For those wondering... SaRa..is the SR20det...dont ask. <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Anyway. &nbsp;I decided to go to Darlington tonite with a different set of rear tires to see if I could drop my times/60' any.
I threw on a set of Michelin Energy MXV4s that were mounted on my steelies when I got the car. &nbsp;They are H rated, so I thought they would be a little softer than the &quot;Douglas&quot; (!!?) S rated tires that I ran with the other night at the Rock. &nbsp;Not quite. &nbsp;At 32 psi on the rears, I spun all the way down the track to a blistering 17.84@84.14mph.
And this at only .6 bar or 8.7psi. &nbsp;I was one of the first people on the track, and it was slippery. &nbsp;I let some of the bigger cars run and warm up the track a little before I went back.

All in all, &nbsp;I got 12 runs all nite. &nbsp;I took my time adjusting tire pressure and fuel pressure. &nbsp;Logging the max temps of the EGT for each run, the max boost, and thetype of launch so I can study it later. &nbsp;All night I was running mid 14s and high 90s for mph.. &nbsp;No matter what I did, &nbsp;I still spun. &nbsp;Even though I'm running street tires, I opted to put on the smoke show (for the crowd) and going into 2nd during the burnout is the only way that I could get both rear tires on my &quot;LSD-less&quot; rear diff to put down the power. &nbsp; The burnouts actually did work to create some more grip.

By the end of the night, &nbsp;I had dropped the pressure in the rear tires to 24psi. &nbsp;For shits and giggles I turned on the AVCr and bumped the boost up to .80bar (11.60psi). &nbsp;To compensate, I cranked the fuel pressure at the rail up to 60psi.

For my run, I drew up against a EG body Civic hatch. &nbsp;I dont know what was in it, &nbsp;but he was running drag radials on the front, and it was trailered in. &nbsp;There were hood pins on it, and I never did see what was under it. Turns out that he jumped me off the line and redlighted by about .2 seconds. &nbsp;He got away first, &nbsp;but I nearly chased him down by the end of the track.
I'm pretty sure that he was spraying a Bseries under the hood of that Civic...all motor Hondas dont shoot flame out the exhaust pipe.

I went nuts when I picked up my time slip. &nbsp;13.87@101.49mph!

I fried my clutch, &nbsp;but I was expecting that and it's well worth it. &nbsp;The clutch wasnt healthy to begin with. &nbsp;The car is still driveable, &nbsp;just not &quot;race-able&quot;

The run plays out like this...
R/T-.544
60'- 2.156
330'-5.961
1.8-9.047
MPH-80.77
1000'-11.661
1/4-13.873
MPH-101.49

No more runs till I have a clutch, &nbsp;but I'll be happy with this for a minute.

Stay Tuned.

As soon as we get Ryan's MK3 Supra running we may be heading up that way to hang out for an evening or something.

I think we are going to run the 7MGTE in his car for a minute. &nbsp;Going to go ahead and do ARP studs in it and an HKS headgasket. &nbsp;Once he gets some more money...who knows? &nbsp;1JZ? &nbsp;2JZ?

I knew when u got it together it would be crucial man. im glad to hear your results. like Ben said with the responses your gettin up here looks like u might be gettin some more business, as if u dont stay swamped as it is.

Hey Steve...long time man.

Thanks for the props on the 180. &nbsp;Dunno if this is the one that you saw.. I think I was still planning on using the blue car the last time that you were here. &nbsp;This one that I'm driving now is a gold one that I picked up because it had a better body.

I'll shoot the list a heads up when we'll be coming to visit..stay tuned!!

Peace,
Jeff...JDM2ner
