Ihatespeedbumps Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Not real sure, I need to pull the heat shield off and check adjustment. Hitting 25+ is really easy if I put my foot in it and I don't want to crack a sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin. Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 In your R? I'm doing 1800 in 2 days with my gf in her GLI next weekend it's gonna be fun haha I did 5 long trips in my old NA, enjoyed it a bunch. Longest one was from Texas to New Jersey closely followed by going from Texas to Washington state. Volvo seats are comfy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattsk8 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Time to work on the Datsun. Pulled it out of the spot its been sitting in for 3 years now and pushed it into the garage, my son's been after me to get it going again. Immediate plans are oil change, plugs, and pull the carbs, take them apart and clean them (3 years can't be good, but they're still pumping gas and that's a good thing). Might end up pulling the gas tank and cleaning that as well. Then valve adjustment and replace all vacuum lines. Once that's done, probably do an exhaust. If all goes well and I get this running good again, I'll do new brakes all the way around, then new tires. Last night when we pulled it in, we vacuumed all the pine needles off/out of it, and I fixed the passenger door that wouldn't open because the locking mechanism was all froze up.

Zappo Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 In your R? I'm doing 1800 in 2 days with my gf in her GLI next weekend it's gonna be fun haha No, it won't be fun. At least the suspension won't be as stiff as mine. I did 1000 in my S70 last spring with 2 friends. Not something I want to do again. I do the 1800 mile thing every year for the Davis show, although it is normally around 1550 miles in 4 days, I just made an extra trip while I was down in California and worked at one of our hotels in Oregon on the way back.

Burn-E Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I did 1000 in my S70 last spring with 2 friends. Not something I want to do again. Psh... Lightweight... Can I play? Pssh, you're both lightweights. Try Chicago to Salt Lake City to Logan, UT to Las Vegas to Denver to Chicago. 3,747 miles. The two major legs in 2 days each. Sounds simple right? Now add in 5 kids under the age of 10 including an infant 7 months old. And they're girls at least one of whom will have to pee at least once every hour. They ought to call it the Mini Van Mega Marathon. Thank heavens for iPads, headphones, charging ports, and an in-car DVD system. Otherwise I'm sure we would have heard that familiar refrain a dozen times an hour, Are we there yet?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
