Re: 68 CDN going to be all like JDM yo!

I have cleverly designed into my suspension the amount of setting change due to body flex.........

Re: Noobie's 510 project

I could sense Norm's car was a potential hazard. That's why I was always 15 car lengths behind you guys on that Whidby island trip.
I'm all about the safety. :mrgreen:

Re: 2.3L of fun

Regarding the hoist thing, depending on ceiling height, mine were too low for a full size lift so I went with the Max Jax.
Portable and stores into a small area. One of the best investments I ever made in this hobby.

X10 on the AFR meter.
I used the Innovate to tune the triples in my car and got it tweaked well enough to pass our infamous aircare here in BC.

Then immediately went home and tuned it properly. :mrgreen:

Re: OctoberFast 2015

Since this has turned into a hypermiling event I inflated all my tires to 55PSI and installed 3 super turbulator airflow interuptors on my triple Webers. Guy at Lordco promised 65MPG :wink:

Re: OctoberFast 2015

Geez Keith, I confirmed early so Norm would save me a spot on his Hawaii trip. I hope this isn't jeopardized now :mrgreen:

I realize I don't drive one of those shoeboxes you guys are so fond of but I promise to keep some distance so I don't drag everyone else down ;)

Re: OctoberFast 2015

Norm,

Those things have no tread left.
If you leave them at my place I'll slip you 50 bucks and save you a trip to the recycling depot.
Just tryin to help here.
