Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

I know everyone's still pissed about the proving grounds. But I cant afford to drive to Iowa right now. Im planning on going to the fun day on the 22nd. We should get a good group together for this event.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

My birthday is the day before. If I get this revving issue sorted out with my car, i'd love to go.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

I might, same deal with not having the $$ for Iowa, but I have to tighten the FUCKING GOD DAMN flywheel bolts again!! I am so sick of pulling trannies in the damn thing every 150 miles.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Jet, why don't you just tack weld the fuckers?

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Sweet!! If Swifty Jet and I all show up and run the times our cars are capable of mabey rock falls will see what DSM are really about.

Jet are you using the shorter 7bolt or Supra/ARP flywheel bolts bolts? I know the stock DSM's are to long fot the twin disks. Ive heard its a good idea to run the auto flywheel spacer with the twindisks too

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

jet? You re-using those? I'm telling ya man, you need help with that fricken car!

-A. Swift

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Drill the bolts and safety wire the bitches :)

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

I am down as long as i can get the day off.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Yea brownman! I wanna see you run again! shoot for 11's? Get that setup going man!

-A. Swift

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

11s might be a bit steep, but i will see and try, i think low 12s for sure.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

:lol: So ghetto it just might work!!! ;) I might be able to go. I gotta get a few things inline not car related.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Where have you seen anything about that? On NABR they are recommending using the auto spacer and LONGER auto bolts, but the head has to be shaved down. That is probably what I am going to be trying this time.

Anyone work at a machine shop with a surface grinder or kinow of someone that does? I could do it myself, but I don't have access to one.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

I don't remember what I did with mine, but I haven't had any problems, at least not with the clutch or flywheel bolts. Which flywheel do you have?

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

I used an ARP head bolt washer under the head of each of my flywheel bolts with my twin disc. It didn't come lose even after reving to 11,800, but I never put too many miles on the car, just some trips to Midway and 700whp fun around Elite and on 94.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Aluminum and steel do not weld together well. We had to shave some bolt heads down on a SRT I just used the lathe. I would just take a thin metal ring that would sit just inside or outside of the bolt head and weld all 6 bolts to it.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Actually the twin disks aren't aluminum flywheels. I have the Devo one Steve, so it should be a PTT flywheel. I was thinking the same thing John, if they loosen up one more time I will tack weld the bolts to the spacer from the auto, then I can grind the tacks off and not damage the flywheel itself.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

are there requirements for going to this? helmets etc?

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

you'll need a Helmet (snel 2000 or better) they'll check your car. Usually just check that the battery is secured and thet you have a coolent overflow.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

If I get tires before then I'll tag along but no racing, haven't been to a track once this year.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Welcome to the club! It isn't looking good for me either. I think the car's aborted until next year, once the SMIM, fuel system etc goes in.

-A. Swift

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

well i am going, i just need an overflow and i am gonna order that monday at the latest.
also i am quitting my job, soon slave labor is something Big brown does not stand for.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Dude, you were my tire hookup though, RAHHH!!! This sounds kinda fun though. I'd need to find a helmet if I went. Is there still some sorta rule about not being allowed to have any sort of electronics (IE laptop) while you run, making it impossible to log?

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

I have never had an issue with having the laptop in the passenger's seat.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Have you gone this year though? I thought it was something new they were bringing up this year.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

I've seen a few pics of cars having a shelf under the pass seat with a slide bar or something that locks in the laptop. Works pretty slick and seems like it would be easy enough to make.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

you can use my helmet, my two brothers still work there, and chris is paid hourly which is better than 8.50/hr with a minimum 55 hours a week.

computer stuff they don't care unless its a special race, just turn on the log before you go thru the water box and you will be fine.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Shit, no water box for me. You working tomorrow? I'll finish powdering your shit tomorrow. And if you come get it, bring your helmet so I can try it on for fit.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

word son^. gimme a call.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

My tires will be here next week so I'll be following up the rear in the Evo.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Wow, that's the most comprehensible drunk post I've ever done! Man I have a headache.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

haha! me too man. I don't think i've ever seen that much skin of yours before!

-A. Swift

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

I have a spacer here that I use to dig threw my bolt tray, let me know if you need it.

~John

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

huh?

-A. Swift

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

I'm about 90% mine is, I'll have to look at the pictures.

Was your crank turned by chance?

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Nope, stock crank. I don't there is a surface plate bolted on like a fidanza, is there? I am almost positive it is chromoly. Here is a pic and I don't see anything bolted on.

No one else found this statment awkward? :sex020:

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

I was showing my bewbs to a girl in a 2g (and I mooned her), and Swifty decided he wanted to peek over and see too. Not my fault.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Jet do you have the Alignment pin in the end of the crank? most 2.4 cranks came out of auto car without the alignment pin. Just another thought.

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

I couldn't help but notice brandon. You are the whitest person I know. Get some sun man! Even Emily isn't that white!

-A. Swift

Re: Rock Falls Sat. Sept 22
 

Little to much info here. I will never look at Brandon the same way again. Dam you Swifty dam you!
