Ok sounds good....

I feel like doing BBQ sunday. Who's brining the BBQ and shall we do a bring your own meats thing?

I usually bring the BBQ but if I go I will be on my bike so someone else will have to bring it.

After talking to Jeremy today, he talked me back into coming. Post up if someone is bringing a BBQ, and if anyone wants to stop and meet up with me in Hamilton (Stoney Creek) along the way to cauyga? I was thinking the timmies/wendies on hwy20/mud??

Well I guess the Vince vs Mike J jabs are coming to an end as Vince seems to have decided to bring his bike and not his Talon to settle the score once and for all. Oh well it was getting old and tired anyway (his car too)

I'll be bringing my video camera too so I should be able to get video and pics of the races.

I'm getting way too pumped up over this (I've only been out once this year and that was months ago).

I can bring some sausage and burgers

Man this sucks, if my part does'nt come in tomarrow then I may be SOL for this Sunday.

Man this sucks, my part doesn't come in for at least another week so I AM SOL for this Sunday.

Sorry Mikey I'm having too much fun on the bike right now... so you'll just have to continue to live in my shodow a bit longer

I guess I might still be on althought I wont be running. My new engine is on the stand tonight as I just finished removing the balance shafts and waiting on a few gastkets. So ...as it looks, the new engine wont be in the car(even if it is, the new clutch will need to be broken in).

I guess I'd play camera man for the day

I rather drive in there solo. less chances of gettign nabbed by cops.

Unfortunately I am unable to make it to the track on the 6th.
Anyone from the GTA that could pick up a part from Jeremy Chin for me?
I would be able to meet up with you during the week for pick-up.

I could probably pick up in Toronto next Wed. night...July 9....possibly this weekend, but not for sure...

Cayuga weather for Sunday:

Sunny with cloudy periods
High 29
no wind

Prefect

Sorry I do not have a portable BBQ to bring.

anyone? Carlos? Dennis? Kev needs his A-pillar

I can grab it for him if Kevin's willing to come out to 401/Dixie to pick it up from me.

Occasionally, i end up in the Bloor/Bathurst area..

I can pick it up Jeremy, not a problem.

It came in, nice freash ported turbine housing ready to go in.
I'll be at the caravan meet Sunday monring.

Hopefully I'll make it out.

Gotta represent the FWD's!

I think it would be a great idea to have a DSM BBQ on Sunday. What do you guys think???

I have a portable BBQ which I can bring, if everyone could bring some food and drinks, I think we can all have a nice lunch all together.

Let's get it organized.....

hahahaha good one... lol

I have a portable bbq if someone wants to pick it up...

How about this.
Carlos you bring the BBQ and someone else if they want. I'm gonna bring 24 pack of buns and some drinks someone else bring some hamburgers.

KW guys meet at the Sunoco on 24 (right side) in Cambridge just off the 401 (heading towards Brantford) at about 8:30. Caravan leaves at 8:45.

Carlos or Rafal if you would pick up the a-pillar cover for me that would be great, let me know who picked it up.
Thanks again.

I'll have to skip the Caravan guys since I need to do a tranny fluid change tomarrow morning.
Can't do that untill stores open at 10pm.

I'll see you guys there around noon.

Sorry I could'nt make it guys.
It turns out I had lose upper and lower inputshaft bolts.
I just spend my afternoon getting some Synthetic gear oil, removing my transaxle cover and re-torquing down the bolts.

Anyways, theres always next time.

I couldn't make it either. I installed my MAFT but didn't get it to finish on time for the T & T.

So... how'd everyone do?

All fixed, my problem was a combination of three things.
-non-synthetic gear oil
-lose upper/lower input shaft bolts
-clogged transaxle air breathers

Shifting like butter now.

YEAH?
what gives? DoI have to shut-up now or canI talk more sh!t

I know Kinnairdo can kiss my ass (for a little while still anyways)

What about you Jackson?

I was wondering what where the results? What kinda times you guys get? How many runs and the wait between runs? Everyone made it through the day with no problems? And last but not least any hassles from the police coming or going?

No one from the T&T has replied yet. Maybe they all got busted by the MTO/OPP outside the track

Why? because no one showed up.

So much for talk.

I went in and spent $20 hoping to get some good DSM footage and guess what? Mike, Jeff and Bali were the only DSMs running.

We brought in so much food and drink. Thank you Carlos for bringing in the BBQ.

Great showing for that much talk.

Hey I was there....

and at least one person there got a personal best, but I'll let him tell his own story.

Yeah really weak turnout, and we picked kinda a crappy day to go since it was some sort of domestic eliminations points race, plus junior dragsters were also running. Would have been much better to go for just a plain test and tune day.

Track conditions were tough sice one lane was real slippery and the other was very grippy. Made launching a chore. On one side you'd sit there frying tires 'till third and on the other it would mean bogging badly. There simply wasn't enough passes to get use to it.

Best I could manage was a 14.3 at 100.5mph
This was at 15psi on pump. I guess thats decent considering track conditons and the 30C+ temps.

I was surprised to see only 3 DSMs racing. Oh well... hope some of that food kept till you got home and could refridgerate it .

I ran some more 13.1s but couldn't get a 12. So I will shut up about 12s. I also got my trap speeds up to the 111s again. On my last run I checked and found a fluid leak under the tranny ... not cool, bad flashbacks. Turns out it was only that the filler bolt backed out and it was leaking from that hole. I rigged up a special plug and drove her home without any troubles. I'll top it up, replace the bolts and keep checking for leaks.

13.1's ain't bad Mikey. Hell of a lot better than Kinnairdo in his "stupidfast" FWD

111 seems slightly low though? Or was this a pump gas thing? If so I take it back

That was on race gas. Remember I have an unported unlipped 16G. But I could not get it to hold more then 19~20 psi (I wanted 22). If I set the boost controller higher it would go up to like 22 but always drop right back down. I'll have to figure that one out (I've already been given an idea to try). Oh well.

On the way there I also did a short highway pull with a C5. I had all the tools and rims and my brother in the car (250~300 extra lbs total) and punched it from 110 km/hr without downshifting from 5th. It ended up being dead even until I let off. So I know now for sure she can handle C5s on the highway no problem under regular circumstances .

I guess that trany bolt wasn't worrying you that much lol.

No the tranny bolt incident happened at the track... the C5 on the way to thte track .

hi mike!

just wondering what kind of 1/4 numbers did you run before you got your LSD?

-nate

13.331 was my best I think, however, my launches were far less consistant without it. And I still haven't learned to launch with this LSD properly yet.
