    Lol. You kill me, as always. And how can you not like the angled look?!?

    Just swing down to NJ... I feel like I should have a PhD in 308 audio systems after the past two weekends. And I know you were jealous of me having Def Leppard cranking. ;)

    I took a couple of videos of the 308 going to work today. But unfortially, today for some reason, there was to much traffic. The hi way to work was stop n go. So no video on that.

    So you'll get the back road going to the hi way instead. Even on that I had cars coming out of side streets, backing out of driveways.

    Enjoy. :)

    Wow...we should all have such a nice drive to work each day.

    You, my friend, are living the dream.

    Car looks and sounds fabulous.

    Thanks Henry.

    Yes, it was a good ride. Haven't had cars beep and give me the thumbs up in a loooong time.

    Had a lot of kids checking her out at the pizza shop too.

    Picture of her sitting lonely for 12 hours.

    Chris, nice meeting you the other day and thanks for the ride too. I was looking thru this thread of yours, took a few days, and all I can say is whoa! Some ride you took.
    I appreciate the offer to help me with the oil change. I'll be out of the country for about a month so ill email you when I get back. Bill.

    Nice meeting you too Bill. :)

    Ha! Yes, long thread. I don't keep up with it as much now that the car is all done. Just little updates here and there.

    If you want to see cool projects, check on Paul Newman's threads. This guy is a pro and does some great work.

    Let me know about that oil change when you get back.

    Cheers

    Chris, how are you doing with the tuning? Have you been able to get the A/F ratio where you what it throughout the RPM range?

    No, not yet Paul. :(

    I had a friend visiting a couple of weeks ago and we took her out for a few hours doing some tuning. He's knowledgeable on the Tec3 system.

    He couldn't figure out what the problem was either. I'm going to do a data recording tomorrow and see if that shows anything.

    She starts good and runs fine but that's the only issue I still have.

    On my skull!

    Until I drove the foolish thought from my head.
    ;)

    I'm only sorry that I'm leaving the area before seeing it. Perhaps when you retire to Florida.

    BTW since this started out as an answer to "a shifting problem", does it shift better now?

    :)

    Maybe. Do you have extra storage at your new place?? ;) ;)

    My Association won't approve a "hotrod" on the property. :(

    I think you're the first one to ask me that question. Why yes, yes she does. :)

    Well, looks like I got some kind of oil leak. :( Someone must have jinxed me. Must have been VIZSLA.

    It's on the drivers side as you can see in the picture.

    Typical territorial marking. You should feel honored.
