  1. I think Shaggy and I are of a similar outlook. It's not skill that's being questioned, rather risk. In other words, the 'ballerina' is risking a few bruises and a couple broken bones. The 1st video, on the other hand, the rider is risking much, much, much more.

     

    I'm an autocrosser. I'm pretty good at it. But, there is little risk. The 'initiation fee' becomes 'manageable to the masses' when consequences are reduced to inconveniences.

     

    The discipline is worlds apart.

  2. For what its worth...

     

    The classic shape associated with a drop (with a pointy end in its upper side) is actually an optical effect due to light reflections and the drop's rapid movement. The shape of a drop falling through a gas is actually more or less spherical. Larger drops tend to be flatter on the bottom part due to the pressure of the gas they move through.
  3. De-greased the slimy bugger...

    BRAAP donated the only structurally straight parts car on the property, a '75 (thanks!). Dropped in the S52 and gearbox, and bolted up the trans mount. Fits well, mostly...

    Heater lines look workable...

    Oil pan is going to clear...

    With the front of the motor sitting on the steering rack, I rigged up an adjustable mag-base and laser pointer. Spun the output shaft by hand and adjusted the base until the circle became small enough to be useful...

    Prognoses?... The laser intersects the pinion flange about 1 5/8" too low, and the digital level says the diff and engine are within one-tenth of a degree of each other. Not only does the front of the motor need to come down, so does the nose of the diff.

  4. Congrats :cheers:

     

    I caught myself doing something that I think made it worse; not switching off and re-setting the ECU AFTER making changes to sequencing etc..

     

     

    Yeah, that post got deleted. I'll add that note to the sticky...

  5. Hey does the v500 actually control boost. As in i don't need a boost controller?

     

    Yes, open loop.

     

    ok whats the difference between the Wolf V500 Plugin Kit and the Wolf V4X Plugin Kit.

     

    besides 500 bux. Is it just the older vs the newer?

     

     

    V4X is a newer release, odd as it sounds. It will run a 6 or 8 in a 'wasted' configuration, but it specifically target's the 4cyl market.

  6. Do they still have the memory chip??? you can have several differnt tunes by just pulling out one card and plugging in another.

     

    That ended with V4. V500 has two switchable mapping systems, built in.

     

    I might know where there is a well cared for V4+ system for sale, and the 'cards' are still available. Want me to check on it?

  7. I want something that will plug directly into the rb26 stock engine harness and control everything and have inputs for nitrous, control boost ect ect.

     

    Wolf3D can fill that bill.

     

    also needs to datalog.

     

    Technically, Wolf datalogs. However, I'm not crazy about it. A bit clunky in my opinion. To Wolf's credit, it's *always* logging... you capture data 30 seconds before you hit "record".
