My aunt was having trouble adopting a daughter, she is a social worker and her partner is a successful lawyer. I'm sure part of the problem was that she is gay, another thread perhaps. Her answer was going to China and getting one of the most beautiful baby girls I'd ever seen.

Love the way it sits. What is your suspension setup? Also, good to see someone who is not afraid of a little sidewall, I think it makes s30s look tough.

This is going to be my next project in white gloss professional. I will mix it with 20% Mineral Spirits. I'm also thinking of using their Rusty Metal Primer. Any one here try to use that primer?
I realize this was posted a while ago, but I might as well warn you. I painted my daily driver's hood with the white gloss early in the winter of '07. It was almost a perfect match with the factory white. Now, after seeing a lot of sun, it has taken on a little bit of a pink hue. I don't think it would be noticeable without the stock white there for reference, but it has changed.

I'm reading through the basic setup manual. So far I've gone through the settings for 6 cylinder applications. Now I'm here: http://www.msextra.com/manuals/MS_Extra_Basic_Configuration_Manual.htm#heisetting
I'm using the GM HEI, but it's a 4 pin. What is everyone else putting here?

I just realized that I am using the default spark settings.

Spark output is inverted. I take it I should change this? I was using using moby's settings before I reflashed the firmware and it was good for moving the car around the driveway.
Anybody have settings for 029y3 that will get me close again?
-
Will do, when I get home.

Well, I had to reinstall windows on my tuning laptop, and I didn't think to backup my old msq and megatune settings. I downloaded 2.25 again and even updated my firmware to 029y3. When I got everything back in the car and tried to start it up I only get one spark, as soon as I turn the key to on. After that, it won't spark while cranking. I noticed my HEI module is getting hot pretty fast. Does anybody know what's happening here?

Nice bike. What kind of gas mileage does it get?
-
Wow, when you said "sitting" I was not expecting a full on, feet off the ground, sit on your cowl. Crazy.

In general, I agree with you Wheelman.
I think it's hilarious when people sell their Camry for a Pruis. If protecting the environment is their "thing", they've failed. If saving money is their "thing", they've failed.

I had a friend sell his STR-4 Neon for an 89 Accord LXi and came out on top ~10k. You don't have to buy a new car to get good gas mileage. In fact, most older econoboxes get better gas mileage than modern ones. This is, of course, because they are tin cans. However, if it's tin cans your worried about, you are on the wrong site. lol.

Its called following the flow of traffic. You can get a ticket if you drive 5 or more below the speed limit if the flow is about 85. Its called restricting traffic. Kind of a oxymoron.
I'm with you on this, but it doesn't mean that you have to speed. I drive the speed limit and get dirty looks all day.

I get about 60 miles to the $3 on the bus. The high cost of oil will drive the search for alternative fuels, which is a good thing IMO.
this is what happens when jack***es on the road dont pay attention to their surroundings. 85mph into a wall on I-610 just outside New Orleans, LA. Riding bikes is a whole mess of fun, but its not about how well you can ride. People just dont care to watch for riders.Last time I was in NOLA the speed limit wasn't 85mph.
I'm willing to bet most of the responsibility falls on the rider in most bike accidents. Yet, it is always the cagers who need to be more diligent.

Yeah, speaking of desmodromic valves, DEVAS wouldn't be out of place on this engine...LOL
What's that, just another $50K...
The search to find out what the hell you're talking about led me to the Atlas F1 Bulletin Board which has a lot of great reading, so thanks!

There is some happy medium between flow and heat transfered. Slower air through the bars will result in cooler air. However, slower air would mean less flow. I think that an equation could be derived to show the equilibrium (perfect size), but in order to be effective it would have to consider the entire range of flow (inside and out).

Why the asymmetrical plenums?

Needs megasquirt.

I've been reading on the ecomodder forum that was linked here a few weeks ago and they have tons of members using block heaters and reporting fuel mileage gains.

I think making a plastic model and testing it would be a great idea
I've noticed that most OEM's and even some of the aftermarket are selling plastic manifolds as a finished product. It seems plastic would be lighter and allow for more complex designs. I haven't looked at production costs, but I would imagine they are comparable.

I remember shortly after 1 fast z's post about that LD intake prices shot up on Ebay to around $200!
Your work looks excellent.

Bryan, nice looking car. Once I get new injectors my car will be road ready. We should cruise.
My car is finally back on the road!
