I haven't had the car running that long but I got pulled over again today and it was 100% my fault. No if ands or butts about it. But, I still managed to get off with a warning.

I control the boost with a bolt an nut on the wastegate. needless to say changing the boost in my car is a PITA. I have to jack the car up so I can get to the bolt and nut. Anyways, Just turned up the boost and it was starting to downpour (thank god). Drove about two blocks and was making a left hand turn to a side street. What do you do in a turn with goobs of power and wet pavement?? You guessed it you let the *** end fly out. It was a very controlled slide but it scared the living hell out of a jogger. I was in second the *** started to slide so I gave it more gas just to push it out course did just stop there. The wheel were spinning like bats outa hell the boost was rising and the wastegate opened. Doesnt sound like much till you hear that the wastegate doesnt dump back into the exhaust. That is just obnoxiously loud. The jogger had all the rights in hell to be scared shitless. then I shift gears and the BOV pops off just to let him know thats the nightmare is almost over. I speed up to the limit of 25 mph and drove along.

The police officer must not have had a good view and his windows were up cause he just explained that the area had a very slow speed limit and that the jogger was give quiet a fright. It was a nice little down pour while he's telling me this. I just explained that I wasnt speeding and the car has an lsd which is unfortunately quite difficult to control in the rain. Also, apologized for nearly scaring the jogger to death. The guy damn near jumped for cover. It was hilarious at the time.

DOES THIS MAKE ME FAT? I need cheeze!!!!! I like it in and straight from a can

 

Sweet! maybe one of this days I can do that but hope not to scare the living hell out of someone runing. All I can say I can just imagen what happen to you and I must say. Good thing you got off with a warning and not a ticket. You played it good and safe.

 

glat to hear your car is running good, thanks for all the props.....glad you only got a warning!! be carefull with boost

 

Profec B is your friend (for controlling boost.)

 

Thanks for all the help


Hell, any boost controller thats not under the car would be my friend. I did have the Blitz DSBC on my Z and really liked it. Too bad, I don't have the funds for now. Guess Ill just have to jack the car up when needed

 

Was the guy jogging in the rain? who does that? lol

 

Hey, some people bike in the rain... and mud...


Mmmmmmm, BOV's... the very reason I want a turbo setup.

 

 

who gives a F*CK about the BOV...i just want BOOST!!!

 

ummm... why else would you want a BOV? BOOST!!! BOV's are just a byproduct of this. OK, the surge of power and sound of a spinning turbo gets me going too..... ziiiiiiiiiiing!

You calling WRC cars rice?

 

yes, the sound of a spooling turbo is quiet beautiful on an early sunday morning.

carl.

 

run the car on track already!!

 

I love the Sideways into the Street feeling.

Theres just Nothing like driving with your left arm on your chest.

 

Well at least you gave the Jogger something to talk about at dinner tonight...

 

When I get done fixing all the little stuff. Changed the rear brake pads yesterday, found out why the emergency brake dont work. left rear cable is rusted solid it doesnt slide in the sleeve. So off to advance auto I go, 2-3 days for shipping. When I park the car, I have to make sure I leave it in gear or she rolls away. Next is to work on the fuel issue do that this weekend. Its coming along took me about a year and a half to get this far.

 

love to vent on others face.... but its not nice...
anyways, I cracked up reading.
