    SendCutSend

    I may be way behind, but Kaleb has been using SendCutSend.com for custom-cut metal and I just used them for the first time. I needed to re-design the shifter cable bracket for a different angle. I drew it all up in FreeCad and sent it off and within 3 days I had the bracket! There is...

    New DF Shifter Review

    I finally got around to installing the new DF Shifter, just in time for the October meet up. I took the car our tonight to test it and my adjustments. Wow! I really love this thing. Sitting in the garage, you can tell it feels a little bit better, but on the road is where you really notice...

    End the Throttle Bounce

    We have always had a bit of throttle bounce that ends up in a vicious cycle of ON-OFF surging. Typically, it seem like it gets started (but not always) from a little bounce in the foot where you abruptly press the pedal and then quickly let off. The car then surges forward some and then back...

    New Catch Can

    If you are not familiar with a catch can, they "catch" all of the suspended oil in the crankcase and valve cover venting. Typically they are vented into the intake so it can be burned, however, the oily air can clog up the intake intercooler laminova tubes and cake the back of the valves in...

    Free Dash Button Panel

    I have a button panel that we printed that the surface didn't come out as well as it could have so I'm giving it away for free if you pay for actual shipping costs. The finish isn't terrible, it just could have been better.

    Throttle Surging

    While our car drives soooo much better after softening the suspension and a good tune, I still have a slight oscillation from time to time especially in second gear. Now that HP Tuners has stand-alone logging available, I pretty much log all the time now. Well tonight it wanted to do it again...

    Tuning Results

    Recently I posted in this thread about how my current tune (at that time) was having to add some fuel. I speculated that it was because the last time I was tuning the car, it was fairly hot outside and when running the car during cooler, dense air such as this spring, it was getting much more...

    Dash Lights

    I just noticed that when I turn off my headlights, the dash (instrument cluster) lights go out. I would have assumed that they would get brighter for daytime viewing like my other vehicles. How do yours work when you turn off the headlights? I left the ambient light sensor in the harness and...

    Good Ectotech Video

    I ran across this video and found it very informative and interesting. Even though the title is about why they fail, it's not really speaking badly of the engine, just some things to know and understand about the engine. I love how quickly he went through and covered the entire engine in a...

    [SC TUNE GUIDE #2] HPTuners; Using Templates

    The purpose of this thread is to show you how to use a template in HP Tuners. This function allows you to apply a specific set of changes to your tune time and time again without worry of forgetting one here or there. Let me explain a bit more, in order to prepare for tuning, you have to make...

    Throttle Dead Space

    I'm starting a new thread so as not to highjack Zoom Zoom's clutch thread seen here. I noticed that our car will idle fine at 850 RPM (when warmed up) and then you can depress the throttle very slowly and see the change on HP Tuners on the scanner but the RPMs will not change until you keep...

    [SC TUNE GUIDE #1] HPTuners; Goblin Basic Settings

    I'm going to do much the same as OptimizePrime did over in the Tuning>SS/TC section and cover some of the basic set up and changes I have made to the supercharged version. While you may not want to make every setting, and I don't suggest you do, I want to cover some that you may want to learn...

    First SCCA Autocross (STL)

    Kaleb ran in his first autocross this Sunday. This one is in St. Louis, MO. He was the only one in the EM class. While he has racing experience with ATVs and RC Cars, this was his first in a full size vehicle. The first lap, I instructed him not to be a hero and just run the course and make...

    Track Apps

    I'm looking for input on track apps for autocross. I have TrackAddict (free version) and before I upgrade to the pro version, I want to see if there are others out there that might be better. I don't have any problems with it, just want to know if there are better options. I have a VeePeak...
