100 more miles today. Ran flawless.

Took the powerstop ceramic pads off the back and put the stock ones on - no more annoying squealing when stopping.

Clutch down right gets it done.

A/C idler and tensioner pulleys are making noise. I repacked them with grease and they were quiet for a couple miles.

New ones on the way.

Still have some idle tuning, cold start to do. But I've enjoying the car for the 1st time in a long time.

Nice!

Good to hear man!

[Nocooler]

300 miles and counting. Averaging 25mpg

Going to try and hit the track on Sunday.

Spin spin and more spin.

118-119mph on the motor 11.7 was the best

128-129mph on a 100 shot - 10.99 was the best.

best 60' was 1.57 most were 1.7 - could not get it consistent. Need to check the rear suspension and see if it binds. As soon as I let off the clutch it'd just spin.

Wondered if you were running today. Almost went up there today..

[Nocooler]

Hot as ball Larry - good turnout though

[OIF1VET]

I had a productive day on the couch. Lol. Hoping to come make some passes this fall..

[Nocooler]

Reviewing the video - as soon as the suspension hit the tires they'd shoot straight up and unload. Needs more compression and rebound - don't know if these qa1's will control the hit.....but I'll find out.

Have you ever considered calling up madman or mwc and have them give you a base setting for all your chassis parts? You're on a et drag?

You can get that thing hooking.

[Nocooler]

It's been consistent 1.50's with the settings that I was using....so I thought I was good.

New clutch just hits the tires harder.

I would feel confident saying Jeremy is pretty knowledgable on his suspension adjustments, I would take advice from him for sure I am still learning myself.

Thanks Jeff - It'll get there.

1st time out with a new combo is always rough - prep was marginal at best too.

Shock adjustments should get me there - but it might take some lower control arm relocation. Next time I'll be more motivated to make it hook.
