I have one i am not using right now. its a 2gb SD card. free to whoever wants it. first come first serve. Will get it to you at Docs BBQ on Sept 12 or you can pay for shipping.

oh ya... i just pwned page 69!

 

How has their service been for you?

 

I WANT!!!!
Is it MicroSD?

 

I think whoever was taking pics on Sunday managed to catch my first cone murder.



It may have only been an assault since I didn't hear it get knocked off but one pic later you can see someone running at where I'd been:



Shame they didn't catch my next run where I brutally murdered one of the cones in that slalom. That one went flying.

 

here's something i was wondering about all weekend, what are these two blanks used for? Did they ever have a purpose or used in a foreign market model? I know sometimes cars overseas have different options than what we see in the States.

Ya, i did a search but all i found were things others had come up with for alternative uses for the blanks.

 

ryan did a great job this weekend!

 

Far as I know they are only blanks.
You can remove them to add additional switches/buttons.

 

Yep and i have an adapter and case to go with it. it's all yours. Pic below if you wanted to see it.

As for S Arlington Park, they've always been real good to me. Bought my honda from them in 1998 (was the honda group then, mazda wasnt aroundyet) and they were great. Bought my Tibby from them as well and they were great. havent had my 8 in there yet but i have no doubts about the service i will receive.

My parents have purchased both of their cars from the Park Honda group as well (which was why i went there) and they've always been treated very well.

 

I have 3 blanks on my car. No DSC. Sometimes I push them anyway.

I believe one is for the rear-foglight option on Euro/Asian models. Not sure if the 4th was ever used.

 

Awesome.. now I can upgrade the 512MB microSD that's in my cellphone!
Thanks man!

 

Thanks again for the pointers Doc. I went from 55 (and an off course) to a 49.1 on the final run which would have been competitive in BS against other street tire guys (tho my car should have an edge in every other category).

Went from a ~58 or so to only a 56 the first course so either you were responsible for the big improvement that second course or the hangover was responsible for the suck on the first one. Your call.

 

I read something on the forums somewhere about each time you disconnect the battery you need to rotate the wheel from lock to lock to get it to reset. Did anyone else read this or hear about it?


What is PB blaster? I have no idea what that is.

I'm thinking I'll just find some new nuts and bolts and torch the thing right off.


Doc, Thats it for the Auto X this season, correct? I still want to try to get into that in the spring when it starts back up and I have my car in a place where I am happy with it. -Stereo, exhaust, short shifter maybe-

I don't think I'll be able to make the BBQ though, which I am not happy about... I say everyone should change their schedule around me.

 

Yes... you will need to perform this every time your battery is disconnected.

Its a spray (like WD40) to help with rusted bolts.
I use it at work. Just give it a good soak, let it sit for a few minutes, then rock the bolt back and forth.

You can get it pretty much everywhere (Autozone, Walmart, etc.). Make sure you get the 'penetrating catalyst' version but it's incredibly effective. It was all that was needed when my exhaust was pulled off with 32.5k miles on it.

There's an even in 2 weekends during the Steelers game and apparantly one more event at Northfield on the 21st. I may make it to that one if it's just a morning event. I'd love to have one event with my car prepped the way I wanted it to run.

 

Events run through the middle of October. After that the weather gets pretty dicey.

Here's the local calendar I know of:

9/7-Toledo
9/14-Lakeland
9/21-Northfield
10/12-Lakeland or there's one in Fostoria a lot of people are going to

 

Hey John. He didn't have the pads in stock but he'll drop ship them from the factory (shippings only $5). You can have the front pads I already have and I've got my old set of stock pads with 20k miles on them if they don't get in in time and you want to replace your rears for the run. Can swap them to the ceramics after.

I need the practice anyway since I'll be swapping my pads at least 4 times in October.

 

Ryan,

Can you show me how to do that (the brake pads)?

 

Is anyone planning to go to the 9/21 date in Northfield? I'd like to come watch that one before I jump in and drive.

Does anyone else normally go and watch? I know John goes and shoots some nice photos.

 

We can do it at the barbeque. John's car can be the first of the night up on stands.

I've never done it before by myself and have only helped change pads on my truck a year or two ago. It's allegedly very easy as long as you have the proper tools. 10 minutes or so a wheel. I'll have everything we need so at that point it's just a matter of fudging our way through it. It's not like we need to stop or anything...

 

Depending on the weather I plan on being there for the morning session. I won't be there in the afternoon though. Gotta watch the Browns game at 1.

If you can find a helmet you can ride along and learn what not to do on an AutoX course.

 

I have a full face motorcycle helmet? Could work? Or must I have a Snell sticker on it somewhere?

. . . ebay: " Snell sticker"

 

I'll be there on 9/21 and yes, you need a snell sticker. If your moto helmet is relatively new, it would be ok.

Nobody checks passengers anyway. Only drivers. If you're gonna do this, you'll need the helmet anyway!

 

How did I get nominated to go first?

 

the guy said "We need a volunteer, please step forward." Everyone stepped back while you weren't watching. WINNER!

 

sheeeeit...with my fat *** I was at a disadvantage from the get go. Im at least two of you and probably three of Ryan.
