Legacsti11 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Sweet build man and Love the sleeper status. Do you have any future plans in mind? What does she put down in the quarter mile if you have tracked it? 05 Legacsti with toys, Efi Logics Tuned, Whitey Built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too sigmafour Posted April 29, 2013 Author I Donated Too Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) not sure I'll ever try a proper 1/4 mile at a track. I have no interest in breaking the car to get a time. IF I went to the track I would start with a very slow gentle start so the real number would always be a guess but we'll see. I might go this year but really not sure I'd want to run it - don't have a helmet and there's no way tech inspection would pop the hood and let me on the track without one, they aren't stupid and know what's going on, sleeper or not! No future plans... what else to do? More power wouldn't necessarily make it faster - there's some 475whp/475wtq and 440whp/505wtq 2.5's I've run up against and we're just neck and neck because of where the power curves come in on the much bigger Turbo's needed to get that kind of number - I have a reliable car still, so it seems... I'll be stopping here for now and work only on maintenance items and some cosmetic items. This is still a daily driver, every day.

JermTheElf Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Lets run our cars at the 1/4 mile. Easy aggressive starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robitrice Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 60 ft rolling starts would be completely appropriate....a 4 second 60' would be funny to watch tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too sigmafour Posted May 4, 2013 Author I Donated Too Share Posted May 4, 2013 replacement AEM flow sensor is here... that will fix that issue. Only other one is the near regular MAF code for max voltage, just a lot of air and not sure how to deal with that!? Otherwise everything has been very good and working well - haven't melted a piston. yet. soon. maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourConfused Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Otherwise everything has been very good and working well - haven't melted a piston. yet. soon. maybe. :lol: only funny because it isn't my car. Hope things stay together for you for a long while though. Thanks for the inspiration and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too sigmafour Posted May 8, 2013 Author I Donated Too Share Posted May 8, 2013 Can only tempt fate by saying that the car is fine at this boost level. Fact is I am expecting something to go wrong and planning for it, just not sure when or what but you just can't be this hard all the time on a car and not have an issue at some point! thank you for all your comments. It's out of sleeper mode, the summer OZ wheels are back on... it's not so inconspicuous now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dujo Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 We know in your heart of hearts, you're actually hoping it will blow so you can pull the motor and rebuild it. Refurbed heads. New pistons. Shit buddy, you could be making 500 awhp right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Donated Too sigmafour Posted May 8, 2013 Author I Donated Too Share Posted May 8, 2013 It is a photo forum but this seems to be where all the build threads end up... I could post more pictures but there's nothing else to see. 500AWHP - so there goes the drivetrain... and it's just not worth it. I can get bigger numbers but practically it won't make the car any faster. Those bigger Turbos develop the power so late it's all over by the time it matters. Best bang for the buck has already been reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motive Auto Works Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 this car is fast,...but the driver is faster! I was very excited that this build was going to a driver who would ABSOLUTELY enjoy every single one of those ponies - can't wait to get her back again for her next mod Stay tuned for the next build - i should be getting the next one over to Bren very soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
