its gonna look great i promise. im upgrading a bit too cause i picked up a CS front lip. all im painting is the front end. i might paint the hood but i really wanna get an OE carbon one just to shave some weight. if you guys dont mind i would like to hit the dyno too. im just curious what im really at. im sick of wondering lol. do you have a round about idea how much it cost to do a run or two?

 

The caravan going isn't full of ricers. lol. One 900hp GTO, one claimed 500hp tallon, one claimed 450hp talon, a couple sti's, and a couple rx7's
we only have like 15 guys that want to go, but a couple might not make it. Feel free to come with us if you want.

 

that is good to hear bro. I may consider since my Mom and Dad live in Ennis. it would be a fun drive. When is it again? How are the 7's in bozeman? And the only reason I say ricers is because EVERY time I go to bozeman all i see are hondas and DSM's rolling around trying to race everything. lol, one prelude tried to race my dad with me, my wife and my 2 year old in the car. haha, plus to top it off the *** clown looked 30.

only downside is man that if there are even 12 people there including ransom and I, that is well over 10 hours of dyno runs and I doubt they will be open that long. Figure you have to strap the cars down, position the sniffer, wait for the driver to get there **** together all for one car. Not to mention the promised problems.

 

haha gotta love the 30 year old *** clowns. im still tryin to get ahold of pat. i really wanna get that car from him so i can start the work. have you heard from him Ransom? Im still lookin for a place to keep it over the summer too if anyone has any suggestions

 

I am going to pass on the Bozeman run. Sounds to me like a Dyno Drag. If I had the car tuned I would be all for this but I am looking to spend a little more time then I would be able to get at this event. It is going to take at least a day if not more to get both cars done. They will do a day rate I believe, but I doubt it will be very cheap.


Sean you are looking at having 2-3 hours of time on the dyno? I am going to start harassing them for some prices and date to get this done.



Kyle I have not talked to Pat I will try and stalk him at the bar this weekend.

 

k. thanks man. i think im gonna try me luck with a CS ecu reflash

 

That is what kyle has been running for years now. Seems to have kept him from hitting fuel cut and from crackin any seals.

 

no set date yet for the dyno run
I'll let you know. seems like a couple people dropped out recently.

 

yeah he says it was nice. i think havin the fcd causes some hesitation if you dont have something else( like the fcon) to go with it. i noticed rhetts has a really bad dead spot aroun 2500 and matts used to until he hooked up one the wire for the fcd in the fcon. but anyway i thought it might be a good idea for my car just to add a little more i gotta call CS.

 

I dont think anyone is gonna fight with you pal. HA HA. You could make your way to the front of the line if you wanted and we could just follow you. I'm thinking about doing some more to my car also. Meaning pulling my engine to make it easier. Plans are new oil pump and street pressure regulator also check if its jetted cause I dont like low idle oil pressure it bothers me. Should check my oil line to my gauge for any kinks too could be getting a bad reading. Maybe even get the Banzai oil pan brace just cause.

 

Ransom I am still down for going with you. 2 hours at most I THINK for me. Like I said I will try to get the road tuning finished up.

I might do the Bozeman thing just as an excuse to drive down and see my folks. Hopefully the Bozeman dyno session is after our little dyno tuning so I can see the difference in different dyno outputs.

MATT; it HAS to be your o-ring man. If you take your engine out let me know and I PROMISE I will come over and help look it over. Sorry I couldn't get over on Sunday. Been busy with packing and getting Grandmother ready to move out to Spokane with my uncle.

 

i wanna do somethin with the engine in the car im gettin from pat.........

 

Like what?

 

i was thinkin maybe rebuild that one on my own and put it in my red one. im doin something real special with the gxl

 

Real special means real broke!

 

lol... im fine with no money... if it takes me a while im fine with that too. i already have started a list of parts ill need and some other stuff im gonna get.

 

And so it begins!

 

im excited. not really worried about ne thing . i think as long as i take my time and stick to my plan everything will go smoothly im sure there will be some speed bumps but no worries

 

Well keep telling yourself that over and over and over again in front of a mirror and you should be alright. Haha its saturday I am bored all weekend if anyone wants to hang let me know gimmie a call whatever.


My B-day is also this next friday so I am sure I will have a BBq or something if weather permits. If not some Pizza and Xbox probly. I will let you guys know when I have a date and time for this.

 

hahaha.. like a said i do expect it wont go perfectly but im not worried.. it is what it is... a project rx7. i can promise one thing though.. its a hell of a lot better than a damn girl right now

 

well the FB took a crap on me last night. rear wheel bearing sounds like its about to explode...

so now im stuck driving a POS vw jetta untill some wheel bearings show up

 

That sucks. Oh well now they will be new. Must have been all that extra heavy stereo haulin.


Which is kind of funny. I was haulin gravel out to wolf creek this week and had 2 wheels come completely off the trailer because the person who just installed them had no idea how to do it, and had the lock rings way to tight. So it melted the axle locknut and cotterpin and the wheel came off at 70. Then we parked the trailer and the other wheel fell off.

So we go back into town to get their other trailer and shovel all the gravel from one to the other by hand. But their other trailer does the exact same thing. So we leave that one in cascade to let it cool while we go grab my Grandpa from Wolf Creek and while we are unhookin the trailer I went a picked some litter from the cattle guard fence and when I do I find a $20 then another and then another. All in the middle of BFE on the Cascade exit.

We get the trailer back, they fix it the next morning, and we head out to get the gravel out of the trailer that had the wheels fall off. Because Carnahans won't tow a trailer with gravel in it. They at least loaned us a Dingo to get most of the brunt of the 4 tons of gravel out of the trailer so I did not have to shovel it all by hand. So it seems it is time for wheel bearings to fail this week. Had about 7 of them go out on me this week alone. 2 of which took wheels with them.

 

haha yea actually the stereo is for sale... need to sell to fund the overly priced adapter plate for 12a -> porsche trans.. and to help fund the rx a little...

anyone have a 1st gen GSL rear end w/ disk brakes and lsd?

 

Yeah that kinda sucks but you will have much more fun with the car without the Decapitator in the back.

 

Ransom any Dyno news?
