The Copper Supra prep continues and the parts keep coming in.
The head is back on the car.
New Adel Wiggins clamps are in.
This thing is awesome! This is the best battery you can buy for a race car, courtesy of XS-Power Batteries. Not only are we going to get the benefits from the more stable current, but helps us shed 30lbs of weight.
We recently recieved our custom powder coated 790R HREs back and they do look mean. The fronts are 19×10 and the rears are a massive 20×13. These have been ordered for the green Supra that was shipped in from the UK, which you may remember from previous posts.
Here are a few pictures after the tires were put on.
We just finish the build out of our good customer Marc P’s latest Supra. The Supra features a Turbonetics 67mm Turbo, Titan 264 Cams, Haltech Platinum 2000 ECU, and Titan Twin Pump Fuel System with 850cc Injectors, just to mention a few.
Along with the performance parts, Titan’s interior/audio division also had a chance to work on the Supra. We added OEM BMW Imola Leather to the seats and door inserts…
…along with stereo components from Kicker.
The car came out really nice and the Haltech “plug and play” ECU worked like a charm. Here is a video of it starting up. Enjoy
We have done a bit more work to the Supra over the past few days. We drained all the fluids from the car and scraped an unbelievable amount of rubber from the wheel wells.
Brett also took some more time to work on the wiring.
Your Agent (ADRL) reminds everyone to tune in to the Versus network this coming Sunday, Nov. 8, at 3 p.m., for the broadcast of the recently completed, championship-deciding National Guard ADRL Speedtech Battle for the Belts from the Texas Motorplex at Ennis, TX. The 2009 Speedtech Battle for the Belts was punctuated, of course, by Pro Extreme contender Jason Hamstra’s miraculous escape from injury in a devastating high-speed accident, but in the end it was all about the National Guard ADRL’s newly crowned world champions. If you miss any of the National Guard ADRL airings on Versus, you also can visit the new ADRL Videos On Demand player. It will provide online versions of all National Guard ADRL TV shows in their entirety, plus exclusive interviews and bonus features, such as a video from each class that depicts every elimination run so far this season.
Our good customer and long time friend of Titan, Joshua Barnes, who some of you may remember from the April issue of DSPORT earlier in the year, recently had a chance to take his purpose built Supra on the banks of Daytona International Speedway. Here is a video of his warm up lap, and a montage of some of the cars he passed that day. Enjoy…
After years of testing and production exclusively in our TMS Race/Street Cylinder Heads, Titan Motorsports is proud to announce that our TMS Valve Seats for the Toyota 2JZ-GTE are now available to purchase as their own part number; TMS-SUP-ENG-706.
These TMS Valve Seats can be used with oversized valves between +1 and +2.5mm, and are made out of Ampco 45. Ampco 45 has superior heat dissipation qualities when compared to an OEM seat, which in turn keeps the valves cooler, preventing seat erosion and valve face distortion or damage. It also has better lubrication properties, which leads to a longer service life for the valve head.
Last weekend Titan Motorsports competed in Ennis Texas for the ADRL Battle of the Belts. We were in the #2 spot in points, and we matched up against the winner of the #7 and #8 points holder. Spiro Pappas (#8) won his first battle and was now our opponent Friday night in our first run. Spiro is one of only two cars in the “3 second club” in XTF, and we knew his team would be a handful. Both cars made great runs, but Pappas’4.01 @ 190 mph edged out our 4.02 @ 182 mph. It put an early end to our night which was disappointing for the whole team after working so hard to stay in the #2 points position all season. Spiro went on to win the Battle of the Belts form the #8 spot. Congrats.
The ADRL Battle for the Belts is counted toward the first race of the season, which directly follows. Our 4.02 run from Friday night now counted toward our qualifying for the first race of the season Saturday, so that left us in the #3 qualifying position going into the first round. Here we raced Tony Wilson and ran a solid 4.05 which was enough for the win and lane choice in the next round. In round 2 we faced Dan Millen. We knew we had to put together a strong run, and banged out a 4.01 @ 183.7 mph. It was good enough to advance to the next round, but we did not get the lane choice going in to the semi finals. We would be matched up against Spiro Pappas again in the semi finals and they were making great runs on Saturday as well. Spiro had some mechanical problems in the second round and no one knew if he would make it to the staging lanes. We waited as the Pappas team worked to fix their issues. At the last minute they pulled their car to the lanes and lined up for the race. Whatever they did, they did it right, because Pappas made a career best run of 3.92 @ 193 mph which was unmatched by us or anyone in XTF over the weekend. Chuck Ulsch did manage to beat Spiro Pappas on a hole-shot it the finals though. The elusive 3 second pass that we had hoped for slipped away from us again so we will have to wait to get that early in the 2010 season. The next ADRL race will take place March 12-13th 2010, at Houston Raceway Park, in Baytown Texas. Look for the Titan Team to be out in full force. We’ll see you at the races!
