Thanks!, Getting the car tuned out this weekend. (hopefully)

[Do Boy]

About a week ago Inline Racing tuned out my car on BRZedit. The car made 280whp on wastegate. (4.75lb spring). Today (after all the TX2K13 events) They had time to mess with it some more. So they turned up the boost to about 5-6lbs. and it made 303whp. Then they turned it up to about 8lbs. Clutch started to slip on the dyno. So they unstrapped it to see if it was the load of it being strapped down and being on the dyno that made it slip at that power and tq level. Took a hit on the street and the car feels amazing! Wish I had a clutch to see what the car is making at this point. My guess would be upwards of 310whp. Time for a clutch and see what happens.

Sorry their tq reader wasn't acting right. So no tq readings. :/

4-5lbs of boost 280whp:


5-6lbs of boost 303whp:


7-8lbs of boost 202whp clutch slipping:


All three runs:

Yeah, most people say once you crack 280 whp you will need a new clutch (as the associated torque is too high for the stock unit)

How do you like that arm rest? It doesn't get in the way of your arm/elbow during shifts?

With all the other investments, why Rotas?

Wow nice FR-S man. Can you recommend me some shops in Houston where to get some good aftermarket parts? Thanks

To be honest I don't know now lol. At first rims and a drop were going to be the furthest I went and I refused to spend 3k+ for rims then buy tires for a daily driver that would no doubt eventually get curb checked here in Houston. I never thought I would go this far. I still don't regret the wheel choice because they served the purpose they were bought for. I'll be looking for a new set of wheels soon thou.

Thanks. I deal with phastek or assa racing in Houston. Everything else is online.

Why do Rotas get such a bad rap. Yes they are cheap wheels but how bad are you going to cringe when you dump 2-3 grand on wheels and the curb check be shit out of them. My brother bought a set of Rota Shakotans for his AE86 and "regretted" not getting better wheels. So he bought a set of Work Equpis and then bent one of the lips and now regrets spending the money on them.

Rotas do the job just fine, look good, and you don't have your sphincter clench up if you have to replace one. I think baller wheels are good for going to meets or car shows, but to daily, I'll stick with something I'm not afraid of ruining. Hell, daily the cheapies and then have nice wheels set aside for when you do plan on going to meets/shows and what not.
/end rant.

Love your car btw. Maybe one day I'll see it in person us being from TX and all.

My point exactly lol. I do need my wheels for car shows thou. They tend to lose points for me. And will prolly hurt my chances of being featured on a cover of a magazine.

Thanks, Well I'll be in Ennis Next Weekend for IFO, Hope to see you out there.
