Redline Time Attack Schedule for 2009 with Mazda Contingency!

afgmoto1978 · 07-15-2009, 05:44 PM

Synapse 50mm wg, 60 lbs main and preload spring with ten turns of preload would help alleviate that laggy T78.

Lucky Mofo, always wanted to do Barber, Road Atlanta and VIR. Also wish NASA would expand to the NW, way better classing for single turbo'd 3rd Gens.

Thanks Josh! Nothing like picking up some ho ho's on the cheap!! I'm still looking for 2 more in around the same size if you guys run into anymore as I have 2 new ones that I picked up for cheap a while back on ebay and need to more for a set. I'm stockpiled on V710's, but I think they wear out waaaay to quick in the heat of summer. I've been hanging onto them for the cooler fall days.

I thought about doing some upgrades to my current turbo setup like that and was going to hit you up, but I'm thinking I may go with a new turbo set up over the winter. Haven't really made up my mind either way though. What makes me want to keep the T78 is the fact that I can pick up another T78 that is fairly new for around $700-$800 that way if something happens to the one on the car, I can switch them out in less than an hour and be back up and running while the other one is being rebuilt. It'd be nice to have the more usable powerband that a turbo like your 500r SP has though on the smaller tracks. Love Road Atlanta and VIR though with the T78. Would prob. love it more with a newer technology turbo... haha. Actually, would this be the prefered wastegate if I went with something like a 35R/500R set up?

At this time I think Sean is only working with the Tial unit since it doesn't require him to make a new header like he did with mine. Though after seeing the Synapse wg internals, all you need to do is take it apart and reassemble it with the top half clocked to one side so the lines will clear the frame rail.

Well, weather forecast is not looking great for Sunday. However, Saturday is looking pretty good currently. Maybe we'll get lucky and have some good weather.

Brent · 07-25-2009, 09:49 PM

Well, pretty decent day at the track today. Not a big fan of Redline after today, maybe it was just because it was run in conjunction with Import Alliance. I think I'll stick to NASA TT from here on out.

The car is doing well. I had to put a catalytic converter on to run street class so I'm a little down on power, but I had plenty to spare before. My tires are on their last leg, but it's ok... I'll still have fun tomorrow regardless. It's also calling for rain most of the day tomorrow. I'm sure I'll have some video up in the next few days.

***Herblenny*** · 07-25-2009, 11:55 PM

What happen Brent?? Why aren't you a fan of Redline?

Brent · 07-27-2009, 08:02 PM

It was a combination of some things, nothing that big. Were you there Phil? It's always a pleasure getting to see your car

I didn't see an Exedy booth, but I didn't really look around too much. I did see a black FD with an LS1 that I was thinking was Stephen's maybe?

Aaaannnnnyyyywaaaayys... once I got on the track, it was a great time... all grins. I had 4 good sessions on Saturday that were all a full 30 minutes long that was more than I could handle. The biggest issue we had were trying to make our way to the gas pumps through the crowd. The time attack was a good experience and I'm happy with how I did. I ran a 1:14, the guy that won in my class ran a 1:12, and the 2nd place guy ran a 1:13. I know the car had alot more in it, but the driver was driving at 10/10th's of his ability

Here are the few pictures that I took while I was there:

The car show crowd:

Video from the first time attack session:

That's it for now. I'll be doing some brake work this weekend and hitting Road Atlanta for the NASA event the weekend after that.

Brent, you did awesome this past weekend....I didn't have a chance to come by your spot I was busy working the grill...but I'm pretty sure you heard me I was in the loud ass FC.

FC Zach · 07-29-2009, 12:53 AM

It was good to see ya Brent, nice video.

FD3sAutobot · 07-29-2009, 08:03 AM

Ahhh, I'm so mad I didn't go to this.

***Herblenny*** · 07-29-2009, 08:51 AM

Brent,

I didn't make it out. Last minute the photo session was delayed and I needed to head to ATL for the Miata meet. I had to bring something to Mazmart and also I made a good contact for next year's DGRR special guest.

Good to hear you did well at the event. One of these days,... I would love to do what you are doing.. Just need to find some more time these days..

It was a good event. We'll all have to get together and eat and go on a spirited drive or something once things slow down. How's your car doing?

Cool, hopefully I can make it out to DGRR this year finally! I hear you on time. One of these days I'm not going to be scrambling right up until I leave for an event... haha.

FD3sAutobot · 07-30-2009, 07:26 AM

My car's doing great! (knock on wood) Just stock piling parts for another month or two when I get a chance to put them on.

PortedRotorTuner · 09-12-2009, 09:55 PM

Nice Vid! I should have mine out at some events next year

Hope to see some of you there! I'll probably be doing NASA TT also.
