Draggin

September 21, 2014Misc, Trips1320, quarter mile, racingJasey Michelle

First visit to the 1320 with the Abarth. Cordova in Illinois. Got in a handful of runs this afternoon and it was pretty consistent. Was hoping it’d go a bit quicker though, and I’m not happy at all with my 60ft’s, which is part of the problem. Car was in full street trim with stock 16″ wheels & tires.

Best time of the day was 14.651 @ 94.56mph and 14.717 @ 95.17 had the highest mph. Full slip and relevant mod list below.

Relevant mods when these runs were made

Uni-Chip Stage 2
MPx axle-back exhaust
MPx bored throttlebody
MPx lightened underdrive crank pulley

First Anniversary

Today it’s been exactly 1 year and 14,500 miles since Fi came home. Made a quick stop back to the same location where I took photos her first night home. Here’s the comparison shots. Much better sky last year; much better car this year.

Exhausted

Quite a few mods have been happening over the summer. Maybe I’ll get around to posting in more detail about them soon. They include a UniChip, rear swaybar, blow-off valve, underdrive pulley and bored TB. But this post is regarding the MPX axle-back exhaust I just installed. This kit was just released by MPx, and NGEN Customs & Performance was running a deal on it that was too good to pass up!

10K

Big day… rolled over 10k. Happened while cruising through Ledges State Park. Well, trying to cruise through anyway. Most of the roads are currently closed due to flooding.

Tints

June 3, 2014Appearance, ModsJasey Michelle

I couldn’t handle the the bright interior and looks of the car without tint any longer, so I made an appointment at Best Window Tinting, who did a great job of slapping on 50% on the sides, and 35% on the back 3. I decided not to go as dark as my other cars (35% sides, 5% back) to make this a bit more subtle and hopefully not get hassled by the troopers.

Just a few crappy driveway pics for now…
