Alky guy's "whats happening" ??

[Grumpy]

Been quiet in here since BG I know..I know .. everyone the didn't make it to BG was bummin but that was a few months ago !! Got Melissa's car running a few weeks ago. She now has her OWN motor and the old one is back sitting in the Mazda ( who knows when THAT will run :biggrin: ) Made a few changes in her car to "try" .. IF they don't work I was told she was goin to steal MY other parts back damm woman .. oh .. her new place that she bought in Feb ( her DREAM HOUSE ) that I have been painting and working on.. Time to sell it and MOVE again .. I think she is like me with cars .. Here today gone tomorrow because I found something I like better
Just goin to drive her car as a beater for a while .. Dial it in on the street and see how the new "stuff " acts on the street.. Car is goin on a weekend drive/beating this long weekend :biggrin:
ok wake up and let hear all of the new "hallucinations"

Sounds like your in BWS(Boost Withdrawal Syndrome).

Easy fix.. lay the hammer down and get those knuckles to turn white

well we did drive it over 600 miles so far since last week .. Long weekend starting tonight Just have to put one more "thing" on and then its ready for some beatings
Chassis guy is stopping over here next week to look at the rack an pinion in the Mazda.. with the SFI stuff on the motor its really close to the rack .. Have to do some tweaking .. I do HAVE to get this running NOW .. Loosing interest (oh lookin at ANOTHER car ) this crap NEVER ends :biggrin:
"BWS" nah... she leaves her car here for me to "play" with .. although she won't let me put the dog in the back seat

[TURBO 6]

Heading to the track in couple of weeks. Hopefully the "changes" I made will be for the better. After confirming I have enough turbo to reach my goal, I'm planning on turning the boost and timing up big time.

 

[Turbo F-bird]

I'm waiting for you to clear some time so we can go to the track with my car Dan. That's unless you tell me to change some more stuff at the last minute again. Put a CK servo in the Buick this weekend though. Shifts good!

I put the alky on the Sunbird this weekend too. Woohoo! Gotta take that to the track soon too.

Dan's babysitty service has been closed for a while I just want to work on my Mazda ( that's a job in itself !!) and driving Melissa's around having fun. .. that's it !!! I really I don't have the time or interest OR THINKING about playing with any other cars.. You have a really nice 38k car .... Car "SHOULD" run EASY mid 12s!! BUT its your car not mine .... Go to the track and get some seat time and watch for no knock .. turn the boost up slowly .. there ya go.. now ya don't have to go up in the "critiques" section and ask me

 

[Turbo F-bird]

So that's how it's gonna be huh? Okay.
Next time I have a 25,000 mile old lady Regal for $200 I'm calling everyone but you Mr. Busy.

If your goin to throw the BS get it straight.. It was $500 for that 1978 beauty oh its NOT Mr Busy..It's Mr Idontwannahearit ..OR Mr Idon'twannathink Then MAYBE I can get my OWN junk Mazda RUNNING !!

ok back to the original post .. Drove Melissa's beater over the long weekend .. Sure does bring a smile to your face Still waiting for a single part then it gets some beatings

 

[Turbo F-bird]

As I recall it it was $225 for that deal of the century. What'd you do tip her when I wasn't looking cuz you felt bad? So now you're senile as well as anti-social? Geez....

You don't recall clearly.. your loosing it .. I am NOT anti social !! I am Grumpy from people who question what I want to do to a car to make it GO .. You know everything so why bother an old Grumpy man ?? So stop flapping on the keyboard and go RACE the car RACE THE CAR RACE THE CAR RACE THE CAR ..(just in case it takes a little to sink in your head)

 

[Turbo F-bird]

I'm getting the feeling you want me to race the car without you. Is that correct?

 

[Grumpy]

anyone with "updates" ??? beating Melissa's up every day .. prob won't race until sept.. hey it's goin to be in the 90s with high humidity for the rest of the week here.. Just driving the hell out of it .. Goin to the drags and then cruisin to the beach tonight .. She made the mistake of leaving it here at MY house Although she had it for the long weekend and piled up some mileage on it ..BUT she is rich and can afford the gas.

 

[TURBO 6]

I'm supposed to be going this Sunday. Bringing extra boost with me this time. Also got a can of "torque converter slip be-gone", poured it in the tranny.

YOU think it's hot????????? I shouldn't even be going to the track in this weather.

Its hot down in New Orleans??? It feels great where I live at.

 

[Grumpy]

HOT here to.. changing the shifter "U" bracket .. what a fun day although it was better than yesterday when I had to "play" plumber

 

[Boston GN]

Dan, question for ya...
Where are you guys buying Methanol around here?

 

[Scott89TTA]

Gone through a couple of tanks of meth in the TTA the last few weeks just driving around and tweaking...seen 26 lbs a couple of times and no knock...wow this stuff is great!!! New LT1 MAF and Translator just came so I need to get them installed this weekend and return the borrowed MAF then i can play some more. Hope to take the car down to Anderson's and have Billy go over it on the dyno Then off to the track to learn how to use the trans brake

 

[Turbo F-bird]

Dan, question for ya...

I tried Home Depot and Lowes (I read you could get it there) with no luck. So I bought a 5 gallon can at Dennis K. Burke over the counter. If you're not familiar with them they're in Chelsea near the East Boston line. If they give you any trouble I can get it for you through my company. Now that my Sunbird and Buick are both on Alky I may have to buy another can soon myself!

 

[Grumpy]

Then off to the track to learn how to use the trans brake

what do ya have for a rear end in that baby ??
