Cool, a full tank of gas is your friend if you're worried about traction there. I top mine off at the station by publix every time. (in the 2000 that is, traction isn't as much of an issue with the 91' because it doesn't make very much power)

tree50maro

I got a box with a nice and heavy sub in there to help. Im going to put some new spark plugs in there before I go. Going to try out those new E3's. Might do plugs too, not sure.

iTrader: (3)

Well, I already made arrangements with work so I can be there... let's hope the weather is decent that day. I just wish I could find some better tires in the meantime.

tree50maro

Kool, you bringing the 2000 or the '91? If I could afford tires I would but I have enough tread to do with.

86 IROC

iTrader: (3)

The 2000, I changed a few things since my last track outing - I want to get some more seat time anyway. I've only made 2 passes in it since May of 05'. I don't want to race the 91' again until I figure out the knock retard issues. Plus the transmission slips like a bastard in this heat.

Does your car spin bad on the street? With your gearing, it should leave pretty good.

tree50maro

It can spin pretty bad. I kinda have to roll a bit before I get on it. When its wet I dont even have to try to spin. They do it without me knowing, Ill sit there wondering why Im not moving lol.

You might want to try playing with air pressure then. On radials, the best I seem to do at Orlando is 2.2's - I swap to old worn out BFG drags and I go low 1.90's instantly. .3 is a helluva difference from just tires as stock as my car is.

tree50maro

Yea mine are at 30 psi where they are supposed to be. Ill see what happens when I get there. First couple runs Ill see how hard I can launch.

how much is ur compressor $. where'd u order it?

tree50maro

Me and a few other guys are heading to OSW tomorrow night, weather permitting. If anyone wants to head over and check it out run a few. Its 10 dollars to get in and 5 dollars a run. Hopefully if the weathers good people wont show up thinking the weather will be bad and we get a good amount of runs in.

theimpaler68

iTrader: (1)

$129 for the compressor and $21.69 for a complete o-ring set. i got them form summit. they were on back order for a while though. but always shows up when you order from summit. mine came in excellent condition. i am going to try for the install this weekend and take the smog pump out at the same time. now i got to get r-134a to charge the thing. you can't win.

The weather isn't looking good, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed none the less. After the last two weeks I've just had, I really need a good night at the track.

hey man the LKQ junk yard in daytona has an 84 TA with a good driver fender on it

tree50maro

Yea weather.com says for Orlando thunderstorms from noon and on into the night. If it looks like its going to be bad at 3:30 I wont go. No need to burn gas and do nothing there.

86 IROC

iTrader: (3)

I get off work at 3:30 tomorrow... I work in WP, about 20 minutes from the track. So I'll pretty much know if I'm going or not by then. Just the same, I'll come home, wait until about 6, call the track and see what the status is. I've left my house here in a dowpour - and gotten within 10 miles of the rack & it was perfectly clear and sunny.

But, typically this is a bad time of yewar to try and go because it rains nearly every afternoon.

I just made a deal for some better tires today, so if I'm unable to go tomorrow - it just gives me more time to mount these tires up and recalibrate the speedo/shift points. The car should leave really hard on a 28" tire.

iTrader: (1)

rain sux. it looks to be coming in tonight just b4 6:00.

tree50maro

That makes me not want to go when you say that Will. Ill watch the weather and see what they say around 3 to 3:30.

86 IROC

iTrader: (3)

It's a no go, I just left that area... monsoon-like rain, thunder, lightning - the whole nine yards. I guess I'll try again in about a month.

tree50maro

Same here. Ill let you know when we plan on going again.

86 IROC

iTrader: (3)

It's nice & sunny now, kind of wish I had tried to go out there.

3rdGenWillie

iTrader: (1)

buy the time i got there they ran 1/8ths for 30 min then 1/4s. i ran twice, had some cooling problem. 16.4 80? mph r/t .4?? what i expected for lo3.

86 IROC

iTrader: (3)

Oh man, you went? Crap! Now I wish I would have headed that way around 6 pm. Was it crowded?

3rdGenWillie

iTrader: (1)

not at first. i should ran right away, waited and it got crowded.

Kwiksilverz28

Yea, the time I went with mrr23's new motor and ran the Avalanche, we were out front about 15 minutes before they opened the gates, and I ran the Av 4 times within like an hour before I parked it.

Get there early and run a couple times, and then decide if you want to fight the crowds...

86 IROC

iTrader: (3)

I even left work early to go yesterday... damnit. Oh well, I'll have real tires when I go next time.

millertime85

theimpaler68

iTrader: (1)

Hey guys, I submitted my info for registration to the SCFBA. Still waiting for my confirmation/activation email.

tree50maro

millertime85

86 IROC

iTrader: (3)

Almost 3 days later, still nothing.

tree50maro

Hmm Ill see if I can get an admin to check it out.

theimpaler68

iTrader: (1)

i got a code 54 being thrown on the 86. ecm most likely problem?

tree50maro

Code 54 is Fuel pump circuit. So check your relay first and wiring. Could also be oil pressure switch too. I wouldnt rule ecm just yet if the car is running the same.

theimpaler68

iTrader: (1)

hard to start car. have to turn key and hold a couple of times. i saw where it said relay and pump and oil pressure switch. i know the oil switch is fine though. it also said ecm. i was just thinking since i had the other problem before. need to check on relay. really hope the fuel pump isnt shot. so where is the fuel relay at?

tree50maro

Its with the three relays by the master cylinder on the firewall. I believe its the one that doesnt look the same as the other 2. I could be wrong. My 2 that looked alike were for MAF and MAF burnoff. Not sure if they changed them up by year or model but Ive seen different with other peoples cars.

theimpaler68

iTrader: (1)

broken wire between the ecm and the fuel pump. working like a champ now.

theimpaler68

iTrader: (1)

tensioner pully makes racket when a/c is on. so now i need tensioner pulley. plus turn signal switch (not lever). this is all on the 88. one thing after another

tree50maro

Thats how mine was, just one thing after another. Hopefully it has stopped....

well everything that becomes old and fragile just needs alittle attention to stay young and spry at heart. lol.
