If I didn't have VB on wed. I'd be at BIR even though the track is worthless on those nights and there is nothing on sunday. I'll be there within a couple of weeks. Launches good.  |

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
+1 there will be an extra inch of rubber and vht on the track after today!
This thing better cut a 1.2 60' on street tires or I will be disappoint!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
So attempted to drive teh car again this saturday. Fuel pump was dying and swapped in another one, problem solved.
Then was heading out for some dinner and a cruise, pushed the coolant cap off and ended up bursting the coolant overflow hose. Parked it went and had dinner and drinks then picked it up today.
Still not really driving the car that much because I ordered my tabs online (dumbass move) and they are still not here!
Car needs an alignment, re-torque headstuds and maybe I'll do a compression test and what not to make sure she is in good shape, either way I'll run it.
I'm also thinking of getting rid of all the gauges that I have and just going back to a boost, oil psi, trans temp, and wb. I know its nice to have and originally it was about having the information if i need it, but I know that I'll have the car running solid enough to where I won't need it.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
Drove the car again last night and washed it for the first time in over a year. It's no show car but I'm happy its clean and doesn't look like a rally car anymore.
Car drives great, had some frum roll action last night and did well.
I did try to stall it up last night and realized that I need to tune it if not I will not be going to the track.

Don't say the S word. I need to tune the launch bad, I cant get it to stall up and I'm sure its in the tune since after driving it a mile I stalled it up good and launched at 10psi.
Right now its locked at 2-3 psi and 3000rpm. Just need to finish this damn homework so I can get outside.
Oh and I cleaned it last night and I was so happy to see it, I did it at the spray booth and it sounded nasty when I used the foam brush. Spaz would cry, but I'm happy its clean. Maybe I'll hand wash it tomorrow. |

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.
so I found some boost leaks that might of been the problem with the stall, although because of these issues i did learn some more about tuning for stall/launch.
I got an AL short antenna to replace my stock one, but my camera was dead.  I'll try and snap some pics tomorrow before I leave for BIR. |
