[djmtsu]

YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!


DGRR 2016 is about 6 months away. Time to get ready!!!!!

[almoststockfc]

I need moar monies!

[rx7 vinnie]

Wow!!!! I'm not the one to procrastinate....... I'll see what my schedule is like.

[GySgtFrank]

I hate you. I was trying not to panic quite yet. :suspect:

[Gregory Casimir]

I'll like to see what this all about? Who else is traveling up from south Florida?

It's the real deal... a great event!
Just go you won't be disappointed.
I'm leaving from Melbourne, Fl

[TitaniumTT]

Dates?

[Pete_89T2]

Dates?

April 14 thru 17, 2016. Think Phil posted that on book of faces & the other forum some time ago. At least that's on my calendar and I put in leave already for it :D

[djmtsu]

Yep, 14-17th of April.

Time to start doing.....everything.......again....

[JL1RX7]

Psssh got time. That is like in the next year. No way will anything slip past April.

[TitaniumTT]

Psssh... I got time... What I need are drivers! Maybe... I may just take the zero Brap S4

wuss.

[Buggy]

I was trying to organize a huge group from Canada to come down, but no one really wanted to commit to it. That early in April us Canadians could still be stuck in a snow bank! I need to talk to Phil about possibly planning 2017 a little later in April. The Rx-4 needs to come back to DGRR! This time it may be on a trailer though. Then I'll throw the Evinrude on with it. Has there ever been a snowmobile at DGRR?

No... But there has been a gokart with a snowmobile motor on it..

[FC Zach]

Yep

May El Nino ever be in your favor.

Seriously, I thought you Canucks were supposed to be tough?

:D

[Buggy]

I was there the years that the go cart and the hercules bikes were there. Us Canucks are tough, we're just smart enough to know that driving in snow with race compound tires isn't a good idea. We learned the hard way in 2012....

You need a hitch with a tire rack!! Switch to summer tires somewhere around the border of Freedom and 'Merica!

That picture was actually taken in Summersville West Virginia on our way home, so that idea is no good either lol.

But, you'll have the tires heading home!! Your point is invalid!

Seriously though, I want to see the RX-4 again.

Orlando Florida is where I'll b driving from. We need to organize a FL. caravan.

So since I REALLY want to do this this year. How do I plan it out? Setting up for a place to stay and keep my car?

Are there places to camp out at near by?

When do entry tickets start being sold?

Phil will usually announce when registration begins here soon (before Christmas). Once you have registered, you can book a lodge room or cabin at the venue (Nantahalla Village). There are some people who do camp, but I have no experience. Because I like to be warm when I'm drunk :)

There's 2 of us going from Windsor. (RX8's)
My car is getting complete overhaul. Can't wait for 2016, missed this year.

If you plan to go again next year let me know as I'm going in 2017 come hell or high water. Next winter the Rx-4 will get a 5 speed and a rear end rebuild. Then it should be good to go.

[Gregory Casimir]

need money and tires.



oh and to rebuild my engine.

[djmtsu]

SO here's a disappointing bit of info.

As of this morning, there are 110 officially registered for DGRR 2016.

As of 2/9/2016, there were 209 VW's registered for Wookies in the Woods. Same weekend.

Community is slacking. Interesting to look at their rally support. They have a TON of sponsors, including VW America paying for their BBQ.

Sigh. We're like a group of orphans.

3 years ago we had 100 within the first week. It really feels like the enthusiasm has died a lot. I think that some of the drama from a few years ago hurt our numbers the last couple years. And we're a really small community compared to the VW guys I would think.

[djmtsu]

There is also less hype for it across forums, FB, whatever.

Drama over what? Awards?

I thought we go here to drive?

[chibikougan]

There is also always the last minute rush... Also lots of people with cars down I would say more going down then coming back.

[Pete_89T2]

I thought we go here to drive?

^That. Plus of course the rotor head camaraderie and the drinking! :rofl:

[Johnny_K]

Yea surprised more ppl aren't talking about it

[reddozen]

I've tried posting about it everywhere I can. I'm not much of a hype guy though...

[2gslse]

I know here are a few of us dragging on registration but the talk of DGRR here as of now is slow because so many use social media crap now :(

[chibikougan]

Some of BAW is late also I think we just got cabin info in the last week.

[FC Zach]

YES! ! :cheers2::gulp:

I go for the drinking and debauchery.... and to break my car of course:willy_nilly:

Are you gonna come for a ride this year DJ?

[t_g_farrell]

The OGTA will be there in full force along with a bunch of folks coming up
from GA, and AL of course.

We also have a special guest we are hosting at the OGTA cabin, goes by the
name Kentetsu on the forums. He's a cancer survivor and wants to hit DGRR
this year. He will be coming down from Michigan, so if there are any others coming
from that way hit me up here or contact him directly on 7club (not sure he's on here much).

Sweet! I knew Ken was coming, since we're FB friends.

[t_g_farrell]

BTW, his name is Mark. Thats ok I called him Ken before as well.

Maybe we can honor his trip in some way at the banquet.

[djmtsu]

Always refer to him as Ken, for short. I'm pretty iffy with real names. Pretty good with forum names. Lol

Good deal. I've been wanting to meet him. He has a sweet cone killer set up on his 1st gen.

That's not being secret, that's being superstitious. If you announce that you will have a rotary somewhere that little w**** will make sure and break so you can't get it there. :(

[TitaniumTT]

I have no idea what you're talking about :suspect:

liar, liar, pants on fire.

[TitaniumTT]

My car has always made it there and back under it's own power :fawk:

[djmtsu]

Looking at S4 NA wiring diagrams in the FSM is turning my brain into pudding.

[TitaniumTT]

:rofl: I'm sure some is still memorized.... whats the problem?

[reddozen]

Now that you've said that....:willy_nilly:

[djmtsu]

:rofl: I'm sure some is still memorized.... whats the problem?

Nothing as of yet, just sifting through all the BS I need to de-pin. Also need to figure out a circuit to power the ECU, coils and fuel pump.

Looks like to run the engine I need to keep these circuits:
-AFM
-AIT
-Coolant temp
-O2 sensor
-Fuel Injectors
-CAS
-Ignition coils
-Pressure sensor
-Fuel injector/pump resistor (?)
-TPS

Right?

[85rx-7gsl-se]

What jalopy are you working on now DJ?

[djmtsu]

What jalopy are you working on now DJ?

You'd have to be more specific, as everything I own could be described as a 'jalopy'.

It's easier to say that an S4 NA engine is going into something that isn't an FC.

[85rx-7gsl-se]

So you need to install a motor too

[djmtsu]

Indeed. Although mine is much simpler than yours. Stupid FD.

Don't need O2 but do need to add TPS.

I wouldn't bother with a FP resistor, although you do need them for the injectors unless you swap them

Indeed. Although mine is much simpler than yours. Stupid FD.

Stupid FD's.... And I've got two of them at my shop, neither with an engine :facepalm:

[t_g_farrell]

DGRR registration is up to 122 today. Almost doubled in the last month or so.

Mine is being emissions deleted and non-sequential so not too tricky.

Still too much BS. :)

:rofl: Quite the opposite.. besides... I like numbers better than letters

[85rx-7gsl-se]

OMP line just snapped. F*#@

[reddozen]

Sounds like premix it is!

[TitaniumTT]

Now that you've said that....:willy_nilly:

And this is the first year I don't have a second or third driver and the support/tow vehicle is getting left in CT :willy_nilly:

Maggie is gonna need to pack LIGHT! Actually.... might bring the track trailer... which means Hoosiers on the dragon :reddevil:

But the thought of towing the track trailer with the FC for 14 hours is not appealing

[85rx-7gsl-se]

Sounds like premix it is!

Nah just ordered new braided lines this morning. Will probably do a little pre-mix too though for good measure ;)

[TitaniumTT]

I premix even on my 8. RA OMP adapter and ~250-185:1 in the tank.

[chibikougan]

:o16:REGISTER:o16:

[project86]

:o16:REGISTER:o16:

are you going?

[chibikougan]

Not gonna make it this year sadly.

[t_g_farrell]

137 registered so far.

And 8 SAs too!

[reddozen]

It's a neck and neck battle with the FD and RX8. With 24 each, who will dominate the event...

[djmtsu]

Starting this weekend, Sunday Fundays at Charles. Don't bring your crap (please), we're busy with Charles and my crap.

So if you want to come help, hit me or Charles up. Already a big thanks to Jeff and JK for getting things started a week or so ago.

Otherwise, I'll be driving someone else's junk again this year.

[almoststockfc]

Who is Jeff?

[djmtsu]

Who is Jeff?

Some queer that works for Nissan and allegedly has a REPU.

[rx7 vinnie]

Jeff Gordon

[TitaniumTT]

Welp, changed the oil and gave the once over, just a bath and I'm ready for DGRR!

Something something handles really well something something 330ft/lbs torque something something already done something something on time something something AWD something something 25mpg something something quiet and comfy something something don't have to bring spare parts and tools :rofl:

poofter is as poofter does. You have a running rotary and still bring the teutonic ball massager. :squint:

[djmtsu]

Sick burn.

[TitaniumTT]

Except I don't have a running rotary. FrankenB isn't running yet and that takes priority over my FC..... I know this is a contradiction in terms, but there should be at least one decent FB there :lol:

RX8 - finally got the PS fixed over the weekend but the air filter is fucked, need a new one of those from Racing Beat because damn REVi,
I totally jewed every last cent out of the rear tires and corded both of them
I actually have to pull the engine and replace the front cover because the trigger sensor bolt stripped out and the heli-coil got fucked, so the sensor sits a little crooked and the trigger wheel doesn't line up with the center of the sensor, so it misfires horribly over 7k. Sometimes it's so bad it actually drops a rotor and floods half the engine. Oh, new brakes at both ends

FC - I conclusively found the issues with the fuel pumps and started rewiring all that shit over the weekend, waiting on some 12Ga tefzel to show up and then I can finish that. Also needs hardlines on the WG's, repack the front bearings, remount the oil coolers, reduct the brakes, make sure there's still some life left in the brakes, replace the Aquamist pump head, replumb some of the AI lines, add a pre-turbo nozzle, dyno the thing, and replace the rear tires in that as I blew them off enough that they're bald in the center.

With Frankenb not even started, not having a completed suspension front or rear, and all the other little bullshit things that need to be done with that fucker, yeah, that takes priority.

Plus I don't feel like killing myself on that car AGAIN especially with working 50-60 hours a week..... just don't have the desire. I'd like to enjoy myself so the FC will be sitting it out this year. Fuck it....

And, it's a heated ball massager.

[TitaniumTT]

Sick burn.

Subaru, too many burns to even start :fawk:

[almoststockfc]

add a pre-turbo nozzle,

Add? Are you going to keep your other along with the pre turbo? or replace

[TitaniumTT]

Adding. Will have three. 1 preturbo, 1 in each secondary runner

[djmtsu]

Subaru, too many burns to even start :fawk:

Same handling and convenience features an an Audi. 1/10 the cost.

[TitaniumTT]

Can you bring whatever it is you're smoking to the lodge? I REALLY need to try some of that shit!

[almoststockfc]

Adding. Will have three. 1 preturbo, 1 in each secondary runner

Nice. Will you be staging them separately

[TitaniumTT]

Negative. They're all coming on at the same time. It's a tremendous amount of WM50. I have open dump WG's, I plan to not hear them at full boost and WOT :rofl:

[almoststockfc]

[Sh00bs]

hey guys, so this event is a little more popular over here than on rx 7 cl ub...

i dont ever really get on RCC, looking forward to meeting you guys down there! I'll be in my 85 with a fresh engine :)

Here's two pics of er

[djmtsu]

^^As seen on Book Face^^

Welcome back.

[reddozen]

RX8 - finally got the PS fixed over the weekend ...

Now if I could just get mine to stop dropping intermittently. I'll be pulling the harness... again....

New PS computer, 3rd rack, 2nd harness... just going to have to comb over every inch if it all.

[TitaniumTT]

Hoe Shit! Fuck that! Did you add extra grounds and use lots of dielectric grease?

[reddozen]

Hoe Shit! Fuck that! Did you add extra grounds and use lots of dielectric grease?

No extra grounds, but I had the greased them up good. I'm going to depin all the clips and scrub the hell out of all the tabs then crimp the female side so the pin will barely fit in. Also going to check the crimps on all the pins. Will probably just flow some solder into the crimped clips for good measure.

If this doesn't work, then I'm just going to drop the damn electric steering for a different rack. Probably use a Mark III MR2 electric motor.

[TitaniumTT]

Don't use the solder, it will actually hinder with more resistance.

[Sephitrask]

Why the fuck did I even look in this thread? I knew it would just make me sad :( Not going to make it this year, currently bleeding out on a rebuild on the 8 that won't be done in time, and even if the car was done wouldn't have the cash to make it happen. next year for sure the 8 will make a reappearance!

[reddozen]

Don't use the solder, it will actually hinder with more resistance.

Just re-crimp if it's loose?

[TitaniumTT]

Yup. The crimps aren't what gets loose, it's the connector itself where the contact is made

Final count for online registration.. 197.

I'd say that we'll have about 250 people this year. It started out a little slow, but lots of people registered in the last month or so.

See everyone tomorrow!
