So after what seems like forever, I finally had time on my birthday to teardown the interior and fix all the little issues behind the dash that have arisen with a couple years of street and track driving. Took the whole dash apart and cleaned EVERYTHING, and made sure every last screw was snug and secure. now the whole car is starting to get more streetable. I'm planning on getting it re-tuned by weeks' end! ![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif)

Thank you, sir!

I was fortunate enough to come across one of only a handful of belted dynojet dynos' in the world! Another way of saying I was able to get it on the rollers, I didn't get a printout, as I was the last person and they were all on the way out the door. I'll try and get a printout soon, Clark did his thing and It's sitting pretty around 300 WHP with maxed injectors and we didn't even go over 20 PSI this time.

Nice bit of incriminating youtube evidence there ![Cuckoo](images/smilies/cuckoo.gif)
Just pray the cops don't see that![Nono](images/smilies/nono.gif)
Would personally keep that kind of driving to the track![Idea](images/smilies/idea.gif)
Btw, what's the gauge on the left? I saw that giving a red warning lamp a few times...

I Just got it tuned, and the closest track is 5+ hours from my house. the only way to make sure it wasn't going to explode was to test it out. I don't drive like that all the time. ![Wink](images/smilies/wink.gif)
The gauge is the boost gauge, I didn't adjust the warning lights after pulling the battery....oops.

Trackday was awesome, burst an upper Rad. hose but had a replacement in hand and installed and back on the track and running strong in under 2 hours!
had camera issues after the 3 time out but I did manage to get a couple videos of the early sessions. As far as I can tell from the videos I was running between 1 36's to 1 43'; not bad for first time at that track, I know I could have carried more speed through about half the corners, but I did have to drive it 3 hours through LA traffic to get home, So I had to drive uber conservative and save my tires and brakes. No off-track excursions, and had a great time, spent a few hours on the track getting accustom to the new tune and tires. just about zero rubbing, maybe one or two more times 'massaging the fenders' and I should have the rubbing all but eliminated.

Got a new dyno sheet
BEFORE:
274 WHP W/ 91 Oct.
(made 286 @21 PSI on 100 oct)
![](http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h78/john25rs/88762900.jpg)
NEW
New DP, WG actuator, and Prodrive 3-port.
this was at 19PSI with 91 octane,
![](http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h78/john25rs/New%20project%20II%20pictures/John.jpg)
294WHP
With the new parts and re-tune; Top end drop-off has been eliminated, and track-tested to pull hard right up to the 8250 rev-limit!
No torque curve though....
don't know WTF is up with that, but whatever.
I figure with a 25% drivetrain loss, that's about 368HP at the crank. Not to Shabby for mostly factory ****.
Oh, and I still run Stock paper air filters too.

Spent a couple nights in Los Angeles to help with a street racing scene in a movie, had a great time, even though it was kinda cold. 'Born To Race' is going to be the name of the movie, should be available early next year.

Looking good. Nice to see the work paying off.
Least your daughter helps. Last time I asked my son to help me he hit my front wing with a ratchet "because he wanted to hear what it sounded like" ? lol
Keep up the good work buddy.

I know how that goes... My daughters' favorite tool is the pellet-filled rubber mallet.
the shaky hammer!!
think what kind of carnage a toddler can do to with that!!

I picked up the Grey trunk release lever, so now my flat fuel door project is 100% complete. Looks and works great. I bought the same paint so it's a perfect color match.

Oh, and I embarrassed some guy in his convertible gallardo trying to keep up with me on the backroads.![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif)
Should be getting the injectors on Wed.; then Friday for a re-tune before track day on Sat. at PIR. Should be a fun weekend.

750cc's installed and road tuned. runs good, going to dyno tune it soon.
Had a GREAT time at the track this past weekend, lots of family and local friends came to watch me tear it up at PIR. Car is a few seconds quicker now with new injectors, didn't get to dyno tune it, had to do a quick road tune, but it was good. Have a small list of things I'd like to address before I hit the track again; next track day is in JAN.

Had to replace the TI exhaust; it developed a hole after making contact with a halfshaft during an off-track 'excursion'. Going to try and repair it when I have time. Now running a Blitz Nur-spec R with longer hangers to provide more clearance for driveshaft and rear bumper. sounds good too.
replaced the fuel pump before I went to phoenix for a weekend at the track. had a great time, car ran good, the tune is a little off with the new exhaust. but running strong.

There's another trackday at the same track in Feb; I'd like to make it back out there and try and figure out the boost spike issues I was having.

Another successful Weekend of Driving, drove 800km from home; straight to the drag strip, unloaded my gear, and managed a 12.8 @ 108 with a bad launch and a 2.1 60'.
Next day, Ran two different tracks, Firebird West for 3 sessions, and Firebird Main for 3 more sessions, 2 at night! I love night racing, reminds me of street racing Pre-Fast&Furious days when the Underground racing scene was still.......you know, underground? And not so Mainstream. But I much prefer fully Legal and longer racing at the track.
I still have to edit and upload the day and night footage from Firebird main, but here's a couple quick clips from Firebird West, in Chandler, AZ.
