Anybody got pics or video of the tuning? I want to see Tony's FD again. By the way, what turbo was that? I know what Charlie is running, and supsai7 is running, but not Tony?

Tony's got a T78

Tony, how's the car drive ? I didn't get to the shop until 3pm, so I missed you guys. Ask Thao if she's ready for another round of Mad-Dog 20/20

Dude, I thought it was a chick too............... and it kept moving/twitching too fast to get a good eye on it. At one point, it looked like a black bill clinton with a buckwheat afro. But, not sure man. I was frightened.

the car drives real good when boosting...
Thao actually drove the last stretch home and when we were close to home,
I woke up and the first words that came out of her mouth were,
"Hunnie,...can I boost it?"

dude, we were scootin...
it threw four foot flames...not fireballs but flames

but light throttle and idle is kinda rough...
I can live with it though, I'm just happy Steve could even make those 1680cc idle.

St.Louey is always fun.

oh christ....yeah, the side of the jeep had the entire back window covered in dry puke....you guys should have snapped a shot of that.

and now im glad that nate had to take me home....black bill clinton afromanwoman? no thanks.

i ended up puttin down 396 @ 15lbs. that's close enough to 400 for me. on a cold night i'll consider it 400 anyways.

i've got video and a few pictures of me, Gohan, and busted7. i was busy drinking or (uselessly) pulling my DP off so steve could weld a bung that i later found out was not necessary, which is why there's only 3 cars on vid.
I'll try and edit the video later tonight and have it up tomorrow.

thanks to steve for hosting and steve for tuning. its amazing, my car drives normal now. real nice. meetin everyone was real nice too.

justin, good luck with the cosmo man. i might check it out if that's okay later in the summer. badass project.

everyone needs to get there asses in gear for summer mods cause kan said he's down for another fall tune. and maybe this time the Mad Dog himself will have an rx7 there....instead of a CX-7

tony- next time around......we'll drink more and get 30psi. we just gotta make steve drink too. you should have thao bring the s14 and put a tune on that too.

phil- met your pops, great guy. really wish you could have made it, your car is puttin out some serious power. get that leg fixed mang.

cheers to everyone

edit: hey charlie, what plugs are you running right now? steve told me to move up to a 10.5 to help with breakup up top. said to make sure they were the "R" version.

Yea, I dropped out cause I broke my leg and also can't work right now because of it so no $ for me. I will be running the car at Gateway Raceway on May 6th when I get back in town (only for a week before returning to FL for summer classes ) but hopefully she will see a mid 10 second pass on the new rearend and some C16.

I will keep all of you updated on the Cosmo for sure. I dunno what motor to go with. I am torn between a Cosmo RE and a S5 13Bt. I will figure all that **** out later on, gotta get the car first.

You St.Louis heads want to party at any time, let me know. I will also be holding a BBQ in June probably, do it on a Sunday. Unsure of an actual date though. I will post something up soon.

the only time it has been boosted was when Thao did,
that was 6 hrs. of driving and it didn't slip.


I think I'm gonna invest in that twin disc.
I need to start selling my body again.

tony, i should have let you feel the clutch in my car. exedy twin disc. i absolutely love it and i dont think its hard to drive on the street at all. very friendly. shoot ze fotos to musick_5@hotmail.com

and yeah, eric, after i got back to nate's we went out for a few pulls and after i got on it, he suddenly starts tellin me to back off. my knock was reading 80-85. called steve and ended up gettin it all figured out. he checked it out and said it was just a lot of noise due to break up w/ ignition and i guess i've just got a noisy motor.

now that's a tuner for ya: goin for 3rd gear pulls at 12:30 when your flight leaves at 6:00. thanks again kan

You were the guy with the really old plugs right? Just go get some $5 autozone 10.5 motorcycle plugs and it works out perfectly. Also when Kan tuned my car, I too had a "noisy" engine was my knock meter would go nuts but steve said it would be fine and there are about 7k miles on the motor so he knows what he is talking about.

Sounds good enough for me...
that was my biggest concern.
And I'll get those pix up soon...I got all 4 wisdom teeth pulled yesterday and they had to stitch up my gum so, I'm pretty messed up on the drugs they gave me.

Those 1600cc primary injectors are a pain to adjust. You are either in the 11's in A/F or 15's in A/F. There's no in between. Next time around, I will see if there's anything we can do to get the driveabliity better.
