So I entered 1051 in a street car competition

Tom posted right above you. I was thanking him for the kind words. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

First video is up. It shows the drag racing portion of the event, though the only passes shown with my car are garbage, IMO. My decent passes were in the dark at night, so that's understandable. But even my decent passes weren't that great with me only ending up with a 12.ohhhhhh. Oh well, the car traps 119 in the video, so not horrible. It trapped 121 the next couple of passes. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

nice!

man that RX7 was hookin and bookin

 

[turbowop]

That RX7 was fast. His car put down about 20whp less than my car, but it weighs so much less. Power to weight pwns me. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Cooo!!!

Dyno video is out. The numbers posted in the vid are a bit weird. They post peak horsepower, then below it they post the length of the powerband in rpm. So It looks like I made 424whp @ 1900rpm. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif I'm not even sure the whole powerband thing is accurate based on how they did the math to figure it out.

Anyway, it's not super entertaining, but here it is: click

Just out of curiosity what kind of gas millage are you getting?

 

[turbowop]

I don't really keep tabs on my fuel mileage, but during the competition we did an 80 mile drive to test economy and I placed 3rd getting 34mpg.

 

[conradical]

Getting almost 430hp and still getting 34mpg, eat it tesla. Haha that's pretty damn good.

They replaced the video with one that says "powerband" next to the RPM numbers. Here is the edited vid: click

Final video of the third day...finally:

Some quick decent footage of my car on the autocross course, but not much else.

 

[transparentdsm]

i think i wanna do some auto-x with my car now.

i really like the way your car and that WRX sounded in the video. everything else was to coffee can on the exhaust sounding to me..

 

[turbowop]

I can't tell how it sounds since I'm out of town for work and only seeing the video on my netbook, which has horrible sound.

BTW, my autox time at the end looks so horrible due to never getting a clean pass. One missed gate equals a 10 second penalty and each cone was two or three seconds if I recall. I missed a gate every single run. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

 

[prove_it]

That's what makes auto-x so hard. First summer I raced I always messed up. At times it's damn hard to see the line. Don't feel bad. I did live with the nickname cone killer for a while.

 

[Boostdtalon]

33 mpg is pretty sweet.

 

[coyotes]

cool shots of the car rolling, sounds good too. Too bad there is no uniqueness catagory in the challenge, the rest of those cars are just kinda.. been done. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hsugh.gif

we should try and have a NW VR4 meetup some time.. there's plenty in the area.

 

[transparentdsm]

there are so many nice VR4's up there, i might be inclined to come up for that.

 

[EHmotorsports]

that would be fun if we could get them off JSB
