WTF? You got me all hyped, and now you're not even coming! I'm gonna be the only one in the group there! Well, you should come and be my private instructor for the day then!

I told you I will help you out, just not sure if I'm running my car or not. I don't feel like killing my tires setting things up when "I" still have more tuning to do on myself.

I think I know what your deal is and I already have the idea in my head how were going to go about fixing it. I just read the site and I think I'll sign up as your co-driver if you don't mind. I'll only need to drive your car but a couple times at half speed to show you what I'm talking about.

No I dont mind. But they better not split my number of runs in half! What I would like to do then, is have you do a fast run, and I'll work on catching your time.

BTW, I'm also off on Friday!

they won't do that, its not structured like a normal event. you do a run, make an adjustment and do another run. none of this waiting around for your heat to be called.

come out to NJMP on Friday and hang out if you're not busy. I can show you around the track in my slow car.

No sure I can do that! I plan on doing alittle maintenance work on the car. I have the worng plugs in the car now, and she needs 1 step colder. I may also do a fluid change...its been about 1 year!

About the Ohlins dampening adjustment....rear is clockwise to increase? fronts the same? I'm not sure since the knob is at the bottom, so I'm guessing laying on the ground looking up and turn clockwise?

you're the only person I've ever heard of that takes a half day cause they're sunburnt. maybe if you put on lotion instead of walking around flexin on everybody you would be so hurt.

pretty sure the adjustments are reversed from front to rear. I just found this out at the first event. meaning the dampening is at the bottom of the rear and top of the front, or vise versa (I forget which already). Here I've been making these adjustments to the rebound thinking i was tweaking the compression. thats what I'm talking about with regard to tuning the driver. I'm still sooooo inconsistant with my driving that I could do nothing to my car and continute to run different times all day. Once I get to the point where I'm running times within +/- .0x I will start to look at the suspension for more gains.

Plugs and fluids shouldn't take more then 2 hours tops. just bring your stuff with and we'll do it at the track. thats what everyone else does. We'll have a tent setup and all the tools you need.

thanks chu for F'ing up my rant.

those a-holes posting are total dicks. one is my stepfather so when we get together he tells me what a delusional ******* i am. he was the one that after my tune told me that my ricer friends can make a dyno spit out whatever numbers they want.

i done told you not to mess with white people. now you got to mess with white people's family.
