I wish I could go all week. We are leaving TX on tuesday and getting there Weds. This time I am not driving alone. At least 4 other cars will be cruising up.

Nice.. it's going to be epic. Especially if it's the last year at Fontana :(

Do you guys have a cabin this time?

Ron 04-07-2013 01:39 PM

Yes sir, we did.

Edited my post, cannot do it on my phone.
I want someone in Houston to pick up the traction control box, curious how it performs and how much it helps.

Also I was having a driveability issue with the car. Engine was randomly stalling when coming to a stop. As revs fell back to idle, they would drop below normal and then stabilize. Idle was rough with unstable rpms. And there was a very high pitch whistle like noise from the engine bay. Took me a while to figure it out but it was a simple fix...BOVs weren't fully closing at idle, low rpms and decel due to a soft spring (softened with time:confused:). The gap was very small causing this whistling sound as air rushed out. I added a couple of flat 16GA 1" ID machine bushings to the bottom of each BOV housing effectively making the spring stiffer. Problem solved! Car drives perfect now. :tup:
