Unhappy 1st time at the track results

my 1st run i beat a cobra out of the box but then his super charger kicked in and he blew me away...expected thought lolz
I have a Ka with a KnN filter and an exhaust.. plus my MAFS wiring is all shitty and sometime keeps going in and out of limp mode if I hit a bump or something.. I ran a 16.168 the 1st time I ever hit the track and a ran a 16.111 the 2nd time.. are those good numbers on a KA?

but for some reason now i'm over heating sometimes if I let it sit idle after my 2nd run but i'm not leaking any water out anywhere.. I filled it at BMP before I left went to the hess station talked to some pplz moved my car and there is no water.. anyone know why this could be?

this aint too hard chief

1. fill it up, drive it around till its pretty warm, bring it back, park it on a clean driveway (parking place). Open the hood and listen for hissing, look underneath for leaks

2. if you got a bad head gasket you'd be seeing white smoke coming outta your exhaust.

3. you have any oil in the damn car?


the rest is simple man. pull the thermostat and see if it keeps doing it. you got rust in the radiator? anything in the way of the air flow to the radiator? fan clutch?

in my old 240sx the top part of my radiator cracked by the return neck.

also check to make sure that the MAF connections aren't loose, powershifting to 3rd sometimes would knock it loose and car died

hey dori, i was in the white 240. The track sucked last night no1 was cuttin good 60' times. The guy with the SR an drag radials couldnt even get lower than a 2.3. My best all night was
R/T .543
60' 2.398
330 6.651
1/8 10.074
MPH 71.87
1000 13.037
1/4 15.505
MPH 90.47

An I have the same mods as you, KN filter an exhaust. My car should be at round a 15.1-15.2, But 60's just sucked last night for everyone.

that sucks that you poor folks don't know how to drive, track prep or not, a differential and dr's means 1.8 60' times all day long even if you don't know what you're doing
