VAST stage 3 11.82 @ 120.82 new personal best.

[Ko4S4WI]

A friend and I went to Greatlakes drag way for open runs.


This run was done on MS109, with a few degrees of timing added to my street file.
For kicks we stopped at a truck scale on the way home and weighed the car and I.

Nice run! What's your wheel/tire combo and how much timing are you at up top with the 109?

[dla79]

Looks good Neil!

[import automart]

Very nice Neil, Very nice!!

[PKmode]

Boomshockalocka! Awesome numbers for PJK04s and full weight (less spare tire and tool box)! Trapped almost 121mph! Less weight, a better 60', and a little more aggressive file and a couple more tenths could have been dropped. On top of that, we drove the car home problem free.

His car was the quickest car of the night but someone trapped 123mph. Only things last night that were quicker were the sport bikes. B5S4FTW!

Nice run! What's your wheel/tire combo ?

Wheels are Sportec Mono reps wrapped in Michellin 235/40/18 Pilot Sports (These tires run wide BTW). Not a light combo ~50lbs per corner. Tire press.: F- 30psi, R- 28psi.

Nice run Neil.

[michael66899]

Awesome run man that car is definitely moving. How much do you weigh and how much gas did you have in the tank when you were on the scales?

[GURUMAN]

[beemercer]

Nice work, congrats

[PKmode]

He's ~200 lbs. and she was on fumes when we scaled her on the way home.

[odhinnhrafn]

Nice run, man! I'd like to see what your car could do with wheels that are more around 20 lbs instead of the 30 lb Sportec's... (only thing that kept me from buying them...)

[b00sted4v]

very nice run and good 60'

[skunkoncrunk]

Impressive run, Neil!

[Ko4S4WI]

Impressive run, Neil!

Thanks man! get all your parts on yet?

[YnotS4]

What were your shift points? I don't row the gears the way you do but I cut a 1.6119 60 ft and turned 12.1 so I know there is more in the car

[J-b5]

Id like to know your shift points as well.

[Ko4S4WI]

Id like to know your shift points as well.

7200ish rpm 1st and 2nd, and about 6800 in 3rd.

[Congratulati0ns]

7200ish rpm 1st and 2nd, and about 6800 in 3rd.

[Ko4S4WI]

lol, just grow a pair and do it! lol

1-2 happens so quick it's hard not to redline

[Congratulati0ns]

yea i know what yours saying, i just dont want to hear that good ole grind if the syncros decide not to do their job and then =O

[turboSquatt]

Thanks man! get all your parts on yet?

Parts are installed, and turned it up to 16 lbs. Smooth as butter! But now I can't just give it gas and go around town....it's too damn fast. I have to keep my granny pants on unless I'm on the highway.

Its the 1-2 collar not the syncro but yeah, been there and done that. The trans that is in his car was rebuilt by and for Mike at VAST for his own car, that said, I don't think it was a crazy, special rebuild or anything. You got to pay to play and be willing possibly break if you're going to the track. Also, we found out later that he snapped one of the aluminum perches the engine are bolted in and that lead to a another trashed snub mount.

The 01E is why many people don't run fast times in the B5S4s. Lot's of people shift early in 1st and 2nd and try to ring out 3rd; big mistake. We found when he would hold 3rd longer, his trap dropped off a few MPHs. K04s no likey.

The goal of the night (11s/120 trap) was achieved and the car is still running strong, just in need of a little TLC. Both items are pretty easy to install in the grander scheme.

Great to hear, Tom! I'd be worried about high boost at elevation. 42lbers and MAF in now? 16-18psi sounds pretty solid for a k04, Tip at elevation. You've been really stackin up the miles. How was the last trip back?

Yup...Running 42# delphi's at 4bar....so more like 49#? RS4 MAF. Plan on going to about 20lbs for fun, and keep it at ~17 for DD. And...the trans shifts much better with the smoother power. It feels like a brand new car!

Last trip back was good....uneventful. Well, aside from getting pulled over in Nebraska for suspected dope running. I'm coming back next weekend for the rest of my stuff...so maybe we could get together for an hour and shoot the shit....?
