Well everyone I'm almost done with another semester at FSU, Ill be in st. augustine/jax from 23Apr-11May. Anything going on? Im really interested in dynoing or running my car at the track over this small break as I never have since i've owned my car(5 years).

Anyone up to that? Or is there anything else going on?



Oh yeah, there is plenty going on.....I will be swapping my motor on the 2nd of may....I took that whole week off because aside from the motor i need to install: act clutch, intercooler, maftpro, 4 gauges and a wideband sensor, power steering rack, outer tie rods, two new tires and rattle can the engine bay after getting rid of the rust by the battery and i think that is it....I will be busy!!!! :icon_bigg Help will be compinsated through food and beer.....and spare part giveaway! This will all take place from May 2nd- May 10th...RSVP your spot now! :biglaugh:

Haha yah I'll def. have to strop by at some point, can i schedule a walkin appointment?

The drag strip would be fun from what I can find on the intraweb we have two choices that are farely close. Orlando and Gainesville.
Gville Test and Tune- 7th, 14th, 21, & 28th – Wednesday night

Orlando - General Admission
$10 - Parking pit passes & kids under 12 free
"Street Drags" Every Wednesday & Friday Night
Tuning, practice, grudge racing, co-driver drags quarter mile fun!
6:00 PM til 10:30 PM Only $5 more to run

Not sure what dyno's there is in the are, but maybe someone else could chime in.
Anyone interested in either of these two other than homer?

Val, I'm in for all week. Still unemployed and all. Let me know when you want the "cherry picker." Also, if anyone could help out with this I have a list of parts I'm trying to find for my brother's car, but I'll try to get with you guys one on one. The more important one is the white 90 N/A I had out a couple weeks ago blew the a/c line that goes from the pass. side to the fire-wall. Called the dealer (might have been a mistake) they quoted me about $120, if anyone know's where I could get one cheaper. Or may even have one laying around I'd be greatly appreciated. Thx fella's hope to see all of you on the street.

SO I installed the fuel pump and AFPR set it to 40 psi went for a drive, come home to check for leaks, damn a leak! right on the 90 that connects to the fitting that goes in the rail I hope it's just lose because I can't get a wrench in there, have to buy a crow's foot and tighten it down some more, also I pulled out all the fuel from the afc under WOT and it's still at 10 well guess I’ll be going to stage 6 soon, I’ll keep you all posted.

i was shocked to see this thing under there when i open the hood looks like they ran NOS on it can't see any thing wrong with the out side of it but with nos being run in it there is not telling, could not get the motor to turn but the oil looks good must have been sitting for some time.

Better to buy a compression tested and leakdown tested clip from driftmotion... it costs a bit more but you know its done right...

yep looks like it's been sitting for some time, not to mention the NOS that's been run in it but it was cool to see one in person there bigger than the 7M in size.
