There's an auto-x coming up supposedly. Should be a thread about it in this section.

I was thinking drag racing. T88 is not a good auto-x turbo.

World Street Challenge is coming up, gonna be a nasty event.

We have the normal Tuesday Streetcar Shootouts. You can come and try to beat my record

doesn't it bother you that your record was not a "real" run?

I always wonder what you could've run if you never lifted EVERY damn run...

When I grabbed my 10.00 timeslip and saw what I ran, I gave myself a titty twister knowing I'd never that again. Yeah, slamming on the brakes is cool

Directions to the shop:

DO NOT SEARCH FOR OUR ADDRESS IN MAPQUEST OR GOOGLE YOU WILL GET WRONG DIRECTIONS!

If you do search for business "Tuxedo Park Racing" in Google you will get the correct location.

Or use the following directions:

From West of the Mississippi - take I-70 or I-44 East (not I-64 it is closed through St. Louis). Take your very first right after you cross the Mississippi river, this is Illinois Rt. 3 south.

From East - take I-70/I-55/I-64 west to the IL Route 3 South exit. It is the very last exit in IL.

Once on Rt. 3 South:

Turn right in front of the gas station, then right in front of the Penthouse club. Drive north along the east side of the building to door #4.

If the garage door is closed open it and come on in, please close behind you. Please do NOT drive your cars into the shop until you have checked that we have space for you inside.

Steven

One more very important thing:

If you have nonstandard lug nuts, or wheel locks DO NOT FORGET YOUR KEY!

The wheels must come off so that we can bolt our Dynapack Dyno to your wheel hubs.

I will be at the shop by 8:30 Saturday morning. If we drop to four cars we need to get them all done on Saturday. We will decide on Sunday morning opening time when we finish on Saturday. Usually it is around 9:00. But Steve K. always oversleeps so you will want to be flexible and adjust accordingly.

Thanks!
Steven

Well this sucks. I just spent all night last night putting my car back together. Got it running and the damn BAC is sticking open. Cant get one from anywhere on time. Does anyone down around ST. Louis know anyone or anywhere that has one? I really want to come down and get my car tuned so if anyone knows of any then i will head down.

Call the shop, they might have one laying around. Ask for Steve, 618-874-8003

I'm sure someone has one.

I dont even run one and it works fine! You just adjust the throttle body screws.

Then you tune the pfc for a target idle. I will hook mine up for a/c but thats later good luck.

Also you can take it apart and clean it with brake clean they get sludged up!!

To Viking-They dont have one, but thanks. Busted- What do you do with the antifreeze lines then? Ive tried plugging it and it makes it idle but idles erratically like 1.5-2.5rpm. When its hooked up it likes to rev up on its own. I dont know im about to call it quits on this time. I will take it off and see if i cant get it to work though. Thanks Skyler

If anyone else knows of one let me know. Ive called every dealer around and it looks like there is only one in the country lol, and nobody can get it by tommorow.

1. Bob Willis (Deposit Recieved) A Probable No Show
2. Manvero (Deposit Received)
3. Gohan3rdrift (Deposit Received)

4. siguy2k (Backed Out)
5. SupSai7 (Deposit Received)
6. w94rx7tt (Backed Out)
7. PDViper77 (Backed Out)
8. Juiceh (Backed Out)


Alright, so above have backed out. Bob Willis is a big "IF" as well and I anticipate that he'll be a no show as well. So, Steve is flying into St.Louis for 4 days to tune 3 cars ? Guys, I wouldn't be suprised if Steve re-schedules this.
