Thanks for doing the leg-work on this issue, Mike. Got too busy to alot enough time to fiddle with the fuses today, but will do it tomorrow, no doubt. There are several sweeping on-ramps here in SoFlo upon which to test it out. So, you're saying that the braking might still occur, but the dammed throttle control will be disabled for a few start cycles.

I should disable both. I terrorise my passangers on on and off ramps:smile:

The new pavement is super smoth and fast. I had so much fun this trip to VIR and the X drove so good. I do not have any changes planned for the next trackday, I can go back to working on the driver mod again. I need to quit charging the corners so hard, slow in and fast out.

there is an off ramp here in town that has a nice bend in it that I like to haul ass on. its kindof like the s curves at VIR. now that I have the lowering springs in im sure I can take that corner a little better now..

love the video! and anyone else get their data tag results? my best lap time was 2:43:05 just interested in how everyone else fared! it was a great time, and i can't say how much i wish that my engine hadn't have blown. (wouldn't have minded as much if i had gotten more than 1 hr of track time)

Edit: Data tag number 20142, just for you buck ;)

Your time was very respectable for your first time at the track.
I found a motor over here with 27,000 miles the man wants 2300.00 for it. Yea would be a lot easier to take if it lasted longer.
My data tag # was 20129

autobodyx too bad i didn't know about this motor before. i just bought one through gadget for 1900 but its got a lot more miles.

torspd i haven't dissected the motor yet. been real busy at work. need to start though. i gotta go up to maryland probably next weekend to pickup the motor from URD

i see your best time was the second to last run on the last day. 2:29 very nice. what kinda power are you making with that TRD s/c?

Thankyou for the complement. I am pleased that I backed that lap up with another that was only 3 tenths slower. With close to sixty cars on track in my group it is hard sometimes to get even one clear lap.
I have never dynoed my X, others with mods like I have make 335. I should be in that range. I have enough power to drag that spioler to 130 down the front strait.

pics from VIR

So I got around to cleaning up my computer a bit and forgot that I had a million photos from this event that I never posted. I know this thread is old but I figured better late than never. if you want more photos just PM me and I can send the whole album to you.

enjoy,
chris
