just wait till winter/time change hits and the sun starts going down before 6:00 pm, irwindale gets crazy fast then when temps dip below 60F. Thats when I run my best times. its a good 2mph faster for me on the stock turbo vs a normal mid 80's cali day.

was this your first time? 1.88 60' means theres a lot of room for a better time. with practice you'll be doing 7's in no time.

were you the guy I saw with the passenger seat and back seats taken out?

I'm pretty sure that time is what you ran when I was there. we chatted for a bit and you were considering sellling your sti.

I have the same problem on mine after about 200 or so passes, and 40k miles

clutch doesn't slip for normal driving and road racing. But it wont hold up to a full boost drag launch. I really have to launch pretty easy or the clutch will slip. Cant really go full throttle till clutch is fully engaged.

i probably have about 50 launches on my clutch, 1 auto-cross event, and about 10 intense canyon runs about 3-4hours long each. Out of the life of the clutch, the last 18k have been on the gt30R. I need something strong now!! Grab my 1.6 launches and hopfully high 7's in the 8th mi.!!
