You can tack me and probably Blade (blmcquig) onto the list. I'll be out for sure.

Here is the plan.

We will meet at Streets of Woodfield around 7:30pm Sunday Evening. When Railgun arrives (we can miss him, that bridgeport brap can be heard for miles) we will need to find an E85 station for him, unless he has already filled up and then the plan is to take Golf rd all the way over and then tag up north through GlenCoe Winnetka. We will then catch Sheridan Rd (maybe swing by the Bahai temple for some sweet picture opps) and then take Sheridan rd all the way down to LSD. LSD to downtown and Buzz Michigan Ave and State Street cause as much commotion as possible, and then find a parking garage Railgun knows of that will allow us to capture the skyline behind all of our 7s on the rooftop. From there we can swing back toward schaumburg or something central, and catch some late night grub, gas ups etc.

Should be a fun night. Bring Walkie talkies if you have em, and your radar detectors justin case.

time to Rotary Raid Chicago tomorrow night.

Meet here

We will be meeting here at the streets of Woodfield. This will probably be the most open spot of the parking lot.

Good stuff, fun night even though I didn't have a car. Good to make it out and nice meeting you all of you who came.
Have a safe trip back to London Railgun. I did take some photos, let me try to upload em.

I won't be able to get to them til I return to London.

Thanks everyone for showing up. That was one helluva turnout. Dunno where that rain came from and aside from some poor maintanence on my part, turned out to be a good time.

I didn't get very many good pictures, but here are a few.


dfoster154's FD. Gassin' up. We had that gas station completely packed.


Looking up the line on Lake Shore Drive from my FC.


Looking up the line from the very back.


Looking down the line from the 10th AE right in front of my FC.

If anyone wants the larger versions of the pictures, you can grab 'em from these links.

So my car took a dump at the end of the night, it was idling rough when we were leaving S&S. It idles at 500rpm or so and sounds like it's running on 1 rotor, I made it home but now it won't start

Blown?

Oh noes!!! That's an AllRotor car too, huh?. Check you map sensor, otherwise compression test. Could be bad plugs or coils...

Map sensor was the first thing I check, it's connected.

Going to do a compression check this weekend, I'm prepared for the worst.

I did found a busted vaccum line at the wastegate control solenoid, busted as completely ripped and not connected at all, I don't know how big of a vaccum leak that could cause if even any. I was able to start the car on Monday but it wouldn't start yesterday, the car is definitely running rich as you can smell it from the exhaust gas.
