Got a email from Stillen that the kit should ship today!

All I need to finish up is the TopgunZ A2A kit.

TBatt 04-27-2016 08:42 AM

More good news! I've landed a couple of video shoots that I was not planning on and those will pay for the rest of the wheel and tire fund.

It is looking like Christmas at the house with all of the great stuff arriving.

Thanks to everyone on the forum, this has been a great project so far that has lots of backup data to know that the build is going to be successful. I should be on the hunt by the end of June. You FI guys know what I mean.......

As a side note, last weekend we had the Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports park. If you have never been to Barber you have to go! The track looks like a golf course and is very well organized. Google it and see.

On the way to the track, while cruising at ~90 I get passed by some idiot driving a Range Rover hauling a trailer with a sport bike on it. A couple of miles down the road my Passport 9500 starts going crazy so I back down real quick. A State Trooper comes blowing by me and nails the Range Rover driver. My wife and I laughed at the idiot.

It's here!

The only missing component for the build is the A2A system from TopgunZ.

I even went and bought the oil and filter for a oil change while adding the oil cooler kit.

Wheels and tires ordered today!

Avant Garde M310 19x9.5F and 19x11R Hypersilver w/RE-11 265F 305R w/TPMs

Get Your Wheels and Tire Rack purchases.

Just need the A2A kit..........

TBatt 05-10-2016 03:39 PM

Jason emailed to let me know that the M310 wheels are not in stock so I am moving up to the M590. This will cause a slight delay. I hope the stock wheels with S04 tires will hook up with the dyno and not slip.

YzGyz 05-10-2016 04:32 PM

The so4 hooked on the dyno for me. I really like them fir the price but I think I will try something else next time just to see what else is out there. Looking forward to the build buddy. So exciting!

Hey Tbatt, I ran my stock clutch for a few years lol, this was on the stillen kit,

The only time I would slip is a hard shift from one gear to another, etc 2 gear shifted at 6500rpm, it would have trouble grabbing 3rd gear. but otherwise is wasn't too bad.

this was on the stock stillen kit.

im not sure if the clutch will hold the A2A kit, I made 50 more wheel torque with the A2A, same dyno, same pulleys.

TopgunZ 05-10-2016 06:05 PM

Even if it holds, it won't hold for long. Don't toast it, upgrade it. Have you upgraded the csc?

The plan is to upgrade the CSC along with the clutch, hopefully by the end of the year. It is simply a matter of money and timing.

With the 305 RE-11 rear tires, they should get some pretty good grip so I will need to be mindful of the clutch until it is upgraded. Planning on going with the OS Giken twin disc setup and the HD CNC CSC from Z-Speed (I think that is who has the csc kit). I've been talking to a local shop that I trust and they are willing to help out with the clutch mods. They already know I'm crazy (I get it from my dad).

And then there are the brake upgrades..........$$$$$$$$$$$$

My wife is going to be scared sh*tless! She thinks the stock car is too fast, HA! :eek::driving:

Make sure you get a video of her freaking out the first time you punch it.:tup:

I'd consider looking at the RJM Performance heavy duty clutch master cylinder as well. It should be ready by the end of this month, so there should be some feedback by the time you're looking to upgrade.

I had not heard about this yet! The RJM pedal is fantastic so I will definitely be looking into this too. Thanks!!
