This has dominated most of my time...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/msprocess/
No software there yet, still finishing it up now, but by Monday it will be.
The accompanying manuscript is going at an Application Note to this journal on Monday.
http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/

We did take a five day break and enjoyed this view for a few days.


Got a bunch of steel coming tomorrow so I can finish the cage in the blue BMW and some smaller sized stuff to build the seat sliders for the Chumpcar so we can make the track day at High Plains on Monday. Chump race there on Sept 8-9 so figured we'd at least get some laps and learn the track ahead of time. I'll post pictures of the sliders as they get built.

building a retaining wall, so that I can have a race car storage RV pad paved, so I can finally bring the car that I bought this spring home.

Been waiting on parts....

Fedex guy just brought me my new custom front coils from coil spring specialties today.

When I quit playing in parking lots and get on stage-I'll get proper suspension from John-but for now I'm on fresh (January 2013)dampers and trying to get the full year out of em'.

I recently lost one of my two jobs so you know how $$ are...


Hopefully these taller and stiffer front coils will get me off the bump stops when things get rutted-the 129inch pound ones on the car now certainly aren't cutting it!

So over the next couple weeks(finally) installing the coils,new rotors and pads,intake and filter(the stock PZEV air filter is horribly restrictive),header,flex and (required for P.F.class) H.F. cat, along with 91 octane(Yeah-I know...Cali shit gas!) SCT tune....

These bits might not help me catch that guy who showed up in the VR6 powered Golf last race that I couldn't quite catch-but I'll sure as hell be trying.

Getting ready to build this. Plans should be back from the City next week, hopefully with little edits and small fees.




It goes where my wife and brother are standing and goes back into the hill that I was standing on to take this pic.

congrats. that's make two of us then, mine has two weeks on yours.

other than that, working on getting a better tune (burning eeproms) on the car before the new engine gets built. going for another ej22 but with more compressions and a hottercam. got one of the later blocks that shares the wrx bearings, so there are options.

too rich for my blood, share a LeMons car



Re: What have you been doing on.......

Valve springs, ignition parts, depowering the steering rack in the LeMons car. Brett is trying to make a ghetto copy of the parts in the first post because we have a Supra diff and access to tools and metal, but no budget (and no money) to pay JV for the legit parts. But the lack of a stock limited slip in the XR is costing us at least a second a lap at NHMS (we get killed in the uphill turn, cannot get the car to bite and we've had about 1,200 laps to figure it out).

Oh, and I'm getting up for work at 3am for a part time job back in retail hell because I need the money and the ability to provide some childcare.

I should be in bed.

Thanks Sean! Pretty inspiring watching that little guy! I def plan to get some stuff done on the car lol. Not going to lie though, the motivations a little slow lol.

Sweet garage btw! Hope there aren't any hiccups. When are you hoping to break ground? Is that a loft type deal above the shop?
