Sucks the rain came. How many runs did you get total? I know my drive home sucked cuz the freeways were all wet.

I got 5 runs total, luckily the rain just barely went through!

Ok back to my adventures which lead up to the dyno..
One thing I didn't mention in the most recent posts is that the used transmission I got from the salvage yard, which was put in with my new clutch, actually grind 5th gear as well! :thumbsdown:

I was told it had 'only 40k miles' - another testament to the 'do it right the first time' lesson that all us modders constantly struggle with.. Luckily the salvage yard would take the transmission back, however the time and money spent on installation and removal is lost.. :crying:

I used a bit of my time delivering transmissions here and there to ensure things kept moving along smoothly.

My original 99k mile transmission was delivered as a core:

Then the used transmission was returned to the salvage yard:

And finally the expensive 'do it right the first time' lesson that I consistently struggle with (major props to David for hooking it up!) :

Pretty much a brand new car now:

Since I didnt 'need' my car back right away I decided to finally go ahead with the install of my CJ Motorsports Stage 3 RFS.

Turned out this was one of the best decisions I have made, because when we pulled the plugs one of them looked like this:

:eek: I was waiting to install the upgraded fuel system before I switched to E85 and this sign was also added to the list of reasons.

I always wanted a peep hole in my cover:

The beautiful CJM in tank twin fuel pump module:

Only to be not seen:

Ron ended up modifying some of the design and not using most of the hard pipe, but overall it came out quite clean:

The old AAM Stage 0 RFS:

That leads up to the last video where the car was filled with E85 and put on the dyno:

I picked it up the next day and did what anyone would do - met up Jwick and YzGyz:

I got owned by a fast evo:

I am 289 on the left:

And that's all for now, hopefully I will get to go back with some better tires soon! Now with 9.5 mpg:

10/21/2015: Haven't been doing too much lately besides driving and maintenance.

I broke an axle at the drag strip in early October. The day after I noticed that the axle wasn't the only thing that broke. I guess QuikSteel just wasn't enough to hold the shroud in place:
http://i.imgur.com/aXXMC5r.jpg

Took things apart and epoxied the shroud back in place after rebaking the headlight again:

Then replaced the axle since the car was on stands:

Sold my E63 to drop the car note so the G went back to daily duties while I looked for a cash car:

Cash car found, it's the new daily so no mods..

But the tires were bad and I got wheels and tires for less than buying a set of new tires..

A few weeks ago was Wekfest so I went to support Houston's Mayday Garage who hosted the premeet:

Then showed during Wekfest:

Took home this little guy:

Truly am humbled that the vision is appreciated since the car isn't slammed/stanced like many of the other cars that were showing. Probably will be my last car show for awhile as 2016 is when I hope to really beat the piss out of the car on the track. :driving:

Still nothing has really changed mod wise as I'm still waiting on the DSS axles to be made. They are supposed to ship soon, but with Thanksgiving next week I'm not holding my breath.

In the meantime, I just got back from a 2 week vacation in Japan. What's a better way to say "Welcome Home" than to take the "Show Car" to the track?

Shout out to Z Club of Houston and Houston Zs for hosting an awesome track day at Motorsports Ranch in Angleton, TX!

Nice trophy!

I might have to dig my old account back up when I decide to try some track days. I always drool a little when I see people posting track day pics.
