June 24th, 2009

 
AMS+Evo+X+Redline+Time+Attack+preview

 On June 21st, 2009, Ryan Gates dominates the Modified Class at Round Three of the Redline Time Attack! series. Ryan took victory in the Modified AWD Class as well as capturing the Overall Modified Class Championship with a time of 1:30.7, more than 2.3 seconds faster than the nearest competitor!!!

Ryan sat out the second Time Attack session, confident his lap time was more than fast enough to take the win, and it was. The fastest lap was posted by Sharif A. in his modified R35 GTR, a 1.33.091. A fast time, but still 2.3 seconds behind Ryan’s very impressive time of 1:30.7. With that, Ryan took the victory in Modified AWD Class, and secured the Overall Modified Class Championship at Autobahn. Ryan will be competing again with Redline at Nashville on July 26th, look for a similarly impressive performance.

Comment from Ryan: “Carbonetic’s Triple Carbon Clutch has been a huge help this season. We’re making 500+whp and this clutch takes all the abuse I throw at it on track…amazing!”

Redline Time Attack – Willow Spring

June 9th, 2009

Redline Time Attack Willow Spring was a tough race for our supported teams…….
 Focus Auto Sales Focus Auto Sales Focus Auto Sales

Carbon Front LSD: ACNFB8210
(extract)….Unfortunately, after only one hot lap, our R34 Skyline GTR lost compression in cylinder #4. Our builder/tuner Aki thinks its a tired piston that cracked after 2 years of hitting the pavement hard with 588awhp. We’re surprised the stock bottom end held up so long. A true testament to Aki’s tuning skills. Even still, in traffic, with a limping motor, on street Yokohama Neova AD07 skinny 265/35/18 tires, Billy Johnson was able to pull off a 1:34 at the Big Track at Willow Springs. Hot stuff from a young, smart and gutsy driver.
Now we’re off to build a bigger, badder and faster Skyline. Watch out for us in the 3rd West Coast RTA in Nevada at the end of September.

Comment from Driver: “LSD is quiet and it feels great, the steering wheel feels more direct and accurate compared to OEM.”

Carbon Triple Clutch: ACM23380
(extract)….After completing a warm up lap,Ryan resumed full speed. That same lap, while running hard thru Turn 9 the car lost all power causing the steering to lock up along with the engine shutting off. Luckily, Ryan was pointed straight and was able to coast off track.
Back at the track early Sunday morning, Ryan was on the phone with AMS President, Martin Musial, desperately trying to figure out the problem. Unfortunately, the cause of the mysterious electrical problem couldn’t be found in time to compete in Sunday’s Time Attack sessions. Trying to salvage something out of the weekend, Ryan was able to get the car moved into the front of the spectator area so the car was still in front of the public eye all day.
Look for plenty of very strong finishes in the near future from Ryan.

Ryan’s Comment:

http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-x-engine-turbo-drivetrain/426236-gates311-review-carbonetic-triple-carbon-clutch-ams-clutch-master-cylinder-ring.html

(etract)…Moving on…I now run a Carbonetic Triple Carbon clutch, which is rated at 800 lb/ft Torque and 850 HP at crank. Eric Jones @ AMS did the install and everything worked out great. Along with the clutch, he also installed one of AMS’ Clutch Master Cylinder Reinforcement rings. The clutch was converted to a Push-style. I was a little hesitant going to with a Triple-plate clutch because of driveability and reliability of the Clutch Master Cylinder. Being that the Carbonetic is carbon, the clutch is super easy to drive. Taking off from a stop, the clutch feels perfect….it’s not difficult, grabby, noisy etc. It was a pleasant surprise. And with the AMS Clutch Master Cylinder Reinforcement ring installed, I’m not worried about the Master Cylinder anymore. Sweet

City Tire / Kallusive Clothing, Formula D Road Atlanta: OMT in Top 32 and closing the gap!

 

CARBONETIC REAR LSD: ACNRA109130

Driver: Carl Rydquist

Team: The City Tire / Kallusive Clothing 

 

Rydquist was staged against 3rd placed qualifier McNamara, who had clocked the fastest entry speed during qualifying. As it turned out though, Rydquist’s Technosquare powered 350Z Twin Turbo had a lot of hidden speed and in his lead run, Rydquist took a clear victory with a huge gap around the whole course. The judges called for one more time and they went again.

 

- “In our One More Time-run my tandem was closer at entry and I was pushing it a lot harder,” Rydquist says. “With the Hankook RS3 tires and the CARBONETIC Carbon Differential, I had zero trouble to stay on the pace without sacrificing angle. I was staying close down the hill back towards the grid but unfortunately the transition into the final turn didn’t work out for me and I spun, the car just really snapped. I saw it happen to a couple of other cars in the same spot, it was just a little bit of a late transition. I felt I was getting a grip on this match so it was very disappointing, but on the other hand, now we really know what a great package we have.”

 

McNamara went on to win 2nd position overall after a One More Time against winner Chris Forsberg, which was a clear indicator of the performance level of the City Tire / Kallusive Clothing 350Z and Rydquist’s driving. Count on seeing Rydquist and the City Tire / Kallusive Clothing climbing the Formula D ranks very soon.
