J.Cab,

Sounds like you got your tuned dialed in a bit! Looking forward to seeing what you put down

 

I do not have much mods but I plan to dyno. Last time I had poor number and since then my plugs and coils have been swapped. Also with this many rotaries there should not be issues with them hooking my car up correctly. The last dyno they had issues getting solid reading from my car.

Note: My previous dyno was at another location.

 

Yeah the tune isnt to bad, but its not the best right now. But I am hoping for better than the last dyno. I have gutted the CAT since then, and have upgraded the turbo and added methanol. So only time will tell how much power I put down.

 

If your cat was clogged then you should see a nice jump on the dyno.

 

I don't even know how to launch! lol I'm such a noob

 

Yeah it will be my first time at the track. But I am hoping to be in the 13's.

 

Ill be there to help you guys out. If you want ill put a "R" on my window and give you a ride. This way I can show you how to go about getting from staging lanes to the line. Everyone always has their first time at the track and always does something newbie. Its always embarrasing as hell. Ill try to avoid that.

 

See here's the thing.... I've only been driving manual since friday. I'll have one week under my belt when y'all see me! I'm actually doing really well. Partially because when most people learn stick they are learning how to operate the car as well as how not to crash. I already know how to drive so I can focus purely on getting a feel for it now instead of freaking out about other cars getting close like we did as teens!

 

that sounds awesome! any help is appreciated. Not sure if I'm going to the track yet but if I do I'll take you up on that.

 

You can always come and watch.

 

This is true. I'll figure it out by saturday. So where are we meeting for breakfast?

 

Ihop in vancouver I think is where its going to be. Hopefully we get down there pretty quick so we can relax and eat and hit the dyno hard.

 

Nice to see someone else being as crazy as I was My 8 was my first daily driver stick and I only crashed it once! Actually, the crash was 9 months later and had nothing to do with stick.

One piece of advice I can give you on that front though is definitely have someone who's been driving stick forever drive around with you a few times to make sure you're not getting into any destructive habits because once things are reflexive they're really hard to get rid of.

6AM at krispy kreme... that's getting up as early as Packwood... lame!

 

FWIW I will be just watching at PIR. That is if I go. I'm oncall and never know what will come up.

 

I wish I could sleep in till 6am every day.

 

I slept in til 7:30 today. Your days are just shifted, I bet I've actually been working more hours lately

 

WOW!!! This is going to suck....I have to leave my house at like 4am. I am coming from Whidbey Island! It takes around 2.5 hours to get to Tacoma. The wife isnt gonna like this

 

Buy here something nice before hand Or arrange for something nice while you are away!

 

Here's a map to the IHOP.

 

Maybe I will find a spa in Portland, and she can knock herself out!

 

I'm sure that would work

 

Or..... You could save the money and just knock her out?



kidding kidding!!!

 

Where you going to be landing at? Mukilteo? If so I will meet you up the street from the ferry and we will move as a pack to Tacoma.

 

Actually I will be taking I-5 around. I dont ever take the ferry, its expensive.

 

IHOP works for me. What time is everyone planning on roll'n in to town?


I'm on my second reman engine now. My first reman would die very often and then not restart for several minutes. I also started having a lot of cluch problems immediately after getting the first reman. I took in several times for both problems, but every time they couldn't find any problems. It finally had a catastrophic failure a little after 2000 miles. After the engine was removed from the car, it was found that the fly wheel could slide in and out about 1/2 inch if you pushed and pulled on the pulleys.
