vid man! The thing that hurts the most is the pro light. The track by me does the separate 3 yellows instead of all 3 at once, it helps a lot. Looks like a lot of fun though!

[speedfoos]

Damn. It's raining like crazy today. I was going to practice launches on the way into work, but wet roads + boost = zero control or traction!

Thanks for the links! My dad sent me several as well that I've been playing with. I'm on a mission to master this, so I'll attack it with my usual focus to get it down pat.

Yeah, in retrospect, the lights were probably a little off, but most of that was my poor driving!

[speedfoos]

OK, the exhaust vibes like a muthaphucka against the frame! Time to bring out a hammer and "Bertha the Persuader" again to make things fit correctly!!



Oh, and for those of you (like me) who had no idea how big 3" exhaust tubing really is, here's a picture. This is going to be a booger when I want to run it all the way back to a new muffler!

To put things in perspective, that's a 2 1/4" piece of charge piping next to it. And yes, the chimps working for the postal system bent both ends. <shakes fist>.

[MarchMadnessisM]

wut idiots its not hard its metal do they try n break shit i was lucky my head light bulbs made it ok haha but luckily my friend wrapped it with an insane amount of bubble wrap haha

[sql_civic]

I just got back to this thread and saw the vid. Nice work all around as usual. I have no driving tips other than to be safe. I like the way you gave credit to the Mrs first (smart man!). The shots of the torn up interior and sock alternator belt made me crack up was a good reminder of the journey you took with this build. For me, it's always the journey not the destination that is to be remembered. Enjoy the ride!

Oh, and thanks for the cred.

Cheers,
Carl

[speedfoos]

Thanks Carl, enjoy your virtual beer!

Yeah, we'll have been married for 10 years come this December. You don't make it this long without picking up a few tricks along the way. Like I've said before, this is the most fun I've had in years. I am going to keep on plugging away at the car until I get it exactly where I want it to be. Usually that means it will be in my garage, half torn apart, in the middle of a mod/upgrade. But that's where I want it to be when its not on the road!

Fixed my exhaust vibe issues. Bertha and I coaxed some subframe out of the way which I then MIG'd back up. Safety first, kids. It's kind of weird to hear the car without the exhaust leak I've had since finishing the turbo....it's almost quiet!

[speedfoos]

3" mandrel bends, flanges, and O2 bungs ordered.....custom Foos' Town 3" DP here I come.....

That means I will be selling my current DP for cheap. Basically whatever it will cost me to buy a roll of exhaust wrap, and some metal ties.

[7thgen.nick]

holy massive pipe batman! damn theres a difference in that 3 incher!

my evo 2 drags as it is, lol.


i went to town on my poor bumper with bertha the magic blade

[speedfoos]

Yep, it's a big bastard. That's why I think I'll just go with 3" up to where it meets up with my aftermarket 2 1/4" setup. I've got a 3" - 2 1/2" transition pipe on the way (thanks Dad!) to step it down. It should be fine at that point, if not I'll get some of that oval 3" pipe to run to the muffler. But that's much later.

Yeah man, me too on the bumper. Mine is still all crappified and nasty looking. That's a winter project to clean it up though. I'm not too concerned about how it looks right now.

Done playing a little Halo3 so its off to bed for this camper! GL on the rest of your "1-day" install Nick!

[HwNpRyDe_CiViC]

whoa!! i made the credits hahaha... good vid man.. u need be hittin them fast times heheh u will soon.. once u learn how to launch n drive that thing. also perfect teh tune n set up

[7thgen.nick]

hah hah hah. good one

i tried...


only other way i was going to be able to do it is by buying another car, or hell, renting one at the least. i work 55 hours a week and work 45min from home and shes my only car. so it basically left me with the weekend to TRY to do this... i got everything on and all, just need to tweak it some, besides the tune. so yeah.


im leavin for chicago tommorow morning with the ol'lady for a vacation/buisness trip.. ill be back sunday so ill mess around with her monday night.

i was able to drive her about 5miles down the road to another friends where im keepin it there int he backyard... so i mean once i get it started i can keep her going at low rpms, although when i up shift it leans out bad but then goes back to normal, again, with the injector map wayyy high. to be honest it also smells like burning oil, but i could be wrong and its just running way rich.

im thikin the problem is residing in the way i set my vacuum lines up though. i thought you had to make your vacuum lines go from your brake booster no? does that line ever see boost?
