    Do you have a datalogger/keydiver chip?

    Assuming its a dsm check galantvr4.org

    There is a big write up on finding the phantom knock.

    Good luck!

    Noise lifter tick? I get a little phatom knock from lifter tick every now and then. I can't wait to get down there and see how my car performs. I still need to get a turbo/manifold gasket and bolt. The I can get some tuning done.

    I dropped the car off there today for some final touches that hopefully can help out.

    I wouldn't be suprised to pick up the car tomorrow with a bunch of stickers on it haha. Tracy did that to Jay's car at the SELOC meet.

    But I wanna rock one for the showdown. Like one on my rear window so cars can read it as I go down the track...

    I won't be able to run my Evo...although it will be there. It will be just broken in about the time Dan goes to NOPI so it won't be tuned. It has 700 miles on it today! It will probably have right at 1000 at the showdown! I guess it might be tuned next week.

    that sucks sorry to here that. I won't be running either. I was preparing my car for racing tommorow and as I went to replace the turbo to manifold gasket the bolts got fucked up. It seems that the shop who drilled them out last time didn't retap the threads correctly on my turbo

    My best time all day was ran early in the morning with a [email protected], all my other runs I had issues .

    I red lighted about 4 damn times and missed qualifying lol

    60' : 2.7
    1/4 13.98
    MPH: 107.75

    That was my 2nd run ever on the car after that my 2nd gear syncho went to shits and I couldn't get into 2nd on any of the runs.

    Which pretty much cost me the win in the fwd class. I finished 2nd tho. Oh well.

    And I know the 2.7 60 ft sucks but I was pulling some 2.3s towards the end of the day but couldn't follow up with any good times because of 2nd.

    Almost every trap I had tho was over 105.

    Damn great times, I was always curious what your car would run.

    You guys wouldn't happen to know who won the RWD class and what they ran? I really wanted to go but decided to spend some time with my son today.

    Sammy from tiger racing won the rwd.

    His fastest time of the day I saw was like an 11.9 but he in the finals he ran a 13.3 or so.

    My times should have been better, but my damn transmission. The trap was nice...the car pulls soo damn hard on the top of 3rd and 4th. I reeled in the 1st 2 cars I lined up against.

    Your car is a 12sec car on slicks. One of my customers, whose car I tuned, did pretty well today. Before today, he hadnt run better than a 14.4. Well, the slicks went on, and his times got much better throughout the day, with him eventually running a 12.8@109 in the final round of the Showdown class, and actually taking 2nd place, lol. His car was a red 2nd gen FWD Eclipse. He was making almost identical power to your car, and when I was helping Dan with your car the other night, we both were saying how deceptively fast your car really is. Not to mention, he was running with no LSD either. The track times dont do it justice at all. If you had slicks, it would be a totally different story, and would most likely be even faster than the 12.8 that my customer ran.

    Yea, I mean I can tell my car is fast and should be running way lower then what it was. Just when I finally got the hang of how to launch it my 2nd gear decides to screw up. Oh well there is always the spring.

    My fastest run of the day was just what I expected, 14.2. I never can get better than a 2.4 60' time in that car .....
