I washed, used a clay bar, and waxed/buffed the balt.





It looks nice!

 

very nice.

 

I did the same thing earlier this week. Car looks good! Black is sexy. Steve, are you going out to the cruise? Im leaving shortly to head out.

 

What time is the cruise and where exactly is it.

 

Well I'm betting everyone is at the cruise now....

I'm beat and not heading out. Gotta get up early again...

placed 17th of 60 drivers...

 

hey guys, sorry we did not make it down to buffalo wild wings to join you guys after the cruise, we ended up bullshitting in the parking lot with some guys untill 10:30

 

It was good to hang out with everyone again!

Oh and Tim, that clip is HILARIOUS!!!!

 

Ya i could tell that you thought i was crazy when i was explaining it, but its one of those things that you have to see.

 

Hey guys I'm finally home for the summer, so maybe I'll finally get to hang out with you sometime. I'll keep checkin on here someon try and let me know when the next meet is, especially if its near moon/ Corey.

PS the Balt is getting washed tommorow because of all the dust and bugs from up at the rock so maybe pictures soon?

Wow.... sounds like a fun weekend.... I'm beat, sore and sun-burned, but was worth every minute...

Now I have a week off from cones so I can do some upgrades. 2 Weekends from now is EVO school ( no... not a school teaching how to drive an EVO... lol ) and then get to put the class in practice on 6/3... event #4.


Placed 17th overall Saturday out of 60+ drivers ( eh ... not bad )

Placed 22nd out of 94 drivers Sunday ( that's better )

took 1st Sat in my class, and 2nd Sunday ( Damn R32 VW... )

 

That's cool Brian.

I'm pissed I still have an exhaust leak. On Saturday, Dave helped switch the downpipe on my car to his old gutted-cat downpipe. Mine had some nice damage to the top flex-pipe portion. Thought that would fix the leak (hisssss)... but apparently not. I'm hoping the bolts just need tightened, but who knows. Maybe one of Jeff's welds busted. The funny part is this... my downpipe was a lot thinner than Dave's, so my exhaust sounds a lot different with that dp on it.

 

hmmmm sorry to hear. Hope it gets sorted out.

I'm too tired to think.

 

Haha... that rough of a weekend?

So I guess Al is off now for the week. Did someone say garage time?

 

Yes.... it was that rough. 400 Miles of driving between Friday and today. PLUS, being out in the sun for a total of 18 hours over 2 days, and running my ass off. I was a sucker and volunteered to help fill the thin spots on my 'rest' heats, and think I overdid it. I feel hungover and fuzzy.

Still better than a good day @ work.

 

just to let you guys know, phantom and i will be down at fuddruckers again tonight, to enjoy some $1 drafts and 25% off food... come join us

 

Matt... I'm about 50 / 50 on making it down. I'm exhuasted from this weekend and I think I might have gotten some sun stroke or something... I feel hungover, and didn't have a drink all weekend.

If I do make it down, I'll just be there as a photographer. Car = mess.

then again... me=mess.

 

Dan, you know where I'll be.

I need to go to pep girls for a different valve spring compressor. Mine wont fit an eco head. I need someone who can get these stupid clips in the new pistons. Wes got a couple then had to leave. I tried for 2 hours and couldn't get a single one installed. Also need someone to assist me in removing the passenger side hub. Can't drop the engine down far enough to get at the exhaust side balance shaft because the axle hits the subframe.

 

Go pickup my 3" dp from jeffs

 

Oh Dan, if you do plan on coming down later, call me first. Theres a slim chance that redline Dan may have got 2 exhaust cams and I have 2 intake ones. I'll explain when I talk to you.

 

aww common brian

ill be finishing up in monroeville sometime around 4, and heading down...

sitting on mt view right now if you want to look for the tiger! haha jk

 

Dan, look out for the reach around...

 

Theres a lube dispenser located at the entrace of the garage. You know......for car related lubrication.

 

Interceptor's working.

Getting some knock (2.xx at high RPMs), which I bet is due to high IAT2s.

I spiked at 185F IAT2 after a few hard runs. With that extra h/e, and (hopefully) the system all bled, that doesn't seem right. Time to consider the i/c pump, maybe?

Would be almost interesting to see if my i/c pumps been ****, and I still post times in the 13s lol.

 

Real men don't need lube.

 

Well, it's looking like it's ready to POUR here. The air smells like rain as well.

I'm debating on it right now, and we'll see. I need to get some rest, and waaa waaaa waaaaaa


If I don't make it... don't hate me ( at least not anymore than I am now....lol )
