I'm So Close.

2003eclipse · 09-13-2004

Well I believe the car is damn close to being ready for Rock Falls this weekend. I just hope nothing breaks on the way down. Myself and Mr. Raced went out and did a high 2nd gear pull Ryan said he had it about 3/4 throtle and I was running 14 pounds when I looked over at the boost gauge. To much wheel spin and Torgue steer to pay atention to anything else. Its not all wheel drive but I definetly have something to do while I'm accelerating which is fun. Oh yeah brakes went out on that run too, that made the trip back a little more interesting slowing down for a curve after letting off in the top of third gear.

Thats fixed!!!
So hopefully when I get the Race juice in it and turn the boost up I will be able to stick with Ryan until he opens up his exhaust even more.

Well whose going to the track and wants to meet up, I'm going saturday and maybe sunday or vise versa. I'm so excited for my 14 seconds of wheel spin with my 3.6 60'.

So far the 1 1/2 G has been a fun project never worked on a DSM before this one and oh boy have I gotten and over load of info fast on the damn thing.

Thanks again to Mike Swanny and Alan for not reaching through the phone and punching me in the face. Thanks to everyone else that has helped especially Ryan for letting me use his garage and everything else.

I want to go on Saturday! I have a game to go to, its a two hour drive there and back and our game starts at 10 or 11. But I dont know, its tempting when all of you guys are going that Saturday. I might have to skip the game, since I've been moved down to JV! (Screw the coach). :3gears: Saturday.....Sunday.....Saturday......Sunday.....S aturday......Sunday!..... :headache: I have only a few days to make up my mind! Come on, encourage me to skip the game! :secret:

T- boo ? What what

You guys will get it when you see the car.

1slowdsm · 09-14-2004

So the T-boo! Is that car going to be there on Saturday? If so, then I'll probably have to go on that day to see it.

Okay, who's all going on Saturday and who's all going on Sunday. Its not as busy on Saturdays as it is on Sundays, is it? I wouldn't really know, I've only been there on one Saturday and one Sunday all summer.

I can't make it on Saturday but that's probably a good thing as I'll probably get all teary eyed seeing the Laser tearing it up. Ahhh, good times... sniff, sniff.

I'm in for some freeway pulls!!! I can't do shit on the track so I might as well make up for it on the street. we'll se if we can get up around 130 mph like brian and I did last time.

1slowdsm · 09-14-2004

It gets more and more tempting to go on Saturday. I hate it when I have to chose between two fun things. Why does everything have to be so hard! :headache: I want to see the highway pulls. :3gears:
I better start finding a group of friends to go down there with me. You guys meeting at Champs?....Mind if I come along? I dont quite know the way there yet and I doubt I'll find people to go with me to RF. Apparently, I dont have many friends who's raced at the tracks.

JustROLLIN · 09-14-2004

Anyone who wants to go is welcome. But, we do LEAVE champps at 7am sharp, so be there...

Pushit2.0 · 09-14-2004

I found an axel so I will be there saturday. I might hit the dyno one more time and see it 35psi makes more power.

1slowdsm · 09-14-2004

Hmm..Champs in Woodbury. Is that right off the highway? I've never been there, so I'll have to ask around and find directions there.

2003eclipse · 09-14-2004

Well the mad sceintist Mr. Mensa is stumped by the lights in the car so all I have is tail lights and brake lights no blinkers, dumb! I'm so damn nervous something is going to break. Or my starter brace will fall out ( its a block of wood holding the starter down) only thing I could find.I've lost two already. gotta get the mbc in dont truley know why i've been procrastinating. Who would be willing to be in front of me and then someone to follow me. It would be a good secruity blanket. for me with out the blinkers and few other things. yeah i'm up for a freeway pull just one or two though I dont have a speedo and i've only drove the car maybe a total of 5 miles or so dont know what will happen.
I'm scared
