"Houston, We have Stink"!
Come to think of it, I think I remember a reverse vortex in the toilet when I was in Boulder. Are you kidding? Gonna put it on the trailer backwards so it'll roll off and fire the motor as it crosses the starting line. I figure this is gonna be more like an enduro, where the car that goes the farthest wins. Gonna be a short race.
Plugzit in the garage this evening, tuning the "Drive Thru Window" map. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGEqlNU30Tg&feature=related[/ame] Reverse Vortex....geesh! Oh, wait....
Was that French car playing our National Anthem or God Save the Queen? The 358 is gonna be tuned to play "Inna-godda-da-vida"
I wonder if Uncle Jessie will be able to make his twin turbo godzilla concoction play this: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29X0Z8do4gg[/ame]
We are going to try again tonight to get more out of the thing. Dave, what do you mean to check if it's running the right direction?! We are definitely learning alot about Motec 48's and the Ferrari engine. Maybe we'll actually get this thing tuned. Sometimes I am amazed how these things even work. You cannot believe our punch list just to get the car to drive around the block at idle. Sheit, it's like a real job! Go thing Bruce has the time to sort out the mystery. I was just shocked that the Motec talked to the computer and then it even starts up! Go figure. It would be too good to be true to think we actually kind of knew what we were doing, eh?
"Name Check, Isle 3" I already get blamed for enough, it was the trouble maker BRUCE that said that and he has Plugzit watching toilet flow directions now. He's trying to get me to do the same right now but with a full digital, 16 injector, hybrid Motec system. I have enough Bus tread marks running across this old body already! You will need it running for more than a few seconds... Ernie got the old 6.5 running again and we cant all loose by default!
Yeah, I can't wait to hear the announcer say "There go 6 of the GFRT crowd down the straight at full sputter!"
LOL! That reminds me of a Can AM Lola the guy working on it swapped a big NASCAR holley on it in place of the previous weber's ...... Wasn't near as eye pleasing , but sure woke up a cranky old car!!!
Sounds to me like he had the Wrong crew chief, not the wrong induction system! ANYTHING with multiple stacks sticking up in the wind...THAT is cool and flows serious air, only thing better is Hilborn or McKay uneven length stacks. A single toilet sitting atop an aluminum Octopus...... nope, akin to a turd in the Punch Bowl. If it was a second generation Frisbe with a monster snorkel.... he already had cool on his side and could do anything he wanted.
Beats the galvanized fence post I have seen used in the past for repairing 355 headers. One day I will stumble across those photo's I took and post them. With all of the stink getting past the back bumper at least the eye burning fumes from the old 6.5 will be behind you and you can see where you are going now. Cant say the same for the driver behind you but... he is behind you after all.
Yes it made a lot of stink and noise. Sounds much better that when it fired up this morning. But I don't remember the idle being so high? Vince said you guys were gonna adjust it down some.
The old cog lives again!!! And the red car in the video sounds nice as well. I am near the point of buying proper ST's for that car if BW's IMSA sponsorship check actually shows up.
As soon as I get the ferschlugginer clutch bled, it oughta be ready to drive, at least enough to terrorize the neighborhood. I hate bleeding 348 clutches. This one isn't cooperating. I've got the rear if the car elevated, I stood on one foot with my tongue out the left side of my mouth while patting my stomach, and it's still not bleeding. What am I doing wrong???? Arrrgh!
