Hey guys! Wish me luck, I will be taking part of my first SCCA National Tour this weekend in Toledo. I hope I can do well in SM, but my expectations aren't very high! I hope to finish 9th out of 12... Too many good drivers and crazy cars!

Really?
That's cool... be sure to say hello!

I know Daddio is really fast... I raced against Grant once... I know I can keep up..

But not enough to win or trophy..

FastBack 240 · 06-08-2005, 08:27 PM

What track is this at in Toledo? Air Port?

*HaLo* · 06-08-2005, 09:38 PM

Toledo Express Airport.

hurleyboi514 · 06-09-2005, 07:21 AM

i bet an airport would be a lot of fun! you know, ive only autox'd once this year, and i destroyed my tires b/c of massive understeer. i havent replaced them, and i dont think i will. im gonna stick to track events this year, me thinks... oh well, i hate being poor!

haha... ive been to three track events, so i suppose im making up for it!

anyways, good luck!!

I've autox'd twice this year, finish second both times in SM. I am now running some hoosiers and damn they grip. I can't wait to get to Toledo and try them out.

I also had some track trime... I am getting, but still no drifting for me.

Andrew Bohan · 06-09-2005, 08:55 AM

good luck mang!

*HaLo* · 06-09-2005, 05:09 PM

Wanna see it in action?

3MB file: http://www.supraquebec.com/halo/240SX.AVI

*HaLo* · 06-14-2005, 06:04 PM

Had tons of fun, had my ass handed over 11 times.

MovinUp-1 · 06-16-2005, 04:07 PM

haha that's awesome halo. How about a little more detail? Talk to any of the fast guys? I need to live vicariously through you. I've only made 2 events this year. Owning your own business eliminates free time.

*HaLo* · 06-16-2005, 04:31 PM

Sure thing MovinUp-1,

Let's get things out first.

OFFICIAL Specs of my car:
- Stock SR20DET (turbo, injectors, ecu) tuned with SAFC to 180WHP @ 7psi
- SSautochrome manifold, elbow
- 3" downpipe, resonated test pipe, RS*R ExMag
- K&N filter, 300ZX MAFS
- Strut bars, Tanabe Sway Bars, Autopower Rollcage
- 245/45R16 Hoosiers A3S04 all around
- D2 coilovers with 9/7 springs

Got some other goodies, but nothing great.

My car weighed in at 2920lbs... very heavy.. gotta do some weight reduction.

I was 4 seconds off Daddio's Evo VIII saturday, 3 seconds off on sunday.

I finished 12th out of 14 and did not have a bad day.

the 240sx is overweight and underpowered, combined with a driver that lacks experience. I did have a lot of fun though!

turtl631 · 06-16-2005, 06:00 PM

Why is it so heavy? Aren't S13s supposed to be around 2700 lbs?

So they claim.

I guess a fully loaded S13 Hatch with Hicas, SR20DET, FMIC, Rollcage and some other shit will do that to you...

rcviper · 06-16-2005, 09:00 PM

God damn, I thought I recognized your car! I was going to work on Sunday morning and saw you pull into the Speedway gasstation on Airport Hwy. I noticed the plates were from Quebec and thought holy crap that dude came a good way for the autox. I was in the GTO about 3 cars behind you before you pulled into the gas station. Great lookin' car man! And hope you enjoyed our little "neck of the woods".

*HaLo* · 06-16-2005, 09:25 PM

I don't remember pulling up to a gas station on sunday morning because my girlfriend filled her up on saturday night... But I was definitely in the area all weekend... It must've been me...

Thanks for the compliment, but it was REALLY dirty last weekend.

rcviper · 06-17-2005, 08:15 AM

Yeah I don't think you pulled up to a pump, you pulled off to the side kinda to wait for someone. You were being followed by a truck with a trailer and a horde of Integra Type-Rs.

*HaLo* · 06-17-2005, 09:15 AM

haha! Yeah.. I went down to Toledo with some friends, one driving a Type-R (who trophied DS), one driving a GS-R, one driving a N/A 300ZX and one driving a MazdaSpeed Protege (who trophied in DS too).

It was a lot of fun...

MovinUp-1 · 06-17-2005, 09:30 AM

Halo, you need a boost controller. At 12psi you should be around 220whp. Taht should get you out of the corners better.

*HaLo* · 06-17-2005, 09:34 AM

I have a boost controller. I chose to run 7psi... it's more linear.

10 psi gives me 200whp on the dyno..

And with more power, I would not be able to put it to the ground with my VLSD... I am spinning my interior wheel under hard cornering.

MovinUp-1 · 06-17-2005, 05:06 PM

At 12psi my car was making 217 at the wheels on a dyno dynamics dynamometer. I didn't have much problem with the VLSD at that power. But with the new turbo at 14psi it makes 250whp. The vlsd sucks ass at that power. No good at all.

*HaLo* · 06-17-2005, 07:00 PM

I dunno, i'm looking into getting a S15 diff now..

MovinUp-1 · 06-20-2005, 03:27 PM

Nismo diffs are cheap and work very well.

*HaLo* · 06-20-2005, 04:19 PM

I dunno about clutch type diffs.. too much maintenance... And i don't trust them for auto-x...

MovinUp-1 · 06-22-2005, 01:41 PM

maintenance?? I've had a clutch type diff in my camaro for years w/ no problems. And that car makes over 500 horsepower and uses 14" wide slicks.

*HaLo* · 06-22-2005, 01:42 PM

You have to inspect the clutches regurlarly for wear...

*AceInHole* · 07-09-2005, 07:18 PM

I'm sketchy on clutch type diffs, esp since I have a rear wheel lift problem (which would probably be fixed if i cornerweighted). I definitely need something tho, and I might end up settling. The 315's seem to make my VLSD seem open at times.

Anyways, HaLo came down to my region's tour stop. Someone put a brick on his accelerator plz.
