yeah, the pipe is bead rolled, but it material isn't too think, so the t-bolt clamp crushed it just enough to make it out of round. It works fine for autox, but it couldn't take constant 4th & 5th gear pulls. Funny thing is that if I would get off my butt and switch to SD this wouldn't have happened.

 

you guys are quiet in here this morning.

i hear it is supposed to snow this weekend. like noreaster type snow.

 

^ is that going to be your excuse for not autoxing this weekend?

 

oh i'm coming now and i am bringing a collapsable octagon. i hope you're rested up for the throw down.

where is it this weekend. i really don't know if i can make it seriously. if i do it may be to stop by. i know it is lame.

my car's been feeling slow every since it was de-tuned. you know what 700+ HP would do in autocross? i'd ruin the pavement.

 

I actually do know what 700whp will do in an autox, if you don't believe me just ask Pete, Chu, doug or jeff.

this event is at CBP. you should come down since it looks like quite a few people will be debuting their new setups. if you don't want to race you can atleast go for rides in peoples cars and make fun of their driving. No need for the octagon, we'll just use cones and caution tape.

 

Sundays weather is looking decent so far... sun and clouds high in the low 60's. Thats def alrigth with me.

I'm busy here at work today, so far atleast. Stressing about my car really isn't helping me either. I have no friggen idea what the hell is making this damn noise, its seems to drive/handle/brake fine.

 

went for a drive yesterday with a friend and found some pretty nice spots off of Kelly drive I never really knew existed.
No photographer here, just enjoying the nice evening and thought I'd share.













I know you can't see the car but still, sick view from up there





Enjoy the rain fellas

Petey, how was the burrito?
I'm telling ya u need to go to dos segundos, however the margaritas at el camino are pretty tasty. Glad to see you had a day off to relax

Marc, frustrating day for sure. Glad to see you salvaged some of it at least. The season is along way from being over!

 

ahh, didn't put his whip in there, I'm in love with this thing.
its showing its age and a hell of a lot of character from it, this thing has been used and loved over the years, simply awesome car.





All he really gave me from the masses of pictures we took

 

as long as it drive fine thats the important part. we can take a closer look at it on Sunday between heats.

 

You should get the ETS LICP . It's steel and won't crush like the aluminum pipes.

BTW, thanks for trying to help on Saturday . It's too bad your compressor went down. Knowing me, I'll be testing the car every couple months so I went out and bought a little 5 gal air tank Saturday night and filled it up. I'm going to attempt to make a boost leak tester this weekend and test out the car.

 

nice pics Doug.

 

I'm going to start researching LICP's this week. I want something with a bracket that will bolt to the stock LICP location, so all the stress isn't placed on the coupler, and it MUST be thick walled SS. Anyone have any suggestions... I'm all ears.

Sorry we couldn't get it to work on Saturday, but you can still borrow my tester if need be. I should be fixing the compressor this week sometime, its on my to-do list

 

+1 dougie, the pics are prettty sweet.. BTW I was partial to the carnitas over the steak

 

WOO-HOO I'm finally tuned!!! Thanks PETEY!!! I still have a little bit of misfire, but I'll get new set of plugs and hope it will go away

 

million ways to go marc, i've had zero issues with mine from ams, its purty sturdy
