Hey! According to several people at the last meet, I handled my pickup truck rather well on the curvy *** road on the way to Jon's Garage...

*sigh*

I need to move to Maryland... Or better yet, somewhere in the boonies, away from D.C.

 

I did that in my Jeep wrangler!!

 

what kind of pickup? and in relation to OTHER roads in the area...that road does not really count as "curvy ***". those are normal curves. go have fun on avery road down by norbeck. or needwood road.

 

I just hope I have time to help, I'm eventually going to show jason how to set up the megasquirt, so he should be able to help you too.

Christian: At this point the regular megasquirt with the MSnS-extra firmware does more than MS2 does anyway... although that might change by July/Aug when the next batch of MS2's comes out... either way, the regular MS with MSnS-extra firmware is " " this close to having stock leading and trailing ignition with configurable split, and can already run the stock leading with the stock CAS (it couldn't when Jason and I first got his car starting, it's pretty recent for it to handle the stock stuff, and jason and I are switching as soon as the parts I got from digikey to condition his CAS signal get here)

 

according to this site:

http://www.scuderiaciriani.com/rx7/computer.html#WOL

it's about $1425.00 for the base model.... that's like 10x what a megasquirt costs if you build it yourself, and the megasquirt actually has better configurability (Wolf3d for example has 16x16 tables, but configurable only at 125 rpm increments. With the megasquirt you can actually put the rpm bins wherever you want, even though the firmware I'm running is only using 12x12 tables... with interpolation and moveable rpm bins, you have the eqivalent of a much larger table.

Oh yeah, I ran jason's car at WOT to 5k rpms last night on the megasquirt.... and the AFR on the wideband was within 5% of 13.2:1 everywhere except the exact spot where the second set of injectors kicked in (when the second set of injectors kicks in, the pulsewidth of the first set cuts in half, and I guess it takes about .2 seconds for the fuel from the secondary injectors to get to the engine, so there was a .4 second lean spike to about 14.8:1 when the secondaries kicked in, and I'm talking to the author of the code to see if I can get a configurable delay before cutting the pulse-width on the primaries).

It should be interesting to run WOT after the aux ports are working.

Thats where i'm thinking of getting some deep dishes.. but i'm waitin for Brian to get back with me on the prices for his rims..

 

I have no clue where Norbeck or Needwood Rd. is... I cross the Wilson, Americna Legion, or 14th St. bridges, leave Virginia, and all of a sudden my *** disappears... Can't find it with both hands, a map, and GPS...

Soon as I see the familiar blue "Welcome to Virginia! Pay through the nose for housing." sign, it comes back and I can sit properly.

It's a 1989 B2600i 4x4. Completely anemic 2.6L I4 (With a whopping 125ish HP and 150ish Ft/Lb of Torque.)

 

Needwood road and Needwood park is awesome fun ^_^

 

thats where i flew off the road with my supra. the hard turn to the left right before coming up to the lake.......my car went STRAIGHT

 

some of the back roads to get back to laytonsville from rockville. theres an even better road up by the DMV in gaithersburg that i did at about 55-60 in a NEON (durring my drivers ed class) back 7 years ago speed limit being about 20-25 cuz it twists so much and a LOT of blind curves. then if yer nuts...go up and down sugarloaf mountain....hairpin turns, steep cliffs...NO guardrails.

Yeah don't put these heavy *** rims on your car. Find something light for your NA or it will be slower than it already is off the line. Get some enki's in 15 inch and they should be light enuff to get it done.

 

i think the website is wheelspec.com. pretty much has all the wheels and all their info.

fc3spro has the min and max offsets you can play around with to get the lippy goodness you're looking for. or just hit a drift event and ask one of the guys to roll your fender lips for a cheeseburger or something.

you've seen my wheels. they're +35 but i have a 5mm spacer so now they're +30. most wheels in the high 20s and low 30s have a nice lip. the style then takes over.

 

thats what i want.. 15's.. but i also want a little dish on da rear..

^trying to get a maryland section ^

 

yeahhh...that's why i STOPPED going up there a couple of years ago. i miss the massive meets that happened every friday and saturday night...the muscle cars were badass.

 

good idea...at least a DC metro area would be nicer than us clogging the crap out of this thread.

 

mmmmmmlip.

*muses about her wheels, which have a bigger lip than Calvin's...*

 

I wish I could get wheels but I need to paint my car first

 

Lets get some flat-black spraypaint... you can have that sr-71 look.

 

haha, monchie's car is flat black, no thanks

if I had a crappy daily driver, I would flat black it, and spray paint funny things on it

 

i want a flat black 7 with flat black wheels, it'd be call the sRX-7

 

haha, nice

 

i guess i'm wierd...wheels are one of the first things i shop for once a vehicle's running the way i want. screw paint first...heh...

 

Awesome. I'm totally for having a house party to celebrate moving in

Just gotta ask Ken first

 

<--- car isn't running either

and new wheels wouldn't really look good on a primer car
