    San Diego cruise July 10th????

    I'd like to but it's been a tiring week and sleeping in looks like a good option.

    Question for San Diego area Stangers..about car wash stalls

    It's 2 traffic lights west of Midway, probably about 1/4 mile away. It's on the corner of Rosecrans and Lytton, right behind the Arco station, across from NTC. It's not pretty or high tech, but it always works. FYI I live right near the corner of Midway and Rosecrans. I'm moving into Liberty...

    There's one on Rosecrans in Point Loma near the old Naval Training Center.

    San Diego cruise July 10th????

    Yeah, you're not going to avoid the sport bikers. The area is swarming with them. Last weekend I drove to El Centro via Julian and I was following a pack of them east of Julian on the 78. They were riding pretty spiritedly, but I kept up with them the whole time! But if you get there early...

    San Diego cruise July 10th????

    Sorry I missed the Q and dyno day, but I'm tentatively down with this. I love driving the backroads of SD. Here's a route that my friends and I took a few months ago. I can attest that these roads are REALLY fun, especially Highland Valley, Mesa Grande, and Palomar Mtn. This whole route...

    S.D. dudes, The Q ?

    I'll probably show up. Not sure what I'm doing that weekend though. BTW, you don't need a full face helmet at the Q (or Carlsbad). Any old DOT helmet will do. I bought mine from South Bay Motorsports for $30. It's a POS but it does the job.

    JBA Dyno Day June 26th

    Wow, flame war. I won't be going. For one I'll be busy that weekend, and two as some of you have mentioned comparing results from different dynos is kind of pointless. I've dynoed my car twice at the Dyno Shop in Santee and will go there again after my next modification (and hopefully when it's...

    S.D. dudes, The Q ?

    Yeah the Q is fun for racing, but not good for getting accurate times for your car. Most people get horrible traction there (except Mr. Cowbell). I'm heading to C'bad this Saturday to try and get some better times. Then again C'bad isn't the greatest either!

    San Diego Guys

    Absolutely. You guys have a great service by putting the info on the website and I'm not trying to badmouth you at all. I was just a little bummed to not get printouts and/or graphs posted on the site for both runs like I did the first time I dynoed my car through you last year (I think it was...

    San Diego Guys

    I called the shop directly and they don't keep the info for both runs. I'm SOL. :shrug:

    Questions for Barona racers

    Do they race every weekend? The schedule on their website is sort of vague. I'd love to race out there but I'm afraid they'll laugh at my slow street car.

    San Diego Guys

    I went to the last dyno day set up at The Dyno Shop in Santee. Everyone there seemed to be a bit disappointed with their results (one guy got 20+ more HP on JBA's dyno!) but then again it was like 93 with 60% humidity that day, so I probably can't blame the shop The only thing I didn't like...

    Can I exchange a 2.25 rack to a 2.50 one?

    Someone is feeding you a load. I work for a company that only sells steering parts. The 2.25 and 2.5 racks are the same rack. Only difference is the 2.25 has throw limiters installed on the rack gear.

    Low oil pressure after head swap. Ideas?

    Here: I tried to scrape as much off the engine as possible (I had a ton sitting on my headers as proof) using a razor blade. The rest I tried to scrape into the cylinders, so I could then spray the cylinders with brake cleaner and rotate the engines by hand to wipe the gunk out after the...

    Low oil pressure after head swap. Ideas?

    I posted this over at the Corr@l as well, but I'm just looking for some fresh eyes to see this and maybe have some ideas. I got my car (85 Ford LTD with 94 Mustang 5.0) all back together last weekend after swapping the stock heads for some AFR 165s and Crane Cobra 1.7s RRs with new pushrods...
