Yeah, sold it within the hour I had posted it. MSD 6T. Sorry Billy, if I still had it, it would be yours

EDIT: Billy, I did the registration for ZOOM FEST, but I used my brother's pay pal. Would there be an issue with that? There would be "2 kevins" going.

So Colin, his friend Shawn, and I all cruised up on Blood Mountain around Turner's Corner and Suches and Dahlonega. It was funnn to- I don't feel like my car's so slow now...

And tomorrow I'm off to Florida! Fernandina Beach, just above Jacksonville to be exact. I'm chilling with my dad and grandparents for a few days. I've got an extra alternator, some fuses, vacuum line, water, oil, and my tool bag packed in case something goes wrong. Fun fun fun.

Looks like you had fun Brett! Ray as much as I want to "just believe" I'm going to run seafoam through the fuel inlets tomorrow and shake the carb like crazy just to make sure I can feel like I' cleaning it some. Don't worry Greg, I won't submerge the carb in a cleaner or get it on any of the electrical or vacuum things that look delicate. Thank you once again for lending us the carburetor! I'm sure my cousin and I will find a way to repay you if you're ever in need of something. If you need any Dellorto idle jets to play with tuning. I have a couple different extra variants. I think I've got them in sizes 70 72 75 77 aaaaand.......I'm using the 80s. I also have 80 accelerator pump jets if you want to play with those. All of these will run the 13B pretty well, don't know what a good 12A application is. I find I might need even richer idle jets than the 80s I have and I haven't gotten around to ordering any main jets to play with, but if you want to mess with any of the idle jets I have, let me know.

That we did.

I photochopped this and tried fixing my hail damage, chipped paint, and Colin's fender. It's my wallpaper now

Shhh! If I would have lost it, I would've just fishtailed and eventually slid around... lol. I was kind of proud that I caught it back so good though I got too excited, so I we need more breaks in between. But you're right, we should definitely do it again. Of course once we've got decent tires and what not.

S5 NA vs FB 12a... both got to 130 and never pulled on each other

Nice pictures though!

Y'all be careful about lumping all of us FB guys together. Those of us with Pulsation Dampers have 13Bs, too. Stock.

That was good

Speaking of which- I had a dream I came to the SE section and saw a thread 'Young guys with 13B's' and that you guys had made us leave and go to another thread.

I just signed up for Zoom-Fest! I can only do the regular Saturday deal because of funds... I hadn't planned on charging an Engine Hoist amongst other things to my credit cards last year when I promised I'd make this years event...so no PDX for me, but I'm staying true to my promise and I'M COMING!

Be prepared for some Sabine whoring!

Brett...dude...what's this about almost killing yourself? Now what have I told you about mountain driving like a RETARD and pushing the car too hard? Hm? :-P If you go off a mountain and die, I totally get what's left of your car...and those side skirts you refuse to sell me..


Vermont is awesome btw, just wish I had Sabine or the Miata up here so I could go to some car meets.

OGTA has a nice ring to it. YGTB does not.

Guess I need to be signing up for ZoomFest. When is that anyway? Michael are you coming down for the weekend? Be good to see you and that 13B.

"the weekend" I'm talking about is ZoomFest weekend, sorry not to be clear Michael. I'm waiting to see who commits before I sign up, you are on my "Must Be There" list. I can bring those brown door panels if you still want them.

What's this, an aftermarket FC sound system?



Brett and Colin, you guys look a little bit lonely



We'll have to take some 12As and Nikki's up there next time and show you guys around the back roads

It's a boombox made from a bunch of car parts.

As with Crit said, not all of us are sporting 12As and Nikkis. You can ask Brett, my 26 year old suspension components hold me back a lot, but I hold my own pretty well.
