meet in Macon--like last time?
I still havent heard from Julie. I dont know if they have received the voucher i sent in a few weeks ago. I e mailed her again yesterday for comfirmation.
As always I have some "new" things I have done (oldtinkermandragger)--one in particular that at this point has really affect coolant temps--more study needed for verification!
Await RB's midpipe! Again--Damn you Silver!!!
Did you ever remove yours? I hear the sound mellows somewhat after you run it a while--i also hear that if you put the stock catback on then it sounds good--not loud and no power lost. We are going to sound good coming down that front straight together

OD, now that's going to be fun having both of us with the mid-pipe. I did take mine off the day after I got back from Roebling. It is my plan to put it back on before Roebling if I have time.

OD, when is the mid-pipe going to be installed. Would be fun to have a little tuner session and put them in at the same time.

Silver---"sounds" good-- i am going to do mine a few days(at least) before that w/e. Maybe we can meet up the w/e before? Lets get an early start in case i have to go the shed a lot.
Silver is an expert by now or he will be shortly. He has the bug ---bad!
silver --ever get your pump installed?

Spoke to Chas this afternoon. It will be in soon. I've not had an opportunity to get over his way lately due to working 7 days a week lately. Free time has been a scarce commodity lately.

The front three nuts are the worst part of the whole install. once freed then the rest is a piece of cake. You might as well go ahead and get replacements before you get started. You may or may not need them but it's worth it to have them just in case. They're cheep and easy to get when your out and about but when the exhause is disconnected (or partially) then you will be saying dirty words. I didn't have a small torque wrence but you really need on to torque the back two to 20lbs and the front to 28lbs (I think). I just used my long *** handle one for two of the front nuts and then went by feel for the remainder. Since the o2 sensor connects back into the mid-pipe then that is a non issue. I do have the tool for that if you need to use it.

TA, OD's a glutton for punishment. He'll allow me to come over and entertain him with hours of fun doing what should take minutes.

Hey Dano - now that you have completed your first autocross, you should consider driving this event. After all, if you are going to come all the way to the track, you may as well get some real seat time.

Lets just say it is under consideration. You guys would be the first to know - and questions would be Pm'ed.

It was kinda fun being right out there, but I am too old and slow to be chasing cones, especially with speeding cars headed in my direction...
