14.083 @ 98 mph

This was @ carlsbad raceway. I just got home but I have to go to work, I'll post the exact slips when i get back.

Damn 13's .............................. oh well, next time.
 
Man, you low 14sec guys are making me feel very bad!!...I can't brake into 14s hehe not yet atleast. Very Nice time by the way.
 
I had a friend there in his GVR4 who ran 12.9's and said he saw your runs. That's a good job at Carlsbad Rally.....errrr Raceway.
 
rpm launch>?

whats up, my names Rice, im brand new to the Mazda world. I just picked me up an 03.5 Mspeed and I love it. Im practicing on my launching and break boosting. The break boosting is coming along, but my launchin is a little off. I keep bogging down and its frustrating the s*** ouutta me. I was just wondering about what rpm range do u launch ur car off the line?
 
I had a long ass reply to everyone then my computer overheated and shut down. AAARRRRGGGGG!!!! I hate that s***. But Ill try and answer to everyone again but not so detailed, sorry.

Equinox I was crying also, when I hit 14.0 I was like come one just give it to me. After 11 tries I gave up.

Striker187 I have an upgraded rad, I/C, mbc & fcd from Joe, and thats about all. I had a cai but took it off b/c I would hit cut too easy before the fcd was on so I still have a sri intake. I want to put the cai on again and see if it makes a difference on the track. Until next time though.

InsidiousMSP I was running @ 14 psi. I wish I had an exhaust but its stock right now. I think I would run a 13.8 if I had the exhaust done if not faster. Im pretty sure Ill be in the really low 13s with some drag radials along with the exhaust. I want to upgrade the clutch in the near future, I think that will help a lot. What psi were you running for the 14.3 run?

Projectzoom good looking. hopefully next week I can make it out and see if a cai can get me to 13.9999999999 =)

Vassago thanks. they are just toying with my emotions.

CustomMSP thanks. I forgot what mods you had? Ill look it up tonight but if I remember correctly you should be around mid 14s with what you have. It just takes practice practice practice. I red lighted quite a few times, twice was b/c one lane would make you roll slightly the others were cause I wanted a perfect light.

MPREZYA ahh yes the galant. Very cool guy, tell him I said wassup. He said he was mad about the 12.9, I would be happy. I wish I could roll up to the line and not burn out or even have to brush the rocks off the tires, thats the power of AWD. You should come out if you are in the area . . . but yeah the rally to get there sucks! Its the closest though. If only barona was a dammit.

RAAZ227 13s will be nice, just to see it on the time slip. Good luck with the sti, my friend has one. Still learning how to drive with the awd, power, and race tires. He already bent a rim and control arm.

mspeed03point5 youll get use to the car and learn how to drive it. I sucked @ first and was mad b/c it was kinda embarrassing. I use to launch at all different kinds of rpms and either it would bog or spin and have wheel hop. I would suggest getting the front motor mount changed so you can launch around 3000 rpms. That is where about I launch right now and feather it.
 
Yeah my friend was pissed because his fuel tuning got messed up once he turned up the boost on his FP Green turbo (T4 wheel in a mitsu center/exhaust). For being on pump gas it was pretty good and with the MPH he's definetly worthy of mid 12's. I have a feeling once he's tuned it may be possible for low 12's @112-114mph on 91 octane. Race gas look out.


I also think I've seen your MSP around El Camino Real as it was one of the first I had seen locally (at least 6-8months ago). I vaugely remember seeing the FMIC with dealer plates still on it.


[edit]Know what I think we have some mutual friends as I was at that show you have video of your car in the MI booth. Do you happen to know Mario who was there talking with Brian (the guy with the White WRX in their booth also).

how much

so what exactlly do I need to do to launch around 3000, because im getting the whole wheel hop thing right now, and it doesnt exactlly look or sound to healthy for the car. How much would it cost?
 
awr motor mounts, they will cause more vibration. If you search you will find out more about them. I wanna get them because I get mad wheel hop, especially accelerating in the rain.
 
i'm not sure how much they are, do a search for their website. mine was custom and i had some other stuff done but forgot the price. yeah wheel hop sounds nasty.
 
Im gettin discourages, I lost to a spec-v stock last night, because im launching and hopping, then i have to like set the tires and get my rpm's up, basically eliminating the whole point of launching, and the guy took me buy a good car and a half........im not gonna bring up the talon tsi running 16 lbs!

how did you let the clutch out when you were racing? did you pop it?
