Island 4/28

[iboostdoyou]

Alright well since my car sucks I missed the last njdsm shootout. Me and Tom (Blcknspo0ln) will be fighting it out this time with the stipulation that my car is in running condition. Just seeing who will actually show up to this one to either race or spectate, so that some of you more southern folk can work out cruising/carpool.

[rotorocker]

Okay, I am posting now. I am at Rutgers in New Brunswick. Who else in this area is going? lets carpool!

[Adriano]

I'm in for this week.

Adriano

[CollegeDropout]

[iboostdoyou]

[helite99]

as long as i can get my car ready, i'm in.


yeah i got a few bugs to work out also...

[rotorocker]

so...I wanna meet some new DSM guys, who wants to carpool?

[helite99]

i should have my in car cam by then...

[iboostdoyou]

[helite99]

[TuRBoTaLooN95]

ummm no... its mounted to the head rest facing backwards so i can watch you when im going down the track :wink:

that sounds light fightin words! :shock:

[iboostdoyou]

or for you to get some nice footage of me driving down route 80 following your tow truck

[Nate Crisman]

It's looking like Ill be ready to rock with my dsm May 8th. Most of my parts will be arriving this week so I can hopefully have it all together and running for next friday.

Coming in this week:
SCM61 internal gate
Vibrant 20" x 9" x 3.25" fmic core
(hopefully going to be the new cheap "budget' fmic kit that will work for 2g too)
Tial bov, gotta make fmic pipes and intake pipe
Brent's Kosei 16x7.5 wheels and big ass Micky Thompson Drag Radials


Still need fucking xcase bolts! how stupid am I. :evil:

[atc250r]

I thought that kid was sending you some bolts? PM me if you still need them tonight I'll look in the shed and if there is an extra set in there you can have them. LMK.

John

[Nate Crisman]

John

Shit John. you HAVE to come in like 2 or 3 weeks to Island on friday.
Utah and I are going to race our mx bikes, it's going to be fricken hillarious.

[atc250r]

I could probably do that. I'm not 100% if my car will be ready but I'll come and watch. Maybe I'll ride the streetbike since I've had it for almost 5 years and never made it to the track with it.

John

[iboostdoyou]

ooo John you made me remember.... last week at the track that guy took a spill off of his bike off the launch. I dont mean to poke fun at the guy since that has got to suck, but I had completely forgot about that. And Nate, I might be able to work something out with those bolts since I'm going to be heading up to John's place tonight... let me know if you want me to just pick them up for you and either drop them off at the shop or bring them to the track Friday when I'll be up that way. Your call

[Utah Joe]

one major problem though, no leather jackets. And I am sure as hell not buying one for this. Matt or jon no longer have theirs.

[atc250r]

I've got a leather jacket that one of you could probably fit into and I also have a Joe Rocket mesh jacket that is too big on me so one of you will DEFINITELY fit into that. The mesh one has the built in "armor" so it should be legal too. I don't think they'll let you guys run the dirtbikes on a Friday since it's street night and they aren't street legal. My buddy tried to run his Banshee there a few years ago and they told him not on street night but he could come back on a Saturday or Sunday and run it if he wanted to.

John

we had a conversation with the tech guys and they said it would be cool, even with the knobbies. Its going to be a comedy show either way as I have doubts that they will hook up, even doing 3rd gear starts. That would be cool though jon, thanks alot. You should bring the trike.

[atc250r]

I already asked, they gave me a resounding NO! to that question :lol: . I have a long swingarm and a set of Hoosiers for it that would work great at the strip but they would never let it happen. Although, you guys have some pull down there so maybe you could get them to let me make one pass. I promise you that thing is FAST and you won't be dissappointed.

John

[Utah Joe]

Well I have seen guys run quads, but never a trike. That would definetly be something to see. Nate and I were only planning on running the 1/8 as I dont think we will have enough gear to make it to the 1000' mark, let alone the 1/4. We will have to talk to them and see what they say.

[Nate Crisman]

BTW I talked to brent about the kill switches, he said RRP or any shop that has quad parts will have them..about $15. Quad riders need them to race or even ride at most of the practice days on mx track, so it's a super common thing. No sense in spending 2 hours & 3 trips to hardware store trying to rig something up, Ill just go spend $15 and buy it.

Even if we have one single leather jacket, that's good enough for us to take turns. I have my feelers out to borrow a leather jacket from some of Mike's friends who have street bikes, but I have a feeling they will be too small.

[AWD 4TW]

Ive seen snow mobiles run on fridays, so i dont see why theyd give you crap about dirtbikes. And regarding the "street night", fuck them they let those supid ass junior dragsters (i hate those things with a passion) run and they arent street legal.

[steveVR4]

What ever happened to the DSMer spirit?

:lol:

[twizzle]

nates not into dsm's, hes a jeep man! heh, if luck prevails and i fix my car, i should be able to go. already have the tires, just figuring out the clutch. if not, i'll count myself out, unless its actually worth watching, cause i'd rather spend 10$ on $3.30/gal. gas :wink:

[Nate Crisman]

:lol:

Right I forgot about the cheapskate DSM spirit. The motto of "why do something the right and easy way, when you can reinvent the wheel and spend 5X the money hacking shit together yourself"

I can see doing it myself if it would actually save time or money. Trying to rig up a $15 item is pure stupidity. It's like trying to build your own boost gauge, molding your own A pillar pod, or cutting out your own gaskets from paper.

[gtluke]

$10 on bikes never making it down the track regardless of hype

[Utah Joe]

$10 on bikes never making it down the track regardless of hype

I got $10 on the fact that they will make it down the track before your mustang does

[gtluke]

i can drive it there tomorrow if i want

[Utah Joe]

well I can place my bike in my truck and drive it there so I guess its just a matter of doing it then right?

[gtluke]

i can make a pass.
i'm only making this statement because i think this is the 4th year in a row this has been a discussion and it never happens.

[iboostdoyou]

Utah can piss further than Luke.... yipee

anyone actually going to show up this Friday?!? My car will definitely be back in time, as long as I dont break it again during the next 2 days I'll be there trying to get traction. I know some of you slutgers people want to go.......

[twizzle]

ill go even if im not running, only if someone brings a grill.

[rotorocker]

and beer!

[helite99]

or for you to get some nice footage of me driving down route 80 following your tow truck

wow thats original :roll: by the way my parts guy at work had a deal on water pumps, wna tme to get you 5 or 6? im out of luck cuz he doesnt have any trans

[iboostdoyou]

oh no! Not a blown water pump diss :oops: That one hurt really bad, thats it, I'm just giving up on trying to get the best of you!!!

[Nate Crisman]

$10 on bikes never making it down the track regardless of hype

Well, I got the jacket w/ plastic internal armour (sp?) from mike's friend. Just need to swing by the quad shop in newton and plunk down $15 for the kill switch (Ill snag one for utah as well) when im there thursday doing other stuff. I see no reason why I won't be there next friday with it other than if my talon is done Id bring that instead.

WHOOO HOOO I finally said something stupid enough to be Sig Worthy! :P

[Nate Crisman]

and beer!

Unfortunatly no alcohol on the property. I remember them saying it about 476 times last friday over the loud speaker. Tony will biatch slap you right over the sod fiend. I swear I saw him yell at "Mr Tech-Me-Hard" to bad he fell over in the pits.

[iboostdoyou]

WHOOO HOOO I finally said something stupid enough to be Sig Worthy! :P

hah yea I thought it worthy.

[CollegeDropout]

they'll never know you have beer unless you flaunt it and go walking around with it in your hand. soooo many people get away with bringing it there, i think ive seen like 2 people ever get caught, and one of them was this old guy who was holding a 6 pack right next to the concession stand cuz he didnt know u werent supposed to have it.

[blcknspo0ln]

wow, just found the thread. See you guys there on Friday.

Anyone want to meet up at 330 or so to beat the traffic?

[iboostdoyou]

I am off all day Friday so anytime you want to meet up is fine with me. I might do a quick boost leak test, maybe pick up some 100octane, quick retune, and head out to the track. Anyone that is available is more than welcome to join me. I'll probably leave local for island around 5:00

[DrSmile]

I am tempted to go as I think I have figured out how get my car to hit 112mph... if the clutch holds.

[blcknspo0ln]

That's exactly what i'd like to trap this week. Hell, i'll even take 110

good luck brosef, unfortunately I can't make it on Friday...I have to study :oops:

[billios996]

I think I'll make an appearance on Friday night.

[gvr4737]

ahh..

everyones goin to island again???

ive been there too many times this year not running my car its upsetting me...

maybe ill attend.. if nuthing else comes up

[Greg97GSX]

I won't be able to make it. Make sure somebody gets some good video footage :D

[iboostdoyou]

Someone thats going to go but not run has to get the camera going, because again, I'm not going to be able to. And Bill I havent seen you in centuries! 3 2gb talons are going to be racing in one night... we really do need this on camera 8) Will you be out early enough to meet up with Tom and I before we leave the Parsippany area around 5?

[blcknspo0ln]

So I went to go practice my launches tonight and my bogging skills are up to par :roll: I can't seem to keep the revs up unless I launch at 4k. The shitty part is that at that rpm I have to fight to keep the car from bogging AND spinning. I guess Friday should be an interesting day..

[iboostdoyou]

ride that clutch baby... ride it out

or get a 2 stage boost controller. Traction at the track is going to be different, so don't get your heart set on a certain rpm, depending on the prep it will be higher/lower than your street rpm. I take it you don't have a studderbox? getting some boost on launch will make it more consistent.

[gr8laser]

How bad is Island with plates and reg.? I am using a dealer plate. I need to get my car back to the track asap after all the bad luck at e-town. Car went a 10.1 blowing the ic pipe in 4th,but did go 118mph in the 1/8. Also how packed does it get,can you get more then 3passes in.

GET THERE EARLY. If you show up at 7:30 your gonig to get 3 runs in at best. If you show up at 6:00 you can get 10 runs in. People serously start to flood in around 7pm, and since tech is so slow, they all bottleneck there and at the gate. If you get in right away, get through tech fast, you can hot lap for the first hour while everyone waits in line.

Yea, when I went last week we got there like literally as the opened. Got 5 runs in with two 15 minute breaks before like 8pm. Then it got super crowded and only fit in one more run before the lines were outrageous.

[90goldtsiawd]

Won't be there. I have surgery tomorrow to have my tonsils removed... Yippee... :cry:

[billios996]

I should be able to bust out early tomorrow. Where are you meeting?

[iboostdoyou]

Well my place is sort of a halfway mark for Tom to get to Island so I was just planning on meeting near my house. Hit a quick boost leak test, maybe grabbing some food, maybe a little bit of 100octane in ledgewood, get a nice retune going, and get to the track by 6 at the latest.

[blcknspo0ln]

Sounds good to me :lol: PM me your address Kyle.

Also, slipping the clutch isn't as easy as it sounds. The guy that installed the clutch that had before me went with some crazy grabbing clutch, probably similar to the 2600. There's so little play between it grabbing that if I don't hit it perfect everytime, i'm going to have wheel spin / bog. Oh well, I hope those 10 runs tomorrow will help me learn it a little more.

Mike - I don't have a stutterbox nor a DSBC. Hopefully I will be going with link soon and I'll be able to play around a little more with the addition of DR's.

[iboostdoyou]

I dont know if my clutch is just worn down or if being 40 feet from the clutch pedal is an advantage or what :lol: , but I have little issue slipping out my 2600.
And you dont have the directions still for when you met up with that whole crew on the morning of the dyno day? Eh whatever, anyone who wants my address just let me know and I'll give it up. Bill I'm sending it to you right now just in case, but I thought you were out in PA now, so coming this far east wouldnt work out too well for you :D

[DrSmile]

Won't be there. I have surgery tomorrow to have my tonsils removed... Yippee... :cry:

Dude you are going to HATE life for a few days! Just thought I'd warn you... :twisted:

[T_K]

wow

I had that done when I was 10 or so and it was one of the most traumatizing experiences in my life. :roll: :lol: :?

[billios996]

I'm coming from work in Branchburg, which is down the road from Tom's work in Bridgewater.

Tom - are you going to the track from work tomorrow, and if so, what time are you leaving? I'm aiming to escape ~ 4pm. We can caravan to Kyle's.

Bill

[BigT]

Well guys, i do own a dsm and it doesnt feel like operating right. Plus with finals and papers, i havent had a chance to really tear it down and change the knock sensor. I'll probably be going down in 2 weeks.

Bill

Bill, Kyle and I haven't really talked about when we were meeting up. I was actually planning to leave my house at 2pm tomorrow so I can meet up with kyle at 3 and do some boost leak tests. I guess it'll be up to kyle when he wants to meet up, just check back up on the boards when you can.

[Utah Joe]

Won't be there. I have surgery tomorrow to have my tonsils removed... Yippee... :cry:

Dude you are going to HATE life for a few days! Just thought I'd warn you... :twisted:

that sucks kris, I just had mine out in december, cant say it was fun. Get some ramen noodles and prepare to loose some weight. I lost 20lbs in 8 days. (I tried eating ice cream but it was like trying to swallow razor blades) Although I have to say that it was the best thing I have ever done and if the pain was 10 times worse, I still would have done it. Completly cured my sleep apnea. Its like someone putting 3" intake on your mouth and you can finally breathe normally.

[iboostdoyou]

Yea guys whenever you can get up by me is fine. I've been awake since 8:30 this morning, and I should be just toolin around the house for the rest of the day. Just give me a call when your leaving so I am 100% positive to be home. And I can't get ahold of an air compressor, so if either of you have one that you could bring for the boost leak tests I would appreciate it!

[blcknspo0ln]

I don't have an air compressor :cry:

[T_K]

I'll officially be there to watch and a friend will bring a camcorder. Prolly around 6:30 or so.

No point to run myself with the current tranny...

[iboostdoyou]

make sure you come over to us and introduce yourself. I dont think I've ever met you. We will be the only 3 talons there, you can't miss us.

[T_K]

I think I met you last time, I was there for an hour or so but had to leave just when everybody came :roll: I saw a laser and asked if you guys are from nj.dsm and then you told me you weren't racing Pikachu cause your car broke down.

Just when I was leaving I saw helite's GSX and a red supra (Greg? :) ) pull in.

I even have one crappy vid of Pikachu doing 15something.

[gvr4737]

u have a pony tail???

[T_K]

yeah :P

I'm going to meet you guys at the track. I may be delayed getting out of work and I don't want to hold you up.

Bill

[rotorocker]

I would but I just got back from work and its Rutgersfest here. My roomates woke me up at 6:30am from starting to drink here. I just got back from work and theres about 40 people here. Apparantly we got 3 kegs and a couple handles of vodka to make mixes with. If anyone's interested 732-580-0138

[TuRBoTaLooN95]

I even have one crappy vid of Pikachu doing 15something.

hey! I ran a 14.6! :x

[T_K]

I have only your first run which was 15 something. I saw you then run 14.6 but camera was already dead :)

[DrSmile]

Well, I'm in for next week seeing how I just found a pretty significant boost leak on my mbc line. I plan on roasting the clutch big time!

[billios996]

I need a higher stall torque converter. Best run was 15.1 @ 94.5 with a 2.56 60'. Gay.

[helite99]

any other times people?

[T_K]

Yeah what exactly happened? All I saw was civics doing 12s and 11s.

[blcknspo0ln]

14.2 @ 110 owns me

[Adriano]

I went 11.0 @ 131. The track really sucked. I couldn't get traction for shit. It was a fun night.

Adriano

[blcknspo0ln]

Where's the video of me and you Adriano? My 1.5 seconds of fame with the allmighty "slow stock civic".. HAHA

[gtluke]

I went 11.0 @ 131. The track really sucked. I couldn't get traction for shit. It was a fun night.

Adriano

make friends with the starters at island. they have a shit lane and a good lane on each side of the track. they push all the street tire retards onto the shit lane, and when big tire classic cars come out they push the cone over and give them the good lane. i used to go there a lot and the dude would see me coming and kick the cone over and actually line me up in the groove. i think he liked my car or something.

[Adriano]

Luke....I actually noticed that on one of my runs. The guy pushed the cone closer to the center forcing me to be on the side of the lane.

Adriano

[billios996]

I got that also. I thought he was blocking the lane, the cone was almost in the middle.

[gtluke]

Luke....I actually noticed that on one of my runs. The guy pushed the cone closer to the center forcing me to be on the side of the lane.

Adriano

go talk to the starter if you can, or yell out the window. i assume you are on slicks right? make sure he knows you want to be in the slicks lane.

[Nate Crisman]

Yup. If you are on street tires or are spinning your tires alot, they are going to keep you in the suck-ass lane. the cars with good traction stay in the good lane. If your spinning like a mofo, your just going to rip up all the vht/rubber that is stuck down to the track surface and ruin it for everyone else. Iv never seen them let fwd cars run in the slick goove, even with slicks.

[gtluke]

fwd cars tend to drag a shit ton of water through the lanes too.
