Apple Blossom results
 

Well, another ABF has come and gone. What was everyone's opinions on how things went and what was good/bad about it. How about some people post up their dyno results and such.

It was fun... too many damned cops. I need to bring my -7 next year!!!

212.8 @ 5400 RPM and one roasted engine.

Living in the Tri-Cities, it's was nice to meet all the friendly Rotary people from around the north west. I learned alot of technical stuff talking too.

It was my official first even though I went up to the watch the dyno last year. It' way better to do the package. We are lucky to have people around who put in all the time and energy to organize this event, thanks.

well i did the dyno on my 87 with prolly close to 150K on the motor, with a full exhaust setup and a cone filter! didnt do to bad better then i expected!!

thats not bad man

hey DR JONES your the guy with the red t2 with the body kit that blew the motor on the dyno right??? could you post up the dyno sheet im kinda curious to see what the graph looks like before and after blowing the motor... cause i heard you still hit 100 hp on the run after the motor blew

My scanner isn't working since I installed XP but:

first pull max power = 212.8 / max torque = 208.1
second pull max power = 99.3 / max torque = 78.7

And it's official, I pulled the trailing plug on the rear rotor and got 3 strong pulses, then I pulled the trailing plug on the front rotor and got absolutly nothing. Its amazing that I could still drive a car with a blown engine down I-90 @ 75 mph.

I'm glad you made it home alright jones. You blew some pretty nice flames on the dyno. :P It was awesome to meet everyone again, or for the first time. I'll rem. next year to sign up. I'd just like to thank everyone who helped me through this event. I appreciate the hospitality that came along with it. I regret one or two things I did during the event. For next year, hopefully, I will remember my wrongs and won't repeat them.

Here is mine with a 12A Street Port

my repu could easily maintain 60+ in 4th gear with a blown rear rotor...

The Classy Chassy parade was a kick. The crowd loved the cars. Kettlman should get an award for his showman ship. People yell your name and at first I was looking to see if there was someone I knew, until I figured out that my name was on the side of the car, duh.

PS Kettlman, its righty tighty = off

PICS!!! pretty please...

oh god, no pics Kettleman if you. . .! :P

we will be calling you WallyBlowChunks from now on. ha ha ha

Bet he wont be eating any strawberries for a long time.:rlaugh: :rlaugh:

Hmmm^^^ looks like I missed a good party. Next year, if I still have the FC Ill be sure to have more fun.

124 hp @4500 RPM
165 TQ @4500 RPM.... and a nice bazooka flame show!!
not too bad for a way under tuned car. Cant wait to finish the tuning

I would like to say that it is very nice putting a face to all the names. i enjoyed meeting you all and it does sound like i missed a pretty good afterparty but afterall, i made the treck for the 7's and after getting to see them all i was pretty content. Hopefullly next year i could maybe possibly have a running 7. but in the meantime, it was nice to meet you all.

I agree with ApexRX, it was nice getting to see all the people who until then had only been handles and avatars on here.

I'm glad I could make it this year and hopefully I'll have my car up and running to drive on out there next year. Though I think getting to drive the RX-8 was a fair exchange.

Oh yeah, to you first gen guys, sorry about the raffle prizes, I'll see what I can do about maybe getting some FB stuff next year :-D

True, when i got home my mom had bought strawberries. I couldnt look at them again. Next time I'll limit my drinking to one beer.

Had a hell of a great time. People were way cooler than I expected, Nice to meet some new people for the first time. My wife Michelle enjoyed herself as well. Thanks for keeping her occupied during the car show and dyno. Big thanks to Brad, Deena, and Allan for their parts in making this happen, It was well organized and safe. I only sorry i missed last year. Never again though. Thanks to who ever didn't dyno the second day. I hit 189.9 at 8-9 psi of boost and 6500 rpm. Stock J spec with a full three inch exhaust and aftermarket intake. I am pretty happy with that considering I got it running back in march.
The raffle was great, and so was the buffet. Big thanks to everyone involved.

Caution watch out for Z-beater next year, I sure he is already planning his revenge.!!

I might have to bring something that will light up the dyno a bit next year ;)

Hopefully I will have less light and more power next year!;)

Your FC was off the hook. I enjoyed every bit of the event, too bad I couldn't bring the FD down, maybe next year.

I didn't enjoy all the kops harrassing people. But, I did enjoy the free Red Bulls! The Rotary's represented big time!

Well it was good seeing a few people. Even tho most of you probably dont know who i am!!! haha... Anywho i probably wont be going next year... 9 hour drive and $180 for ONE night in a hotel was a bit to much for me!!!
I did get puled over once haha.. no front plate and cracked windsheild

86GXL is that one of our "fine" WS troopers or still in I DA HO??

yeah thats a washington trooper... about 50 miles out of wenatchi (sp?)

Details?

that sux, I got pulled for a a front plate too on the way home. But no ticket I had 3 day tags:)

I rode my bike over and i got a ticket for riding without my headlight on. 1 ticket = not bad for riding a cr500 accross the state.

CJG

haha you loser you got a ticket

wow....that sucks about ur ticket.....i dont have my car yet...my dad and i are fixing it from the ABF when he blew the front rotor....

hopefull when i get my license and my car i dont get one...

Yeah I want to see pics...I was there but really can't remember!

haha same as my first experience there^^some one didnt think i could chug a bottle of aftershock

LOL HES DRIVING A PURPLE COP CAR!! :gayboy:

Why in hell did you paint your hood black like that?

im going togo out on a limb and say it was black before he put it on

^is it even turbo?

look at the mirrors, if it is it didnt come that way stock.

Is that a real cop in the picture or the rice police?

CJG

I was at the Red Lion for AB. Kettleman, I yelled at you as you drove by on saturday in the parking lot. You didn't hear me I guess? Anywho, I would of drove the FD down, but in lieu of putting in my down pipe, my buddy broke an exhaust stud on the turbo. Ended up pulling off the turbo's and exhaust manifold. Taking the parts in tomorrow to get the studs removed. Hopefully I'll be at the June Izzy's meet. I also put in an Apex BOV recently, and with the new DP it should be aight.

Anywho, I need to sleep, it's 3:35am and I'm leaving for Vegas in 4 hours.

well damn. i was woundering what happened to you . didn't hear you. have fun in l.v.

Bastard!!! you got an FD and your going to Vegas ;)

Yeah it's cool. As soon as I get it running again (hopefully as soon as I get back) then I'll be picking up my KAAZ LSD. Battle of the Imports is at the end of August. Rotary's everywhere should head there. I saw 1 FB and 1 Black FD there b'sides the orange rx7.com drag car.

BTW - It's hot as hell here!

Its black because the car is getting painted soon so i just primered it. Although i rather like the black.

NO its not a T2. I got the hood for FREE and its lighter than the steel hood so i am NOT claiming i'm turbo'd or anything. Its just an NA.

Rotortuner<< Rice police?? how is my stock body car ricey???

PUAHAHAHA!!!!
its okay dude!
