lots of running around today
Early in the morning my friend joe drove up from MD to go on a bike ride, even though it was a little cold, we went thru at least a half a tank of gas screwing around. Met up with Ryan and eventually Tom and Ben came in the duramax diesel. Dropped off the bikes at my house and took the cars, Stopped at toms house first, apparently they finished the t88 supra and were touching up the idle. Someone forgot to tighten the cam belt cover or whatever holds the belt from slipping off, im not sure what it is, haha. Either way the figured it out and had the car out on the street, Things were awry as you would expect, they just threw the car together in the last few days, oil leaks and a problem with the wastegate being at the top of the list. We had to leave and go help corey install a clutch in costas's supra. Installing snap rings in a supra pressure plate is a 3 man job, we got them in and quickly enough the trans went in with the help of ryan and corey crawling under and jamming it in place. Vince brought down costas at 1130 to pickup the supra, started it up and walah, wouldent you know it everything was working fine, we rolled out with the corey's cobra, the 350z, Vinces cobra, and costas's newly installed clutch, not to mention he has a t67 boost logic kit with less than 800 mi on it. The cruise was a sucess, sat in the cold at sheetz and drank hot chocolate and coffee. Dyno day is tomorrow, some supras, and possibly a duramax diesel (ben if he doesnt break the dyno) will all get runs!
More news, pics video etc, of the dyno event tomorrow. Later Kiddies.
