[armada14arv]

[PEZi303]

i just talked to chris (gladu) and it looks like i'll be joining!

[armada14arv]

[PEZi303]

yep... its 69 GP chris!

thanks everyone for the welcome

[armada14arv]

[SuperWhiteGT4]

just so everyone knows we still have one spot left on the team if you or anyone else you know wants to be on a team

I heard your team smells bad. What is the incentive to join?
:p

[armada14arv]

hey we dont smell that bad you could get used to it!

[Chris Gladu]

that my friend is the smell of victory!

[PEZi303]

either that or the awesome smell of catless exhaust :p

[gordon0412]

that my friend is the smell of victory!

Like your way of thinking. BTW it's tain. :p

[PEZi303]

well guys i'm excited for this next event... since the last event i have ditched my cat for a test pipe... removed my dashboard and will hopefully have my battery re-located... lets go get 'em!

[armada14arv]

oh yea im looking forward to this next race. i might be steeling chris's wheels and tires

[Chris Gladu]

and i might be stealing dwights car :D

[PEZi303]

well guys... its ready!

dash and most of the heating stuff removed... and battery relocated to where the passenger seat was!

chris, when is that thing gonna be tuned? i wanna see it run!

[armada14arv]

well he ordered the aem fic through mac autosport like 2ish weeks ago and its still not here :mad: so this week hopefully :confused:

[Chris Gladu]

at this point, i dont think it will ever happen lol, like dwights motor swap and andrew taking his roof off :p

[armada14arv]

well some time in the next 5 years is my goal :D

[Chris Gladu]

i want to check out that truck this weekend looks sick

[armada14arv]

i think we all do!! whoever races a truck most certainly equals a badass! :D

[PEZi303]

its nothin special my friends... at least not yet

in the future there is a new fuel system set up for E85, port and polished new head and a new cam. suspension wise i'll be getting beefier torsion bars up front and fiberglass composite leaf springs in the rear with some 285 r-compound rubber all around... i'm also talking to chris dorsey this weekend to see about making me a new dash as right now my stock gauge cluster is sitting on my last remaining piece of interior (a center console type thing)... and of course i'll be getting all new gauges to fit in the dash

all of this is legal in my class so once its done i should be competitive!

i'm lookin forward to meeting some of you guys tho!

[armada14arv]

sounds like you got your work cut out for you.
yea we will try to make our way over to you at the next race.

[armada14arv]

hopefully my car doesnt die at ppir again almost every time we have a race there my car dies :mad: then i have to unplug the maf and baby it all the way back to highlands ranch :(

[PEZi303]

oiled air filter??? (k&n or something?)

[armada14arv]

ive tried it all and decided to go back to stock intake thought it might be vibrations before i was running my short ram with a hks dry flow and oil catch can to keep any engine oil from going in there. so we will see if the stock one fixes my demon

[PEZi303]

yeah the stock one should do the trick... i was going to suggest an amsoil Ea filter http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/eaau.aspx

[armada14arv]

im steeling gladus wheels! :)

[armada14arv]

by the way we filled our last spot on the team chris is going to add him tonight 42 SS Robert Krauter
welcome to the winning team!

[PEZi303]

those wheels look sweet on your car!

[armada14arv]

i cant wait to see the team results

[Chris Gladu]

me too, i was looking at our results, and it looks like we should have quite a few over the 1000 mark. we owned sunday

[armada14arv]

i know i got 1005 and you got 1041

[PEZi303]

i'm not sure i broke 1000... somehow my cleanest fastest feeling run was almost the slowest one i ran so i had to rely on run 3 which was kinda squirrelly to say the least. once i get my truck to be a 'real' GP car... we'll see what happens but that will take a long time. for the august events and the rest of this season my plans are a new fuel system which i'm trying to pick out... and heavy duty endlinks up front which i'm in the middle of doing (they'll be done by tomorrow)

let's just hope we picked up another win!

[Chris Gladu]

well i fixed several check engine lights and established a credible basemap on the fic last night. Now it can hold idle and build rpms without the hiccups and backfires. TUNE TOMORROW!!!! :eek:

[armada14arv]

im going with you

[PEZi303]

i'm excited!!! i wanna see it back out at the track

[PEZi303]

i see a TRD SUPERCHARGED SCION registered.... i r excited

[armada14arv]

its true she breathes once again:eek:

[Chris Gladu]

thats just a rumor...

[hderr]

Do I still owe you guys cones? You should each have 3 cones now
and I owe you one for #10.

[Chris Gladu]

we just picked up the first two yesterday, so yeah I think we get more whoohoo!

oh and other team members who were not there sunday, I have your cones :)

[PEZi303]

That was a fun event... good job on another win guys!!!

I finally scored a little more towards what I wanted points-wise... maybe once I get suspension and tires my index won't hurt me as bad... a prepared class on basically stock suspension and street tires can't be helping me much :rolleyes:

[Chris Gladu]

hey anthony, maybe ill join your class and give you some competion, street tires FTW!

[PEZi303]

LOL... I'd hope you'd beat me once you get the swaybar fixed... but then I may have to protest considering your car is not GP legal :p

[PEZi303]

Chris, I thought I saw you in the springs today cause there was a guy driving a tC exactly like yours... same wheels and all. Don't think it was supercharged though. Kinda wondered why you would be down here in the first place and then I pulled up next to him and realized it definitely wasn't you

[Chris Gladu]

yeah for sure was not me the springs are much too far from here. so im not welcome in gp? huh ill make my own class then... :mad:

[PEZi303]

haha... yeah that supercharger for sure isn't legal

its kinda interesting to see the other GP cars... if you go to schedule and look at the entry list for nationals there's some strange stuff

[Chris Gladu]

ill have to do that. so your telling me engine swaps are legal but my factory supercharger is not?

[PEZi303]

yeah... somethin like that... i'm not a specialist on the rules but i'm pretty sure there's no forced induction in GP

[PEZi303]

just read all the rules looking for ideas.... definitely not looking good on your supercharger


i realized something i was unaware of as well as far as my suspension... i can replace the original components, ie: torsion bars, with any other sort of torsion bar as long as it mounts the same...... long story short, i guess you can't make coilovers in GP

[armada14arv]

i caved and bought some borla replica headers :o

[PEZi303]

are those unequal length?

[armada14arv]

yes they are

[Chris Gladu]

thats going to sound sick!!!

[PEZi303]

yup!

will they be on for the 20th?

[armada14arv]

we will see because i need one more race in gs for my novice status

[PEZi303]

lame...

i'm trying to pull a special 'high points' run out for the final event... nothing is finalized and as of right now i can't tell you any details except that i would be in a different prepared class and not in my truck

if all goes well though... i'll be helping blackout quite a bit in points :D

[armada14arv]

ill be shooting for a 900+ at this last race

[PEZi303]

that's what i always TRY for... but i just don't think it'll happen until i mod the truck enough to support my index... that's why i'm hoping for this alternate ride

[armada14arv]

headers are on it sounds mean!

[PEZi303]

is that with the stromung? or the old setup? cause with the stromung it will sound like pure sex

[armada14arv]

no with the old set up but stromung should be here tomorrow

[SuperWhiteGT4]

So, Blackout--

how's your chances looking for taking first this season?

Oh? Not Good?

I guess we'll go ahead and take it for you.

For the second season in a row...
:D

[armada14arv]

oh we got something up our sleeves it involves a knife and your tires :rolleyes:

i got the exhaust on bolted right up no problems with the mid pipe or muffler

[PEZi303]

Nice!

[armada14arv]

931 points i finally cracked 900

[Chris Gladu]

only took all year lol your index is insane! hey that might help a lot with the whole team thing

[PEZi303]

i moved up in class from and index of .841 to .861 and was still only 2 points short of last event! i guess that means i did good even though the points won't show it lol.

nice job dwight!
