I'll do 5-10mph over, i got a ticket in MI, back in Dec for doing 85 in 70, the cop lowered it to 75 in a 70.. that cost me 140Amer. :S

I couldn't tell you how fast i'm going go to through the gap until i get to it and see for my self, but fast enough to have fun, not fast enough to go air born off a cliff.

 

I'm just trying to get you guys excited about the rally! Everyone seems to be kinda lethargic about the whole thing. Let's get pumped!

 

I'm slow either way

 

With 400 ponies you'd better not be!

 

Trust me i'm excited, it's like all i think about everyday. lol and getting the car ready in time for the Rally. I can't wait to go on this rally, going to be so much fun.

 

I can't wait. All I need is some warm weather to clean the car. I put it away dirty and uncovered all winter! Rims are covered in brake dust and takes me a few hours just to clean the rims properly.

(I'm putting a set of ear plugs in my car!)

 

Im terrified, and excited. My car still needs ALOT of work.

My fingers are crossed...

 

you had BETTER have that **** going mike

and if you need a hand, you'd BETTER ******* call me so I can come help out!

 

Shirts look good..

 

nice!!!

Good idea Ian, I may do this also.

I'm so freaking excited about this....I've been jonesin' a long road trip for years but kept having bad timing issues with friends dieing, engines popping, no money, too much work.............finally get to do it! Going stir crazy here lol!!!

Yeah man, if you need help let us know!

 

Today was productive:
Got my head studs retorqued (there was no point to that, they were all fine)
And my valve clearances checked (they were all fine too)
Switched over to synthetic
Got the front lip back on.
got the momo's test-fit.. Have some issues there. Won't be going on the steamroller tires.. looks like it'll be the stockers for this trip. Must find new wheels.

They seemed to fit fine but the car tracks horribly with them on - I'm guessing they aren't quite the right offset. Will keep my eyes out for some BBS LM's but until that happens it'll be rolling on the stockers I guess.

Also, the engine is MUCH quieter at WOT with the synthetic oil, like wow. omfg.

 

Well, after a very, very, very late night this evening (5:30AM!) the car should be ready to run tonight, all that's left is the turbo(which im waiting to receive, on order from Tial). Assuming it runs, all I have left is to align the fenders and headlights, mount the bumper, finish weld the cage, reassemble my transmission and run some brake lies!

 

I realized I have a hand radio but only one, just needed batteries since I don't have the charger. So I got mine

thewird

 

Awesome. There is like only two weeks left of work time we can do!!

 

Wow U Guys Have Quite A Caravan Coming To The Gap...indyfc3c Here In Indy Looking Forward To Meeting Somewhere Near Cin Good Driving On Ur Part Later Larry

 

Hey Larry, we met last year. I was leading the caravan in the Red M3. This year I'll have a running RX-7 though. FINALLY! Hope we can all make it together. It will be so much fun to pull into the village with a parade of cars.

 

going to install a mechanical oil pressure gauge in the GTR tomorrow.
wish me luck, lets all hope my stock gauge just sucks ***. Because if not, the motor is coming out. It's not making any funny noises, or running strangely - but the oil pressure has been gradually going downhill, now it's at the point where the old motor was before it blew up.

 

Dam that is no good. If the oil pressure is steadly going down as before and thats after a rebuild wouldn't you think it something like an oil pump or clog in your oil cooler/thermostate or something?

I tried working on the car today but I chicken out. Felt to cold. And I must have spent 8 hours on this A/C logic not working with the E8.

 

it has a really simple water to air cooler. I cleaned it out really well before I put the engine together
oil pump is brand new N1 unit (upgrade from stock a little).

hopefully it's just the sending unit, I have to pull the motor out to figure out what's wrong with it if there is a problem.

 

N1 is good ****. I hope everythings OK. Rebuilding one motor that is supposed to be strong as hell is bad enough, it would suck if you had to rebuild 2.
