Ellis St. offramp 101N around 5:55PM.
This d-bag RX-8 driver decided to dawdle going turning left during a green to yellow light and left me behind since I didn't want to run a red. I gave the driver the bird. I hope he/she saw me. And what is the point of a personalized plate if you can't figure out what it says. Nice dent in the left rear bumper too.

The other S2 spun out in turn 3 (or maybe it is turn 5). directly in front of a 1M.
I have never lost it in turn 5, but I did almost lose it in turn 3 while driving my 00 328CI with 200K miles. Counter steered the thing 3 times before running out of track and going off roading.

FYI, I wasnt there because is running a little too hot.

I think it was jus too hot and my rear tire tread was low. Ive never had problems on that turn. It sucked cuz I wasnt even pushing it at ALL. I think it was just a combination of Heat, No tread, and Stock tires....
Felt kinda dumb...

Whitewater Pearl turning left onto Hamilton from San Tomas Aquino Rd. I was in my Integra in the left turn lane to get onto San Tomas Aquino Rd. You mad mugged me while you completed your turn :[
Your rims color scheme were similar to mine, black with polished lip. You were probably jelly of my 5Zigens
Also saw you make a u turn to go back onto San Tomas Aquino Rd.. Lol you wasted gas to mug me

Come out to Leguna Seca on the 30th and 31st and you will see my 8, 31st MM will be there too.
Procharger is gone but I have a BDC street ported motor now. Should be fun considering the motor is still on a stand. Needs to be installed, broken in, tuned and quieted down to meet the 93DB sound restriction at leguna. All inthe next 10 days, 8 if you dont count the 30th and today.
With the procharger, header, and turboXS exhaust I got black flagged at 104db at Thunderhill. Morning cloud cover makes the DB read higher. A BHR resonator shoudl do the trick.

I zoom therefore I am.
You had the BDC port done? How did I miss that thread?? I'm going to try to make it either the 30th or the 31st... just trying to get some things at work done so I can go.

Basically, after I installed the cog tooth pulley on the procharger I was making 14+ PSI boost from about 8500 RPM and up and I was maxing out the MAF. I am estimating I was making 325 at the rear wheels because it felt much stronger then when I dynoed 300. 325 at the wheels with the procharger robbing 40-50 HP Estimate, The motor was making a lot of power, a lot of heat and it didnt last long. 3 track days on a junk yard 18K mile motor was not good enough.
So... Out goes the porcharger and in goes a street ported and balanced motor. I have seen dyno charts showing 225-235 on a street port, plus I removed weight from the car, it will improve mileage, it will run cooler and last longer. Sounded like the best plan. I almost had Brian do a partial bridge port but I figure I can do that on another motor down the road.
