Re: Daily Drivers

I found daily drving the car was no problem until I got into the 11s. And now that the car is set up for even more power, it wont stay together long enough to beat the old time Under 14 seconds is a walk in the park. My car was a DD for 4 years, most of that time in the 12s.

Well looks like Kevin got offline for a while so I'll answer...he only put about $1800 into his car before he was in the 12s. I believe his mod list was close to what follows:


Exhaust (bushur 2.5" turbo back)
K&N filter (FIPK kit)
1g BOV on a cheap UICP
Profec B (could save some cash here with a MBC)
www.pocketlogger.com logger
Palm Pilot M100
100 dollar 14b with 120k miles, with RRE "hacker/tweaker" kit
AFC

JoeWagon is trying to beat Kevin into the 12s with less money We'll see if he can do it!

Re: Daily Drivers

i was told that i should be able to break into the 12's, but i find that hard to believe on a t-25, but i would not put 13's out of the picture...

Re: Daily Drivers

I don't know if I will. I want DSMlink, and even I'm not stubborn enough to buy an AFC/datalogger just to beat Kevin's record. I saved some money on exhaust and boost controller from Kevin's setup, which confirms that yes, you can go 12's on a 2g for way under $2000... I just don't want to upgrade twice. I'll probably get a 14b though, and I do hope to run 12's with it!

If I'm not mistaken, cars with the same mods as mine, or less, are running ~13.7 on pump gas. I can't talk shit though because I haven't gone to the track. Maybe if the weather gets nicer...
