I do want to try it, just don't think I'll be able to afford it. That's $35 plus at least $30 in gas. Mike

I swapped the slave cylinders out, and it still leaks from inside the tranny so something is still wrong. And it turns out the clutch starter switch is broken on the pedal too. So it's going to the tranny shop on Tuesday I just want it to work damnit. I need a car so looks like i'll have to pay argghh this is getting frustrating. I'll still be coming to the auto X tho, not running tho.

Oh dear god. I just wasted the past few weeks of datalogging, mapping, remapping, and changing parts. It turns out the auxiliary intake port sleeves got left in somehow in the installation, which is really just not a good thing. I was getting an AFR of 8.5:1 on one rotor but the other rotor would be on the verge of detonation. Then the next day the car would do the exact opposite. Words cannot explain what an idiot I feel like right now. I got the auxiliary sleeves out today and got the car to idle and start up, but that's it. I'm definitely out for tomorrow. I should be able to finish (completely!!!) retuning the ECU tomorrow. Oh my GOD, give me a gun to kill myself now. I seriously feel like I don't deserve that car anymore. No car should have to suffer through what my poor little FC has been through. EVER. That's seriously the worst mistake I've ever made on ANYTHING in my life. On the upside, the car is running smoother than it ever has, and once I get it running and on the road tomorrow, I have a feeling that it's going to move like it never has before. If anyone makes the commute for Sunday, you'll get to see me run, but I'd advise those interested in finally seeing my car completed just wait until the next meet.

Great meet. Congrats to Bob and John since they had the best times out of our crew. Kenji, I'm glad that you learned a lot out there. It looks like your times were getting better with each run. Keep practicing bro.

Also, I'll be posting up the pictures from the AutoX in my Ofoto.com folder. I'll post the link in the new thread once it is started. And if any of you want the pictures of your car then just let me know and I'll email them to you.

Ah, so what were the best times? Sorry I couldn't make it, couldn't really afford it at the moment. There is another one on May 28/29th, I'll be sure and save some spare $$ for that one if you guys want to plan another meet for then.

Mike
