Andy maybe you could take some time to take pictures and draw up a feasability report on your car. Or maybe just tow it somewhere that they can work on it??

Howbout if this thread catches my favorite thread you have to finish the car?

The "Goose" I assume is Andrew's car.
AKA "Mongoose"
I believe it is at least driving again.
I doubt it is "finished" I don't think and DSM is ever done.
And as for this thread catching Waldo's, check when this thread started. It kills in the "longjevity" factor.

But his is a trash-talking thread.
and I can't make fun of anyone cuz well when they have been getting faster I've been replacing engines.

Hmm maybe we can have a DSM tug-o-war.
anyone slower that a 13.5 that I can make fun of?

I can't believe what I'm reading... it's alive???

Tim, I've only got a best of 14.3. Gawd I need to get my ass out to the track.

Don't know if it's "finished", but it sure looks nice!! I was thinking Andrew might have brought it out to Yorkdale today, and thought PPG might be there to get some pats on the back..

Well, it's sort of done. Or was.
Most things I wanted to do, are done, and it was back on the road.

Was.

Stupid POS fuel pressure gauge on the SX FPR, blew apart at the end of a pass.
Sprayed 112 octane everywhere, made a mess.

I'm lucky the car didn't catch on fire.
Stupid POS gauge... I put a call in to Buschur, to warn him to stop selling them with the SX.

Anyhow, I couldn't come today, because it now also has a massive exhaust leak.
I suspect, that my required immediate shutdown because of the fuel, left the manifold and turbo exhaust housing too hot, and they have warped.

Pisses me off.

Drove it two days, and now it's off the road indefinitely again.

F@cking car.


It was going so nicely too... just got the boost controller set up, was adjusting air/fuel, dropping a tenth in the 1/4, with each pass...

-sigh-

f#cking car...

What did it run Andrew?

not sure... 12.8 or 12.7 @ 110 or somewhere around there. Slips are in the car on the floor somewhere.

Good for the first passes in a while, apparently a long while... =)

Hey you put a LOT of work into it.....a new gauge and an exhaust leak doesn't sound that bad...If it is just some warpage, and if can figure out how to hold it, I know someone who does machining

...well, at the moment, I'm cleaning the workbench.

(it's theraputic)

Perfect way to express your anger constructivly. (sp)

Yes cleaning of benches and work spaces do wonders for releiving stress.

And so does smashing stuff!

Shep is in the 7's, so you're still f'n slow.

11.8's is faster than that brand new 997 you've got

and it didn't cost me a mortgage size amount!!

I think it's cost you the amount of my mortgage so far. Remember last time you started adding it up? Remember how long ago that was? Remember how much you've spent since then?

Ghetto may be slower (for now) but I'm one turbo away from whooping your ass.

(Anyone got a 20G I can borrow??)

Bring it on.

Hehehe..I'm close....13.49@102....but thats about it.

Living with a DSM is almost like living with an Alfa Romeo. Piece of unreliable crap, but when you have a nice day and it (finally) decides to work well, its heaven on earth (I can never forget the exhaust note).

I've lived with an Alfa for a good part of a year, so having a DSM is almost a honeymoon....despite what other ppl might say about it.


..I still think Mark spent more than a 977...really. Factor in inflation and such.......

SLOW?
SLOW?

You guys abuse me for FOUR GODDAMN years saying I am a sh!tty driver this and blah blah that.

I finally runs some solid 11's and now it's that I spent too much?

I've got about $20,000 worth of mods. That might seem like a lot BUT! I've had the car 13 years. Thats about $1500 a year in mods. Can any of you say you HAVEN'T spent about that much every year on mods?

Christ Dennis, you've spent OVER $100,000 on a car. I may be in deep, but holy cow!!

It don't matter I'll kick your ass at a round track too, not just the straight kind

Its a tough group eh Mark.

woohoo I gots a top -o- page. Oh shoot wrong thread

Wow I am posting from an apple computer and this stuff is tough to work with. Havent used a mac since grade 8 and this &#& is confusing!

They still make Macs? I use to have a 512 and an SE.

Back in the day I used the original mac with an 8inch ish screen and only a floppy drive. Macs are used at school for alot of the creative studies students for music production/graphics design/video editing... More stable I believe.
slick interfaces on whatever I was using.

Blah blah blah...
Macs are too easy.
You're not cool unless you started out with one of these!

What the hells that a commadore?

Vic-20, son.

This is the first computer I remember using, Still think its funny how it used tapes to load.

That pet is too integrated for my liking, and it doesn't do colour!
Plus, you don't have to type the program out before you run it.

And, you could use tapes with it but that's cheating

Anyhow, you guys are gonna piss the oldtimers off with all this off-topic in their check check thread.
If you don't think your hardware can beat in the 1/4, they don't wanna hear about it

I cut my teeth on an Atari ST

What are you guys doing posting this stuff in the Check check thread?! I thought this was supposed to be a smack-talking thread! tsk. tsk.

Edit: Should have read Rob's post more carefully!

Don't make this fast guy hit the delete button on all you slow guys



p.s. I've used all those damn Commadores in grade/highschool. (god I'm old!)

load a:/loderunner
run

Hey Mark don't let that 11 sec time slip get to your head now. You may have the power now, but we're knipping at your heels, just waiting for you to stumble. Theres a bunch of us youngins just waiting to get some respect.

Whats loadrunner?? Some kind of game?

I thought it had something to do with Shat and jogging?

http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,7256,00.asp

Yeah, it was a game for the 64. Back in the early 80's...goddamn I'm old

Now back to Steve and Andy being slow....

What is this "a:" business?

What about the ",8,1"?

That's more like it!

My second computer was a 1040ST.. pretty advanced machine for its time

But it all started for me with this beast: ColecoVision ADAM Dual tape drives beeyotch!

Usher, one of the requirement's to be able to post in this thread is having a DSM that run's.
No go back out to the garage and break some more bolt's on your HomeDepot orange podercoated suspension.
You should take Andy B as an anti-role model, once powdercoatitis hit's it's about 4 year's before the car get's running. Oh but he had a 2g and was able to remove part's without braking them.
The one good thing is bu the time you get the car running you won't hve to worry about an E-test or anything like that, I think after 20 year's or so you don't need one, maybe you can get some of those historic vehicle plate's as well.
