Diary of a Madman; TitaniumTT's see you @ DGRRXI RE-REbuild

[TitaniumTT]

Not entirely. The DBW system needs feedback. It can't assume that it knows where the throttles at based on where the stepper motor SHOULD be. Think Prius runaways. So there is the stepper motor and then a seperate integrated TPS on most DBW systems.

The input is just a potentimeter though.

Once again MoTeC > Haltech :rofl: ;)

[WE3RX7]

Seriously? No storage bins and no rear seats... stocker steel wheels.... I'm intriguerd.


Yea... our cars are (were ?) the "SE" model, MC had an '86 Base. Base models were just that... basic. No sunroof, no storage bins, no ps, usually no a/c and steel 14" wheels (not the phone dials, but actual steelies). Its actually a pretty sought after body due to it being the lightest one over the SE and lack of sunroof.

[TitaniumTT]

Wierd shit man.... mine is the "SE" as well... I had the 14" phonedials, sunroof, and I got me some bins too..... wierd. Mine is also an '88, so it's not some super early production like it sounds like you two got. Badass though... rotary history right there

[2gslse]

Sometimes I wish I hadn't sold it since it was light it would have made a great car to smash cones with or a real good car to hotrod the body was straight as an arrow and only needed paint it was fading artic silver (yea yea... I know just like you and bill) damn ... thinking about it that was 13 years ago. Damn I'm getting old.

Brian,
I would have to say your the coolest person I have not had the chance to meet! See over here in VA I catch the slack from Bill and his 10 year project and MC with his crazy ass toys..but you my friend make me feel :party: when you and MC give him a hell!! I hope that I will get to see your sweet ass FC in person soon..

You only need an input if you want to run it in a closed loop function. You could easily setup similarly to how the stock stepper motors worked (did a full sweep to minimum on start up). So unless someone stuck something in there to keep it from hitting minimum first it should be fine.

As it stands right now; the stepper motor control of the Haltech can run Oil Pumps (Which can also be used for intake manifold runner length alteration), and ICV's.

From what I understand from the MoTeC notes and data sheets, the Renni OMP is a non feedback OMP and requires a different ECU option. Anything 13B uses the feedback type OMP and that's a basic stepper motor option. The 13B electric OMP is a feedback type stepper, that's how, from what I understand, all the DBW's work, you need redundacy damnit

For the OMP you do need an input signal for position to have it work, however on the Haltech when running an ICV, it does not require the use of another input (as other sensors dictate the need and what not of the valve)--thus it stands to reason that if you can find a means of using the stepper motor without the extra need of an input you could mimic the same stepper motor controls with a predetermined startup routine.

your thread has so much writing.... i wish there were more pictures =(

[helghast7]

Sexy..... I need my Stage 3's here, noaw damnit!!!!

well you will definetly be done before me when it comes to that type of upgrade, i keep getting hit with these large bills, i need to get more stabilized again before i can really start buying stuff, i have a feeling my diff is going to sit at daves at least a month before i can go get it

as for the switches, thats next on my todo list, first i need to finish buttoning up this bike so i can deliver it already, once thats done im gonna dive into the basement and locate them and bring the cup holder idea for you at the same time

btw, i just remembered, whats a good company to get a resonator from because i blew out the one we welded in, so that rules out magnaflow and obx, i was thinking borla but there just so pricey im not sure its worth it

i was also thinking about a straight pipe because i dont care how loud the car is, as long as it doesnt resonate inside...bbbbuuuutttt rotaries ive heard without some sort of resonator tend to have a very metallic hollow twang to them, whereas im more fond of my deeper roar...idk

[RX SE7EN]

^ you absolutely want some sort of resonator. Don't get me wrong, I loooovve me the sound of a rotary, they really rev my engine (shameless anchorman plug haha). But with a 3" exhaust, no cat, and just a straight through muffler at the end, they are aweful sounding on the street, highway trips become painful, and its annoying around town. I'd get a nice long resonator, even some of the higher end cherry bomb, 3" by 18" will give it a nice sound. The standard glasspack won't last long, but if you weld on vbands, making it easy to change out, they are cheap enough to replace. You can get higher end ones that won't burn up so quickly as well.

Are you could spend more money and get a couple generic 3" HFC's welded in series, that will quiet it down without causing much restriction as well.

i agree with you to an extent, my biggest problem at the moment is that when you blow out a resonator it has a tendency to resonate outwards instead if inwards so the massive amount of droning that occurs in the cabin is almost ear splitting, whereas a straight through would be crazy loud outside, but close the windows and all is well

my personal preference to a resonator is the deeper tone it provides, our biggest trouble is we(turbo) create so much heat and pressure among other things that the average resonator cant withstand it for long..which blows

i had considered getting a cherry bomb, i may just try and find something similar to an OE muffler where the baffles are all metal and does not use glasspacks, nothing to deteriorate

i do like the vband idea, almost like a test pipe lol, and the obx unit i have was cheap enough that i could do that

on a minor side note..surprisingly my obx universal unit i bought off of ebay lasted much longer then the magnablow i bought, i feel that had this been the average car i would have never came across an issue again...makes me wonder why they have such a bad rep

heck brian broke his pipe cutters on it :lol:

[RX SE7EN]

I'm positive you'll still have drone even with a straight pipe.

I know its a different engine and all, but I had test pipes (non resonated pipes that replace stock Cats) and outside the car it was like you say, loud, super raspy. And inside the car, awful drone from 2k-5k rpm.

My car has a borla resonator, (what PFS used to use on all their builds), and its been on there since 2004, still works fine today.

[RETed]

Doesn't that get kinda dangerous?

I haven't researched this in detail, so there are a few assumptions...

I know it's a 4-position valve, so it's a 4-pole stepper motor.
Does it have limiters on min (1) and max (4)?
If it has limiters, then it's a little bit safer...
If it doesn't, then you can easily jump from min to max with one errant signal.

There has to be a reason why Mazda went with a feedback signal system.

You would think that the OMP system is important enough to have this feedback system functional.
It does throw a nasty error (which goes into limp-home mode) when triggered.

Yup yup, been there.... almost getting there now. What I do is keep my whore money seperate for my toys, salary pays the bills and doing it that way, I never seem to go backwards. I moved $1500 last night to cover the check for the BNR's, so no I need to go into the safe, get the cash, and deposit it back into savings. I may float a month or two becuase a few small things popped up, but the larger stuff was budgeted through my whore money.

Cool thanks man. I'm leaving for CA soon, as in the next few days, soooooo are you planning on swinging down this way?

btw, i just remembered, whats a good company to get a resonator from because i blew out the one we welded in, so that rules out magnaflow and obx, i was thinking borla but there just so pricey im not sure its worth it

Magnaflow! Been using nothing but magnaflow on my car for 3 years and still sounds great. I hate Borla, they can blow me. I've never had anything Borla fit right, or last. Hell, even on my Jeeps I went with the Borla becuase it was a million mile warranty, and both Borla systems that I put on the car rotted out and broke. I can't decide if I want to swap out the cans for new FREE ones..... (becuase they are actually stepping up, at least they said they would) or spend the coin on 2 V-band sets and a Magnaflow can.

You are so right about needing SOMETHING to quite it down. Turbo's work as a decent muffler... but I can tell you with my Magnaflow midpipe/splitter and two smaller magnaflow cans, the car is quite enough on the highway to have a conversation..... with the windows/sunroof closed which is the opposite of how I roll..... so there's usually no conversations except the occasional...HOLD ON!!!! It'll be interesting having Glenn in the car for 14 hrs rolling down to Deals.... By the way, Collin Dave and Benny.... keep an eye out for my Caravan Thread to pop up in the DGRR section. We're hammering out some details right now but it'll be a Thursday morning caravan down which you may want to get in on.

Yeah, Magnaflow

i do like the vband idea, almost like a test pipe lol, and the obx unit i have was cheap enough that i could do that

V-bands are awesome. With a 7/16 and a 12mm racheting wrench, I can drop the entire exhaust (minus the DP) in 5 minutes..... literally.

on a minor side note..surprisingly my obx universal unit i bought off of ebay lasted much longer then the magnablow i bought, i feel that had this been the average car i would have never came across an issue again...makes me wonder why they have such a bad rep

I don't understand what happened to your magnaflow.... there's no reason for that thing to not last long especially if it was where we put that obx thing. Did you have a sticking injector? running stupid rich? I/m thinking some fuel pooled there and blew the thing out where the obx was put on a tuned car and lasted much longer by default. I've got 15k on my magnaflows and they sound great, so I think the internals are in great shape, but they didn't handle the salt on the rd trip very well. That's my only gripe about them, they need to use a better quality stainless.

heck brian broke his pipe cutters on it :lol:

Yeah, I think Alex had something to do with that.... guy was attempting to build his exhaust at the same time and I think he trashed them on his before we got to yours. When he got them, they cut through SS like butter, I did the SS exhaust on the Landi a few weekds before and they were just ripping through the 2.5" SS exhaust bends with ease. When I got them back to do yours, they had a hard time cutting through the chrome lining...

I'm positive you'll still have drone even with a straight pipe.

I know its a different engine and all, but I had test pipes (non resonated pipes that replace stock Cats) and outside the car it was like you say, loud, super raspy. And inside the car, awful drone from 2k-5k rpm.

Sound familiar?

My car has a borla resonator, (what PFS used to use on all their builds), and its been on there since 2004, still works fine today.

That surprises me. I didn't like the supports on the 3 complete Borla systems that I bought, did PFS build that themselves using a generic Borla can? My MoTeC buddy up in Mystic bought a Borla system for his Vette, he said the fitment was so abysmal that he paid the shipping out of pocket to return it and buy a magnaflow system that apparently fit like a condom.

[TitaniumTT]

-Ted


From my understanding, that's EXACTELY why the DBW systems have the safety of a redundant TPS in there... to prohibit thing like that from happening.

Also, from my understanding the OMP on the Renni doesn't have a feedback, while the S5+ units do, again, for that reason of it being rather important. Not quite sure why Mazda changed it for the Renni, but I'm sure they have some type of safety involved with it... I agree with ya, it would be foolish not to,

[RX SE7EN]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think PFS used to use a generic borla resonator in the midpipe (like mine is) when they did major upgrades (so supports wouldn't be a problem in this case). Not 100% sure though, I guess it could have been a customer request back when my car was built the first time by the previous owner. I've seen the borla on a couple other PFS cars, not sure if they still do it if they ever did.

My exhaust system is: 3" greddy T78 kit downpipe, midpipe with borla resonator (assuming a PFS standard), and HKS system back from there. I still wish it was a little more toned down. I've been thinking about trying to squeeze the largest magnaflow muffler that will fit in where the Borla is.

[TitaniumTT]

The other option is to get the cheapest 3" exhaust that you can find (just for the piping being already mandrel bent and fit) and we'll cut out the muffler and add the biggest Magnaflow muffler that we can find. I'm up for that

[vex]

Only if you're too much of a pussy to go full throttle everywhere. :lol: :rofl: :lol: :rofl::o16:;):gnorsi:

[helghast7]

Well I guess I can try another magnaflow can to replace the obx one, worst case I blow it out again and then I put a horse head in your bed :lol:

[TitaniumTT]

Listen... I agree... on the RX8 they could've done without the feedback portion, but this isn't some pussy little 182rwhp car... ok?? :rofl: We were sitting @ 223% of that.... makes cruising through downtown at full throttle a little sketchy... this also isn't some 6port turbo that can only handle like 3 seconds of full throttle before it invents, implements, and engages it's own engine brake :smilielol5:

[TitaniumTT]

Well I guess I can try another magnaflow can to replace the obx one, worst case I blow it out again and then I put a horse head in your bed :lol:

I like Magnaflow. I've never had a problem with them. My only grip, like I said, is I wish they'd use a better quality stainless, that's all.

My dogs will eat that horse head and nibble on your legs as desert before you get inside ;)

[tweiss3]

My magnaflow stainless downpipe discolored quickly, which makes me kinda not happy. Also, i've managed to burn up copper gaskets on the exaust flanges, kinda thinking of going vband to eliminate leaks.

So I figured I'd give the last official update for the next 12 days anywho as I am now officailly in CA.... weeee!!!!! and all you CA's can suck it, I know it, you know it, you all lie about your weather. Everytime I come here it's cold and rainy..... I should've stayed east.... at least there we get snow.

So anywho... here was the progress over the weekend. I got the new overflow for the fuel cell built and installed.. here it be. This should prohibit the fuel in the cell from expanding and puking out the vent in the fill recess and stripping the paint.... that would be bad... mmmmkay

http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9991&stc=1&d=1300738822

Also finally got the interior back together with this little gem. I installed a 12V power outlet in the glovebox becuase the one on the dash was sketchy at best.... I also went out and bought the 12V adapter for the laptop as well.... so I eliminated the need for an inverter and opened myself up to unlimited tuning in the car..... SCORE!!!!

http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9992&stc=1&d=1300738822

Next was addressing the gaskets in the fuel cell. The ethanol resistant Buna-n sheet gasket that I bought lasted 6 months before the whole thing rotted away, chunck broke off, fuel started spilling out when she was parked with a high ass and a full tank, and of course my fuel filter clogged..... AGAIN.....
When I opened up the tank, I found some discolored and semi-clogged fuel socks. Not wanting to wait alll that long for replacements, i had my guys at Levine cross check some denso numbers and got two new socks... woooot!

So now the cell is installed, leak tested, new filters all around, and just generally ready to kick some ass!

I thought about a few things like that, but honestly, there's plenty of room to get an 11/16" and a 3/4" wrench up there to loosen them.

Also on the list of upgraded goodies this winter are new brakes, at all four corners, and a new master and adjustable prop valve and splitter. The problem with the Wilwood masters is that the bolt patern don't line up worth a damn. At least it's off by an evn 90* making the mounting pretty easy, just need to do a little math.

Stock master vs Wilwood 1" bore Master

http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=9997&stc=1&d=1300742391

I found an old piece of some structural 3/8" steel that turned out to be the perfect size for the master and adj prop valve to mount to the existing brake booster valve. After all the math and double checking and then rechecking I drilled and tapped the appropriote holes. I obviously need some longer bolts

Here it sits before cutting... and as it will sit for the next 12 days :( I really wanted to get that bitch mounted and partially plumbed before I left, but whatever, not a HUGE deal by anymeans... didn't get the engine pulled either, that pissed me off though.

And here's an oh shit picture. Noticed this when I was mocking up some more things to weld onto my radiator :suspect: Here is the benefit to ducting. The only way for the blades to hit the cage like this is from air pushing them into it. If the fan was on, the blades would be pulled into the core, not the other way around..... I wonder if blasting across the desert @ 130mph had something to do with this?

No matter, I need to build a new shround and use 8" fans x2 becuase of the belly pan I plan on building. So this will go on the ever expanding wall of fame, wall of shame, it dun blowed up shelf...

AAAAANNNNNDDDDD just for Vex. I actually have the wheel here with me in case we need to grab a few more measurements. The key measurement though is the ID. I mic'ed the hub up to 3.25" So whatever you feel is adequate clearance to keep the bitch centered, and keep it as strong as possible. 3.26" maybe? 3.255"?

Crap, sorry.... I didn't have access to a comp until this morning, everything else has been via phone and that was a long PM to write out on a small ass keyboard.... expect a call in a bit

[vex]

Need to know the diameter of the 3 bolt holes. Does not look like the quoted 95mm. Is it on the same 114.3mm as the lugs?

[tweiss3]

Lookin good TTT

Check your email!

He's out for work and a bit spotty on the forum til he gets back from "paradise", lol.

Must drive to CT and molest unprotected car :)

[TitaniumTT]

Car is still protected, left dogs at home :suspect:

But if are going to go molest her, can you rape the engine out and clean the bay for me so I can do some re-spraying when I get back so I can get the engine in with all the new goodies installed? BNR's, new super awesome timing setup, new ceramic and powder coated goodies... etc etc etc.

Now that hommie hooked me up with a wireless inet connection, I can at least check up on some stuff from time to time which is cool, cuz phone typing out long replies/PM's, multi-quoting ain't all it's cracked up to be.

[vex]

Check your email!

I quoted my quote; so you can check your mail while you check your mail.

[Force13b]

I thought about a few things like that, but honestly, there's plenty of room to get an 11/16" and a 3/4" wrench up there to loosen them.

You should make everything on your car quick disconnect. As often as you take it down to nothing might as well save the time :lol:

[TitaniumTT]

:smilielol5: Touche my friend, touche.... but after this time I'm never taking it down to nothing again..... except next winter when I start playing with single turbos.... and maybe the winter after that when I repaint the whole car... unless I get brave and do all that next year.

[j9fd3s]

From my understanding, that's EXACTELY why the DBW systems have the safety of a redundant TPS in there... to prohibit thing like that from happening.

Also, from my understanding the OMP on the Renni doesn't have a feedback, while the S5+ units do, again, for that reason of it being rather important. Not quite sure why Mazda changed it for the Renni, but I'm sure they have some type of safety involved with it... I agree with ya, it would be foolish not to,

the Rx8 MOP is explained in the service highlights book. off the top every couple of engine starts the ecu puts the pump thru its range, so it isn't checked in real time like the 89-2003 pumps.

we set my haltech to run the mop (it was a 20B), the haltech can RUN a stepper motor, but the position sensor is a problem, because its monitored somewhere else, and you can't do anything EXCEPT log it. so if the MOP took a crap, there is no limp home, no CEL....

Holy shit Dave! Yeah, you alright?

No worries on the switch, we'll get togwther at some point. I may be heading back 2 days early so we'll see what happens and figure it out.

And yeah Colin, I know, I gotta get cranking on my FD.... hell I gotta get the 'vert done first and before that the landi and the 7 need to be finished on the same day and that day needs to be 4/15!!

[helghast7]

Yea I'm alright, just some minor road burns on my left arm were my crappy jacket burned through and a bruised left hip and a bruised ego lol

Was leaving the girl I'm datings appt, somewhat late on Saturday, made a right at the stop sign and the rear whipped to the left, tried to save it but she swung all the way right and went down

Was at slow speeds since I was just pulling out, say 10mph max, I slid like 4 feet and the bike went 10, funny I don't actually remember coming off the bike, I just remember it goin right and then sliding and watching my bike slide away from me

Basicly it boiled down to cold tires cold ground and letting out of the clutch slightly too fast for the temperature

Sucks but it coulda been worse, she's fully rideable once I get the left mirror, she just has some battle scars now

Good thing is bikes are so cheap in general I can get all the left fairings for about 150 already painted

[Fritz Flynn]

I sold you an S5 bumper? I don't think so. I've never sold an FC part of any sort.

Please correct/fix your comments.

THANKS!




So I figured I'd finish the updates that I started. Got nothing done on the FC yesterday, yesterday was a landi day. Got the bulkhead back in, windshield in, and the harness laid out. It actually looks like a truck again and not the munster mobile tha it's been stuck as for the last 3 weeks:willy_nilly:

So for anyone that saw the FC on the Epic Road Adventure... they knew she was FILTHY..... I didn't know how filthy untill I started working on the rear. A few years back I bought an S5 rear bumper from Fritz Flynn who claimed it was in perfect condition, when it arrived both of the exhaust cutouts were burned... badly :banghead: So I spoke with my body guy and he kinda laughed at the thought of repairing burnt and melted plastic. I thought I'd give it a try. It lasted a year before it fell off. Oh well. On the list was replace the bumper, or go for the carbon Fibre exhaust guards to cover up the nastiness. Chibikougan gave me one HELL of a deal on a set of gaurds so I picked them up.

Here's what I started with..... not bad right?


Yeah well....... look at it from a different angle :willy_nilly:


I spent quite a long time washing, then compounding, then glazinging and finally waxing the rear bumper. I was pretty surprised to tell the truth, it came right back to life!


But you can see better what I'm talking about regarding the melting. Fritz Flynn.... bad seller!


Then I decided to move onto a few other parts.... namely everthing in the rear of the girl was taken apart and cleaned entirely... check out the film on the tails!

Two decent pics showing just how awefull the buildup was.... nasty

Now that's an ass! Spent quite a long time fiddling with the bumper trying to get it straight.... that's much better than it was. The Carbon Exhaust guards fit great.... next is to poish up the tips again and then we're done on this end.

Was that joke a little too long? Sorry LOL.

Because your a power tripping fuckwit! Seriously its the fucking lounge people come here for a laugh. You call the other mods lazy for not checking every post, it's because they aren't retards who feel the need to ban people for pointless reasons. But I suppose if I had nothing better to do then sit home and pull my dick over how tough I am as a moderator I'd do the same thing.

I could send you the plans ;). The tools you'd need would be a plasma cutter (or ban saw, or jig saw, or hack), hole saw (for the fuel gauge), 16mm drill bit, 1/8 in drill bit, and a 1/4 in drill bit; also some files, and an aluminum bit for a die grinder.

Mar3 (oops, I mentioned his name again) doesn't have to do a search for his name, he apparently has minions (at least one anyway) on this forum to search for him. Maybe he is more powerful than I thought.

I appreciate the offer, but seeing as how this was a transaction that occured 5,6, or even 7 years ago at this point, I really don't see the need to rehash or go digging through god knows how much paperwork..... why would I remember your name in particular? I'm old, but not that old. What good will a phone call do? We'll just go back and forth with, well I remember, well I never remember. If I find the time in this lifetime or I deem it necessary to go through the 5" stack of paperwork that is the multiple file folders of receipts I will, or you can go to the powers that be on 7 club and get me unbanned and I'll see if I can find any of the pms that I had, for sale stuff I generally save, although I may have deleted them after I was told that I would have to pay shipping both ways on the bumper.

You've saved face for anyone reading this, I'm pretty sure of that.

I dun brokededed down and went ahead and ordered IDs, figured I might as well do everything "right" the first time.

I like the way you think, buy the FFE kit too :suspect:

[RX SE7EN]

Come back to NY and get this back on track please. sorry about the flights.

[TitaniumTT]

Not your fault man, no worries.... I just hope I make the next one. I am kinda pissed I stayed though, those extra few hrs cost me a weekend on the car.... oh well, I got see the all conquering MoTeC!

[hades]

so you are going to be ready in 26 days?:smilielol5:

[TitaniumTT]

I dunno... f*ckin' cali finally let me leave. She'll be done, if not I'll tow her down and wew can finish. Her down thewre :rofl:

[2gslse]

I dunno... She'll be done, if not I'll tow her down and wew can finish. Her down thewre :rofl:


I can see it now rent a semi/driver and be pulling an all-nighter and drive out Knight-rider style in the FC ... I demand video or it didn't happen

[TitaniumTT]

You must have seen that Titus eppisode too :rofl:

[fullfunctioneng]

oh well, I got see the all conquering MoTeC!

Did you get to meet Simon? Super cool/smart guy and rotary fanatic...

[TitaniumTT]

Sure did! Made sure he knew we were coming so he'd bring his REPU out.... have you seen that thing? WOW, she GLEAMS!!

[hades]

you done yet?:p

[TitaniumTT]

Actually I'm taking a break before I dig the engine hoist out of the basement. I'll be pulling the engine before dinner. Then I'll sit in the same seat I'm in right now, only facing the car shaking my head wonder how in the hell I'm going to get everything done in the next 17 days..... it's not looking good at all.... Brian needs parts in a bad way.... parts that I should've already had in my hands still haven't shipped...

[djmtsu]

Where's my coil bitch?

[TitaniumTT]

What's your addy slut! I peed on it for you should be nice and ripe. I'll get it out tomorrow... pm your addy... trailing or leading axe wound?

like exhaust sleeves?;)

I seriously hope you get your parts and get it done to drive down. I am deciding what rental company to use if that makes you feel better:biggrinjester:

[helghast7]

hey if you cant get her done u can borrow my FD to go to deals ;) but she needs turbos haha

[TitaniumTT]

like exhaust sleeves?;)

I seriously hope you get your parts and get it done to drive down. I am deciding what rental company to use if that makes you feel better:biggrinjester:

:lol: Nope, exhaust sleeves are still good.... I need turbo's, brakes, and a tranny and the tranny is going to need some work on the d/s so that needs to be done kinda ASAP but I can't get the car to Daves on the 16th without turbo's, brakes, etc etc.... Driving me insane.....

[TitaniumTT]

hey if you cant get her done u can borrow my FD to go to deals ;) but she needs turbos haha

:smilielol5: Thanks, but those are some of the parts that I need

[tweiss3]

Are we taking bets it won't be ready yet?

[2gslse]

You would get more done on the FC if you wasn't goofing off online. :) BACK TO WORK!!!!!!

[TitaniumTT]

Are we taking bets it won't be ready yet?

Is the bet she'll be driven down or just make it there? :Suspect: Either way I'll take that bet..... even if I have to make a trip to VA to pickup a 12a auto :smilielol5:

You would get more done on the FC if you wasn't goofing off online. :) BACK TO WORK!!!!!!

:rofl: I'd get more done on the FC if I had some DAMN PARTS!!!!! I am taking tomorrow off though to do all the paint prep and then some painting tomorrow night me thinks..... still need parts... le sigh

[vex]

You should just come down to my place and help me get my car wired up.

[WE3RX7]

You should just come down to my place and help me get my car wired up.

You should bring your car up to Culpeper and we can all wire it up!




B - still no parts from the other B yet?

[vex]

You should bring your car up to Culpeper and we can all wire it up!


For me to bring my car up would require me to have my car wired... Just sayin'.

unless you want to come tow it for me ;)

[TitaniumTT]

VA huh??? Bring lots of booze and throw in a welder so I can mount Bills engine the right way ;)

No parts from the other B yet, nope. I'm gonna call him on Wednesday and just tell him to send the rotors for the rear so I can get started on my wheel speed sensors. I'm still hopefull that everything will get done in time but we'll see. MC and prop valve is mounted though :)

[TitaniumTT]

For me to bring my car up would require me to have my car wired... Just sayin'.

AAA??? AAA membership is required with rotary ownership

If you say so... you have a little over 2 weeks left and time is ticking if you don't make it EVERYONE on RCC will be giving you crap for another year :D
You should put up a webcam in the shop so we can keep an eye on you whenever we want to log in, DGRR re-build brought to you by Redbull

I don't think the dragon will be much fun in the Jeep its a little bit high but you can pretend its a monster truck and crush a few mini's for us.

[TitaniumTT]

No need to pretend ;) Actually I was thinking about straigtening the dragon with the ole XJ, instead of making those 318 turns, just drive as a crow flies through the woods and shorten it to about 5 miles :smilielol5:

[2gslse]

No pics = didn't happen but I would like to see that

[TitaniumTT]

At this point I would like to just make it down there. You guys sill planning on being @ Daves on the 15th?

[2gslse]

I am still planning on it but I don't think Bill can make it. Do you have a fender roller for your car? I need to roll my fd's since I put the H&R springs on my SSR's rub under hard cornering so I need to do it before the dragon.

[WE3RX7]

Brian - drive your jeep down. I can fill it up with parts for the trip back :)

You know, you're not supposed to be doing any hard cornering on the dragon.... besides, it's not that hard to out run some whimpy little 184rwhp renni :biggrinjester:

Brian - drive your jeep down. I can fill it up with parts for the trip back :)

Jeep is going down, FC won't be done.... Although I did call the other B today and got a VM msg, "Hi, you've reached thus and so, today is 4/12 and we'll be out of the shop all day working on customers custom brake kits." So I left him a lovey dovey msg and I pray that it's my shit he's working on :party:

[WE3RX7]

Lol... I've yet to get him on the horn. Maybe this week I'll have some luck.

Regarding chasing wimpy renni's... I seem to recall a certain video with a certain FC trailing behind some renni powered rx8s and having a hard time sticking w/ them :)


Sorry your FC won't make it down though man. Next year will be a good year for FCs!

Yeah, it does suck pretty bad.... there's still hope, there's a slim chance... Before I bag it for the night I'll post some pics... I do have some updates.... the pic will tell all though :rofl:

[2gslse]

Damn... I cant believe you are giving up already last year you was trying all the way up till we checked into the cabin.

[tweiss3]

I see a pattern here, what can he come up with next year to not accomplish and not make DGRR in the FC?

[TitaniumTT]

Damn... I cant believe you are giving up already last year you was trying all the way up till we checked into the cabin.

Well, 2 differnces, last year I had all the parts I needed on hand to get the damn thing finished, this year I don't. Also, last year I worked 46 hrs straight and got beat by wiring up a relay wrong and just didn't have the energy to make the 14 hr drive. This year I don't want that to happen, I've got a friend flying in so I need to be somewhat coherant to drive my truck down there because he doesn't drive stick :rolleyes:

I see a pattern here, what can he come up with next year to not accomplish and not make DGRR in the FC?

Paint, the car's getting repainted next winter.

[tweiss3]

He can't drive stick and he's your friend? I have one friend that can't drive stick and I harass him in front of his wife about his lack of manhood for not being able to drive stick. She laughs and encourages it.

[speedjunkie]

I have a friend that can't drive stick. He will never live that down.

Why does your car need to be painted? Your paintjob looks better than mine did when it rolled out of the paint shop (it looked like crap then and it still looks like crap haha).

I can attest to not having parts though. That's a bummer and there's nothing you can do about it.

[TitaniumTT]

He can't drive stick and he's your friend? I have one friend that can't drive stick and I harass him in front of his wife about his lack of manhood for not being able to drive stick. She laughs and encourages it.

Oh I give him shit all the time! He can drive it in an emergency, but I have also enacted a new rule for all my vehicles, no one drives them but me, and maybe 3 other people that I can think of. EVERY SINGLE TIME I lend out my vehicles something comes back broken. My dumbass brother broke my swing out tire carrier, old man ripped the shitknob out (then had to call me to ask how to open the fucking fuel door :facepalm:) and a few weeks ago we took my truck to the airport and a friend drove it back. Now, picture this, I'm getting on a plane to fly to Cali to build a few cars, I know my 7 needs a ton of work when I get back, my mothers truck threw the code for the camshaft position sensor 2 days before I left and I get a call from my friend as I'm sitting down on the plane and the stewardesses are yelling at me to turn my phone off... he's in my truck... broken down on the side of the highway, in a tremendous amount of traffic.... apparently the truck just stalled out and wouldn't restart. I told him that the AAA card was in the glovebox if she didn't start, 100 mile towing for a 25 mile tow, leave me a msg as to what happened. I get off the plane in Cali and the msg says, "I dunno, it stalled out, I tried to start it twice and the 3rd time it caught and drive fine all the way home." She's been fine for a month now so I bust his ass about not being able to properly drive stick and flooding the girl out and just pissing her off in general becuase he can't work a clutch :smilielol5:

I have a friend that can't drive stick. He will never live that down.

As well he shouldn't!!!

Why does your car need to be painted? Your paintjob looks better than mine did when it rolled out of the paint shop (it looked like crap then and it still looks like crap haha).

Thanks man! There are a few dings around the car, the paint is chipping on the bottom of the wheel wells in the rear for shit being flung up, there is a chip in the door, and apparently I didn't seal the plastic behind the rear wheel well enough and it absorbed some water and is starting to bubble. Little shit but there's enough little shit to make it a big deal for me

I can attest to not having parts though. That's a bummer and there's nothing you can do about it.

Tell me about it! Fucking blows!!! I've been doing everything I can but there's on;y so much I can do from a phone ya know? If I was closer I'd just drive down there, get my shit and finish it myself with a few local machine shops and just pay out the ass for it to get the damn thing done. I will say though, Todd B hooked me up with a waterjetter and it LITERALY took us longer to get the files to open than it took them to cut 6 custom wheels and ship them :rofl: He got the files Thursday night around 4, and by Friday @ 11 o'clock they were cut and ready to ship! I wish everyting went that smoothly

[2gslse]

What does the car NEED to have done not what Brian WANTS to have done? she looked to be ready to go back in Jan at Dave's. I wouldn't worry about killer brakes this time since its so late it looks like the dragon will be too crowded for good runs and the stock brakes on our cars is still pretty good, traction control isn't a need to have item either so you have a fresh engine,working turbos, the stock trans if the 6 spd isn't ready and the fuel cell made it cross-country what else could you possibly need?

[mazpower]

This year I don't want that to happen, I've got a friend flying in so I need to be somewhat coherant to drive my truck down there because he doesn't drive stick :rolleyes:

How can someone you know not drive stick? You need to whip your friends into shape! Too bad I'm not on that side of the country, I'd be happy to help you drive down to Deals. Instead I'll be stuck in the shop as usual. :(

Seriously?? The thing was falling apart at Daves. THe turbo's were puked, coolant was leaking from one of the silicone hoses, and the miracle fuel cell lost a gasket and was seeping gas whenever I backed up a hill to park it with a full tank of gas. Oh.... and the brakes faded on me when I was on the Dragon on December.... december when it was like 30* out! And the traction control and the 6-spd, yeah, well those are just personal goals.... Been working on those things on and off for over a year now so I basically need/want those done this time around. FWIW my wheel speed triggers came in today so I can mount the fronts, but I need the rear brakes to get the rears done.

So now I've got a set of turbo's that (I PRAY) shipped out today and I'll have them on Friday, still have soooooooo much going on though and with hommie not being able to drive, I can't do the 46hr marathon that I did last year, and just to add insult to injury, it is most definately our busy season at work too so time off is few and far between sadly. I'll try, but expect to see me in a Jeep... too many parts that just aren't here yet and I don't want to do what I did last year which was get it running, then ignore all the other issues while I was "enjoying" the car.

[TitaniumTT]

How can someone you know not drive stick? You need to whip your friends into shape! Too bad I'm not on that side of the country, I'd be happy to help you drive down to Deals. Instead I'll be stuck in the shop as usual. :(

I know, he's an embarrasment. Hell, even my 5'3" 105lb ex drove stick.... granted it was a phondu but still:beatdeadhorse5:

Does suck about the Miata... that or the FD would've been money at Deals this year. The best would've been bringing the Miata up to CT and blowing the minds of a bunch of the miata guys at the auto-x :rofl: Stuck in the shop is a good thing though, means things are still busy!

[WE3RX7]

I see a pattern here, what can he come up with next year to not accomplish and not make DGRR in the FC?

I think he caught wind that my FC will be completed by next DGRR so he'll keep pushing it off until the FD is done and just bring that down so he doesn't go head to head against me for best FC :toetap05:

[WE3RX7]

I do find it funny though... one guy sends you more parts than you needed, and others dont send you the stuff you need at all. Ain't working on cars fun!? There... I used "ain't" so I guess I ain't a yankee no mo.

Yup, it used to be half the fun of cars in general... this year is just pissing me off though. I've got enough time to do everything that I need to do, but I don't have the parts. Usually it's the complete opposite.

You're still a yank......

[TitaniumTT]

If being a yankee was so great why don't you hear anyone talk about moving north when they retire?

Because they don't want to die sooner becuase of the taxes, blue states, and cold.

[RX SE7EN]

Hey dude, is there anyway you can find a set of stock twins for temporary use if the BNR's don't come in?

[TitaniumTT]

Oh yeah, I could definately dig up a set, but I just got off the phone with Bryan, they're slated to be here tomorrow. That's only about 20% of the problem though; still require Brakes, tranny, d/s, interior and front bumper........ and cupholders :rofl:

[tweiss3]

Whats wrong with the transmission? I can see the brakes

[TitaniumTT]

The selector grabbed two forks and missed the stopper so it over extended 2 hubs.... all the detent balls popped out, the springs are bent to shit, etc etc etc. It's an easy fix, but the tough part is trying to figure out how it happened. Once Dave figures that out, he can figure out how to make it NOT happen, then all will be well in the land of 6-spd goodness....

[vex]

What'd you use to wrap your harness? Raychem heat shrink? or something else?

[TitaniumTT]

Raychem DR-25 and some 4:1 heatshrink from the DR-25 to the connectors

Yeah, I don't know either. I beat the every living shit outta the trans ALLLLLL day long and it just loved it. Then driving like a little girl on the way home from the auto-x is where it happened. Oh well, what can ya do?

[TitaniumTT]

Sooooooo, I'm going to have a very interesting picture up on Saturday morning for all to see, then the fun will really begin. I'm giving myself 10:1 odds :rofl:

[RX SE7EN]

um... brakes? :) 5 to 1, give yourself a little credit haha.

[TitaniumTT]

:rofl: Nope, not brakes... turbo's should be here tomorrow though (HUGE HUGE THANKS the Bryan @ BNR for busting ass and taking a special trip for me) although I am hopefull that I'll have brakes in my hand in a week.

Actually..... when are you planning on swinging by this weekend? You might be able to see the madness first hand, then you might actually raise me to 20:1 ;) Saturday is going to be another 30 hr marathon and I think I'm going to say fuck the landi this weekend.

Thanks man, maybe next trip up. Like I was telling you on the phone 396 RWHP at 14 psi on an Apexi RX6 single is a great # especially with 35K on the clock. I will be looking into my wastegate soon though Dave said it may have a weak spring in the wastegate or its binding after it gets hot. this set-up will be killer in my FB with the 13B-RE.

You build it once, and then you find things to improve upon and then you fix those things. Sometimes you find your engine bay and engine so dirty that it requires you to pull said engine to clean everything. Sometimes you're just an overbearing OCD asshole, I submit myself as exibit 1 ;)

No worries man, those are some damn good numbers indeed. Are you taking that setup and dropping it in the FB? That would be soooooooooooo money. What wastegate are you running?

[TitaniumTT]

Soooooooooooooooo here's something interesting that happened today. First the good news...... my turbo's came in and they are AWESOME! I got to molest them for about 5 minutes until my buddy showed up in his POS daily bitch.... an '88 300SE Benz. This piece of poo has an oilpan that is not only cast AL, but it also hangs lower than the front bumper, and farther forward than the wheels :banghead: Sooooo today as he was pulling into a parking spot he went a little too far, cracked the curb, and now there is a 6"x1" HOLE in the oilpan. So we spent a little time tonight loosening the motor mounts, removing the engine shock absorbers :rolleyes: hoising the fucker up and getting the pan out. Tomorrow he is going to square up the hole, cut a few pieces of AL out and I'm going to weld the motherf*cker up..... soooooooooooooo yeah, that's taking a little time away from the ole' FC. Pics coming of that soon too.

[vex]

Ummmmm are you buying a spool of 1.5"?

Prowireusa.com man, cheapest prices I've found and they sell it by the foot ;)


Thanks! That's much better to deal with. I was looking at digikey and they only sold it by the spool. I'll be ordering it from them shortly.

[TitaniumTT]

Prowireusa has the datasheets on the Raychem and the Raychem boots so you can shoose what you need. Take a look at the Raychem boots.... they are the definition of sexy heatshrink..... :drool: I spent probably $1200 on Raychem and boots for the Landi.

[2gslse]

No worries man, those are some damn good numbers indeed. Are you taking that setup and dropping it in the FB? That would be soooooooooooo money. What wastegate are you running?[/QUOTE]

Yes it is the set-up for the FB the only changes are I will be using a 13B-RE and the later version RX6 turbo that uses a short runner manifold (I will have to clearance the lower manifold a little bit since the compressor just touches the RE lower) I already have the engine, the S4 N/A rotors I got from you, turbo kit from another FD, huge front mount intercooler and the Haltech platinum 1000 sitting here so most of my build is waiting for a little more money and a lot of time. hoping to crack 400 hp in a 2500lb car so it should be a rocket until the diff explodes:biggthumpup:

The wastegate is the one that came with the kit its an Apexi also but they have had a few failures on them in the past the bushing binds on the shaft when they get hot so all I need to do is bore out the bushing a tiny bit Dave said he has seen it before with that gate so I'll do both of mine at the same time

[WE3RX7]

Yes it is the set-up for the FB the only changes are I will be using a 13B-RE and the later version RX6 turbo that uses a short runner manifold (I will have to clearance the lower manifold a little bit since the compressor just touches the RE lower) I already have the engine, the S4 N/A rotors I got from you, turbo kit from another FD, huge front mount intercooler and the Haltech platinum 1000 sitting here so most of my build is waiting for a little more money and a lot of time. hoping to crack 400 hp in a 2500lb car so it should be a rocket until the diff explodes:biggthumpup:

The wastegate is the one that came with the kit its an Apexi also but they have had a few failures on them in the past the bushing binds on the shaft when they get hot so all I need to do is bore out the bushing a tiny bit Dave said he has seen it before with that gate so I'll do both of mine at the same time

Damn dude... I think I'm gonna have to hit you up for a ride @ DGRRXI seeing as how I'll be in a MAYBE 150rwhp lifted XJ.

That FB will be a rocket. Ever give any thoughts to swapping out the rear for an IRS?

At least somebody is making progress this weekend!

I'm making progress... I just finished cleaning my shop.... now it's onto cleaning the engine bay :smilielol5:

[2gslse]

No problem Brian just hit me up when you guys get there we will be in #52 this year.
I see you are stopping at DD in stevens city at 1100 should I notify the authorities of your arrival? we will be leaving early in the morning otherwise we would caravan down with you.

[hades]

Me too me too!

[mazpower]

See the written not :smilielol5:

Holy crap man. :rofl: You been getting any sleep?

[TitaniumTT]

Nope.


Sleep is for the weak and the lazy

I'll sleep when I'm dead

I slept for the first 9 months of my life, I'm trying to make up for lost time

The standing record for me to beat is 52 hrs.... You sure you want me back in Cali for that 3-rotor ;)

[hades]

Nope.

still trying to make it in the FC?

[TitaniumTT]

Yup, I'll be trying until 05:30 Thursday morning when we MUST be on the rd. Got the time, ain't got the parts. Total opposite of last year. Can't win for loosing :banghead:

[WE3RX7]

You're nuts. And this thread is useless without pics :)

[2gslse]

or a dedicated webcam running constantly we may settle for time-lapse photos

No thanks, something tells me he may work on his car in the buff...

[2gslse]

Thanks for that mental picture:puke: I was trying to eat before I go to sleep now I need to clean the keyboard and will have nightmares.


BTW brian I want to see your dyno sheets for the twins I'll bring mine with me

Oh nooooss, he's calling you out son :rofl:

[TitaniumTT]

You're nuts. And this thread is useless without pics :)

Here's a pic, nothing really has changed except that now the bay is clean.... and I have 198 hours left!!!

Lemme put it to you this way... I had a few parts made, and while I was in Cali I got word that they were done. This was on 3/31, thehy were "done".... do I have them yet? NO!!!! :banghead:

or a dedicated webcam running constantly we may settle for time-lapse photos

I tried that with the GoPro when I hauled an engine... was hoping for a video instead I got like 10000 pics instead. That would've be fricken sweet!!

[TitaniumTT]

No thanks, something tells me he may work on his car in the buff...

It's warm enough in here..... and just remember what we did in Cali for good luck to get me home :smilielol5:

Thanks for that mental picture:puke: I was trying to eat before I go to sleep now I need to clean the keyboard and will have nightmares.


BTW brian I want to see your dyno sheets for the twins I'll bring mine with me

I'll gladly post them up when I have them. I told someone I was going for 440rwhp, the reply, "ok cool have fun with that man." :rofl:

Oh nooooss, he's calling you out son :rofl:

Hey.... don't forget I still have more than 2x your rwhp ;)

[FerociousP]

just get some software to make a vid out of those photos.... i mean, when you speed it up you are grabbing only so many frames anyway...

[2gslse]

I just want to see the torque curve with the twins vs. a small single since the hp is similar.

[helghast7]

cant exactly be a small turbo, just the right size turbo to meet his port flow as well as his charge pipe lengths

its got to be the hardest fucking part of the whole process

i think im choosing good with the turbo i want, dave agrees 100% with what i want to do, and with the amount of pipe length i should have i should get full boost from 3-4k all the way up to redline and yet still be well within the turbos efficiency rate

The 20B is gonna be FUN.

Doesn't everyone????:smilielol5:

[Nismo]

Your nuts are in the glove box. And this car has made you it's bitch

Fixed!

[vex]

440 is nice and all... I'll probably get there when I re-do the engine after the house. In the mean time I'll be content to hit around 300 give or take. :)

[TitaniumTT]

There's so much that the cam can do that I am unaware of.... gotta linky?

I'm not sure I'll want to after seeing what someone just spent for a BW and what the twind cost and HAVE cost me :rofl::smash:

Where have I heard that one before. :lol:

:rofl: We've mumbled it a few times before..... :lol:

The 20B is gonna be PAINFULL.

FIXED!!!

The turbo might be, but I doubt the engine will be given the hotside that you are planning on using. Everythings a trade off though. Can't escape physics in this world. On that note, the twins are not very effiecient. I'm giving up a TON of engine effiecency to get the response that I want. I put money that my EMAP sensor goes into diag while we're on the dyno >15psi

Doesn't everyone????:smilielol5:

I should dyno my truck just to make sure :smilielol5:

Fixed!

I'll stab you in the eye and then mock you relentlessly for NEVER attending a true rotary meet.

[TitaniumTT]

Shit, that's still 50% more than a worked renni... I'd be happy with that ;)

[Renesisking]

I am in love with your car.

well as it sits right now from looking at the last dyno...my biggest restriction was the turbos... dave did a damn good job on my engine and its ready for a lot more power, if i really felt like pushing it i can honestly say that 500 shouldnt be much of a problem at all

its actually pretty sad...im running 850's all around on a stock pump only rewired, and i still had plenty of fuel to do more....my turbos just couldnt do it, or else they would have died a LOT faster then they did

btw the hot side im going for isnt all that big, and my manifold looks like its gonna flow very nicely so ill just have to see i guess

[WE3RX7]

I hate you all so much right now. Just wait....

[hades]

so do I buy redbull stock or short sell?

[2gslse]

I should dyno my truck just to make sure :smilielol5:


I can see it now you show up at daves and tell him you are ready to run on the dyno and the jeep is sitting there you may as well get dark cloud Dave to strap his new truck on the rollers as well.

How is progress coming?

[2gslse]

I hate you all so much right now. Just wait....

:toetap05:

What time we leaving on thursday?

[WE3RX7]

As early as you want to... probably need to pick a place to meet up like we did last time...

[TitaniumTT]

I am in love with your car.

Thanks man, you gonna be making it to any of the CART of FCSCC events this year?

Log EMAP, that's all I'm saying......... well that and where's my wiper switch ;):rofl:

[TitaniumTT]

I hate you all so much right now. Just wait....

For what? You to figure out how to strap down 3 of your rotaries to the dyno at once to try to beat MC's or my dyno sheets? :smilielol5::cheers2:

so do I buy redbull stock or short sell?

short sell. Still no brakes, no paint, no trigger, no time...... Very not cool at all

[TitaniumTT]

I can see it now you show up at daves and tell him you are ready to run on the dyno and the jeep is sitting there you may as well get dark cloud Dave to strap his new truck on the rollers as well.

How is progress coming?

Might as well be backwards:uhh:

What did Dave end up getting?

[vex]

I hate you all so much right now. Just wait....

Don't worry... I plan on hitting 500+ after I have a job :) And most of that coming from an awesome intake manifold design.

[JDriftM]

... I plan on hitting 500+ after I have a job

Job...JOB...(yahb)...j.o.b......what the hell is that?

[2gslse]

He got a shortbed Z71 chevy pickup and a broken finger.

Uh huh.... I've heard that one before.... just like 2010 was supposed to be the year of the FC, then FC meant first child ;) soooooo job, house, kid, mistress, kid, new car.... things always get in the way of fun..

[TitaniumTT]

Kewl.... the redneck hotrod :smilielol5:

I'm pretty sure I fractured my finger a few weeks ago.

I don't have a kid?... I think you're thinking of someone else. :lol::piggy:

Out of curiosity how long did prowire take to ship to you? I'm trying to get it up and ready for tuning by next week at the latest.

[hades]

ONE WEEK LEFT!!!! :willy_nilly:

[TitaniumTT]

Not for me..... 5 days left for me :willy_nilly::willy_nilly::willy_nilly:!!!!!

I NEEEEEEEEDDDD PPPAAAQARRRRTTTTTSSS@!@!@@!!@Q!

Like-a bull-a shit! go buy a block of fucking aluminum and chisel out some brakes and a trigger.....I know you're able to :suspect:

[hades]

I've already got one caliper here, the second was supposed to be overnighted yesterday but I haven't seen it yet. I was supposed to drive the FC out to Daves on Wednesday to get the tranny thing figured out but a few things happened, the tranny broke again, and I couldn't get brake pressure. I still had the stock cali's on, but couldn;'t get pressure from the master. I've got a different master :suspect: but I didn't have lines for it, those showed up yesterday afternoon, only a week late.

So I've got A master, and a few lines, still missing some lines, 4 rotors, 2 sets of pads, 3 calipers, and 2 sets of pads :banghead:

I thought about stealing the brakes from the 'vert, but they've been sitting stagnant for almost 4 years now, not sure I'd trust those on the dragon when my well lovefd brakes faded to nothing on the dragon.

All in all it's a horrible nightmare from which there is no escape...:willy_nilly:

EJay - you going? My flight lands at 2:00 in TN.:biggthumpup:

Where are you flying into?

Ship me your brakes damnit! No wait, those won't work.... EJ, send me yours

[EJayCe996]

Ship me your brakes damnit! No wait, those won't work.... EJ, send me yours

Now that you reminded me, I had better run some fluid through mine since I rebuilt them :suspect:

I even painted them gold with that epoxy caliper paint so they now match all the black and gold suspension pieces :rofl:. On that note its a bit funny since I probably won't even keep the stance C/Os and hop on over to Zeals.

[TitaniumTT]

Hell of an upgrade.... have you ridden stances yet.... aside from my car?

[EJayCe996]

Hell of an upgrade.... have you ridden stances yet.... aside from my car?

Yessir, I've been on one of the original releases of them since they were first introduced.

I fly into the Nashville then drive out. I was going to a lake after the event, but that got cancelled. So I haven't decided when I will fly back.

[vex]

You have a kid????:cheers2:...No... I don't have a kid. Not yet. I'm so confused.

Pretty quick, with the exception of what was backordered
They haven't sent me a shipping notification yet, so I get the impression they haven't shipped what I asked for yet. This puts me in the same boat as you (I can't readily put the harness together without the heatshrink on there).

[TitaniumTT]

I didn't think you had a kid. You said after the job you'll build something for 500. I'm saying I've heard that before. After you get the job, other things will get in the way, family, house, kid, mistress, second kid, etc etc etc...... much like 2010 was supposed to bne the year of the FC, then FC meant first child..... get it?

No... but that's okay. I probably won't understand for awhile. I just laugh at the thought of trying to get to 500 HP without a source of income or a place to call my own. :Lol:

Welllllllll if you were going to Deals, I could explain it to you there.... buuuuuuuuuuuutttttttt.... yeah

Boo.

Yeah I know, blows. Still trying but it's looking pretty damn doubtful. MOST of the brakes came in but I'm still missing some pretty key parts. And to make matters worse, I can't get even steal the parts that I need from the 'vert as they are in WORSE shape than the ones I got. Just to tease all of you though, I'm going to take some pics of the new brake setup and make you all green with envy, then I'm going to never show any of you :rofl::smilielol5:

[TitaniumTT]

Scott, what are your travel times and routes and whatnot?

[vex]

Welllllllll if you were going to Deals, I could explain it to you there.... buuuuuuuuuuuutttttttt.... yeah
If you need something to blame; blame prowire. I still haven't received my heat shrink I ordered. In fact I have received stuff that I ordered after it. They're taking their sweet time.:o10:
