Thermal and TNX = bad bad news :(
I would say Thermal drives Revos like its his job, but when it comes to TNXs, I dont understand why he cant control them well. Here is my buddys TNX after he drove it...

LOL. Sorry Tamiyakid, this is a big joke. I've never wrecked any TNX. Sandor and I were just having a little fun. . That is in fact wizens' TNX. He is also a good online friend of mine.

Well the temperature and humidity changes daily so you gotta slighty tune things daily for best performance.
The DB track with fans is actually colder than the outside temps.

RE: Thermal and TNX = bad bad news :(
ya its in shambles along with my tranny thats all layed out on my kitchen table waiting for some parts.....whoops! I think what happed was the reverse arm inside the tranny wasnt all the way forward or back and when i came off the tripple I heard something....needless to say thats prob when I busted the reverse gear.....so Im doing a foward only conversionm less moving parts should help performance too. As for a body, I need one

Dont expect your tune to be the same indoor, and outdoor. Just doesnt work that way. Usually when i get in that building, my engines run rich. However watch the temps as it gets colder. The colder it gets, the richer you'll need to be on the needles. So expect to tune a little in that building. And no, i've never driven a TNX. Dont worry, i'll drive it like i drive my WRX!

its possible alright, it happens when you dont have a fail safe and go out of range, and run into a break wall at 40+ mph, or if you on concrete and go off a ramp and land head first into the concrete, it might as well happen

what that does is make the truck fully stop before going in one direction or another. I think the servo that moves this little arm inside hte tranny was not all the in or all the out, when i came down from the tripple I think it jolted quickly and busted the reverse. Thats my guess, I remember my car acting funny of one of the jumps.....oh well. Should perform better anyhow with the conversion and shave a little weight too

isnt the opti drive thingy soppose to make sure that dont happen

The same exact thing happened to my buddies savage. Only it ran off on us into the foundation of my house. Then we immediately had the new offset version of the Savage

Nice car rozzi. I read your other post about that. 10's, and around 500 hp? How did you achieve the power gains? The only way id run my WRX against a car that heavily modded is with some mods of my own. Bigger turbo, full exhaust, injectors, tune, etc. If i ever get my numbers anywhere near your HP numbers, then i'll start thinking about a race. lol.

RE: Thermal and TNX = bad bad news :(
The 350Z is a totally amazing and fast car stock. The handling is unbelievable . I run Bridgestone Potenza tires on it. Race compound. Only get about 8 to 10 k miles on them. With all of the mods done I have had the car to 172 mph on I-95 3 lane highway in Connecticut around 2:30 in the morning and only a couple cars on it. Had about 2k rpm to go in 6th gear before redline. So I am guessing around 176 to 180 top speed. That top speed does not sacrifice a thing on torque. It comes off the line like a rocket. the hookup on this car insane. Seriously worried about pulling something out of it None of the work was done by me. I bought it brand new and sent it to Xtreme Tunes; they did everything including breaking in the engine.
As for the SLK, don't knkow never driven one. That price tag is out of my league for at least 5 more years, I hope. Very nice car.
