DaveB · 23-09-2008, 07:29

60fts were all 2.3, bar the 13second runs where I got 2.2x's
Terminals were all between 100.x and 101.x

I was up against a stripped nova xe on r1 carbs, that ran low 14s

Plans are always a foot

Trackdays trackdays and more trackdays

Spare engine is in the garage waiting for a rebuild, and money depending I might put some naughty pistons in there and contemplate going for solid lifters/bigger cams... maybe
I want a proper cage for it as I don't like my half cage
I've got my airbox and induction piping to fit, along with an 'air-feed' headlight for trackdays

Launch control I got all wired up and working last night... FPMSL pop bang tastic

Lost loads from taking out the stuff behind the dash. The passenger seat is alot lighter too with ally mounts/grp back

Door bars are staying in until the cage goes to the front. Spare wheel well is also staying

My new cone filter turned up this morning. It came off a 500bhp EVO IX :lol:

Will fit it on Sunday.

Dave, dont fit a weld in front cage, people will accuse you of overkill and copying Ben off corsasport

Not that people have done that with me!

DaveB · 25-09-2008, 11:05

I mod my car for enjoyment, not to gain friends or other peoples opinions

Chris S · 26-09-2008, 08:30

that filters same on my poxy 400 bhp evo

DaveB · 26-09-2008, 08:45

..thought it might be. I needed one of the largest inlets I could get otherwise it'd be a restriction

Jamie_F · 26-09-2008, 10:39

i had a hks on my celica, just make sure you clean and oil it regularly as they clog up quite quick, if its left to long the foam can break up and get sucked into the engine.

DaveB · 26-09-2008, 11:01

It'll only be used on trackdays so won't do much normal mileage

Seems very intact at the moment though

astragsi · 26-09-2008, 17:54

new filters are very cheap and easy to change anyway.

DaveB · 29-09-2008, 16:26

Trackday induction system fitted. Along with a new bonnet vent

wazpaz · 29-09-2008, 17:18

Induction kit looks good!

Dont like the airvent at the back

The vents look worse on cupboard doors tho

**Benn** · 29-09-2008, 18:38

can you day/night in on the road with only 1 headlight?
Looks tastey should keep it nice and cold in there too.

Gaz86 · 29-09-2008, 21:14

function over form, love it!!! although a glassless headlight gutted will be a lot better flowing

adam c · 29-09-2008, 22:37

loving the vent!

.have you got any vids of the launch control?

rc · 29-09-2008, 23:40

i did the same in my 'development' stages

mine was because i couldnt fit it all in the engine bay lol

DaveB · 30-09-2008, 14:51

Mines purely for trackdays. Tried it on the road

yesterday and it was OK. too quiet for me though

DaveB · 02-10-2008, 12:10

Went to Oulton Park yesterday for a PM session. I booked with http://www.easytrack.co.uk

I got 2 good, clean and dry sessions. Then had a break to get a brew and warm up. The heavens opened and the weather got progressively worse (as you will see from the pictures). Oh how I love track days in the rain

The track conditions were massively better than at Silverstone though.

First lot of pictures are the official trackside photographers, and the second lot are taken by SteL

thanks mate.

SteLs Photos

Only 2 issues came out of the day:

1. I get some serious fuel starvation coming out of the long banked corners, meaning I was short-shifting for most of the day. I need a swirl pot setup asap
2. I got 105db on the static test from my exhaust. So I also need to see if I can find a removeable bung (just to put in for the noise test

)

Hope you enjoy the pictures. I have got some videos, but since fitting my 3rd solid engine mount most of the camera mounts vibrate so I need to do quite abit of editting to get the videos to a watchable level. I'll post them sometime over the next week
