First let me apologize for any missing c's in this post... I'm on a friends laptop that has a messed up keyboard.
So after getting my hotair bak on the road for the first time in over a year, I've been dying to get someone to run me. I know its not nearly as fast as most of the guys here on the board (it IS a hotair) but still better than a lot of stuff out there. One of the kids in the class I teach (I'm a TA for Machine Design under the ME curriculum) has been talking trash about how his Sentra SER Spec-V would "totally own [my] 25 year old buick". I would just smile and say "probably". Well pulling out of campus today, I noticed him at the stoplight on fletcher ave. As I passed him, I gave the throttle a few pumps, which seemed to scare him (I have no exhaust after the test-pipe, so its loud, and the turbo spooling is DISTINCTIVE). At the next light we were next to each other. I looked over and smiled, and as it went green we went. I had built up 6-7 lbs of boost, and broke loose a little at first. Once I got traction, I scooted past him right quik. It was kind of embarassing. I let off after about 65 (traffi around, and cops are frequent sights) by which point he was way behind. I can't wait to see him in next friday and see what typical excuses he has.
I know it was a four ylinder NA 4-door import, but still a kill, and I was happy about it.
I just had to share this... really made all the money/effort this summer getting the car running again worth it. Also, the bigger DP, injetors, etc. I did ertainly seemed to help... I don;t remember the car ever runing this good I can't wait to get to the track, get the car dialed in and see how much I can turn up the boost (set at a conservative 13 lbs for now).
