[351cat]

[2TonCat]

There's a guy selling one on KCSR... Karlen's brother. The interior is ~~~~, but the rest is workable.

[351cat]

it'll be a lil while before i have the funds... prolly a month or so.

[traveler]

put me down for maybe... maybe i'll have an sc by then ;)

And to get to Salina from Springfield you have to drive right through Parsons.

[351cat]

i dont even know where salina is, lol... i think it'd be fun to auto x the cat. i'll get those sc springs on there and maybe the rear disc and giver hell, lol

[sinhumane]

[351cat]

you could leave your car w/ me tyler, i'll take good care of it while your gone :)

[thunderbird96]

well who all is going besides me and travis

[traveler]

I'm down for a definite maybe. I've got the weekend off, I'll try to have the big tires on by then and if I can get a place to stay I'll be there. Won't have the 3.55's in yet though... drat.

[thunderbird96]

saturday me and travis are going to matt's house then sunday is racing.

mike there are cheap hotels on 9th street or you could most likely crash at matt's house .

[traveler]

I've got a sister that lives in the area, might look her up. And I've got some old friends that live there to. I'll see what I can come up with.

[thunderbird96]

sounds good old guy.lol

hey the scca course will be a fast one.
cause the first event is the same every year.
as well as the october course.

[traveler]

I just hope the chip gets back before then. If not, I'll just have to beat you with good ol' fashioned skill. :p (And Eibachs, KYB's, FAT sway bars, big ~~~ tires, PBR's, and front AND rear shock tower braces)

[thunderbird96]

well i have a rear shocktower brace/eibachs and tokicos and bigger sway bars at both ends and more power.

[traveler]

Unless you have Addco bars, your's are the same size as mine. I have 89 SC bars front and rear.:rolleyes:

I had forgotten that you finally went with Eibachs. I'll be anxious to give it a try.

[Melon]

Don't make me come down and attempt to beat both of ya :p I may not have done it, but the car certainly has :D

OK.. so I don't have the time off from work :p

-Melon

[thunderbird96]

yea they came from my 96
and i have my tokico's from my 96 also

it's going to the shop for a oil change and front end work tomorrow

and a new tire after that.

Then after tax money i get blower is getting redone and maybe brake upgrades and by the shootout have meth injection

you helped me install the eibachs duh!!

[Thunder95]

Jason, if you need new tires I have those bfg's I'll sell ya for $250. 245 45 17, real nice shape!

-Joel

[traveler]

Yea, Jason likes that Mustang size. Its short. :p hehehe

J/K a deal on tires is still a deal on tires.

[Thunder95]

Short = better gearing. :)

-Joel

[thunderbird96]

joel you if you have 2 i will be intrested and how manymiles on them
and what model ? and speed rating.

[Thunder95]

I will only sell all 4. They're BF Goodrich Comp T/A ZR1's with lless than 15,000 miles on them. Very very good tread depth left. This used to be be one of BFG's best tires so I imagine they're Z rated. Not like your car can come close to that. :rolleyes:

-Joel

[thunderbird96]

dude i have had mine to 140 plus,i only need 2

[thunderbird96]

i will give ya 120 for 2

[Thunder95]

140 isnt Z rated. Z rated = 186.

Sorry, won't split them up. $250 is as low as I'll go, $500 for the set with wheels.

-Joel

[thunderbird96]

who's coming to this also?

[traveler]

I'll do my very best. My budget is tight at the moment, but I'll do what I can.

I also don't know when my chip will be back. But there will be surprises. ;)

[2TonCat]

What did you hear from Lonnie?

[traveler]

He said he'd do a tweak for a great price. But I've decided to go with the GT MAF. With the change to the GT MAF he may charge the standard price for a re-tune, I haven't heard back from him about any differences between the Lightning MAF and the GT. But I've read enough about the two that, since I have both, I'll go with the GT.

[2TonCat]

Cool :)

Don't know if you saw my post on TCCoA, but it looks like you were running lean at the places where you said it was pinging.

[traveler]

Yea, I saw that. With any luck Lonnie will pick up on that too and correct it. Who knows, maybe the GT MAF will help in that respect. But if I want any of this to happen, I'd better get it sent off to him! :rolleyes:

[Thunder95]

-Joel

Jason, come on man you'll need em sooner or later and these are badass performance tires! Help a guy out I need some $'s! $250! New they're like 600, and these are very close to new!

-Joel

[traveler]

What did you hear from Lonnie?

Got this reply:

The GT MAF will be a much better choice for your vehicle. You’ll have better fuel control and throttle response because the meter is calibrated for your typical air flow. Where as the LMAFs are calibrated for a much higher rate than you vehicle will produce.

and this:

I’ll let you know when it shows up. Going with the GT MAF will totally change anything with fuel that you data logged with the LMAF. So you will have to email a new set of logs afterwards

So we'll have to go back to the Dyno after I get the Chip and the GT MAF installed.

[Thunder95]

Micheal, any word on the 3.27 TL?

-Joel

[traveler]

Unfortunately, budget constraints have caused me to wait till May to get the 3.55 built. So it will be May before I get the 3.27's taken out and the 3.55's put in.

[thunderbird96]

I will be in salina friday night.

who all is coming for sure?

i thought saturday we could me at matt's at 10:30 am
hang out all day.


sunday we need to be at the track by 8:am

-Melon

[traveler]

Ok, I'm making reservations at Holiday Inn. I still have some Priority Club Points left from when I was traveling a lot. Might as well use em.

Are we meeting at Matts house Sat. Morning? I seem to remember reading that suggestion by Jason, but didn't hear anything from Matt on the idea.

By the way, if anyone is undecided on coming based on a place to stay or not, I can share the room. Won't cost any more points with one or two people.

[thunderbird96]

i have a 8am apointment for my motor mount install on saturday morning in abeline,ks the be to matt's by 10am saturday.

[35thauto]

Yes....Ok , I got room & 3 recliners, 1 fold-a-bed, 110 octane coffee so PM me for details.

Matt

[thunderbird96]

[traveler]

I should be there.

[thunderbird96]

[thunderbird96]

[traveler]

Ok, I got a room here:

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites
WICHITA AIRPORT
1236 S DUGAN ROAD
WICHITA, KS 67209 UNITED STATES
Hotel Front Desk: 1-316-5220008
Hotel Fax: 1-316-4407598

I figured if we were going to meet at Matts house, and the racing wasn't till Sunday then it made no sense to stay in Salina Sat. night. If there is error in my thinking let me know. I'm looking forward to this. :D

[traveler]

Well, the few, the strong showed up and raced.

Matt and I drove up from Wichita; Jason, and his friends (sorry, I'm terrible with names) met us there. Jason didn't race, claimed noises from under the car. No one raced but me! It was cold, it was wet, but had a great time! The new girlfriend came along with her daughter, and they had a good time. Jenny even rode along on one run, and it was my best one of the day.

Anyway, here are the vids.

[2TonCat]

Looks like a lot of fun Michael! The cougar would have turned that into a damned drift course :D

I don't think jason was joking about his noise as he's called me about 6 times about it.

[traveler]

LOL I was thinking that it would be slick (one guy in a 95 Corvette lost it and hit a light pole!). But the tires I've got are incredible in the rain. I actually would have preferred it being a little "looser". It was understeering in the tight corners. I had to use the gas to bring the rear end around, and even then it just didn't want to slide. I'm sure if I had really hit it (the gas) hard the rear would have come around big time but I didnt want that either. (I think thats what the Corvette driver did). Taller gears would have made it easier to run the course.

[2TonCat]

I'm usually 50/50 when trying to kick the back end around to sharpen a turn....

Last 4th of July, I went out with the KCSR guys, and we were turning around on a gravel road with ditches on the sides.... The honda infront of me was able to do a 180 in place (Still don't understand how he did it), so I tried. Ended up in the ditch, and had to have 2 fat kids sit on my trunk so I could pull myself out.
