I've got a Dell Inspiron E1705. I just need a power converter so I can run off my car all day. If anyone's got one lying around, I'd really appreciate it. (don't feel like going to Best Buy to buy something I'll only use for one day)

maybe steve from r&d dyno owuldn't mind you having it plugged in to one of their outlets. That shouldn't be a problem. Maybe bring an extension chord with a surge protector/ power strip...infact i'll bring the power strip just bring a an extension chord.

Then, realized, for some reason, the filter was not outside of the box like it was supposed to be....over the course of driving (most likely from autocross), the filter had fallen inside the box. I had to use some screw drivers and alot of force to squeeze the filter out. The filter outlet is actually wider than the opening.

Upon inspecting the box, I also notice that one of the bolts had backed out from the blue ring....I lost another when trying to reassemble things....it was very frustrating.

Here's a ROUGH idea of how the day will go:

-Arrive at R&D Dyno at 8:45 am. (donuts being provided by Ngo)

9:00 - Peter gets to dyno
9:30 - BrGreen
10:00 - Snowflake
10:20 - Wing5
10:35 - Kwescott
10:50 - Scremn8
11:10 - Newcastle
11:30 - Murix
11:45 - Rotary Rasp

BREAK for LUNCH. We're thinking of ordering pizzas. Bring some $$$

1:00 - Jedi54
1:15 - RXOcho
1:30 - NgoRX8
1:45 - XdeedubbX
2:00 - Jordanjerone
2:15 - Cesaralaniz
2:30 - Razz1
2:45 - Bao0518

The first 2 cars will take slightly longer because they'll need to familiarze themselves with the RX-8's. After that, it should be 10-15 minutes for most of the cars.
