i have been up for less than an hour. the seven stalled a half a dozen times on the way to work (and yes i do know how to use a clutch. the car just died while decelerating when it was cold), and i got pulled over by a bike cop. apperently my break lights do not work when my lights are on...
great.....

so how was your morning?

 

About the same. While I was on the way to the store, the 7 got sideways a few times and it scared the crap out of me! I had to start out in 2nd gear, just to get traction and then drive in 4th or 5th only at 35 mph or so. What a pain....I wish I could get a winter car.

 

My reverse lights stopped working apparently...Time to climb under there and see if I cant get to that damn wire...

My car is still outside. Dammit.

 

I got up to 35 deg. temp now its almost 70 and sunny

I miss the change of seasons down here(originally from Illinois) but I have to say there are advantages to living down here......now rust!!!!! Although its not my daily driver(race only) its almost 20yrs old now and not a bit of rust!!!!

Hope your weekends go better!

 

I'm driving a Daytona with Blizzaks, and it seems to be a great winter performer. Picked it up for cheap so I could care less if I DO hit something, but the Blizzaks are so grippy that seems impossible.

We had an ice storm here last night & RWD cars & trucks were pirouetting like hippos on skates, whereas for me it was drive like usual. I went through the Rockies (there and back) over the holidays through snowstorms. I reduced speed for visibility occasionally, but traction was never a problem.

Still, I miss Pamela and can't wait 'till spring...

 

Welcome back Manntis!!!

 

Oh, and I just noticed some blue smoke this morning on a start up...Oh boy

my day was pretty good... i was driving to my buddies house when a new mustang pulled up next to me ... to make a long story short, well i smoked him!!! ha- ha!

sounds like you guys need brakelamp relays , a common failure but easy to change. its located under the steering colum towards the fuse block, i believe it even says brake lamp relay on it...


rifraff where do you live in ca.???

 

bakersfield

one of the problems that i know i have is that two of the relays under the dash are not hooked up.. reason being that when i replaced my wiring harness, i could not find the connections for them.
one is the 3 point relay, and so my blinkers are fash (hate that), and i donot remember what the other one is off hand.

 

have you been to the streetraces in your area??? the burger joint?

 

used to go.. not for a long while though

 

I get blue smoke at every cold start up...but after it warms up it's gone.

 

ive been there, took some of the locals money it was fun!!! i love famoso raceway ...its my favorite!!!

 

there are definatly people around here that will through money on a race that they have no clue about (or are just clueless in general)..

why do you like famoso so much? it has horrible traction.

 

low altitude .... the next closest track is palmdale, that place sucks!!!!

 

today was a good day to me. no trouble at all. i got up at 4am, when to work, came out at 3pm and i when shopping for parts so i can finnish my car.

 

It's raining this morning so I can't work on my stuff.

 

Why not? Rain isn't toxic unless you live in Detroit's industrial area

 

Or near an international airport (like me).

I got some drawer liners just now. I get to tranfer my tools strewn all over the garage to a new role-away and tool chest I got for Xmas. With all this rain, I've got to keep the tool boxes from rusting somehow.
