well the car is drivable, but with no intercooler i am stuck at 5psi:cry: . i have not been to bandi yet this year, i am debating on maybe this weds. but i would just embarrass myself with slow times. and any tuning i do is mute since the intercooler will change all the values. so there is realy no point in going other than trying to have fun. well tell me what you think.

I'd say do it, just as long as it runs good enough, ya know. It's no fun to not race, but it's a lot less fun if the car blows up!

Look no further than my car for the IC. Shane's got some lofty goals for his new one - it will be amazing if it ever gets delivered.

Eh, screw it shane, don't push the car w/ all that heat if you don't have anything to prove. If you go home with a 14, or whatever it would be that you'd run, would you feel like it's worth th $30? What if end the night on a blown motor, that's no good either.

Screw it, don't go man! It's Test/Tune. What do you have to Test? Why would you want to tune?

I ran my car when it was not running 100%. I recieved the slowest timeslip ever for a TT Supra. :(

Not only is it not worth the $30, it's not worth the disappointment. Wait till you get everything put together right and then hit the track.

The off season kinda sucks but it does help save $$$. I couldn't afford year round racing.
