Sorry I missed it, but glad I stayed home. I'm fighting off a cold; standing outside in that stuff all day would have done me in.

Nice pix. Looks like I need to buy some black clothes, heh.

Next time...

 

^^^ better start taking your 1-a-day

 

^ Nice seeing ya there Mel. =P

 

Oh, I do... but I spent last week hanging with a bunch of people from all over the country, which means this time of year at least a few will be spreading germs we of the West aren't prepared for. Occupational hazard.

 

maybe u got N1H1 lol

 

mdpalmer said you are running kind a lean! thats what you guys get for dissing us on Saturday for the 'car show' :p lmao

 

This was a fun meet and thanks to the organizers of it . The variety of vehicles that showed-up was awesome! There were lots of nice looking cars and everybody was cool! The pizza was yummy and the raffle drawing was fun!
It was a very nice turn-out considering it was raining and all. Bummer that the LA caravan (Wacky's and Savant's group) wasn't able to make it out- Get some wipers damn it! lol

I took a ****-load of pics., have yet to upload them, but for now here's a couple of vids:

Pix posted so far seem to indicate a serious shortage of first-gens...?

 

I was the only one there.

 

Maybe next time we can double the turnout, then!

 

You can see my car in this picture

 

Sure enough; far right, next to the cattle-crowded easy-up!

 

mdpalmer is kinda jumping to conclusions... ha ha ok seriously now, by looking at the EGT's I can tell that my foot is light on the gas pedal at the time I took the pic. If I was runing lean my EGTs would be higher. Under constant cruise my AFR at around 13.6-13.8, under WOT I see 10.9-11.2. Foot completely off the gas the gauge goes to lean.

Gene and I go where the pizza is at... Besides my car needed a good acid rain wash



Say hi to mike for me

 

Where's your probe for the EGT gauge Elliott? Mine is in the dp about 6 inches downstream from the o2 sensor. We should compare egt temps as well. BTW, I hit 20C air temp on the way down. You were around the same temp right?

 

I need an egt gauge. My a/f run at 14.7-16.0 when cruising for gas mileage but it goes rich as soon as I give it more gas.

 

mine is right next to the O2 sensor. At cruise I see egts in the mid 650-700C. At wot my egts drop a little lower. On decel my temps drop to a little more. What are you seeing?

On the way down I saw 18C intake temps.

 

Damn, you were 2 degrees cooler than me! I really need to duct this vmount to get the full efficiency of it. I wasn't really paying attention to the egt temps, I'll keep an eye out next time.

 

So you're not ducted and you are still seeing those temps? NOOIIICE!!! Vmount for the win for sure... I gotta get me one of those.

Meiogirl,

Actually Gene and I discussed going to both events but got lazy at the end. Next time for sure


so what MPG do you average? I average 24-25 on the highway, on the street oh forget it...

 

I do all street driving and I see 15-16 mpg which only ok, but I get throttle happy sometimes. Also I take my car on spirited cruises where I am on boost most of the time and some how I still get about 14-15 mpg.

I will post my pics eventually. Just been to lazy

 

Once Mike gets his car running we should come down there, you guys have all the empty roads. I miss that old hwy 8 (94??) road.

 

Yeah come on down!!! maybe in time for one of the SD cruises?
