He's at every 86CUP event. Breaking all the records. hahaha 1:56 at Buttonwillow is WTF FAST.

oonowindoo

well he's got $$ and been going to the track as far as i can remember.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Yep. He's a FAST driver for sure.

This is the S2K Challenge results for their events:



I did 2:09 at Buttonwillow. That was my second time ever and first time with the coilovers. I think I can get it down to 2:06-07. Seems like that can make things pretty competitive.

I've seen that before! I think that driver is Mike Kang @ CSG. He's one of the fastest guys at 86CUP.

The pictures in this review are amazing. I love them. Pretty cool review to read too.

As cool as the Ford may be these days, I'd still prefer the BRZ...

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, I had a tuned Mazdaspeed3 for three years. I know how fast and practical the hot hatches can be.

It was like three times faster than my BRZ is, but my BRZ is like 1000 times more fun to drive than MS3.

Yumcha

Have you driven the new Civic Si, A...?

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Civic?? What Civic Si?

oonowindoo

that one that they sell at Acura dealer as the ILX.

By the way, Jackson Racing and Church Tuning in LA are doing a FRS/BRZ dyno day. I'll be participating. Just want to see how low my numbers actually are. Only $40.

It'll be great to check out other systems including Supercharger and Turbocharger on a same day.

oonowindoo

Don't take the #s too seriously as you did not have a baseline to compare when it was 100% stock. whether the # is 150 or 190. It does not really matter.

What matters is see the difference between your # and other cars with mods that you will get in the future, so you know the real gains.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

I don't. I just want to have one for fun. My engine is pretty much stock.

My engine mods are: K&N drop-in filter and a track pipe. I'm sure they don't do shit anyway.

It's still pretty much a baseline for me.

This is exactly the reason why I'm doing this dyno day. There will be at least 20 FRS/BRZ with different mod combos including JRSC and several turbocharged ones.

oonowindoo

So it is a opportunity for you to buy more things for $100.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

It'll definitely boost my motivation to shop more stuff with $100 in the future, like a JR Supercharger.

Surely, you negotiated 8 runs for $100.



Does the cost include ECU calibrations between pulls? Or is it strictly 3 dyno pulls to see what the highest reading is?

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

haha I negotiate everything, EVERYTHING!!

This is what they have stated in the thread:

What is a dyno day? It's an open-house event where we offer discounted baseline dyno runs. No tuning is done on a dyno day as we want to keep the cars moving so everyone who wants to run gets a chance. Any and all FR-S/BRZ's are welcome to attend.

How it works: Dyno days are run on a first come basis. When you arrive, you'll want to come to the registration booth and register. We'll give you a dyno waiver sheet that you sign and fill out your name/car info; this will also have your run number on it. You will hang onto the sheet until your number is up. When you pull in, you will hand the sheet to the dyno operator who will put all of the info into the computer so that your runs are saved under your name.

where the fuck is Wilmington?

Can i go? i want to dyno my car.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Close to Torrance.

Let me ask if I can bring a friend.

oonowindoo

iTrader: (15)

What car? We haven't seen pics of your car yet...

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Meh, they said unfortunately they can't do it. They are keeping it only FRS/BRZ for that day to dyno as many as possible to compare different set-up.

It's in the General Discussion thread. lol

oonowindoo

bish... tell them to compare these nuts!

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

OMG I won a free track day and a lot of other goodies from this Facebook contest.

Going back to Streets of Willow tomorrow for the twilight event!!!!!

A semi pro racer will give a ride in his car too!!!!

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

If you own a 86, you MUST take it to the track.

Please. Try it once at least. No need to prep. Just go.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Didn't even bother to check the laptimes today. It was way too hot. All sessions were like 100 degrees even though it was a twilight day.

SO MUCH FUN NONETHELESS.

Yumcha

Yep, looks fun.

If you had to replace this car or upgrade shall say
What would you go with?

oonowindoo

M3 naturally.. wait... nvm.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

The only one in my mind is Cayman GTS/GT4. Nothing else.

asianspec

iTrader: (1)

but the new civic type-r is faster than the m3 on the nurburgring.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

I don't care if it's faster than P1. It's about dem feelz.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Got it for $30.

I kinda broke my OEM shift knob at the track while downshifting hard. The top part was rotating a little bit after that incident. This happened after I bought this shift knob off the forum. haha

Anyway, looks and feels good for $30! I think this is like $110 brand new.

R stands for Rice.

oonowindoo

good luck shifting that after baking under the sun for a whole day.

JS + XES

My car is never parked under the sun!!!!!!

And I still have those cloth condom looking cover from MS3 days. Just have to locate it at home.
