THings are a changin

MEDIK418 · 07-11-2003, 10:11 PM

First, hello again everyone. I've been busy for a while and just now got back on here. Lots of things have changed for us lately. My oldest son is now in San Diego (actually, he has been for a couple of months) Right about now he's at QualCom stadium doing something called Racelegal. He was trying to find a helmet earlier today.
He took his 89Gt with him. I'm gonna miss her. . . uhh. . .him too of course. He did manage to get it on a dyno somewhere in San Diego. RWHP is 251@5000 rpm, 310 lb.ft. of torque. No idea where it happens but the power signs off pretty abruptly at 5000 rpm so I'm thinking the heads will help that once they're on. Still with the stock heads. Oh, almost forgot. THe fuel/air ratio is way off. 6:1 the printout says. Not sure how to fix it. The only codes showing are a low coolant temp, but that's another forum.
He's lovin San Diego so far. Sad part he is leaving for Okinawa next week so the car will sit for a while. Till December anyway. He bought a new Yamaha Road Star Warrior while he was home on leave and I thought that would signal the retirement of the Mustang but no way. He's still buying stuff for it.
THe Green thing has taken a back seat for a while. The youngest son has discovered motocross. Actually, he's discovering the wonders of road rash and concussions so far but he's having fun and it's fun for Dad to watch.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi to everyone and warn you. I'm finally starting on my 351-C and looking for a Fox body to stick it in. There'll be lossa brain pickin.
Later!

Makes me wanna get a bike.

I bet thats a rush for all of ya'll!
Glad things are going good for you and your family and good to see ya again!

Hey hes in my neck of the woods

I probably saw him racing last night. what color is his car?

Race Legal is what they call our 1/8 drag strip that is set up at qualcomm stadiums parking lot. Its kinda lame I know but its the only drag strip san diego has

Anyways that is kinda cool hehe.

Nick

He was driving a really rough lookin 89 GT, blue and silver. He had a blast. He called several times during the night. Times were in the 9.4 second range at 77-78. He did say there was no traction at all. He called today to tell me his mileage problems are gone. . .he thinks. The engine temp sensor was bad I think cause the new one made a big change in his mileage. Almost doubled.

THanks Topless. We went to Idalou to race last night and he had his best race there so far. He placed 4th in his heat but came in with a shredded rear tube so race night was over. It were my fault. I broke the bead on a brand new Dunlop 756 installing it and it took about a lap to eat the tube and rip it apart.
Oh well. Off to A&M next week for a week of school and then it's back to Idalou.
