I can haz 13.4 now??? or wtf
 

well, when an axe (it can be spelled ax also...fuck u !!) don't work use a fucken chainsaw.....

I got the Hoosiers on the car for about 10 miles, did a couple of light burnouts to scuff them and a couple of half ass launches, I am unsure how january 8th will go because the car is nothing like before on launch , it's a lot softer down low with the 3071r (untuned) so there has to be a lot of trial and error and I just don't get enough passes to get my practice up.

So the plan for now is to run the street slicks at first on 24-25psi just to get used to the turbo , eventually I know these fuckers will end up at 10-12psi but I need to re learn to drag race and I am not going to do it half way in the middle of the lesson....

I drove them around 24.5 psi on the street and afer they were up to temperature I couldn't get 1st to spin from a roll, so they work decently and at that psi will be able to give me an honest comparison of mph between the ko4 and the 3071r (untuned) , if I get the flat foot shifting dialed in on ATR right hopefully I can see 110-111mph compared to my best of 107mph... eventually when the EBC and map is dialed in to net me 350whp I hope a 113-114mph with a 4k launch should be more than doable .

Well , enough for now...here s some pics of them on the car today.

hey i know that driveway!
center caps look fucking amazing!

they look like that one dudes hatch.....oh no, not anymore n/m

lenny, i posted in your old thread.

am only telling you here to sub to your thread.

Fuckin' epic! Can't wait to see what sort of results you'll get. Launching these big turbo cars is a bitch.

Oh, I still want those center caps... Lenny... Where can I get those so I can hook the NATOR MO guys up with them.

haha funny!!! (not as funny as my most likely failed attempt at a 12 lol)

pm cornerfreak.

im not a vendor man....im just a lovable teddy bear.. ask socks

and yes, launching this car now is stupid hard.... i either super bog it and get smoked by a fucken moped or I go in too hard and i spin still.... this is why I am not going to rush it...I have now 2 variables to learn.... the BT with lower tq down low and higher hp on top and the slicks that anything less than 4k will bog....

not only that, but you have a clutch that doesnt give you much option for in between.

oh yea... big teddy bear.

lenny, just sell the ms3, buy a genesis. then you can face the facts that you cant beat a moped.

when theres no hope, theres no dissappointment.

if he buys a genesis, will you promise to show him how to miss gears?

hahahahahah...... i bet when sean bought that car he was like..... "genesis... a new beginning....I like it, thats for me!!!"

and yeah i forgot, new clutch.... seriously I did a couple of 0-60 launches with dh to see and omg... im like a second slower hahahahahhahahah




/in b4 15 sec BT, fully bolted, clutched, slicks ms3 fail

there was no missing gears. you were misinformed.
















i put it from D into N. instead of from S to +...

i think he was talking about this sean.......



i can haz troll skillz now???

hahahha +1 on trolling skillz lenny

just make sure to launch in a gear that makes you go forward

hahahahaha
even bonnie's getting in on it. hahahaha

Lenny, are your front wheels 16x8? What brand are they?

you must be one BAMF driving around the streets on those haha

+1 for your super conservative and doable goals. not even dustin could live up to his 11 sec certainty when he went to the track and i always get greedy and expect more before i get there as well just to end up in failtown........

haha indeed, the next vid of the bunch was the genesis getting pwned by her ms3

ms3 > genesis

they are 16 x 7.5 ...... "special edition" model f7 .... bought em at tire rack like 60 a pop

oh ya.... nothing says badassmothafukka like running wrinkle walls on the street haha

man i had hopes and dreams when i got the stupid drag radials (nittos) and well u saw the epic pwnage the track did to me.... so I have to be humble and repsectful enough that a) the game isnt the same as how I knew it and b) my car now is a completely different vehicle than 2 months ago.

so, baby steps...... the truth of the matter is that I shouldn't be practitcing on the slicks, I should re learn to drive the new turbo from a launching before trying to incorporate what sort of used to work before..... cuz like wilkins said...its harder than a motherfucker to get a spot on launch now.

either way rule #1 hasnt changed...and i tell this to everyone that gets into drag racing, the most important goal u can set yourself is to improve the times from last time , the rest is time and practice.

[QUOTE=lenny127;665217]

Thanks Lenny, I have some 16x7 wheels and might need wider ones.

What is the widest tire size I can run on 16x7, how about 16x7.5 ?

depends on the tire.... but i would get at least 7.5 wide wheels....and at LEAST the tires I got (hoosiers quick time pro 26 x 9.5 x 16) because anything less with your power u might as well put on mud tires and go drag racing in the rain.

What tire size do you recommend to run on the street? 245-50-16 or 255-50-16?

on the street as in regular tires or drag radials???

I dont think there are too many drag radials out there for us... nittos 245-50-16 and not much else.

if its gonna be a regular street tire why would u wanna run em on 16s?

oh and here s the sales pitch, I have a set of basically new nittos for sale if u or anyone u know is interested....cuz at the track they are worthless

drag radials for the street on 16s. Yea, I saw your thread. tempting....

make an offer....... worst that can happen is i tell u to go fuck yourself. haha

I can haz ride to track?

Link? It happens, but im not sure there is a video of it.

you wont hear me disagree. but I couldnt do fwd again just yet.

oh you must mean this one where she gets me good off the line...

here u go........... u can clearly see that bonnie gave u the go so u could get a running start and she still ran .200 quicker


:neener:

Just don't break your transmission with the trial and error with those shoes.

No no no...

we WANT him to bust transmission...





















cuz i haz one for salez!

roy...if it makes u feel better shawn fucken spun out in the rain and crashed his ms3......

well , change of plans for me. the car powerwise is not ready for any record breaking runs lol ,......definitely makes more power than before, but the reality is that because of a few different priorities I have not spent any time practicing launches and this turbo is alot trickier to launch than the ko4. i either bog it or spin so much the car sits still for a second....I broke in the slicks but havent really practiced.

i am still going to go to the track and still am going to go run with slicks, but since the last time I went I have decided on a few things that I wont deviate from.

1) I wont do more than 1 run per 2-2.5hrs, last time I burned up my clutch and started developing a leak ....pushing the car too hard.
2) hate away, but I am first going to set a baseline mph so I know what I have to work with....this means I am not going to pay attention to ET, I will probably run the slicks at 20-24psi , spin em some and try to see what kind of a trap I can achieve.... I am going for 112mph.... (last time and best time was 107.5mph) so I am hoping I can reach this goal right now before I move on to the next step.
3) ill do a burnout but I am not going to fry my clutch trying to get max grip


well, this is my first step.....most of the "racing" I engage in is on the street, so for me street performance is more important than race performance. once i set a baseline mph I get consistently I will then start like I did so many years ago........... 60ft 60ft 60ft 60ft............the rest of the track doesnt exist, reality is that the launch is everything and that is what I will be working on after mph, even if they are just 330ft runs only and I coast the rest..

there are quite a few things that are not ready with the car and myself so I am not going into this track meet guns blazing, i have my plan and im sticking to it....I also need to get side mounts because I tried to get a good launch today by short shifting first and it was a nightmare of hop, i need to see what the options are.

anyways, lets go jan 8th guys!!

order the cpe mounts....

No shit? I just saw this post... That sucks man.. How bad?


Sent from my iPhone using lame ass Tapatalk

seriously sean i dont wanna pay that kinda money, too rich for my blood. idk....trz had great performance but i cant do that or anything like that. and swapping mounts for the track is not my style

I thought there was a 15-25% off coupon for ordering through cp-e?

that'd bring them under $400 for both mounts. not a bad deal.

what coupon?

this doesn't work.
http://www.mazdaspeedforums.org/foru...le-cp-e-66945/

Good shit man! Tires are looking slick. <pun intended You'll get there lenny. Like you've been saying, baby steps.




Hey Sean, I hope you had a rematch with Bonnie and won, because from where I'm sitting you're getting owned by a girl. And, not just any girl, your girl!! LOL!!


I talked to him on friday. It's not too bad considering how fast he was going. Front fenders and bumper are tweaked a bit. The front wheels are cocked to the right. Some suspension is fucked, but no engine damage. It's in the shop now. He should have it back in a few weeks. Insurance covered it all.

ive been told CPE will have a winter sale with 25% off again lenny, wait for that in the coming weeks.

i also cant believe your going to the track with no mounts, in for darkys response to this haha

12s are so 2010.. time for 11s or 10s :01:

slicks cushion the hopping more than hockey pucks..... plus im not retarded , I never stay on it when it hops bad...that just goes along with morons that dont know how to properly use their vehicle.

not trying to get out of trying for 12s, but seriously my only intent is to trap a 112mph..... the rest seriously will wait until I am ready with mounts, proper practice and a proper tune. remember more than likely i will get 3-4 runs tops, hardly any time to practice. but i might make the trip to balersfield after this saturday to show u guys the difference between fast vs slow tracks... differences of 3-4mph and up to .5 seconds off the ET.

but for now...traps traps traps.... remember guys ....stage 2 meth and fully bolted my car ran fastest of 107.5 mph ... and that is hardly impressive, while my BT will certainly add a few mph to the mix its not going to do what others do, nor do i care.

this is just about progress on the old silver that could (nt) .... we cannot all be stupid fast, some of us have to be mildly fast lol

That sale should bring all 3 mounts to about $420, not bad. Going to the track with no mounts is a bad idea, I got so much wheel hop last time I went.

well u guys assume this track has enough traction to hop lol.....

im thinking about the mounts, its just alot of money that i need to stop spending and also it makes the car unbearable, and its not the vibes it the noise from the clutch....idk ill see what options i have, i really just need to inject the stock mounts and call it a day.... in the end the reason why shit brakes its because it allowed to rock back and forth within the mount and the crevices between the rubber....once those spots are filled the metal aint gonna break.

lenny, the stock passenger motor mount is a hydraulic mount. its fluid filled. you cant fill it with epoxy or urethane.

The trans mount you can. But its not the best solution, thats what i did, and it definately needed new mounts.

Since you got slicks before mounts which was a bad idea, u should get a good clutch before mounts...


Or maybe mounts and a clutch...credit card time lol

He already haz clutch


Sent from my iPhone using lame ass Tapatalk

I see it now..

Dragging fwd with street clutch probably won't last to Long trying to get 12s...but its understandable its ur daily to? I'm assuming. I had one in my k20 hatch for about 2wks haha then went to a staged one.

throwback photo:
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...2/95238f2a.jpg

socks didn't have the cp-e mounts :(

i appreciate the advice guys, i bought some of this http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/mediawe...SevTSeSSSSSS--

and will proceed to fill the tranny mount. (im aware the passenger cannot be filled , and will not do shit to it)

thats all for now, try to keep in mind im not competing with the other heavy hitters and their 400+ whp cars, when I bought this car all I wanted was a solid mid 13 second street ride with 105mph trap.

what i do from this point on is more to have something that keeps up with the top performance cars (not the exotics)

also , slicks aside I want my car to be 100% identical on/off track,this is my daily driver and will stay in that form.

Good luck man. There have been a couple of guys pulling high 12's with just an intake, RMM and DRs. So I think you're doing right by focusing on 60'.

wow, i would love to see an ms3 with an intake and a rmm run 12s with drag radials or slicks.

Lenn, if you don't want to fuck with the passenger mount, but would still prefer something slightly firmer than stock, why don't you look into the Top Speed mount?

It's a good mount that retains the factory design only with a slightly more robust insert.

It might help and it's pretty reasonable. Look into it.

i did, and this seems reasonable. i will inject the urethane on the stock tmm and might buy the awr pmm

thanks

Sounds like same as usual at the track on Saturday.... JCMS07 > lenny127 haha. I'm going to try to get out of work so when I win I can say beaner turbo = BT before you learn to lauch the car.

oh i c , talkign smak..... we gonna have to do some sushi roll racing for the 95% of the members here (since they never heard of drag racing lol)

well i am gonna run the slicks, but i intend to run em at 25psi or so to get decent traps.... at that psi i can still probably hook in 2nd gear so I should be able to smoke u....

then again, everytime we go we get pwned for a number of reasons.... so im shooting for 14.5 at 98mph!!!!


u guys can quote me on this...... 13.4 @112 that is my goal for saturday. anything quicker and or faster and Ill be more than happy. (once i extablish repeatable traps then ill worry about ET)

to answer the OP : nope u cant niggah, sell the car and get a fucken old chevy

I cut 1.7 60fts with 0 wheel hop and the only mount I had was urethane filled rear mount. NO fancy dancy $500 dollar mounts. In fact ive never had wheel hop on the street either. EVER!!!!!

Have you tried launching the car now with more power on the street?

How is it?

It stins hard on the street but no wheel hop. I was thinking about doing a dig race with the mustang tomorrow. That would be epic if I could smoke him from a dig. LOL

where the fuck are the results to this?

Fail

Lenny thought you were gonna be on the drag strip today?

In before lengthy post of fail.

fail

launched the slicks at almost 4k...zero hop stock mounts. except rearmm

Weird no wheel hop??? what did you do to the rear mount??

thread title updated

hmmmmm okies

running slicks check
zero hop check

so far so good...whats the prablem...your running all stock mounts besides rear mount, Well no doubt if you were running the passenger&tranny mount you be golden, but you should have still done respectable...No? I know that answer isnt good by the sounds of things, but I gotta ask.

*edit* and besides 3071 mafia sticks together big fella ;)

^ lol


and for rear mount i have trz rmm.

i injected the tranny one but i dont think that shit cured inside and its still gooey so w/e..... zero hop at the track....zero! that is the single thing that went right...my launches improved a ton... unfortunately both the car and myself arent ready to match it..... with the lame trap i had and a 2.0 60ft i could have cut a 13.0 ..... that difference of .4 seconds is MY fail as a driver ..... the rest...idk...power just isnt there or i am not utilizing it correctly.

but.... i did guess that i would run a 13.4 .... but 110 lol.... 1/2 right

there are a couple of videos....we ll post em as soon as i figure out who has em

Well live to fight another day man...your setup is getting there..looking good..you have made alot of changes recently. I would suppose more time at the strip and get your mounts squared away, should be fine.

DO IT!!!

here is a 2.0 60ft followed by and awesome 4th gear miss..... yeah u heard right i missed 4th gear trying to powershift it....




here is me trying to do a burnout past the water and basically pulling out immediately..result is obvious ...no heat pure spin pure fail

Get a real tune. :poke:

On the first video you can see that bitch not spooling up until you are halfway through your 60.

You forgot to say "too soon junior".

lol car spools to full boost by 3300 if i want it to.....(believe me with the mbc this turbo spools as quick as a small turbo...go take a look at my logs and u will see)

i spent the last hour fast shifting and half powershifting 2-3 i got it enough to hold 8lbs of boost between gears, I need to keep practicing and bring that up to closer to 15-17lbs at least ,once that is down the 8th mph will go up 2-3mph and then ill work on the rest

Forgive me, it is late. I forgot you love to ride the clutch...

Feel free to insert smart ass remark about someones Mom or your sexual preference here.

im so tired and so beat from epic pwnage that i wont even say shit haha.... good times man , next time we need to actually achieve our goals!

glad u made it ese

Lenny I'm thinking mounts to reduce motor movement, shifter bushings to reduce shifter slop, and an STS to reduce throw distance (I think the SSPs increase throw effort too much)

Whose is the other silver 3? Looks like he had a 108 trap in the second race.

Maybe switch the drivers?












This coming from a lifetime bench racer, so abuse accordingly.

Need a camerman mod.

launch doesn't seem bad at all. go back to irvine and practice more. lol

launch was the ONLY shit i got right

Other driver is JCMS3

props for going out and doing it lenny - when's the next track day?

i wish it stayed warm enough here for the tracks to stay open year round :(

feb 5th cali speedway is the next one at the track i always go to which is a pos.


fomoso , which is the fast track that hooks and is everything we wish we had in socal is the one we are waiting to release the calendar of events.... so far is closed january because of fog and other reasons.....

im not giving up, did feel like dogshit yesterday but gt5 brought me back to reality lol
we are working with timing and meth nozzles to squeeze as much as i can and the rest its up to me to keep practicing on the street.

thanks for da support b

p.s. yeah u needz to get an open track soon so we can keep seeing that ever increasing gap u put on sean's slug

I can assist with the cameras next time by joining the following group. I am pretty damn good with one.

the day you give up is going to be a badddd day. rotan 4 lyfe.
yeah and i think my dad is ready to take his miata to the track too :) sean will be really sad when 2 miata's zoom right by him hahahhaa

rotan 4lyfe indeed!!

and i have a suspicion that sean will have a mazda once again and with a turbo... i can feel it.

how the fuck did u take that one panoramic picture?? when i left tech??

lenny, me thinks you should get a etune from dustin. he can discern real knock from noise, and maybe get your timing right up there. im fairly certain he was in on alot of the recent developments with the knock tables.

dont forget, for the longest time these cars have been tuned with the knock sensors being ignored after 5700rpms. now that we're able to "turn them on" over 5700, we're going to have to find the right sensitivity, between real knock readings, and false readings/noise.

dustin be da man?

hahah ya that sounds like a good idea

Grandstands with my cellular telephonic device. I'll load the few I shot with the GoPro later.

Lenny what size wheel tire setup are you running?

26 x 9.5 x 16 hoosier qtp on 16 x 7.5 special edition f7 wheels from tirerack
