I dont like the drag strip. I save my car for Autocross. The only time I take it to the strip is when I have made a drastic change to it just to see what I have picked up.



My next trip will be after I get my 13B-REW engine into my TII.



I promise some really sick times.

Not exactly broken, but my TII is in the garage in pieces. I'm trying to dig my way down to the turbo, so I can pull it off and port the wastegate. I'm getting closer, having pulled the ACV and some lines off this weekend. After I port the wastegate, I'll be putting my new exhaust on, along with some other goodies. Right after I get it all back together, I'll be off to the strip. I think they're running here until sometime in November. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

a word of advice.... REMOVE ALL THAT EMISSIONS CRAP. i did and my TII engine bay is empty now... only 2 or 3 vacuum hoses on the entire thing. no more vacuum leaks..... i love it !

Mines awaiting more cash. I'm in the middle of getting a new set of street tires and don't want to burn them down. I probably won't go again until next summer sometime. Between now and then comes a 60-1 hifi from turbonetics($1200), 720 secondaries(about $300), S-AFC($315), Walbro fuel pump($130), Greddy fromt mount($1078), all new suspension($1177), and some drag radials($?). Hopefully I wil have most of this done by the middle of the summer.

Funny. My original plan called for putting it all back on. Funny how plans can change. I pulled the EGR to make room for my O2 sensor on the HKS downpipe. The TID is split, so I need to replace that. Seems like a good time to dump the stock airbox too. The ACV looks like a bowl of spaghetti. Can't imagine putting that back on if I don't have to... and on it goes. I really want to keep a cat though, and for that I believe I need the air pump and the ACV. Any advice?

just get an aftermarket cat. why do you need a cat ? get a midpipe for nwo and when emissions around just swap in the cat again https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png
