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.

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.

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[/quote]

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 ![/quote]

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[/QUOTE]

I've already got a Bonez cat. I figured I'd keep it legal and all that. But I really would just need it once a year for inspection.[/quote]

If you have the Bonez cat and it has a air tube and you want to remove the air pump just have the air tube welded over or cut off and welded. Probably cost you about $5-$10 at a welder.
