I will probably be out there. Since neither of my cars work I wont have anything to race.

I sort of doubt I will get the inner tierod changed but I will try. I think I am going to drop the K frame if possible. No idea what I am doing and the stupid engine/axles get in the way :P.

They are not that bad to do, if you can get the shield off around the boot they come off fairly easily, or you can drop the K-frame but if your going to all of that work it probably is only $50. more just put a whole new rack and pinion in. On a Lancer its about a two hour job.

Matt is going to race his mini tongiht we will be out their with our twins but I probably wont race just spectate.

Yeah, I dont know if I will be able to get that clamp off the boot on the rack. The inner was only 24 bucks and the rack is like 120 so for now I just want to see if this solves some torque steer.

If that doesn't work just put a honda engine in it that should solve any torque issues you may be having

Oh man... lol. I can't wait to hear this.

Shifting with two hands (one on stick, one pulling cable) one knee holding the steering wheel, the other foot pushing the clutch in...And into 5th gear after multiple failed attempts while moving about 40mph...and got home

Was happy that I did some datalogging. Shows my clutch is slipping when i shift, even when I cant tell while driving. I can see the RPMs going "down" after a shift for a few tenths of a second and then rising again (because the clutch has finally matched the flywheel speed). Also shows that I need to get megasquirt done so I can increase my rev limiter to 7000+ instead of 6200 and be able to lean out the lower rpms so the turbo is more responsive. I have to set everything below 5500 rpms to high 10's a/f so that the 5500+ doesnt go to 13:1. Crappy stock volumetric table

I have an old datalog that showed me making 5 pounds of boost 500 rpms earlier by running 12:1 instead of 10:1 in the 2500-3500 rpm area. Makes me hate my ghetto fuel control.

I will have some video later. I messed up copying it to my computer last night, so I will do it when I get home from miller motorsports park today.
Props on the 13.3 brent
And props to the mini van for running 15.2 nice!

[Ubmbass]

wow, he ended up getting 15.2? went from what, a 16.3?? that's pretty damn good.
