pffft, fix those issues man!

 

Damn, I'd love to go to this one and bring my friend who's been autoXing for a while, but, alas, I'll be either moving or preparing to move all of April.

Maybe I'll make it out one of these days.

 

I'll try to make it! I might not be able to get the 7 up by then, I'm waiting on the FD alternator kit,
but if its not running i can still bring the supra out. Its just a stock '91t, but it should be fun anyways.
Anybody coming from the Concord/Walnut Creek area?

 

So does anyone want to help Jake swap his tranny say this weekend or next weekend I just got my Sr Motorsports lightweight flywheel, the engine harness, and slave clutch cylinder. Also have tranny, rear end, pedals, master clutch cylinder, shifter, clutch, pressure plate, ECU, drive shaft, all tranny/diff mounts. And he is sending my all the shifter boots/housing things today or tomorrow. Can you guys think of anything else I need?

Edit: also ordered new pilot bearing and seal.

 

Dont you love when huge flamez fly out the back of your rotary truck at night!Ahhhh!

 

im having a major flame issue right now.....but at idle! haha. sorry jake cant help you this weekend, im going to san mateo for HIN. btw im a promoter for Vision entertainment so if anyones interested its this saturday @ san mateo expo center 5pm-midnight. If you want to pick up a coupon/flyer for $3 bucks off let me know too.

 

Ooh yea i'm going to HIN too. See you there i guess! Can I get a Flyer? And are you taking the 7? if so we should caravan over. could meet you in manteca by 120.

 

where is the autox location?

 

i should be able to help out still if you need Jake, just pay for my gas and some food.

i just did my taxes, $2400 refund baby! can you say MODS!

 

i could use $2400 right about now, i NEED a pfc to fix my flamage issues.

 

Ben if you think we can do it this weekend them i'm all in, i'll pass up HIN. I've been there a few times anyways. Does anyone else think they could assist me, i'm not very experienced with motors/trannies and could use all the help I can get! Any help would be appreciated. Ben do you want to start on Saturday morning?

 

we can do it the following weekend if you had plans to go, i do have something i need to take care of on Sunday but Saturday is open. i have no clue how long it will take to get everything swapped out though, i'm sure it can be done in a day but me knowing nothing about FDs would take a little longer to get things out and back together.

 

i put my engine and tranny in in a day, so it shouldnt take too long. Even faster if you had a lift.

 

this is a little different though, wiring harness needs to be swapped over, pedals need to be removed and installed, rear end needs to be swapped, transmission needs to be swapped over, flywheels swapped, guages replaced, etc. etc. etc.

i figured 2 days to be safe unless someone who has done the swap is there.

 

agreed, the wiring harness was a pit for me while doing the rebuild. 2 days seems about right and thats with alteast 2 people working at the same time.

 

Mike,

I'd just run on your street tires. There are many classes of cars and serious competitors are all on race tires. They have picked a car that is competitive in its class. The FD is no longer the car to have in super stock, the C-5's kill it. That's probably payback for the 5 or 6 years it was kicking C-4 tail. A lot of the guys you'll see there run events somewhere every week and go to the nationals in Kansas each year.

There are stock, prepared and modified classes. Street tire cars are all in 1 class together, but the index (handicap) for each car is determined by the type of car and what mods have been done. It's best to learn car control on street tires and the least expensive class to run. Since a lot of people in street tire have mods they will be penalized by having a lower index #. It really doesn't matter what your index or times are, it's pretty much for fun until you get more into it and try to be competitive in a class. At that time you really need to know what you're doing.

Yea how bout the weekend of the 7th then, Dan can you make it ? I think it would be really nice to have you there to help out with the harness. Since I have no idea what to do either. And also it would be nice to have another fd there for reference if we need it.

 

Here's all the answers to where? when? and how? for this event....

Ya jake im pretty sure i can make it, ill let you know if anything changes. Also does anyone need a Stock FD radiator. let me know i have one laying around.

 

So it's on for next weekend then Jake? If I can get away from this damned base I'd like to come and give you guys a hand. This place just seems to keep coming up with reasons that I should have to work on the weekend. What a bunch of punkz!!

Some clarification on the event....

There's 4 official runs not 3...

If anyone is interested there's another race on Sunday. (usually running the opposite direction) On Sunday, street tire works 1st group, runs second. On both days you should be done by mid day.

Hopefully there will be fun runs both days....

 

weekend of the 7th should work fine for me, if Zach can get away from working i'm sure i can get a ride with him or vice versa.

 

I may not be able to go....my dad doesn't want me to auto cross my car...guess I'll just have to have all my fun on the street :P but really..he said we'd talk about it later after he said no

 

You don't have to race just come support the group dude!

 

Yup fella's its on for the 7th! You guys rock I really appreciate your support! I'll have mom make some more potato salad for ya

If anyone else would like to come it's an open house. this can be our in between mini-meet. And tell berry she can come as long as she doesn't punch me again, OUCH!

thanks!
