Hey Shawn! Not too bad. I'm enjoying the heat and the sunshine of Texas. I hate the mosquitoes though. Now, we are no longer a Toyota Family. I sold the Tundra for the diesel, and my wife sold the 4runner for a TSX. Hopefully in 4 years we will end up in Washington again. Toyota...

Pretty much! I work to get it all fixed up and then I up and sell it.

It does not unfortunately. The digidash car is still in the area though. Hopefully Ben will be a bit more active. He drove it down to Portland for PacNW Supra Nationals. I haven't talked to him in a while. He keeps winning awards for the car though. He just has all the luck. When I had it, I...

It is the Touareg. I sold the tundra since it doesn't fit in the garage. This will be significantly more expensive to fix when it does go wrong but I'm so spoiled with luxury in it! For once I don't feel the need to modify absolutely everything on it! The stereo kicks ass and the adjustable air...

Well here is a teaser pic:

Well, small update from me. I haven't been on here much since I moved to Texas. Well, the Tundra doesn't fit in the garage so I sold it to a guy in Denver and bought a VW. That being said, it is a pretty sweet "people's car".

Hmm. Well I did add a lot of fuel on the high boost area above 3,500 rpms and 18psi. It was a bit of a safety measure I threw in months ago when I was trying to dial in timing. I forgot to pull it out when I sold the car. I'll drop it another 10-15 and that should make it much better. Come to...

I have no idea. I'm running a thick head gasket. 2mm cometic. Maybe that has something to do with it. Oh, it is also running on 5 1/2 cylinders too since one of them has that big gouge down the side. I gave Ben a newly machined block though. The richness of it couldn't help either. It's the best...

I can send you a picture of the timing map I made for my old car. It is really aggressive though. Worked well enough for the dyno though. Now I just need to lean it out! There is another 30hp that can be made in that car.

Well the guy who bought my car just got it dynoed at the PacNW supra nationals and it made 410hp and 390 torque. Not bad for a car I built and tuned myself on a budget.

Geez! You're going pretty aggressive with your build!

Yeah I did the yz450 exhaust cam swap for better power and the auto decomp and I installed the wr flywheel and stator so I can install a lighting kit and someday make the bike street legal. I love the sound of a big 4-stroke thumper though!

Will do! I was hoping you would be out on the dunes on Saturday. Note to self; bring a paddle tire for the dirt bike. The quad had paddle rear tires but I had to make do with a knobby. Thankfully the bike is powerful enough to lug my fat ass around.

YZ426. My wife was riding her Yamaha Blaster. The dunes were fun.

I'm riding in Moses lake today. Is anyone else out here?

So, I sell the Supra and then the wife's 4runner starts acting up. FML. The front passenger carpet under the rubber floormat is wet. It is only on the flat part though, not the part going up towards the firewall. It also doesn't smell (or taste) like ethylene glycol, just regular water. It's...

It was tough. I turned down higher offers from people because I didn't trust them. I trust Ben. He is MtCastle on here. I know you guys will be as welcoming and amazing to him as you guys are to me. You are a great bunch of people to hang out with. Not just because we own the same car, but...

I plan on it! I imagine people will still have questions about the digital dash and such. I'm probably the best qualified to talk about it!

Well, I sold the Supra today. It was a really weird feeling.

Yhatzee, that was exactly what I was thinking with the diesel electric train idea. Having motors built in the wheels would be awesome though. Imagine with a simple flick of a switch, turning your AWD electric car into a right wheel drive car or front passenger side wheel! Ah, the absurd...
