Rep Power: 328

Just came back from NOPI
The D17 build and the custom turbo, fuel system, computer set up worked inmaculate, no problems at all!
I drove 460 miles to Atlanta doing between 80 and 100 mph and only used a tank and 3/4's of gas on the way there.
I drove back and forward from the show to the hotel and diner with the guys push the car a few times.
Then on the way back to Orlando another 460 miles but I push the car hard and toyed around with a few high end cars and embarased the shish out of them.
I took the speedometer to the 150 limit and was flying down I-75 for about 50miles straight and only used 2 tanks full of gas by the time I got home.
I'm getting very good gas milage!
I used up 1/8 of oil for the full trip.

Took first place at NOPI
I'm proud of my Vic, and now I'm off to get groceries with it.

You've probably got the best setup for the d17 in the entire country. Hands down unless someone else can step up to the plate. Glad you didn't swap and prove to ppl the D17 CAN BE FAST...... for a price though lol

Very jealous... congrats man.

so what kinda cars did u beat??? i wanna know

 
Rep Power: 328

Well , there was a newer model Acura TL that cut me off then came back and sat side by side for awhile so I got tired of his *** then down shifted to 4th gear and floor it passing an IS 300 on the way then he joined the race so by the time I shifted to 5th I was doing 150+.
I saw them getting smaller and smaller on my rear view mirror then they just got back and hid behind a semi and never saw them again.
But a SLK 3000 got in my *** right after and it was hard to shake, that car was hard to shake I had to chnage my setting on my boost controler to high boost 18 psi finnaly it just gave up after 30 miles of speeding but never passed me.
Then I just slowed down and chill the rest of the way.
The wife was not happy Still have her finger nail prints on her side of the dash.
I was loaded besides my fiber glass box subs etc I had lugage a tent and passenger.
I stoped at a rest place to check if all was OK and I had no problems ,the car started right back and I got on my way.

Congrats Supermex! Everything looks clean and great! I have been looking for new rims for the last two weeks and have had my eye on those Axis Reverbs. What size are they... 18"? And do you have any close up pics of them? Thanks man!

Well obviously hector got mad cause i said that because he pm me talking **** cause i asked to see the dyno, I don't know that would affend him so much but i guess it did and who knows why. He also thinks i won't get 300whp with just a turbo system so just stay tuned. but nice stuff hector keep it up and stop harrassing me through pm.

 
Rep Power: 396

PM's are there just for the reason of working out problems too. He obviously didnt want to clutter up the thread, as you have just done with your post, so please keep this thread on track.

Hector, did you have an problems with heating on the drive up or back? I know it was quite hot that weekend.

 
Rep Power: 281

actually the temps weren't so bad in GA. i don't think it got above 90 for the whole weekend. but i could be wrong


i'll say it again Hector.....the 'vic is HAWT MANG!!!

 
Rep Power: 328

I didn't have any trouble with that, it wasn't that hot while I was driving to Atlanta cause I left at 4am on the morning.
On the way back it was raining and sort of cool.
I got lucky
the day of the show was very hot but the car didn't moved.

American Motorsports in north orlando is a great source for the fuel and nitrous.
CTF have it too.
