links no workie

Can't see. Rob you get your coin yet?

Dont understand why I'm having so much trouble, except the karma in that everything I do with this car gives me trouble.

Yeah John, I got the coin 2 days ago, (sorry about the silence, I've been busy in my own little world). Thank You very much, the coin looks cool. You should have mail soon.

I won't comment on the dull alternator or anything ( ), but pardon my ignorance- what's that bag like thing around the 'charger? That doesn't tickle my fancy at all! :p Other than that, I like the setup man!

Keeps it from heat soakin. Rob. How's it like now changing plugs?.
I bet that thing haul azz. You get it to a dyno yet? Looks good. I'll stay away from you if I ever see you on the road.

Glad ya got the coin too. You are welcome.

Damn, I should have known that. Any new times yet?

Plug access really doesnt change. You have to get 1 and 3 from the bottom now, but I usually did 5 and 7 from the bottom anyway, so no biggie. Never fun to do. All the crap, probably 70% of the crap is in the front left corner.

I'm still playing with the tune, right now I have 0 and I mean 0 KR w/91 octane (knock on wood). I have several datamaster logs to just get comfortable with how the car is acting. I went out and played quite a bit the other day practicing launching. When I got home I saw that instead of 5 lugs sticking out of the right rear I had 4!, so needless to say I have a few more things to address before playing hard.

Man that sounds wicked. You gotta post a clip when it's all said and done! I want to hear that thing. That's good news too bout the plugs maybe my next project once this one has lived it's life I'll build a SC as well. Still want the turbo instead but then I'd have to cough up the FLP's and they're just too pretty to give up.

newest edition, I bought a Jaz 3 gal fuel cell, gonna mount it in the back and run some hoses to it with another pump. The stock aftercooler tank is about a pint, and the ice box costs way to much.

I should be able to keep my charge temps way down for a long time with 5 gals of ice water. (I figure between the 2 radiators and hose runs there is another 2 gals there)

Rob? What size TB you running? In the pic that looks like a stk unit. Thought you had a 57mm AS&M on there. I'm asking because if you did change it out I wanted to confirm the TB plate w/ the six screws. Recently had a custom on made by MBA but the hole don't align. The one in your pic w/ the middle screws are closer to the left screws than dead center.

Man you are goin all out w/ that thing aren't you?!


Just wondering, thanks.

Yeah, thats a stock one, but I did have a 52mm BBK. I compared them, and they have the same bolt pattern, even put the one that came with the bbk on the stock one. They are the same.

Eventually I will end up with a ASM (damn why do they cost so much ) I just dont know how much of a TB I will need.

Well I can tell you this for certain. The 58 bolt pattern is different so you may want to sell your plate to someone else if you go that large! Don't ask why but it is different.
