The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

Did Pablo ever run his speed3 there?

no, i took mine to big shot dyno. she ran 265 on a mustang dyno, mods were CAI, BOV, mount, catback. ran the same with the bigger TMIC, never had a chance to dyno her with all the mods on.

dont ms3's heat soak pretty fast on the dyno too? i thought i heard that. the first run will be good, then it is all down hill from there.

yes, they need a good fan

The Man in brown just delivered GT5! The first part is taking 20min to install!

I'm picking mine up when I get off work

That one dark blue MS3 put down the 220whp right, Levi? That was a really nice car. And the Dyno-Day was pretty fun and Mike (and Micah) is a super nice guy. There's an article in Modified Magazine about the different kinds of dynos that's pretty interesting. And like what Mike says, the Mustang Dyno is the heartbreaker. haha! I was just shooting for 100whp and I would've been happy. Some cats go to a dyno just get a print off of a big horsepower number for bragging rights but dynos are actually used for tuning. But it's always good to see what numbers are being put down to ground.

Heck, I'm kinda of glad I have low whp, it means I won't get myself into trouble. I need more track time to be a better driver. Horsepower numbers don't mean much if you're still getting lapped by a low WHP car on the track.

And Levi, I think your car feels really good after the clutch and flywheel. It really pulls nicely and sounds even meaner. How's the clutch feeling no, btw?

Just an FYI, NASA uses a Mustang Dyno to verifiy HP numbers for classing. They will not use numbers from any other tyoe of dynos for classification purposes.

No PS3 for me, hence no GT5...although I might try buying a cheap used one just for that game! Let me know if it is as good as they hyped it...
So I have been obsessed with F1 2010 for Xbox360 instead...7 year career with Lotus and the game is realistic, yet challenging...I love it!

 

[squirrelmincer]

So far so good with the game. I'll be able to play more once the kids go to bed. So far I have a 95 Miata and a 03 3! It is listed as a Axela, RHD.

 

[THE Phen]

When I get home, I have the following things on my list to buy:

F1 2010
PS3
GT5

 

[frenchy chan]

our gran turismo set up!

 

[THE Phen]

I've got the Logitch force feedback wheel for the PS2. I got it when I bought GT3 (or maybe it was GT4). Haven't used it a whole lot tho.

 

[Fiji Mazda3]

our gran turismo set up!

That's awesome. Where's the seat from?

 

[frenchy chan]

a miata...we got two for like $25 or something...sean found them on craigslist a while ago and i think the guy does spec miata or something

 

[frenchy chan]

forgot to say that we have surround sound IN the headrest! sean replaced the stock speakers with some good ones!

 

[princess peach]

booooooooooo

went out for drinks and didn't make it in time to pick up GT5... BTW, where's m Speed3 seat Sean?

 

[o0n8]

i need to build one of those, i have to wait til x-mas for my gt5, my mom did a pre-order when it first came out 3 years ago so what's waiting a little longer? and i need to build one of those when I get the game.

 

[PrinceValorum]

That is quite the rig, and I approve. I spotted the Miata seat, too, haha.

I've logged a few hours on Forza 2 and 3 and have all of the first four GT games. I dunno about buying the PS3 to play GT5, but it'll probably be tempting.

 

[THE Phen]

I think I'm going to get it because I want a BluRay player anyway. I think I can smell some GT5 or Forza 3 parties soon... Hmmmm

 

[Rockin03mp5]

nice setup there

i might need to buy a wheel. i hate steering with the controller.

 

[magnumP5]

I've been meaning to build one of those for quite some time now with the leftover seat from the RX-7. I keep putting it off because I want to sell my Sparco seats so that would mean I'd need that seat again...

yea man, the blue one was the car i was talking about haha

and yeah the clutch feels MUCH better, once i got home i set there and pumped the clutch for 5-10 mins straight and its much better now, feels like i thought an upgraded clutch should feel haha

next time im out im gonna hve you or phen (if he's home) take it for a spin and i wanna hear it outside the car



oh and happy turkey day!! hope everyone enjoys eating lots of food and spending time with friends or family

 

[Lewis7789]
