that sucks, i was wondering what happened to you. i know you planned to be there. that sucks...

i think it was a pretty good day, minus my car ******* up, and me missing my work assignment. i dont really know whats wrong with the car, but i do know i have to ride the bike tomorrow no matter how cold it is in the morning . hopefully ill have some time to work on it tomorrow? i might throw another carb on there and see what that does. i drove it around tonight and it has NO power. its definately a fuel/ignition problem. i might throw another set of plugs in there as well? who knows.. i need another car, BAD.

 

Sorry I couldn't make it this time... I was installing my midpipe and new tires instead...

 

All in all that was one of the best autocrosses I've been to, it flowed soooo nice.

On further www.vmsc.org inspection the Dec. 5th event is now open for pre-registration.

 

Can't you guys just tell me it sucked and I didn't miss anything?
Thanks for the heads up on the registration. Hopefully my car will be fixed in time for next sunday, but if it's not ready by the 5th I'll cry (even more).

Pre-reg now, there is going to be a cap of 100 cars at the Dec 5th event!!

 

It was nice to meet you guys yesterday. I met a guy named BJ, I think he was Zach's roommate. Then I met Mike as well, thanks for letting me use those tools man. It was 16psi all the way home

 

Glad you got to meet everyone. Hopefully we can have another meet at the autox on the 5th and I can actually race. I hope I can get the part I need this week.

~brian

 

Only one of you guys is pre-registered for the NASA event on the 28th...

 

Ummm that's Thanksgiving weekend, alot of us either have family coming into town or are leaving town to visit family. So i wouldn't expect a big turnout from people a good distance off.

 

I'm preregged. I think mike is, too.

~brian

 

I might drive the Civic on the Fifth..

 

fo sho!!

well, i got my car in the garage today. i drove it to work and it was hell. it wouldnt idle below 2k. i did a compression test and i got 60psi on all faces of both rotors. not bad, but not great either. my dad is helping me rebuild a carb i had laying around (i know **** about carburators). i started taking mine off and man is that thing a pain in the *** to get off. i wish my car was EFI. im hoping this rebuilt carb will solve my problem. im thinking its definately fuel related.

im really hating my car right about meow...

 

Anyone have any ideas as to why my first gen revs to 4k when you start it? Throttle cable seems to be fine, choke is fine, any other ideas?

~brian

 

because first gens blow *** and they should all burn in hell...


actually, i have no idea, that sounds weird...

 

Not much of an FB guy but I know FC do, or are at least supposed to, rev to about 3k on a cold start.

</uselesstidbitofinfo>

 

FD do the same on cold start to 3k. Maybe thats what its doing? Is it only on cold start?

Happy turkey day!

 

nah it's not cold start, it would only do that if the choke was out anyway.
oh well, we'll figure it out. might go play with it some more today.

~brian

 

yea, the gsl-se's will do that too. i think its a efi thing.


but being that you have the carb'd 12a, im not too sure what it could be? have you tried posting in the first gen forum?

 

Sounds like stating the obvious, but a valid question none the less

 

Yeah I did. I think I found a better fix, I'll post up tomorrow when I'm sure :x.
Saw Josepi tonight @ Glory Days. Some other people should come out sometime.

~brian

 

hey zach, you wouldnt happen to have that 12a dizzy that came with that motor i gave you would you? if so you want to get rid of it? ill pay you for it, i think thats whats wrong with my car, and i dont want to wait 3 days and pay $90 through napa for new pickups for it to be something else wrong.


anyone else happen to have one laying around in case zach doesnt?

 

1.1- I have an old ('88) CRX if your interested. I drove it everyday until a few months ago. PM me if interested. I need to get it out of my driveway.

 

Damn man, I got rid of it. Sorry!

 

Well I hope I get to see everyone down at VMP this Sunday, hopefully it'll be as nice as the last one.
