I know we've probably have been over this a handful of times already. But does anyone know someone that will be cool about a state inspection if only a few things might be "out of place"?

So I drove my 7 to Columbia tonight, it will soon be eating little children for breakfast... as soon as it can go above 3800 rpms and/or boost.

I thought y'all just have to inspect when you first buy a car, then it can become a rolling deathtrap and nobody'll care.

I gave up on finding someone and just got historic tags for all my vehicles except the Nighthawk.

My 7 is running on my megasquirt, it's not the limit of my stock ECU. The boost and secondary injectors just haven't been tuned yet.

my comment was a joke as stock boost on my car is 5-7 PSI and fuel cut happens at 14 PSI on Stock ECU, which my new turbo does really early. still using a 7PSI wastegate to keep away from a 3000 RPM fuelcut.

Well, now I really have a good excuse to vac the car out...

I boobytrap my dog all the time, setting plates that will make loud noises close to the edge of the table so that if she licks them, they'll fall and such...

If only she didn't **** all over the floor when she freaked out.

Yep, it boosts at pretty low rpm though. I think when I drove it, I gave it a little throttle at like 2000 rpms, and it boosted a little before I got out of it (needed more fuel there).

I definitely need to work on the stage points though, since at light load it stages like crap right now. Other than that it ran pretty well a couple of weeks ago when I helped him tune the < 100 kPa < 4000 rpms parts of the VE table though.

Myk: Did you fix the LC-1 grounding?

I have one, but I'm not sure when I'm going to get around to taking it out of my car

I might be able to get to it tomorrow or this weekend sometime.

Also, one a side note... injector o-rings breaking is a very very scary thing. fuel spraying on a hot engine = bad

but on a side note, my gasoline is light blue because I use blue two stroke oil

man. dry power fire extinguishers really make a mess!! Every time I go around a corner now I get a puff of the stuff coming out of the vents. Even AFTER blowing it all out with a shop vac.

BTW: Armorall wipes rule

So after trying to meet their requirements and failing on four VIEP tests , I'm ready to just screw it all and get some Historic tags. I know that *technically* you can only drive a Historic 2,000mi a year, but has anyone ever had that sort of thing checked?

Oh, and 2nd-ing pics of the engine.

Well, first I had to lay around a bit from migraines, then I was freeeeeeeeeee, so I stripped it down to the bare block. Before I can take the oil pan off, I need to drain it of oil that SOMEONE left in there! I gotta get a friend to help me lift it over a drain pan. Then I smashed my foot pretty good. Thats about where it stands right now. Aside from all my excuses, it's ready to come apart.

News to me, unless they just recently put that on the books.
