Comments Off on Our First Dyno Day
new engine, new mani, new fuel control, new… everything. we needed a good baseline for any future mods and we needed the fueling to be done correctly
@approx 92% throttle, in 3rd, dyno showed 168hp at the wheels, so +/- 190chp.
The reason I say 92% throttle is because we later found out that the stopper at the bottom of the accelerator pedal? wasn’t adjusted properly. When we checked our Zeitronix data it showed that full depression of the accelerator was only 92% throttle. Some day we’ll have to put it back on the dyno and see what our real numbers are. Either way, we were pretty happy with 168whp on a fully stock engine.
Comments Off on Waterfest 15 :: 4amRacing @ TyrolSport’s Booth
We hope some of you that recognize our car got a chance to check it out at Waterfest 15 at the Tyrolsport display booth. We were honored to have been asked by Mike, owner of Tyrolsport, and were more than happy to shine the car up for the 2-day event. We hope Mike and his crew were pleased with the foot traffic it may have brought to his booth. Thanks again to Mike and his team for all the hard work on our car.

Comments Off on The Digi & Dash are Almost Complete
After getting back from our shakedown run earlier today, we started doing some of the finishing touches to the interior. Interior is 95% complete. Still need to add some more padding, do some more wire management, mount the new rear view mirror, relocate the electric noise suppressor (currently zip tied to the relays), probably mount some PC fans under the PC, wire up the camera and radio… that should be about it I think.
Comments Off on Shakedown!
after sitting for a few months, the rado got a chance to stretch its legs again; albeit for short spurts around a curb infested parking lot, it was still a chance to shake things out and see what issues pop up. We had made so many changes to the car this off-season that any number of problems could have come up. We are happy to report that most everything checks out.
We had a small clutch issue, which we assume was air in the lines. We bleed it real quick on the spot which seemed to cure the problem.
We have a small issue of the PC overheating, but think we can solve that pretty easily – it was, after all, 95* out and we didn’t have a windshield with the 8″ black visor to help protect from sunlight.
here are a few minutes of Jason tearing up our track tires on a rock riddled parking lot
