Thirdgen Fest Updates...

So a new Walbro 255, a Racetronix hot wire kit, fuel filter, New fuel tank, 2 ignition modulus and getting my Megasquirt ECU up and working. I think I just might be ready to think about cleaning the car up for Thirdgen Fest.

How are you all doing? Who's going, who's not, who is still working on it for this weekend?

I think it is just you and me Steve as the last of the original Thirdgen fest members that have never missed one. Nine years straight! Will I be the last Indian standing?

Re: Thirdgen Fest Updates...

I need to take my rear sway bar off and load the car and I'll be ready. The ground clearance is pretty poor and since I'll be in unfamiliar territory I'll take it off for max ground clearance. It's not needed with street tires anyway.

I will also have my laptop and tuning equipment with me in case any one wants to play with a tune.

I'll have my stuff too for tuning. But I could use some advice, wouldn't mind a ride along to help look at datalogs.

Re: Thirdgen Fest Updates...

sure thing. 92RS (real slow) and I will probably get there around 11:30 or so. I'm excited, it's going to be a beautiful day packed with thirdgens, I can't think of a better way to spend the day!!

Re: Thirdgen Fest Updates...

well if it's a carb motor how hard can that be? We'll help you hook it the rest of the way up, then burnouts are mandatory.
