sorry guys, had to work today, got called in at last minute.

 

well this is where the caller ID comes in handy you go like o its you I really dont feel like talking to you sorry. Like me yesterday at work my boss asked if I was going to come in today and work some by meaning some its more like 10 hours or so I was like nope I am planing on going home and getting some stuff done that I havent had time to do it since I have bin working.

 

Quick question - I read that you can determine a knock on the PFC as a spike on the graph... but how significant of a spike? The alarm on the PFC is set for 60. Highest knock level that I have even at WOT is 25ish (if that high). There isn't any (that I've seen) major significant spikes...

 

guess what, when and toby were leaving sam's, the purple R34 showed up too

anyway, great meet, masin post your video footage!!

 

I knew i shoud have gone. But I just had way too much **** to get done here and still havent goten around to the car yet.

 

I saw the R34 at the light as I was leaving. Good times... I am working on my monster so I will go to the Upstate next month. I need to get in touch with Reese again and get it rolling. Here are the pics I said I'd post. That is me inside the X-Men RX-8 before getting bumrushed by security at the LA Auto Show in Jan of 2003.

Also more people should have shown up

 

well you know thsoe damn unmarked mustang cops? i got a ticket last night about 20 minutes from my house last night. but i think i have a chance to get off because he had no parking lights or anything on and he just looked like a broken down car. well see

 

how bad was the ticket.

 

that sucks, but at least you guys made it back ok? what time did you get back? cop must have been bored as hell to give a ticket at 3 in the morning

 

What is with the cops up there?

Good rx7 meet, I enjoyed the exhaust fumes, new clutch smell, my glowing exhaust manifold, semi drift then almost loseing it, while turning on another road. and spe...ing.

later.

 

Heres pics of the engine:

It looks like the coolant seals blew,and the front rotor had it the worst. I guess carbon sludge locked it up, it actually started turning when we tried to take the front eccentric shaft bolt out yesterday. I think it looks pretty good overall, all seals pretty much intact!

 

How the did you get the front pulley bolt off?

 

Some front pulleys are pretty easy normal impact works. The last 2 I had to do one took an 1100 ft/lbf single action impact (sounds like a mini cannon) the other needed more just took it to a tire place and he had an awesome double action impact (sounds like an uzi) that took a few minutes of back and forth action to break free. Most guy at these places are pretty cool and $10 should work. Got change for my $.02?

 

LOL I just noticed I never actually asked my question - What level is considered to be a true knock?

 

next time i drive the Tii i will try to remember to look at knock for you. i have no idea what it should be

 

Anyone?

 

lets carry this over to the december meet thread. i keep forgetting to look at knock.

 

I just finished doing some research on the PFC forum and under the conclusion that one car's reading doesn't equate to another.

Like today, I just got the car back from the Dealership from getting a fresh oil (tranny, diff, and motor) as well as a coolent flush. I'm driving under what seems to be normal dirving and all of a sudden there's a spike on the graph. I'm avg 20s on the knock level and this shot out to 29. Was this a knock?

 

my Tii would do that too when i had the safc hooked up, i would get like in the 40's just driving like normal, not sure what that means
