05BluePearlGT Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Some of my friends are going to the track tonight. I am gonna run my car as well. Anybody else want to go to....Firebird, I believe? If you wanna go, Im down to meet. Preferably the North side around 5, or a little souther around 5:30-6? I live on 21 St & Bell, and will be dropping the kids off at my dads around 5:30. Hes up near the 51/Glendale. My number is: Chris - 602-446-1864, call if you wanna meet. Ill check back later if I can, but calling would be better.

elpete77 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I'd love to go, but tonight is date night with my wife, and I don't think she'd appreciate a quiet night at the track. Have fun though, and let us know your results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05BluePearlGT Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 My friends ended up not going. My friend with a swapped civic, hashis battery in the back and a kill switch where his trunk keyhole is. But its not working right now, so he isnt going. And somebody else has a bad cracked windshield, so hes not going (firebird rules). So Sunday morning we are going to PIR I think it is. Around 9am. If anybody wants to go with, just post up. Im leaving my house around 8:30, maybe 8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05BluePearlGT Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 I didnt go. Went to the snow instead to test out the AWD. I had a BLAST! The tires handle MUCH better than I would have thought. Car handled great. Did a few donuts, too, hehe. I want to go to the track this week though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnAWD Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Launching AWD - 5500-6000 rpm, step off the clutch fast. And hang on. http://jsalmi.com/bandimere/101399/therace.ram - my old DSM, silver car, far lane, 6k rpm launch. BOOYA! (please - no commentary about the missed 1-2 shift...)

Quelok Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Went to Firebird last night and busted out a 14.16 which beats my preivious time of... gasp! 15.01. I thought I saw a black Legacy there, was that anyone on here? -"Q" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05BluePearlGT Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 I couldnt make it...due to.....relationship stuff....... I was quite upset. I was hoping for 13's, which I thought was highly possible. Well, hopefully soon I will make it. At least I got tuned/new mods, and shit. Im still happy about that, just way depressed that I dont know my times! I cant even post my dyno due to no camera USB. I will have to buy one tomorrow if i dont find it today. I wish the banks were open. Glad to hear your times were much lower. Do you have any mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quelok Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 LOL, my mods(up&down pipe) are sitting in a closet waiting to be installed! -"Q" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05BluePearlGT Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 It wasnt a bad install at all for the DP. The bolts werent too bad. You just need a little leverage, and there is room for it for every bolt on the mani. I just used the rod thing from my 3.5 ton jack. I love that thing. The car is up in a few pumps. The only prob was that a couple bolts came out when only the nut should have come off. So I am 1 bolt short on my manifold, but its not really needed. I double tightened, and will be doing a 3rd today or tomorrow. I figure a week or so with some hard driving would be a good time to tighten them...again. I love the Crucial DP. Its very quiet, just a little lwoer of an exhaust sound. There is a slight boxer rumble, but not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quelok Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 How long did it take you to install both respectively? -"Q" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05BluePearlGT Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 I only installed the DP that night, which took about 2 hours, with a bunch of breaks. So about 1.5 hours with working straight on it id say. I ate a meal and smoked a couple things in that time. The intake took about 20-30 minutes, with a couple breaks, mostly finding my tools. They were both pretty easy, if anybody ever needs help, let me know. Its pretty simple. Unbolt heat shield, than the 5 bolts to the manifold, than the 2 bolts to the exhaust. And replace.
