lookforjoe Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 id ditch those blocks, Yeah - I don't like the creaking they make when the suspension is active in town driving anyway. I'll pull them when I get back from our road trip to Montreal & Quebec next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookforjoe Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 o wow heading up to the canadian side eh, which way are you headed up? and only going to quebec? Montreal, then Quebec. Never been before. Heading up the thruway I-87, stopping in Saratoga Springs first for the Spa. Increased the fueling in the top three row load cells - I had forgotten that over 6K it uses not only the 100% range - I remembered because the timing values shift to the higher range in the 88-94%rows at that point (e.g. timing @ 6700 in the hard uphill log above was 19.5º, by 7K it's 20º, 2º higher than 100% load requested cell) reference examples (I'll replace with current later) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) Montreal is a beautiful city. I've gone up several times for F-1 weekend and the town is HOPPING! They also have some nice festivals like Bicycle Fest and Fireworks Fest, Jazz Fest... I've gone for the Jazz and Bike Fest, great times....

amgvr4 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 That's unfortunate as they seem to be our only hope. I am working on a solution to be able to bolt on FWD control arms with spherical instead of bushing for AWD cars. Spherical bearings cured the terrible wheel hop I had in the rear of my 240sx. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spherical bearings cured the terrible wheel hop I had in the rear of my 240sx. the wheel hop was actually clutch slip, he fixed it. With a new flywheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Mac Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Among other things that were fixed was the level of badassness....AP racing clutch kit just turned it up to ELEVENNNNN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted July 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Car is running well overall. Took a 1000 mile round trip to Montreal & Quebec City. Still need to re-dyno now that the clutch is settled. Reworked the CAI piping using 3.25", and smoothed the transitions - got rid of two silicone elbows, and practiced my TIG welding. Functional, not pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Will Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) H - Jerd essentially stopped doing business a couple of years ago. At least that was my understanding when I was in Sweden. I never got a reason why but I had heard orders were on hold from them at least directly. Edited July 12, 2013 by Big Will 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NM Evan Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 That's unfortunate as they seem to be our only hope. If someone can get me dimensions and perhaps a bushing, I could send it to my buddy who fabs poly bushings for longboards on a CNC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Talked with Maciek at the Paramus meet, he had been talking with BMac, who spoke to him about putting a GT500 scoop on a Volvo hood.... there just happened to be a Shelby GT500 at the meet... so, I touched base with Ben, and ordered two scoops, one for me, and one for him.... scoop will go about here: have to avoid the inner reinforcement panel by the firewall Template is ready to go... Windshield washer jets will have to go in the flat section of the scoop. I'm going back to the AWD Dyno on Monday, to get numbers now I have a working clutch. I'll do base, 18 & 20ish PSI to see what I get. I have to install the 1000cc injectors before I go over that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
