What are we seeing?

JENZ · 02-01-2014, 06:36 PM

I dunno...... your car!!!!!!!!

SS_Firehawk · 02-01-2014, 07:21 PM

If we are meeting up, let me know, I'll be heading to the NW side of town in a couple hours. My car needs a serious bath.

Infamous · 02-01-2014, 10:39 PM

Ha sorry jen. We did a quick drive on bd to i15 and back. It was a spur of the moment thing.

SS_Firehawk · 02-01-2014, 11:08 PM

Yeah, definitely. We had a bit of fun. I had to go to my sister's, so it was a quick 30 min. Both cars ran strong, it was good fun.

JENZ · 02-01-2014, 11:21 PM

It's cool. Not like I'd be able to keep up!!!!

Coilovers and camber parts are getting installed next weekend!!!!

Hotrodz · 02-01-2014, 11:22 PM

I would love to get together with you guys sometime here in the near future. Three boosted cars with three different sits ups!!!

Infamous · 02-01-2014, 11:24 PM

Where abouts do you live hotrodz? FI TT, correct?

JENZ · 02-01-2014, 11:25 PM

I'd love to see the FI TT kit!

Although I am really starting to dig the BP kit too! The one thing I see as a hiccup there is the placement of the intake filter. It's great to have it right on the turbine, however it seems like one good puddle would do you in. That worries me because as we all know, sometimes our Vegas roads get some deep puddles that are deceptive in appearance. At least from what I've seen on Durango or on Buffalo between Warm Springs and Blue Diamond.

I live in Kingman, AZ. I'm about 1.5 hour from Vegas. Me and my wife come there fairly often for shopping, food and entertainment. She bought me some lap time a the Richard Petty Experience for my birthday back in June, so I think we are going to head to Vegas the weekend of the 22nd for that. Yes, I have the FI TT kit.

I hear ya on the deep puddles, but they should not be a problem unless you are speeding through them or the water is more than two feet high, then you shouldn't be driving across anything like that anyway. I think you might change your mine anyway after you see the numbers with e85. If they are anything like the numbers on race fuel, well that will be ridiculous for a stage 1 setup.

Tony said that if I took a ride in your car I'd be speeding up my long-term plan to go TT.

As far as the BP kit goes... I am still super weary of the placement.... big puddles or small puddles, I like the peace-of-mind of the intake not being down there. I wonder if there is enough room for an elbow to try and relocate the filter..... Infamous... we need to put your car on a lift.

Come down to Ryan's work sometime soon so we can poke and prod your new toy!

I know what you mean about peace of mind. I hate worrying about my car and that is why I went with FI's TT.

I will let you know when I come to town and maybe we all can get together. It's a rush to be pushed back in your seat and feel the power as the car pulls and pulls some more.

SS_Firehawk · 02-01-2014, 11:33 PM

For sure! That BP kit looks so clean. I could clearly hear the car spool up and just slingshot forward. I definitely noticed his midrange was stronger. I had to be in the right gear to keep my car over 5k to keep up. Once I was there, we were running door to door. I might have been pulling a bit at the top end, regardless, it was a blast. I really wanna see your car Hotrodz. I hate to hear the bickering between which kits are best, I'm a big fan of all of them. Each one delivers 100% of what they advertise.

FYI Infamous, what was that Stang doing? He was engulfed in exhaust fumes and tire.

That stang was feeling left out and left behind! I'm still scared to push the car past 6500 rpm and wot until I get a proper tune. I like how he took off at the rainbow light on us. That's awesome hotrodz, I wanted the FI kit before my accident and replacement BP z.
