Almost two weeks away!

I got my car running again with a bunch of new vacuum lines and a banjo bolt. I am DD-ing it again. Woot woot. I missed Vanessa soo much.

Bump for me getting my car ready!

Eh. Mine probably looks worse and I don't have hail as an excuse.

They should start to move a about 3800rpm. Try reving the car and watching them. I can't recall it they'll open without a load on the motor though, so just reving in neutral may not work. I'd take them apart and clean them. or if you can break them free just wire them open (you will not miss them at all, I promis)

Very much the wrong thread for this though.

Search the second gen section for write ups.

There doesn't need to be load on the engine, it just needs to be at WOT, and passed 3800 or so, they open with backpressure, and that means they couldl be opening at different times on different cars, so don't assume yours open right at 3800.

just found an owner of an 85 gsl-se in newton and i quickly convinced him to come as well. i know there are a couple of us goin from newton, i was just wonderin how many are going from around here like wichita or anywhere close to newton. It would make sense to have a good size group driving together to lawrence that are from this area. just an idea.

Hey Newton and Wichita guys/gals(?) and surrounding area. How about meeting at AppleBee's at the corner of I-135 and Broadway in Newton. We could hit highway 50 to Emporia and get on the turnpike to Lawrence. Say around 9:00?
