advice on track car!!!!!
- Thread starter lookinfor cobra
- Start date
where in sac you live? i dont believe i have seen a 96 mystic on the road around here, you may have the only one
I live in laguna now! was out @ surise last night and saw a few cobra's and mach 1's but didn't get to talk to anybody! nobody seemed to friendly .... maybe it was me but there were a LOT of cops out !!! been a while since I'd been out there.... where are you @?
im up in cameron park yeah sunrise is pointless as cops are everywhere i am not even going to risk it as i run an offroad x pipe and citrus heights pd will tow my car for that instead of a normal fix it ticket. if you wanna make a run against me there are plenty of places up here where i make runs that are away from everyhwere, or you can bring it to sac on wednesday itd be nice to see a mystic out there
sway bars, upper & lower control arms, bumpsteer, caster camber plates, etc
oops yea Iv'e got a few mods subframe conectors ,mm caster camber plates gears 31 spline detroit and a little more but I want to turn a corner not just a straight line since my last car was a 96 911 carrera 4 .... thanks steeda1982 thats kinda what I want along with a few brake upgrades
Hey 97 svt I dont want to come up I'm up there quite a bit I have a few people that live off cambridge drive ...... but would love to meet up @ sac raceway one wed night .......
well come this wednesday i finally got all my problems sorted out and am hoping to hit some good numbers this week but ill keep my fingers crossed
cool but I may not have the car with me because of my spring and sway bar install this week would still like to meet up and see what you run! what was wrong?
well i was running consisten 13.6 and 13.7s then i go the 4.10s in which created spinning on every shift
so the nittos came which solved that
but when the nittos came, the clutch started slipping big time
so since ive hit that number in my sig, ive added 4.10s nitto dr's, upr off road x pipe, and steeda u/d pullies along with the spec clutch. Maybe if god will smile upon me for just one day i can see a 12.999999999

yeah upgrade the brakes and if your going to run the car hard at the track alot for extended periods of time then you may want to get a bigger radiator. Also get some ss brake lines. You can also run strut tower bars to bring up te rigidity
cool see ya wed what time do you get there?
430-5 usually but you can get there later if you want
see ya @ 530 and what's your name ? sorry if I didn't catch it the first time thanks mike.....

i want to get my cobra out at sac raceway too. i cant now and wont be able to for awhile. i need to gte my cars issue solved first, but i should have that taken care of in the next week or so. 97 svt cobra: that offer i made on sacstangs.com still stands, i think our cars r pretty evenly matched but uve got the steeper gears. we'de have to go from a stop because if i tune my suspension right, ide get ya outta the hole. lookinforcobra: if i see u out on the rise i will make a big deal about it, i LOVE mystics(i almost bought one). ill c u guys around.

My advice would be lower control arms and a panhard bar. What kind of pads are you running? Brembo stock replacement rotors are only $70ish through Tirerack and that would be fine for the track. Get an extra set of pads/rotors for the track. Hawk Blacks or Blues would be great track pads to try. After doing LCA's and a PHB you should notice improved braking. :beer:
hey nick check your pm and call me thanks .....mike
