Sloppy Mechanics

Ace's S14 in Action @ Pocono

Took the turbo car up to Pocono on the 22nd for some HPDE fun. We were on the Double Infield Configuartion, which consists of the Front stretch backwards, north course infield, nascar turn 2 and back straight, South Course infield (no hairpin tho) and then back on the front straight.

The car ran awesome, and pulled strong all day at 14psi. Now that I'm up a level, I really see how I need R compounds to even play around with the big boys..even at 14 psi (we'll say 300ish whp) the car works phenominally on the circuit. More stick time is needed here, but the car is finally becoming more and more complete.

It was the first even with the Rear cross brace, and I certainly think it was worth every penny. I can't say the same for the Silly rear c pillar brace, as that's proven to be nothing more than a fancy shiney bar that blocks headlamps from people behind you at night. However, I've concluded that it may make for an excellent incar mount, so stay tuned!

Only thing to go wrong: Cracked my front lip. I think I know where (dipped it off corner like a dumbass) so I'll hafta take it off and plastic weld or fiber glass the bitch...for now it's got blue tape on it hehe.

I also need to look into a 4 pt roll bar of some sort!

Ray's car did well too, much like it always does. Neat to see the little thing get so many compliments from people that have no clue what it is.

Pete came up for a ride, seemed to enjoy himself in the Turbo Sentra. Sherry showed up as well, and took a few rides in the turbo Sentra herself.

The 240 lives again, now I need to save my doooolars for tires :D
