Glad to see you are getting close to being able to run, bet your anxious to try the new mods, with better luck this year.

I gotta say camlocks FTW

Two issues with them in my mind ... duble the price for something you have to replace every two years, plus, this was likely a dirt track thing, but back in those days I saw several sets locked up from dirt getting in them.

Gbet your anxious to try the new mods

For sure!

next time try simpson platnum they replace for free after 2 years or recert them i think

[Martin0660]

they replace for free after 2 years or recert them

It's all a freaking scam Troy ...

G-Force belts are like $60.00, cam locks are $120.00 ... Recert you pay shipping, and they replace webbing for $50.00 + return shipping.... Sounds like a wash with new blets ... Even worse, you see that the same service for cam locks is $100.00 ... the damn webbing is the same, and they are giving you your hardware back (why you paid double to start) ...

Same with the Simpson deal, year, you get a re-cert, but you pay twice the price. Pay me now, pay me later, just pay me every two years.

Believe me, I believe in safety equipment. I have more in my car than is needed, and will continue to do so. This whole belt thing is just frustrating.

Even dampers and flexplates / flywheels. Those are going to be next to be inspected in detail as the manufacturers will push for it too. I would be a very large percentage of the cars racing EVERY week are out of cert on that stuff.

I have heard that they have gien guys new belts yes they cost more but a free new set makes them the same price , the whole belts recert thing has pist me off for years too they do not go bad after 2 years of use if so they were just to begin with

In the sun for 2010





Took it for a ride ... no drips, smoke, leaks, etc ....

Had the NRL boost controller "off", boost went right to the spring pressure at 10 psi :D

Turned on stage 1 (+5) and it went right to 15 psi :D :D

Turned on stage 2 (+10) and it went right to 20 psi :D :D :D

We have boost control Now to crank both stages up ;)

The dump pipe is by no means obnoxiuos. The first time it opened I was like .. .ehhh... at the higher boost levels it starts to scream.

Rear end parts go in tomorrow night!

Look good Bob! Looks real good! I'm glad to see it's all working for you, especially after all the work you've put into it.

[biminiLX]

Awesome Bob, can't wait to you start playing with the AMS. I really like the ramp feature and I'm sure it'll help you too!
Lookin' good man!

looks real good bob

[Martin0660]

Thanks Guys!

J- I now have the ramp feature wired in. I'm really not sure it will help me ... we will see. I'm just thrilled to apparently have boost control :D Of course i've been fooled before ;)

[sutyak]

Looks great Bob! I can't wait to see some track times! :)

[somethingclever]

I forsee you dialing it back to 12.0's. ;)

[Martin0660]

Thanks Mark!

Nah John, I've been driving it over the last few days and it feels like a mid 12 car ;)

Also bumped up both boost setting, now have 21 psi on on Stage 1 and 25 psi on Stage 2. Both setting still control. Now to get some injector in the thing at let this turbo eat.

Good new is, it's 1:30, I smell of rear end grease, but the rear end upgrades are DONE! I can not thank Dave and Chuck enough for working all night like this to get my stuff together. The thing came together really nice.

The car will be at the track tomorrow but only as a spectator.

[yeahloh95]

thats great i'll see you there

[Martin0660]

thats great i'll see you there

Good to see you Troy, and everyone else.

Been driving the car and am real happy with everything so far. Like an idiot, I didn't take any pictures of the rear stuff in progess or on the lift. It's a shame you can't see anything unless you lay on the ground :D

[Martin0660]

Going to start the coil over install tomorrow night ... Someone forgot to get new bolts for the a-arms but they are on the way ;)

[yeahloh95]

the bolts are 5/8 x4 inches long if i remember correctly ,they have them at tractor supply

[Martin0660]

Good to know Troy ... I needed some other things from Jeg's so I ordered them from there last night. Project should start tonight.

[wick]

Hey Bob, I have my new stock ones that I can't use because of the shoulder that's on them and the team Z arms. You can have them if you want. Tell dex come tonight and get them.
