Cool, good luck out there man!

A good coat of wax should net you a tenth due to aerodynamics.

Sand off paint, weight reduction.

Lol, well it will be for sale shortly after PG.
My truck just broke a brake line in the solid line part in the frame.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

I used to think that was a big deal until a friend did new hard lines in the old diesel van in no time at all (they ALL rusted out). If you want his contact info, I'm sure he can do it for you.

Splice in and bypass rusty section. Backyard mechanic 101.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Yeah you need a better excuse to sell than that

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Lol. I'm just tired of shit breaking all the time.
Anyway, I'll get to spend a day running a new line on that POS.

Car is packed and ready to go.
Going to pick up a manual boost controller from Carl on my way up to PG.

Good day at the track since I was able to drive home, but not without adventures!

Got close to BIR tried to go around some traffic and the car felt down on power big time, did another pull and it was lean by almost 2 points. I thought it was the pump dying, but it turned out to be the fuel filter.

That's my own fault because I have always changed them once I take the car out of storage and this year I didn't. Lesson learned.

Car went 11.4, 11.4, 11.4, 11.4, 11.38, 11.4, crap run my shift box ate it's face for a round, 11.4.

So then I called it a night every single trap speed was 119mph.

Figured out launching at about 15-17psi is the best I ran all 1.6x 60Ft times.

For some reason I really enjoyed driving the car today and fell in love with it again, seeing tachyon's car made me realize how good looking I think these cars are.

I'm going to be concentrating on cleaning up the paint as best as I can. I actually don't know if I have put wax on this car since owning it, but I will try to soon.

Time for some bracket racing.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

^ This. Talk about consistency. Nice work man.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Thanks guys cruising up there with tachyon really re-inspired my love for the 1GA body style and the lack of a truly clean one did too.
His car looks amazing rolling down the freeway.
I'm gonna get working on the missing body pieces asap and get to clay barring it and hopefully buffing it soon.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Thanks for the kind word, Aaron! Your car looked really good out there! Sorry we did not hang out much Saturday.. I replaced the fuel filter and got a new FPR from a buddy, but my car was still going lean after 10 PSI. :toiletp:

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Yeah, seeing other 1g's always inspires me too. Not many around anymore, I had the only DSM I saw at C&C yesterday.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

I stopped over to chat, but you were all ready gone. The car looked great out there, nothings like a nice1g. Crazy how consistent you are with it too.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Aaron good job this weekend, nice seeing u and glad your car worked out in the end for ya.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Sorry I missed you. Yeah I'm glad that I have the car consistent I've basically spend this whole year doing that.

I was so inspired by Tachyon I broke out the buffer on the car a little and now I have some reflection in the paint. It's really weird since the car basically looks like it has matte white paint.

Thanks, it was good to see you again too, shame you guys aren't closer.
I really wish we had a track closer to the cities.
Although i did see that BIR has a bracket racing class.....

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Good hanging out with ya on Saturday for a bit, glad it was just the fuel filter and not the pump. Crazy how clogged it sounded.

Sucks you had to work on Sunday and couldn't get in on the eliminations, you would've had it.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Never did get to meet up with you, but I was able to watch a couple of your runs. Good times

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
 

Sounds like you had some great runs as usuall for this year. Sorry I didn't get to go to pg and see you rip, I'm also bummed I didn't get to run my car.
