I have a black helmet, and it is definitely something to think about. I have more problems with my black steering wheel than my black helmet though. I am usually pretty good about keeping the lid out of the sun. Though that is really, really tough with the convertible barbie car :lol:

Black helmet, white helmet, with all this hair it won't matter anyway. I am going to sweat buckets in hot weather anyhow. :lol:

Yep, Alex...that would be the one. Perhaps when we have that kind of cash just fall out of the sky....

darn this new focus. I really like it. I HATED the first get when it came out. I thought the headlights were disgusting. Then the updated nose was nice, but just "Uh...that's all you did?" Then the 08+ came out, and it never did grow on me (well, the FSwerks power did grow on me). Maybe I should stop thinking about power in my daily driver, and put the money to the fun toys, like a track car. Then I saw the post about sub-10k brand new focus...Hopefully I have a long time before I have to start shopping. It was a bit depressing to find that KBB says my car is worth $900.

New focus for 10k is hard to say no to.... that's amazing.

Dude - Round 2 in Ugly Mugs... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Chalz didn't even wait for retaliation.

Ogre - put your stein down and clear your mouth of liquids first. Perhaps grab a paper bag for the hyperventilation that is sure to occur.

Holy crap, this damn car! Now i notice the P/S pressure line is toast and I'm going to have to overnight one from Steve

Sometimes I wish I was a complete hack and didn't care so long as the car runs. I'm half tempted to order the hoses and fittings to fab my own line and re-route the damn thing, that's what should really be done anyway. Ford Engineers: "Hey guys, where are we going to put the P/S line in this car?" "Let's just create a 5-piece line and route it over the ****ing header!" :bang:

For the 1st time today, my belt came off during a photo shoot. But it wasn't nearly how I played it out in my head. I was shooting outside in the cold for an hour, a truck driver and a lot of semi's. They needed the belt buckle which he forgot, so I can just photoshop that in, no problem. But I didn't want to photoshop a belt, so I loaned him mine. LOL

Thanks.. Trying to find the old me again and that helps. Gotta think of a plate for the new one.

Well gooood morning Nor-Cal!

Aaron, sorry to hear about your P/S line woes. Youlle get through it, and it'll turn out great no matter what you decide.

So, in my latest tuning tweaks, I've done the following,

Added 5% fuel from 3000-4000
Added 10% fuel from 4000-5000
Added 10% fuel from 5000-6000
Added 10% fuel from 6000-7000

that got my WOT A/F Rs right where I want them (11.0-11.8 full rpm range at WOT). Still has a bit of knock (ST/KR).

So I'm now taking away 1 degree of timing away at a time and re-testing.

So far, I've got it as follows,

-2 degrees 4000-5000
-2 degrees 5000-6000
-2 degrees 6000-7000

After that, I re-tested... Still have knock. Mostly in the 5000-5300 rpm range. A common Chrysler "knock trap" resonance range. The knock did subside quite a bit after pulling that timing though. Might pull one more degree and see if that doesthe trick.

I hope so, cause I don't want to have to start pulling boost.

Tuning is... a lot of fun. Imlearning so much:thumbup:

 

[Dev]

Mike I am soo glad that I don't have boost. I wouldn't know the first thing about tuning it. :lol:

 

[Z63R]

Couple-O-things...


1. Good morning, NorCal. :arr:

2. Have a laptop now and am posting through a rather weak wi-fi from the cab of my truck at work while waiting for my next assignmentz... but this damned Win7 has a few quirks I don't like.

3. Dev! Who's got the ZX3FORD plate now, I wonder... :chinrub:

4. Justin's posted his Mugz thread come-back, but it's not at all original.

:lol:

 

[bigdaddyG8]

Morning Sir Squire!

Mornin' NorCal.

shhhh... don't wake me...

 

[Mrs. SRT Junky]

G'morning!! Leaving now, only half day today. Have a great morning everyone.

 

[SRT Junky]

Mike I am soo glad that I don't have boost. I wouldn't know the first thing about tuning it. :lol:

Dev, I knew absolutely nothing about tuning cars (especially turbo cars) before I bought The Princess Under Pressure. It was through good friends and my love for the car that I learned so much.

And believe me... if I can learn it, anyone can:thumbup:

 

[Dev]

hahaha Mike I don't think that I would ever have the patience for it. :lol:

Squire - No one has it. I was thinking about getting it again but I kinda want to change it as that was my old ride.

 

[Z63R]

^ 10-4. Although I think it'd be reet. :thumbup:

Morning, Sir Squier!

Ole! Ogre!


Who LOVES Nutella? I do! *raises hand*

 

[SRT Junky]

hahaha Mike I don't think that I would ever have the patience for it. :lol:

Ah... but, when you here that hiss and feel the thrust and watch the little orange needle sweep past 15 psi and you hit freeway speed from a stop in five and a half seconds... your patience seem to improve :thumbup:


Oh, and good morning Sir Squire!!

 

[SRT Junky]

Good point.. The only vehicle that I had with boost was my 87' TC. I didn't have it long enough to play with it.
