Thread: Iron Man Convention Experience

wish it was the same for me. Made it to Atl and my water pump gave out lol and we live in Mia so neither of my boys could have hit the track without thinking about what could go wrong.

Kyle, that was 1 month after I bought the car and it was completely stock. I hadn't even changed the oil from the previous owner yet. 14" wheels and 185-series Dunlop tires. Stock from air box to tail pipe. I did remove the doughnut and jack from the trunk...

I talked to your dad a bit while he was timing you in the tower. We were talking about the old days of SCCA Trans-Am Under-2.5L class racing when your dad raced against the Bob Sharp cars and such and late 70's/early 80's racing. Good guy to talk to.

I was the one at the hotel you were asking about the drum brakes on the back of my TK3 Sapphire Blue Sentra because I think you thought it was a SE-R.

Thanks, I know you dislike drag racing. I kinda feel the same way the more and more I do it. I am just not meant for it. I like watching it much more than participating in it. I just had to run since no one else was....

Kyle: sounds like you and randy were on the same page, he drove 1250 miles each way with a few less drag passes but the road course was an all day adventure!

I saw your car and was very impressed on how clean it was. But I just put 2 & 2 together and realized that was the car I called the guy who sold it to you about buying. That car is definitely cleaner than he described. I'm glad it went to a great home.

I ran about 5 back to back passes in the kia. I didn't want to beat on the autmatic too much. Still have car payments on it. Then Cory Shepard aka (boomer) challenged me against his VE swapped P11. I spent the rest of the day running against his car and trying to make mine faster. Removing the muffler netted 4 tenths and removing the headlight on the intake side netted 2 more tenths. Started at a 17.6@79 and ended at a 17.0@81. All in the name of fun since my SE-R couldn't be there.

Haha, love it!

haha, i was just hassling kyle about needing boost :P

Unless your ready to completely gut it, your best bet is to keep it the way it is and enjoy it. I gave up racing on my p11 and bought a B15 for that reason. Now you can make the P11 handle right and be fun, but it wont be all that great to daily after that.

I'm thinking of gutting alot. the dash will be just the top...headliner will stay,front seats and front carpet...no door panels for the rear....drill out all the doors. basically from the front seats back stripped minus the headliner. there was a picture of a green p11 that i saw that had basically what i want to do..forget the forum name of whos car it is though. clean green one with edm bumpers.
