Whenever's good for you.

Me and Dan are shooting for 830...900...930...somewhere around there to get the fuel pump in.

Give me a call. 387-1016

 

I'll come up the hill between 9:30 and 10:00.
see you then.

 

Have a good day installing.

 

I hope your guy's day went better than ours.

 

I heard it's going great! Fired up and rarin' to go! We gonna see you out at the track, Pat?

Sorry I couldn't make it - but I did manage to get 1 of the 2 servers built that I need to put up by Monday. I can take a break and make some dragstrip passes tonight as my reward I figure!

I have some questions about dragstrip UTEC logging that I hope you can help me with.

-Richard

Ralph,
What happened?

Richard,

You're telephonic help was crucial. Gracias.

Wes,

You're a prince. Seriously, next time you need anything I'm asking you as a favor to me, to give me a ringading. Dude, you were like a machine. Everytime I found myself BS'ing, I'd look over and you were under the hood.

Same thing goes for everyone who came over today. At some point in time, pretty much everybody has unscrewed me or set me straight. Dan, Sean, Mike, Ed, Jayson, and Richard (for your perusals of my logs over email); y'all already have my immense gratitude for something(s) you've helped me with at some point or other. Josh and Greg. Same goes for you. Thanks for showing up and helping me out. You see how much everyone enjoys helping each other out, so if you've got something to install, big or small, you know you've got help.

Mike,

I took the main LAN cable off of the router and hooked it straight into the main computer. It looks as if I do have 2 cards like I thought. It seems as if the 'NET Adapter' card was overriding my IP settings. Whatever that other adapter is, it was telling my computer to use a set IP for always. As soon as I reset the cable modem and restarted the computer, Zone Alarm told me that I had a new IP. That other adapter is still set to the initial IP that I had, but apparently it has no bearing on what the IP is any longer.

I know that that was hard to follow.

Lastly, Richard (if you read this before going to the track),

Like I said, the white smoke went away after about 10 min. I uploaded the "St4VF30TMI@17psi" map from the wrxhackers website. No knock. Started out with like 12-13psi for UTEC MAP readings, so at the urging of Sean and Ed, I upped the ABC a total of 4 turns. It pushed me up to low low 16 psi. I'll show you my logs that I had from the test run.

Thanks again, everyone.

 

So Pat, how did the car feel?

I think I'm a better Griller and Modifier.

 

one wheel burn outs, no smoke burn outs, rev limiter bouncing like there's no tomorrow. oh and did I mention there were cops...

 

With 4 people in the car, it was noticably giving me a kick in the pants. Just like when I drove Wes' car, I get to redline very very quickly. I can't say for certain, but unlike when I drove Wes' and Jayson's cars, I felt somemore noticable lag (and I'm not talking about when I bogged it either, Sean). I guess the extra lag is to be expected, though.

All in all, I think I'm very happy. It's nice to be able to pound on it directly after installing it.

Thanks for your culinary expertise as well as your mechanical help. You know, if it weren't for you, I'd half-*** my way through everything I install on the car. It's that ADHD.

 

New personnal best, but I think I disappointed V Rod.

13.823 @ 96.92 with a 1.847

Also, hopefully I'm first to report. Kawshon broke 12.9. AWESOME!!!

 

WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

 

Good Job! How much boost were you running?

 

Mainly 15lbs, but it was pretty consistent 15.

Hey, it's 1015 right now. I'm still waking up. I'm probably gonna call you around 1100.

Any interest in doing this over at Mike's? I don't know if the compressor will fit in my WRX, and I'd need your help to get it in the car. I might be able to talk Kath into driving it over there in the Explorer.

Pat

 

All right! Congrats Pat and Wes.

 

Again,

Muchos Mahalos go out to Dan, Mike, Sean, Jayson, and Ed.

Flex's are in. EDFC tomorrow. Endlinks tomorrow. Cut resonator tomorrow.

I can easily get 1 finger in my front wheel well. Think I did some major rubbing...mainly because I'm a dumbass and shouldn't have been driving it in the first place; at least not until I raise it a bit. Patience was never one of my strengths.

Thanks again, Ralph, for the advice. I'll still be needing more because I am still learning what settings and stuff.
