The devil herself is in upstate NY at a Job interview!!!!!!

WOOT WOOT...please let this be it!

Venom351R · May 13, 2009

Good luck! N.Y is closer then FL

Bryan are you going to come to the Test and Tune this saturday at the track?

gaslight · May 16, 2009

Um no. Just got the front alignment done this morning. Haven't been online for a few days anyways. It going to be a few hundred miles before my brakes are ready for any stopping at those fast speeds anyways.
When I got the alignment done the tech came in after and asked if I built the car. Then he shook my hand and said I did a great job and he was glad to see a real car and not a ricer. That was pretty cool. I saw him and another guy checking out the car on the lift and with the hood open.
Test and tune must have been interesting on a cold damp day like today.

Thats real nice to say about your wife.
So how did the interview go?

Venom351R · May 16, 2009

it was interesting. There was an accident and the car rolled over a few times. I didn't see it happen b/c it was a test and tune car so I was in the lanes waiting to run and I never saw the car after but it was a street car b/c there was glass all over the track that they had to clean up. As far as my day it sucked the car is breaking up at 4,000 RPM's for some reason. Here is a vid.

car sounds good .
Weren't you having that problem last year? Did you ever change your gas filter? How about checking your engine grounds.

Venom351R · May 16, 2009

No I didnt have the issue last year, the fuel filter is 11 months old. Could be a ground but its just so random at times and why would it always cause it to break up at 4,000 rpms?

Your never going to get the miles on the car to break in the new brakes b/c every nice day your going to be on the bike.

I was thinking perhaps more of a load on the electrical system at higher RPMs. Could be random due to a loose wire.

Venom351R · May 16, 2009

I checked all the wires and everything seemed to be fine.

gaslight · May 16, 2009

you would probably have to check the resistance and continuity on some of those wire by using a multimeter and flexing the wires.

Venom351R · May 16, 2009

I talked to chris and Im going to make sure the ground to the frame is good and if its not that then it could be the TPS

whitehorseupnorth · May 17, 2009

Just watch the vid this morning. Check all the plug wires really good. Sounds like a misfire from a bad wire or loose wire.

Venom351R · May 17, 2009

I'll go through them all again

That sounds really bad, I hope you find the culprit.

the only really good way to check those is with a multimeter checking for resistance while moving the wire around.

Took the stang out today to run some errands. The handling is better with the new setup and the SN95 spindles give me a tighter turning radius. When I turn the wheel all the way I no longer have to worry about the tie rod rubbing the side of the rim. Haven't had the big tires in the back rub yet but I'm sure that could happen with a real good sized bump.

gaslight · May 17, 2009

Travis what kind of jacket and helmet did you have for your bike and were they comfortable. I'm shopping around right now. I have been using the helmet I bought for the stang and a old heavy leather jacket that I used to use for riding.

Venom351R · May 17, 2009

I had a Leather Honda Racing jacket. I used my JVC Track Helmet for awhile but then got a Shoei

DoubleONegative · May 17, 2009

welp ladies the wife and i are moving to Liberty NY!!!

she is heading up in a few weeks and i'll be up in July!

MaineBullitt · May 18, 2009

Any interest in a short cruise this coming weekend? Possibly to somewhere featuring good grubb, cold beer & safe parking?
I'm still bitter about Sunday's rainout and want to get out a bit.
