He's one of my favorites. You know he drives an FB.





Random shots of the Silver One I just took a few minutes ago. Notice how the X wheels on both sides are perfectly aligned.

Looks like I'll have to pay Wallace a visit. Thanks for the heads up Brett.

Alex we could align the X wheels on your 82 but they probably won't stay aligned very long. That model doesn't have the OCD (Oscillating Compensatory Deregulator), the OCD was only available on the 84/85 GSLs. Without an OCD the out-of-phase oscillations of the X wheels can't be read by the Compensator and you get no deregulation of your X wheel alignment, so they will get messed up pretty quickly. Especially if you are heavy on the gas pedal and curves (which of course you and your mom don't do, right?)

Dudes, Happy New Year, I hope 2011 is the best one yet and adds at least one or two more FB's to your stable.

Anybody going to the 1-4-11 OGTA meeting? I'm going to be there (with camera) and Dean the Hoosier is planning to exhibit the results of his latest Deer Hunting excursion out on I85. So that's two FB's already, a good FB turnout will show the rest of the world (including California) that Suwanee GA remains the Rotary Capital of the World.

I'll be there in my newly modified FC. We were coming back from Tennessee with some new years celebration explosives and a lady (who was pretty nice and was really upset about it) backed into me as I was backing out at McDonald's. My drivers side quarter panel has a big dent in it and the paint is chipped off pretty bad, but hopefully it should be a small fix and it won't be a pain in my ***. She admitted fault and we got a police report and everything, so let's just hope...

I'll be there with a new Christmas toy - a brake light checker! Lotus Tim might know what that means.

Ray has typed that for months and still we do not see him. I think he must be going to another place that is actually called Twisted Sister.

Crit, bring some blinker fluid too.

I am planning to to be there Tuesday.

Anyone have an SE coolant overflow bottle they are willing to part with, Ben, Crit, etc.?

I hope to be struting around like a real rotorhead Tuesday. I installed the 2GFMOC, removed the rats nest, killed the dread lung mustard, solved the partial flooding problem, got the beast idleing smooth (nearly perfect) at 750 rpm. Now, if it can just hold together until tomorrow night.

Holly has me figured out. Last couple of OGTA's I've been headed down to John's Creek. I figure with Crit and the rest of you guys down at Twisted Sisters, I've got a better than decent chance of getting a good waitress.

However, tomorrow I will be at Twisted Sisters. I promise.

Mike I can't believe you ditched your Rat's Nest.

Don't worry about it, you can have it since I've got another spare for myself and I'm not using it anytime soon. If you ever get another set of mirrors, we can talk about it then. I'll try to remember to grab it tomorrow evening.

Anyone else need anything FC related? I've got a spare coil for you 2GDFI guys that I don't want much for. And I just got another set of FC front strut bolt covers if anyone wants them just to make Ray go mad...

Never seen a toyota truck with a 12A in it before, nice snag Peter!

Brett, remember: Just say no to cheezy plastic FC strut covers.

That engine sounds pretty tempting Andre, but don't bridge ports go brap brap alot and are hard to idle? Might not be the best thing in a daily driver, no?

See you dudes this evening. They say the weather is going to be terrific, clear, in the upper 50's, way above average for January.

The Rotary Gods are smiling on us.

Mike, true, I was quite a hunk in my younger days. And I'm even more of a hunk now, gained 35 lbs since I got married.

Can anyone hook me up with a coolant overflow bottle from an GSLSE?

I'm sure we can work out some type of trade or cash deal.

you know ray, normally i would agree with the idle, but if the port timing is spot on the engine will idle smoothly. well.... as smooth as a brap brap brap will let you. lol as far as shutting off at lights and all that jazz, I have never had an issue with that myself, and this engine hasnt either. but the mighty BRAP BRAP isnt for everyone. most people love the smoothness and simplicity of a stock port. I cant say I blame them but if one wants a nasty amount of power N/A out of a 12A other than PP this is the most drivable setup I have ever seen. Did I mention that it mad 218 at the wheels? granted that was on C16 but 185 na on pump gas isnt a hard target to rectify

Another month and another meeting missed. Either gonna be stuck here at work, or at home packing for vacation followed by immediate work trip. Maybe in 2011?
