Does anyone want to try and pull off a quick cruise maybe saturday? Weather is rapidly changing to storage mode and I figure what the hell. We could do an early afternoon cruise. Im thinking 3 stops heading into the city, 1 stop in the city, and then maybe dinner afterwards?

 

I was going to try and organize something after I get mine running but that won't be for a little while but there are enough of us around that know each other that it shouldn't be that hard I would think...but then again it is the Chicago FD crowd ;-)

Anways, I might be able to get my buddy in his STi to chauffeur me along if this goes down

 

Your engine is in. What's the holdup?

 

My 7 is still in pieces, but its getting closer to being assembled. If have to drive the 8, but I doubt the mrs will give me a pass two weekends in a row. I just did a dyno day with the miata crowd last Sunday. 178hp to the wheels with the 8. I out pulled a 40 year fiat. All the boosted miatas were higher.

I need to finish the 7 and then boost the 8.

 

need to finish that downpipe and relocate battery. Charlie said he'd help me out with the welding but I need to order materials. We were going to maybe see about doing it at Brandon's...and it should be quick since there are no bends involved.

and THENNNN, i need to pray to the rotary gods that I didn't screw something up during the build...there are literally a hundred things that could give me **** (full rebuild, completely re-wired my harness, all new fuel setup/lines/fittings, custom oil cooler lines/fittings, battery/fuel pump rewiring, UNKNOWN turbo condition ;-)

 

I would be down for a ChiTown cruise if it was on a Sunday. Work in the car business so Saturdays are shot. I should have my car back from the shop next week.

 

good luck with that. lol
