Thanks guys - as I said before CIN is a great shop and recommend them to anyone in the Carolinas...

Anyone going to CHIN Road Atlanta or next NASA VIR can see it in person... otherwise can read through these 124 pages for the details... I may come in here and do an updated spec sheet and video walkthrough at some point but that's not high on my list right now sorry

SPOHN 09-19-2013 06:19 PM

Next weekend. I'll come up there. You don't have a passenger seat do you?

thanks man

so my dyno runs came back
Map 1: Max HP 398.29 Max Tq 315.57
Map 2: Max HP 393.47 Max Tq 313.27
Map 3: Max HP 373.53 Max Tq 313.98

My NASA min weight for TT2 with big tires will therefore be 3,191 lbs coming hot off the track (spent fuel with driver and gear)... may have to ballast just a little

Ooh. I would love to drive my 370 at 3055lbs. My 05 (DE) 350Z is 2860 and is so much more fun to drive than the 370 at 3480. Though I think a lot of that is the garbage throttle response in the 370.

travisjb 09-22-2013 10:00 AM

I'm not there yet on 3055 but agree this car begs for weight reduction. Any event, I'll be running the bigger tire scenario to get to TT2 and so min weight will be 3191 not 3055. I may have to ballast just a bit now that I have phunk's fuel starve kit and will be able to run 1/4 tank

Are you using single mass flywheel, sig?

sig11 09-22-2013 02:32 PM

Nope. I'm mostly stock... getting the car ready for SpecZ. Expected to have it done by now but my cage builder has been really backed up with Miatas. :P Only clutch/flywheels I can run are the stock or NISMO.

This summer I ran better times in the 350 on street tires than I was running last year in the 370 on Hoosiers! Amazing what 600lbs does. :) My last event of the year I was about 5-6s off of my friends in C6s on conties/hoosiers. Should be right up with them on race tires of my own. I have some fun video once I get some free time to edit it.

Awesome weekend at Road Atlanta. First time there - that track is amazing fun but pretty treacherous. Not the kind of place to learn car control. There were ~90 that started the weekend and three cars left in pieces. Drivers seem to be fine, thankfully. Downhill section leading into turn 10a took one, another over-steered out of turn 5 I was told, and the last I think was near start finish (need to confirm).

My times were 1:40/1:41 all day long. Then I took a ride with a local and found some new lines and break points. Unfortunately only got one clean lap to end my day today with the faster line, but very happy with the time of 1:39.14.

Way home... 70 miles short of home base, nice couple honked at me to let me know that I was missing a wheel. Oops, guess these things weren't made for going 85 through crappy Charlotte roads!

BTW, figured out you can just strap the hub with missing wheel to the frame and limp home at 47mph... long drive
