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

[need RX7]

Explanation pl0x. And more pics. Pics are always good.

[hades]

he is a 1/2 lying **** who was missing some parts, but was not as bad as he made it out to be.

He showed up very late on Saturday morning-3ish I think. Then he entered his car in the show I saw him around 9ish in the morning. His car was awesome (for an FC anyway ). I lost track of him until later on at the banquet.




He was asked to help fix an FD back out on the dragon. On the way TTT became a little sleepy and decided that I should drive instead.

So I grudgingly said ok. I really didn't want to drive a piece of shit FC with no torque and laggy turbos. On the way TTT got a little shut eye.

We got to the FD about 1:00 in the morning. Goodfellas and some others beat us there and found out that one of the 2ndary injectors got stuck wide open. It managed to have fuel pouring out of every possible location. So the engine was deflooded. Both secondaries disconnected and we left around 1:50am.



Then we drove back to the lodge where I took this pic.



TTT was on the was to KDR to get his POS dyno'd on Monday. I texted me that it made a bit more torque

Yup, that was the plan all along, I had a little ace in the hole JIC though and I actually did need him

For the last few weeks I've been pissing and moaning about not getting parts in time and have been leading people to believe that I wasn't taking the FC, when in fact, I knew I was going to.... 2gslse even said something to the effect of, you lied to us, you said you were going to the airport in the Jeep to pick your buddy up. That was actually the truth, I just said it in a way that would lead everyone to believe that we were leaving right after that.... so yeah, got you all!!!!! Then, Thursday morning she was outside idling away ready to go whe we realized that my e-fan had puked. I was like, screw this, we're going anyway, lets go get Colin and leave. But his ride wasn't done and he needed me to weld some stuff so we hung around and got his car rolling, I replaced the E-fan, rebled and adjusted the brakes, and we left on our 21hr journey

Ironic thing is, if we HAD left, we would've been stuck in all that tornado traffic and I would've been screwed with no e-fan so I guess it was a good thing we left late? All I kow is I can't wait to go back.
And yeah, now that the surprise is over with, I'll update the thread with all the pics I took of things that I did that I didn't tell anyone about

We bumped the redline to 8k becuase the torque carried for another 1000 rpms, literally. Peak torque is now something like 7.6/7.7k..... she's a fucking rocket. Must get back to dyno and finish playing.

I definitely need to get a ride in that at some point.
