    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    I'm just getting back into town from a 1.2k mi. round trip. Got 350.5 GPS-verified miles out of the last tank down to 1/8. Took 13.09 gallons for an avg of 26.8 mpg on 87 octane. View: https://youtu.be/hHmq5J4zEuk?si=5tfzysRMNHpKB1Nu

    Wouldn't have guessed that. Good to know.

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    OCI: 94.8k: Oil change (Mobil 1 0W-40) in preparation for a 1.2k round trip to Fort Knox, this week, for work. Corbeau fixt & reinstalled: Also, I got the Corbeau GTS II back from the furniture shop with better padding in the knee bolster area, and Ahail also shaved 3/4 of an inch of material...

    Progress Thread Father Time: High-$ anti-dent defense system

    With Father Time back from PPF on the hood, top of front fenders, front bumper, rear bumper, and splash panels behind all tires, there's nothing, really, to take any pics of. But in my 2-car + golf cart garage, parking gets a little tight. So, I came up with an anti door ding defense system...

    Engine Radiator with no shroud provision... What to do?

    I returned it. Well, no one needs a spare radiator. But, I don't need the car to be down for 2 weeks or whatever it's going to take between dropping the Ron Davis off 2 hours away, at the closest shop available to me that does these kind of repairs, and having the time to get back out and pick...

    Engine Radiator with no shroud provision... What to do?

    Thanks, guys. Ugh. The point if getting this damned thing was to make taking the Ron Davis for repair easier, and only subsequently have something on the shelf to replace on any of the cars, when needed again. Should've just got some local POS radiator off of bookface.

    Engine Radiator with no shroud provision... What to do?

    So, your old griffin might be like the one in Grover, which has the provision this one lacks. That's why I didn't look closely when I ordered it. I didn't even know this was a thing.

    Engine Radiator with no shroud provision... What to do?

    For reference, here's how my Mark VIII fan is currently mountend and you can see why that won't work with the Griffin:

    Engine Radiator with no shroud provision... What to do?

    So, I decided that I wanted a Griffin radiator to use in any of my cars if I ever need to take out one of the radiators already installed for repair. i.e. right not, Black Jack has a Ron Davis radiator, which is something like an $1k radiator now, and I want to pull it out & take it to an...

    Fox Xtremely high fuel consumption

    I see good silicone squeeze on either the top or bottom side pretty much everywhere. I don't suspect it of leaking. I don't see any silicone on the lower-to-head gaskets, which I normally like to do, but the Felpro 1250s are usually fine. Nothing obvious here, to me.

    Fox Xtremely high fuel consumption

    If this is a converted auto to manual trans car, you cannot wire up an A9P & A9L interchangeably, without harness modification. He was right to point out that the wiring harness needs to be modified to ensure the O2 sensors pin into the EEC correctly. You'll have to search that one, as I've...

    Fox Xtremely high fuel consumption

    I'm sorry I missed that and glad others saw it. A lot is still not adding up, but yes, something is wrong if you're at 39 psi plugged in. This is likely already over fueling by ~10%. The computer should be able to trim that much back out, but with everything else going on, there's n9 telling...

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    After skipping a year, I went to my first autocross, today. I placed 4th of 5 in CAM-T, just ahead of a Van, lol. It was my least competitive day, to date, but it really isn't about competition to me. I just enjoy driving the car. This go-round, there were more cars than I'd ever seen, and...

    Fox Xtremely high fuel consumption

    Wideband O2 gauge. Some way to datalog the computer. This will absolutely shed light on what's happening. $500-600 is probably more than you need to make it happen. $200 for a WBO2. Like 250-300 for a quarterhorse. Then, IIRC, tunerstudio is free, or you can buy Binary Editor, if that's...

    Fox Xtremely high fuel consumption

    Quarterhorse is like $250 and available through Moates.

    Fox Xtremely high fuel consumption

    9.5 mpg just doesn't make sense from a fueling perspective. If we figure your combo for a worst-case 16mpg expected, then you're using ~68% more fuel than you should be. So, where you should be seeing close to stoich at ~14.7:1 during light throttle/cruise operations, you'd actually be seing...

    Fox Xtremely high fuel consumption

    With that kind of mileage it isn't *just* a tune issue, though you should check for the presence of a J3 port chip in your computer and remove it *with key off* if one is there. You have some kind if a load issue. You said your brakes aren't dragging and you'd know it if they were, but there...

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    Almost every post of mine is about some fix, work, or update log. Today, I just wanted to say how thrilled I am to be enjoying this car. I'm just taking the moment to acknowledge that it's such a fun car, and I'm really enjoying the street manners with the new shocks. No, not everything is...
