We finally got our CNR Project out to make a few passes yesterday. The car is far from finish and expect better # the next time out. The car crank up for the first time saturday morning and threw it on the dyno saturday night. Unfortunately, just like any new project the car still have a lot of bugs that need to be work out. I was just happy to be able to make a few passes. We'll be working out the bugs and hopefully making the IFO Shreveport race in May. I want to take the time to thank a few people. Without their help and support, the car would not even have been running.

First off, my wife who is pregnant with our first child was up till midnight for the past two weeks with me
My parent and in-laws who has supported me everything step of the way
John (johntnguyen for the letting me borrow the injectors)
Micah (Beave for the downpipe)
Choong Chin (body work)
Michael Crosbar (beautiful paint)
Josh (orfus5 my right hand man who does everything from wiring to install)
Tom and Micah at lightning for the awesome prices on parts and best customer service around
Corr Performance
Tony (t1racedevelopment who has help me along the way with advice, tips and hookup on parts)
I know i'm forgetting a few people and I apologize if I forgot to mention your name.

The car made 407hp / 279 ft/lb of torque @8000 rpm on pump gas. The car was cutting out bad and an ignition system will be install soon. The car was far from being tune and she still have a lot left in it. Ran at best pass of 12.8@115mph.

A special thanks to Cliff and Ifo for putting up an awesome race. He always show Baton Rouge love by giving us two race a year. I wouldn't be building a project like this if there was no IFO series.

thank YOU steve, but the Shreveport event has been canceled. That track went out of business. Montgomery is always a big IFO though and only 5.5 hrs from Baton Rouge.

Dibble Chang · 03-30-2009, 10:41 PM

Real nice dude.

Props to you for not only being a damn good guy, but building a badass car.

I'll be coming to see you real soon. Everything is falling in place with the civic right now. All I gotta do is get the wiring fixed.

Nice to see the car go down the track a few times Stevoo! Glad that I could help with the spark plug gapper. lol

Thanks for the head up Cliff on Shreveport. I knew it went out of business, but thought someone else had brought it and that's why you reschedule the race for May 3. I'll tried my best to make the Montgomery race. I would like to do at least 4-5 ifo a year if possible.

Congrats on the baby and the car Steve. It was finally good to see you out on the track instead of in the stands shaking your head at some of us.

Can't wait to see the progress and advancements in the future.

I was there for eye candy.

Congrats on the car, Steve. It was good to see it running, I know it will be super nice car once all the bugs are straight.

It was good meeting you there steve... and thanks for answering some of my questions about my AEM FI/C. Good luck with the Hatch.

Thank you for being you

lsvtecracer · 03-31-2009, 07:51 PM

thanks to everyone for the kind words. I also like to thank Son (turbohatch for the couplers) and Tuan for the tires and other stuff. It was nice to finally meet you sigforty. Good to put a face to a sn. I'll be back testing in a few weeks and hope to crack low 11/high 10 soon. Trying to make the ifo alabama race. We'll see what happen with more boost and race gas instead of chevron 93 octane.
