You can show up between noon and 1 then run the afternoon only. $25 if you already have a BSCC membership.

i dont have a membership. plus the controls on my seat are still broken... so i cant adjust the drivers seat at all that wouldnt really work out so well... but i really do want to go

 

^ excuses. and lame ones at that.. at least mine is valid.

 

pbbbtttthhhhhh

 

so i wanna go climbing in the north cascades on sat. hwy 20 ftw but my partner just bailed.. now i need to find someone else..

 

I can sit at the bottom of the rock and cheer you on while I sit in the car eating? DOes that help?

 

lol. the carpark is like 2 hours away from where i start climbing

 

id go but yeah lol

 

Minor setback...I'll borrow a segway and make my way up.

 

So they setup a course that uses almost all of the runway. It's long and it's fast, I spun at like 60, lol. Videos tomorrow or when I have time.

 

Well I am super demoralized. Based on that hot start just now I'm probably getting a new engine.

 

lol +1!

 

What did it do?

 

One hot start or a bunch?

I just got my 8 back from UMazda today. No new engine, despite the issues I had on the Vegas trip and the few hot starts I had starting last summer. They said everything is in spec (I brought my compression numbers from when Mike and Shaun checked them) and I just needed new sparkplugs. They said the coils are good though. The rough idle is gone, but we'll see how it goes. It's hard for me to tell how much power I have, because I've spent the last couple of days zipping effortlessly around in a Mazda6 .

Ugh.. I paid a fortune for everything (they did my brakes too) and I know you guys will give me ****, but with everything going on in my life (lost my sister), I just don't have the brain capacity to coordinate other options. Oh well...

 

Well, so it one was one really rough start, cranked for maybe 5 pr 6 seconds. I'd had something similar happen maybe 3 or 4 weeks before. I dunno, it didn't feel down on power afterwards. Leon suggested I could've flooded it?

 

yeah mine is acting up again on the starts... but i have new plugs new coils and a new engine.. wtf is giong on... and my car is running REALLY hot.. anyone have a idea?

 

Nick - I've had that happen 3 times in the last year. Two when it was really hot outside and once when it was sort of hot, but I'd been driving a lot that day - stops and starts. I've never heard of anyone flooding a hot engine, only starting it cold and shutting if off before it warms up. I think if you would have flooded it, you would have had a lot more problems getting it started. But what do I know :P

Nate - Holy crap! I think you're a lightning rod for catastrophe

 

Yah... I'm honestly not very optimistic
