I'm still gonna try and see what I can do once I get some bolt ons, but that probably won't be for a while. I just have to wait for the right weather to come around.

I waited to long it is hottt here already. Maybe come winter I will shed some weight off the car and run it one more time before I get the boost. Which I might be leaning towards the STG 2 kit from GTM now.

Yeah it was like 45-55 back in March when I ran, which is probably perfect temperature wise. I will probably go sometime in the summer just for fun since I won't have much to do.

I was launching around 1200-1500 rpms and didnt really slide at all. I had decent 60's though so I didnt want to go any higher.

What did you launch at and what were your 60's?

I only ran like 4 times and tried different launch rpms each time. 1500 seemed to work best, but I think it also depends on the track prep. I launched at 1500 my first run (which was the 12.9) and got no wheel spin. Something after that run screwed up the track prep and I got some spin at the same rpm the second time.

Mr&Mrs · 05-20-2011, 07:03 PM

Dropped the car off to get the wing put on. Should be picking her up Sunday will have pics up that night I hope

b1adesofcha0s · 05-20-2011, 07:10 PM

Which wing are you getting?

Mr&Mrs · 05-20-2011, 08:01 PM

I have the CF Amuse wing just didn't have time to get it put on until now.

b1adesofcha0s · 05-20-2011, 08:22 PM

Nice

Mr&Mrs · 05-22-2011, 05:48 PM

Well went to pick up the car today and when I pulled up the wing was not even on yet. The guy had it since 1PM Friday! So I see a bunch of scratches and a couple chips he has the holes covered with what looks like duct tape, and I almost blew a gasket. The only reason I didnt was because my wifes parents were with us. I was hoping the wing would cover all of the bad areas but of course im never that lucky.

Now I have a butchered hatch that I have to take somewhere and get fixed because I tried saving a few hundred bucks.

NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

b1adesofcha0s · 05-22-2011, 05:57 PM

Sorry to hear. The shop better be paying to fix the damages.

Mr&Mrs · 05-22-2011, 06:01 PM

To bad it wasnt a shop, just a word of mouth guy. I seen things he was working on, and past things he has done and they look amazing. Maybe he got hit in the head with a lead pipe the day I dropped the car off and suffered brain damage. He said he would fix it at no cost but I do not want him to even see my car ever again.

Ouch! If it was me in your situation, I would ask him to pay for it to be repaired at an actual shop. You have no guarantee that he won't damage it even more trying to fix his mistakes the first time. I had a word of mouth guy install my spoiler too, but he worked in a shop so I didn't run into any issues. I was cautious about it too at first, but I was OK when I found it was at an actual shop. Did a great job and only cost me $80.
