I just ordered another CM stage 4. It was most likely the wheel hop off the line that killed my old one. That's my fault for being on a stock suspension. The break in period will give me a little time to get a decent pair of struts under the front, maybe even lower it a little.

I'd really like to know what pressure plate the Bahnhoff clutches use because the disk is def a clutch masters because mine has the same green sticker on the disk..

That SFI sticker is used for numerous stuff. It is just a certification sticker. It is not specific to any one manufacturer.
The SFI Foundation, Inc. (SFI) is a non-profit organization established to issue and administer standards for specialty/performance automotive and racing equipment.

Yes, it's an SFI sticker

And time for an update :D

I picked up a dual exhaust rear section from UriahRR over the past weekend and modified it to fit my existing catback so that my single and dual exits are now interchangeable depending on how loud/ignorant I want to be

I polished it up a bit and it looks great. I'm going to bring the tips another 1/2" higher when I get some more time to cut/weld.

What do you guys think?

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics. I'll replace them with some nice HD photos when I get a chance :)

Here's a clip of my first official track run. I was still trying to adjust launching rpm and tire pressure but ran into some "technical difficulties" on my 3rd run. Still not bad, but I've got plenty of room to improve.

Video creds to Jake Probst

Enjoy :D

Just got my AGP Race BFMIC! I'm going to fab up my own crash bar. :D Time to cool things down a bit then crank up boost once I get my 4bar MAP sensor.

Everything ripped apart


Image

Painted the surrounding area black to clean up things up a bit

Image

Had to trim a little extra to make it fit but she looks good!

I took the time yesterday to install the new manifold. It looks so great, I couldn't be happier with it! I also got everything else back together and took her for a spin. My old manifold was deff a bit restricting. I'm spooling around 4200 now, opposed to 4500 and top end deff pulls harder.

I saw a guy on Facebook who is building a pretty wicked SOHC as well. He has a pretty big turbo on the way and something about a surprise manifold. You seen it? Guy seems like he may know what he is doing.
