I did, but I took the front/top bushing out and it's quiet again now. Still have the bottom/front bushing and the two back inserts, plus all 4 sub frame bushings and it's a bit noisier than stock but quiet enough for freeway driving.

Lol, I just did the same thing...it's amazing the amount of whine that little piece of whatever it's made of, was transmitting into the cabin!

Yes it is.

Got a new GoPro camera for shooting laps yesterday.

Which headrest mount is that?

Lunatic · 09-28-2017, 03:40 PM

I'm not sure, something that was given to me a couple of years ago and then I modified it for a screw tripod type mount.
Just found it.

I got my new RPF1s with Toyo RR slicks. Many thanks to my Sponsors Max at Race Consulting Agency for help with the Wheels, and Johnny at Big O Tires in Cat City for the mounting and balancing with Nitrogen. Tomorrow open lapping at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway.

Lunatic · 10-09-2017, 09:20 AM

I'm really happy with the new slicks. I only got about 6 laps as I developed a water leak some where. Saw water hitting my windshield so I pulled into the pits and everything on the motor was wet. So I had to call it a day and come home. Still don't know what caused it as no more leaking on the way home. I'll do a pressure test today.
BUT
I ran a new personal best of 2:08 with a passenger. Here a video.

Found the leak, did a pressure test and just a hose clamp broke.

Here's a couple of 1.42s from yesterday at Willow Springs International Raceway TRD Cup Time Attack. I actually did a best of 1.41.5 but didn't get that on Video for some reason. Elvira couldn't have felt better. Really planted. I'm sure with a few more laps I could have dropped into the 1.30s. Cant give enough thanks to my sponsors for their help. Race Consulting Agency, Cusco, Puroil, and Powerstop Brakes.

Mocking up my new $35 Harbor Freight tow hitch rack. Pretty slick. It just slides into the hitch receiver. Perfect for carrying my slicks to the track. Now I need to order the hitch.

Looks like I got a blown head gasket so I have started on pulling the motor. Will also be up grading rods, pistons, valve springs, ARP Studs and just got my new Blue Moon Oil Pan Baffle.

that is unfortunate to hear, was it due to track abuse?

Lunatic · 01-09-2018, 01:54 PM

I wouldn't call it abuse, but my car does see a lot of track time,and it does have 50,000 miles on it, at least 30 have been boosted, but at only 9 lbs of boost. My engine guru says it the head lifting because of the cheap "torque to stretch" head bolts.

Is Blue Moon doing the engine rebuild, too?
