            2014 RUN!


            We ended up 25th overall and 5th in time attack this year! Hoping for good weather again next year as it was a blast not being as sketched out!












            Ill be searching the internets for more pics and video to throw on here soon.

            Car still has a high rpm cutout which we kept fighting to figure out and we now think is crank signal noise which we weren't able to dial out with the old firmware we were using on our megasquirt.. If all goes well for next year Ill have a new ecu to improve this and about 10 other things and hopefully some other goodies to try to break at least the 10:30 mark.

              This is awesome, I would love to go out to next years event and see this car. I had a similar issue with high rpm cutout with a set of bad injectors but I doubt this is the case.

                              Yea Im running apex 17x10's all around with spacers 15mm up front and 1- 3/4" bolt on ones in the rear. Still using ground control mustang (if I remember right) struts with shortened tubes...Still using e30 control arms, basically modified the spindles to make e30 m3 style strut tubes with slightly more offset.

                              Rear is still ground control shocks and e32 or e34 (which ever one had the highest offset) hubs with 5mm shims in the stock e30 trailing arms and custom axles with Porsche 930 sized cv's... IE bushings and camber toe kit.

                              Im tempted to go with larger rims next year for the rear at least 12in with some custom rims with the perfect offset but I first have to solve the hesitation/get a newer ecu most likely aem, set up a cooler for the transmission, maybe a stronger diff/ driveshaft... the list goes on and on.

                                Very nice!

                                My friend has the exact same powerplant making the same power with the same issue.
                                At first it was a wobbly harmonic balancer, fixed it, got a (better)retune and the problem is back.
                                We suspect a bad RPM signal / differential sensor. Don't know.
