FORMULA D (New Jersey) DRIVER Updates

[Tuner]

I won’t be able to make New Jersey. I plan on being at Atlanta, Houston and Chicago. No more 240 for me this year. I will be driving my own personal Miata sponsored by Alamo Autosports, Motul and Stoid racing. I can't wait I just got the car running Sauturday. It had been down for 8 months… http://miata.cardomain.com/id/greyghost . Now I just need my cage and coilovers!

Hey Mikespeed I got your message yesterday. I will give you a ring tonight.

w00t! Eric brings the Miata out finally! Two Miatas now, New Jersey won't be the same without you buddy.

I'm not a driver, but I will be the official detailer of the Formula Drift series this year. I will be providing my services to the companies, racers, and the show car guys and gals. I did Houston's Formula Drift last year, so some of you may remember me.

We are very excited to get the FD year going. Here is what we have been up to since the D1 event last month.

- We took the GTO straight to the dyno in the same condition we left D1 in. Since we knew we were changing the motor out we wanted to get a baseline at were the current motor was at. We knew it had been abused and was starting to go, but we weren't sure when. The first pull it made 396 hp to the wheel. The second pull made 93hp along with a big bang. So it was a close call for us at D1.

- We have installed our new motor but haven't taken it to the dyno. We are getting a new dash display from UMI Racing along with a couple new engine monitoring devices.

- For those of you that were not at D1 we have also moved our fuel cell from the trunk to behind the passenger seat. This gave us better weight transfer and its easier (and faster) to refuel.

- Also we have lowered our final drive gear ratio from 3.91 to 3.7 giving us better top end for higher speeds.

That everything we're up to. We are also very amped to be running the Long Beach Grand Prix. Rhys will be running both the Drifting Exhibition and the Toyota Pro Celebrity Race on Saturday. See ya in NJ!

hey RMR, whyd the motor go? If you could email me, mike@bubbadrift.com , were on kinda alimited budget so any info on making our motors last as long as possible would help us out a lot.

also yall running ls2 now or still teh lsjuan?

[TeamRMR]

We're not sure why it went yet. We sent it back to Detroit and they are going to tear it down and see. I will let you know what it was when we find it out.

We are sticking to the LS1. We've already developed the LS1 for drifting, so we didn't really see a need to re-develope the LS2. Too much $$$

[NiteKids]

I'll be there not with my car but as crew chief for Verena Mei's Team and Nissan Motorsports

aka a fancy way to say leg humper

I don't have any pics or anything...I am pretty illiterate when it comes to uploading pics from cameras and all that stuff. I will try to keep everyone more informed on what I am up to and getting car ready for Formula D and stuff. I am still getting the McKinney car squared away. I have been working with BLAST racing for the tuning. They recently installed an HKS FCON computer and tuned it. I am still getting it fine tuned so it is ready for a pretty hectic upcoming schedule. It looks like I am on standbye for the Long Beach Grand Prix thing and the car has to be ready to perform there too. It is going right on the transport from there so it has to be ready in a few days. I am currently hunting down and HKS boost controller...then the car will get finished on Wednesday. I hope this little bit helps, more info to come soon.

Thers alot of people going to this thing!! I CANT WAIT!!! COUTDOWN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS!!! Well, I had a question to the drivers and people that are gonna be there. - I was wondering if the drivers get like free tickets to give to friends or something. You see im broke and cheap at the same time, and $25 at the gate is a small price, but like I said im broke, any chance you can throw some tickers my way!!

PS- If you cant its ok, ill just rob someone for some money
