Dash looks wonderful, definitely something I've toyed with for a long time, just been too busy with other junk. Moved it up on the list of things to do :) Any suggestions on how you placed the seams and made templates, or just lots of trial and error?

Of course the higher boost made the difference, that's the whole point. As I stated in my original post, we're seeing 15-30rwhp gains when compared apples to apples at the same boost. It's like comparing pump gas to race gas; the gains are due more to the ability to be more aggressive, not...

Keep political B.S. out of this thread and in off topic where it belongs. We're talking about fuels for sports cars. There IS NO POWER LOSS with E85. Obviously you have to correct for the difference in energy density, but that's done more with injector sizing than anything. Once you retune it...

What plugs and gap are you running? The higher the cylinder pressure, the harder it is to light off that spark. I recommend copper plugs and running your gap down to .018 to .020.

I can't verify that, but the cool little strip on that differential will change colors based on temperature. Looks like a pretty serious race piece, so I doubt an amateur threw it together. Keep in mind that a few non-factory teams raced Mk3's in different series, and there's no guarantee that...

I'll be there with these guys ^

That's just like saying drag racing isn't real racing, it's handicap racing for people who can't brake or turn. You know full well the compromises that have to be made to set a car up for drag racing. Most people don't want a car JUST for drag racing, which is where roll racing comes in. Not...

I destroyed four of mine the day I turned the boost past 14 psi on a stock turbo. AFR's were perfect, motor was healthy, etc. A couple of other local cars did the same thing. NPR pistons are junk. I've heard of two instances recently where non-OEM freeze plugs blew out. One caused engine...

We need updates you pirate hooker whore.

I would post up a build thread for ours, but it's already built, just refining it now. Mk3's really aren't bad track cars, we're gunning to outrun the spec Miatas that two of our team members own and drive with this next round of rehab and repair, I've still got more weight to pull out of our...

That's called a cold start with big duration cams, it's tough to tune around that even with a good standalone, let alone with piggybacks. The GTR sounded fantastic under boost, although the driver was obviously inexperienced. Good to see somebody on the track instead of being a forum potato, who...

I see new tires :) They look like Star Specs, what do you think of them?

Ha, that's way funny that we have the same number, we had a different number in April but for whatever reason they assigned us another one for the race a couple of weekends ago. That picture is from two weekends ago in Houston at the YeeHaw It's Texas event. We won't have the car back together...

Glad to see we've got company :)

When I see a car with terrible paint I always know that most everything else on the car reflects the amount of care and expenditure that was given to the exterior. I totally understand leaving a car stock body. I totally understand waiting to paint a car until the mechanicals are done. I do...

The pearl white car looks clean, but the bodykit on the red car is going to give me some nightmares tonight.

Like factory parts :)

If you cut the mounting tabs on your engine stand shorter you can use factory transmission bolts. I do this on every engine stand I buy.

You've got a good car there, it's rejecting the Veilside transplant. Just don't give it any antibiotics and it should clear up the rest of the fiberglass for you.
