NICE pics!

Is that Alex L? ( Can't see his feet , so I'm not sure. ) He's gonna get banned.

[DaveS]

Thanks, I only took a few of them, Johnny took the rest. I really like the one of my car's numbers with Stacey's SVO wing in the foreground.
Yes, that's Alex. There is also somebody under the SVOCOP hat in the same picture.
Fair warning of likely banning at SVOCA was given to both individuals.

[SVOStacey]

Alex can't get banned from the other place. He didn't rejoin last year. Can anyone guess who is under the hat next to Alex?

[Patrick]

Timmy???

[MikeFleming]

We're gonna need Mitch to setup some more tables for all the new in-coming folks.

Probably should have Tony sweep the parking lot too.

Maybe some extra towels at the Front Desk?

[Bob Holmes]

More beer in the cooler.

[MikeFleming]

And some signed "Flat Bob" wallet cards for all new guests!

Tell Alex and "the guy under the hat" I said Hi. Love those guys!!!

[DaveS]

Will do. We're having a wrenching session over here sometime in May to replace the valve stem seals on "the guy under the hat" 's car.

Maybe u can give him a real cooling fan at the ssame time!!!!

[Raven855]

I do love the old minis!

[MikeFleming]

I do love the old minis! There's one that comes to play at our local Auto-X events on a regular basis. It has a rear window sticker that reads "Actual Size".

He has one of them there new fangled electric fans on there now!

[Patrick]

^^^ Look who the cat dragged in!

What's up fellas!

Yep sure do. All kinds of room under the hood now. Enough room to stuff a newly aquired Charlie at Evergreen piece of art work under there... Here I come EP class... Later ESP.

Rob you coming down Sunday, smack ya around lil bit... :)

whatcha get from charlie? ive been eyeing a SC6162 from bo, haven't checked with charlie yet to see what his current offerings are. been considering jumping into the deep end and going full out gt35r backed by a MSIII unit once i get the rest of the go fast goodies installed (hope some massaging of the intake, and a log exhaust header will get the foot brake boost above the he341's flash point of ~10psi) . which reminds me, need to order a set of torque box reinforcement plates...

as for EP: oh, its ON now! i shall install my adjustable cam gear tonight to hopefully get the boost closer to flash stall rpm...

still need to do a once over on jayme's 84, technically i think it should be up in ESP or even EP due to the rear end and boost controller, we'll see if the inspector will let er run with the g-stock crew if i remove said boost controller...

It's up to her competition to call her on that.....and I have no issue with it...unless she beats me.
I'd put the stock controller back on, easier to sort out; plus, it is her first time out.
Dave

[SVOTim]

You can put her in any SVO , GStock, ESP, EP class, but if she beats Dave he can contest, and I will LMAO.... In all seriousness put the stock controller on and G stock will be good for her, no one will notice the rear end swap (Except Dave), besides don't see that as an advantage in AutoX.

As for what I got, Dunno, ain't educated enough to talk spec smack. Called Charlie he asked what I wanted, told him what I got, and that I wanted a kick a$$ autoX turbo, kept the .48 and stuffed this, removed that, smoothed this, rubbed that, clip here, clip there, bigger here, lighter there, etc...Tadda an AutoX turbo was built...:) I'll bring the spec sheet Sunday, you can read it to me in KY english.

you assume that the stock controller is still around. :P we'll get it dialed in with the schmitt clan's stockers, and call it a day. rear ends should be taken care of by end of season, got 2 8.8s and a 7.5 to shuffle between 3 cars...

oooo, looking forward to it. got an email into bo to quote some port work on a dual plug head this winter; if i didnt just buy a log header and MS3 unit, id definitely be looking at a new kick a$$ autox turbo as well. oh well, there's always next year!

We're working on a paid member discount with Boport. He will most likely be one of our vendors.

thats about 7 shades of awesome! (wheres my :burnout: at?)


While that is true, YOU have not posted any pictures that I am aware of. Everyone must post a picture - it's part of the initiation process.

Sorry - we can't make an exception just for you. Don't make us ban you.

*sigh* fine, have some pics!

Submit a request with the file, and see if it makes the smiley list.

I'm in total agreement with the no censoring thing--transparency and honesty. Don't feel compelled to move or tidy up, just making an observation. Perhaps move it with a note if it's a no-brainer; that way people who are interested in things (like a Boport discount) might actually be able to find it. If we try to keep everything "perfect and clean" we'll go crazy.

Hurry up! I have a bump stick going flat and need a cam kit.

Change "exhaxt" to "exhaust", "didn;t" to "didn't", etc.

Tony and I saw you trip over turbochargers in my garage. You know I'm not going crazy soon!

To keep this germane, I need to mention the words "Kentucky" and "Autocross".
