Won't make the rally but we'll be sure to turf up the school roads and leave them strewn with Saab parts this weekend. Extra points if ya don't hit the exhaust pipes!

Hey Kevin- Nice meeting you as well. The sanctioned beat runs were good for us too. uncovered a couple of things that would have ended our day had they happened in an event.

Sure was fun to be in a rally car again. Worked up to feeling comfy throwing the thing down the road a bit.
Color scheme is final...until it gets covered up with RA's "sponsor" stickers Either broke or lost the taper pin for the shifter, giving a box full oh neutrals. Single fan wasn't enough to keep it under 200deg F waiting in line to start. Susp feels about right balance wise, but seems too low and too soft. Springs and rally valved Bilsteins from Tom Bier...and I can't remember what they are... Brakes were good...don't think I have the bias adjuster set up right, so had very little adjustment. Engine is boggy/stumbles under 3k rpm, full throttle...I'm thinking it's stupid rich, as you pointed out. but as soon as you get up there, it pulled fine up to 7k. I like the handbrake...that makes the shitty little hairpins fun. So, the punchlist for NEFR isn't huge, but I've got some work to do. install proper gearbox wire up lights, maplight, computer install shims or taller springs fiddle with CIS navi footrest check radiator for blockage/install second fan would like to put new lifter buckets in and adj valves...nobody would call this a fresh motor.
You've probably already told me, but know anything about making the ignition advance curve better? She's screamn' fer eet! Rallyho Mike White http://www.facebook.com/rallyhomotorsports |
