the corner of university and dean, the 7-11 or circle K or whatever gas station that is. Correct me if I'm wrong but the time is about 6:45-7:00. I got my tires on today and I'm busy breaking them in, cannot wait for sunday. Thanks for the hookup Louis, 40 bucks and 20 minutes: tires mounted and balanced. AWESOME! cya on sunday.

I'm planning on going to jamin's saturday night and meet you guys at 7-11 but i have to build a tilting bead with my group for school saturday afternoon and I have a feeling that could end up taking awhile. So if I dont make it out there saturday night I'll just give you a call in the morning.

I may go, but i can't drive in the autox because of some faulty suspension parts I have. Hopefully I get that fixed in a 2 months or so. jon you should give me a call saturday.

I just want to say, apart from looking similar to a lobster right now, the autocross rocked and I can't wait for a gainesville test n tune. btw, good job steve, you did awesome, not to mention everyone else. just to throw it in, my friend got a 55.7 ( i think) with an auto mazda 626 on bad street tires. I thought that was pretty good.

So i'm kind of a nerd and i datalogged my runs and i got some information
TP = throttle poistion
IAT = intake air temp

Run 1          Time: 47.769+1 cone

TP avg          RPM avg        avg speed          IAT avg
43.12%         4241 rpm        37.43 mph      137.9 F

Run 2        Time: 47.664+1

TP avg    RPM avg         avg speed IAT avg
42.87%       4358 rpm 36.97 mph 154.5 F

Run 3         Time: 48.237+2

TP avg        RPM avg          avg speed        IAT avg
42.09%      4402 rpm 36.55 mph       163.2 F

Run 4           Time: 48.200

TP avg           RPM avg    avg speed IAT avg
43.42% 4389 rpm    36.73 mph      165.4 F

So the first run I felt like I went too fast and sloppy. It had the fastest average speed but not the fastest time. The second run was probably the best with a good speed but those stupid cones. The third run was just too sideways. The last run I " slowed down" on and did more braking into the turns which is why there's more throttle but a slightly slower speed. and I definately need an intercooler. You can see how hot it got as it became heat soaked.

yes, the temps increased but they didn't go past 160's. honda radiator fans (which litter the junkyards) are pretty small and can be attached to your intercooler!
