I'm not at all impressed. He threw a ton of money at a bunch of parts and a paint job. There was nothing amazing about it.

 

thats how all show cars are- there is no talent- it's just a "who has more money to waste on a car" competition.

 

unfortuneatly in this guys case its probably all on a credit card that he will never pay off... i wonder if he even knows what an autox is or a trackday

 

He's claiming a lot of sponsorships for it along with friends help (which does cost $$) and his own coin.
Sad to see it win a few shows already while being pushed to and from its parking spot. Way to many bandwagon fans. The work that went into it is very nice and he says he plans to drive it but i don't think a car should win anything when it cant even start. Especially when your going for that slammed look, any car can be dropped on the ground and look spotless when its never driven, and an engine thats never been ran let a lone started should look like that.

 

Not taking ANYTHING away from the car itself. I think its probably the nicest damn bugeye I have ever laid eyes on. And who am I to judge what makes a person happy at the end of the day. But some people need a lesson in economics! I sure hope the dude atleast owns some equity.

 

I..am..lazy. Wait, so, is this guy on a wheelchair forever now? Incredible he survived. What caused the accident?! Reading pwns me.

I think finally got this POS to start with E85 in the cold. I was just a few points away from it apparently. I tried your maps Ray and it just wouldn't start so I put mine back in but added another 10% and it started. I tried again last night and this morning and it cranks and sputters once then fires up the 2nd time with coolant temps around 50 degrees. Before it would crank at least 10 times in that range. It seems like I have to add way too much when I compare my tables to other cars but if it works I don't care.

 

^that's exactly what mine does at worst and most of the time in the cold.

it cranks and sputters then starts right up on the second attempt.

 

Do both you two keep your car in the garage?

 

Normally I do but the last few months with all the clutch jobs and tbelt replacements Ive been doing its been outside.

 

what size injectors do you have in that thing,

today is a little warmer here in the 30's

but its been in the high teens the last few days and my car starts on the first try and it sleeps outside. no stutter or bs, doubt it makes a difference but i also had to adjust my throttle body on tephra v7 using the evo scan idle test so that the car would actually idle back when i was running pump because it used to stall. but doubt that has anything to do with it. lol

 

very good
