Type R Club of America

I got my CTR back from the shop this last weekend and am really looking forward to putting some miles on the car.



And am looking to getting back on track with it as soon as things start opening up again, including here at Pitt Race.

Your car is looking good Ed.

Thanks, picked up ~ 75 hp on the Mustang dyno (291 -> 366) and ~55 "torques" , up towards redline (6500~7 K rpm) on stock internals.

Also dropped about 9.5 lbs per wheel since the tires between the 20" and these 18" weighed about the same, and with the rear seat delete the car weight is about the same with the rollbar.

While it was up there also had the paint corrected, ceramic coated and transparent film on the front, headlights and mirrors, to help keep it pretty.

... since Ryan wanted to see some pics before and I didn't want to start another thread.





But to stay on topic, seems the NSXPO in Portland has been postponed till next year Aug. 4-8th.

Looks great! What hood is this?

Thank You,
Previously had the hood wrapped in a similar body color, ... now primed, painted with film on the front portion of the hood for the stones and rubber track bits.

Nice increases! Less than my cars supercharger consumes to make power but still! lol

It was a conservative tune since I'm still on stock internals and @ ~ 6300 miles.

Everything right now was about Suspension/Safety/Data/Heat transfer and efficiency, with Flashpro capability from an app on the car's infotainment head unit, plus a fuel pump pickup mod w/Holly Hydramat (for those corners at the track).

@zyg, you notice hotter intake temps since you have an open box design?

I haven't "tracked" the car since getting it back (bedding pads, checking drivability, race belt/seat position), and I've got a modified nose and a different top mounted vented hood (wrt intake temps, as well as a larger throat turbo [7163 Borg Warner] w/cat delete & insulation of downpipe).

So, it's not really a direct comparison, but the tuner told me that even with these things the stock rods were a major consideration along with people possibly having issues shearing third/fourth gears, therefore other than top end gains things were left in the "stockish" range (though the front oil cooler seemed to have helped overalll temps).
