Congratulations to Andy and Valerie Lieber for winning their classes at the 2008 Tire Rack SCCA Solo2 National Championship! Andy took the win in “Street Modified” class, overcoming Jarrod Hoop’s first-day lead and taking the win by a close 0.008 seconds! Valerie led “X Prepared Ladies” class after the first day, and drove flawless on the second day to clench the win.
Going in to NASA Nationals, with rain expected Friday and Saturday, the TT Group may only have Thursday to set fast times. This was our 3rd event for our TTS Civic this year, making changes for each event. For nationals we added a built K24 and Hoosiers hoping we could get the times down from the 1,40′s that we we running at Mid Ohio in August. We had 1 Goal for Nationals, to beat our previous fast time from our EVO IX that we campaigned Last Year at 1,35.5. After I arrived I saw a new Skyline who had TTS decals, and then a pipe dream entered my head, what if a Civic could out run a R35 Skyline, then I saw the massive hoosiers and the dream was instantly squashed.

First things first… The point of reference will be the Magnus Street Intake Manifold (MSIM) which was on the car originally when we finished the new turbo setup. The MSIM had been on the car for 3-4yrs already so we used it for the build
However, we were looking for more on the existing setup and needed a new intake manifold to take better advantage of the turbo and headwork.
