that was my first run ever at a track, i ran a 16.9, he ran a 16.8

my second run was much better, 16.2, with a little wheel hop at launch

i'm still shooting for 15.9, need better tires

is the MP3 has turbo? also what trim is the focus?

 

[JCell]

no turbo on either one of them, the focus had some upgrades, as did my car

What RPM did you launch at, I ran the same 16.2 and a 16.3. But I couldn't launch at all. Found out I had a two bad mounts. I'm going back soon.

what mods did you have for these runs? what did you run stock?

same w/ jcell..what mods for this run? and stock?

I thought you would beable to see my sig, guess not.
I have the wagner header, gutted precat, racingbeat axle back. 9lbs flywheel, P5 clutch. mp3 ECU. Now I have the AWR Motor mounts.

I am almost 100% sure I could be under 16s if I had a good launch, I couldn't go over 2500 rpms. So next time out, I'll het the 4k.

yea bro. you should MOST definatly be able to hit under 16s..I mean.. i hit mid 16s stock..completely stock...I launched between 3500-4000rpms good luck with it man. just keep trying. and you might try a short shifter..kartboy..b&m..whichever..they help a lot.for cheap..make sure you grab the bronzeoil bushings, and the shifter bushings too.

 

[Hughes412]

Yea, I should be able to hit 15s. I am going to take out the subs and put on the 15s with better tires. I say get the Short shifter, I have the B&M and love it.

i now have a short shifter. I was saying if you didn't have one. to get it. hell, if you want, I'll drive your car

some of my buddies best times in their cars were with me driving. weird... but yea, good luck on that pursuit. get the shifter bushings, and bronzeoil bushings too.

edit-also, if you were intersted, I'm selling my clutch/flywheel...fidanza 7.5lb, and the ACT stage 4 6 puck clutch.. pretty nice my friend.

well those are pretty good runs. I'd like to see what I'm at now...from stock to..built msp motor..upgraded turbo and what not..prolly ems and motor mounts, axles, and 2 settings of psi...like...15 and 30 psi. we'll see.lol..

 

[avarela86]

Jaime is the freakin man. He had a good run that night...sorry to bring it back to life but he did really good for his first time. Wish i had a better run a couple others. Turbo here I come.....

 

[JCell]

ty fredo, i'll probably be headin back once i get a couple of mods and new tires in

 

[winty87]

whats a MP2?....Good run by the way

 

[mazpro]

mp2 is just the name we gave him because his car wants to be an mp3, but it's not there yet.

what benefit does the p5 clutch have over the stock es clutch. thought it was the same

 

[mazpro]

it is the same clutch, all 2.0s have the same clutch.

 

[Iggy]

also ive always wondered, what benefit does the mp3 ecu have
