Y’all be careful :iagree:

I won't even know he is there. It was the tilt mobile with you on the other side. LOL That is what happens when you are 6ft6 and 320+lbs.

Elmo sent me the YouTube video directly to my FB messenger. Man spooler, Your car is an amazing build. It's so damn clean, I'm not sure everyone can appreciate the amount of work that went into it. With that said... I tip my hat to you good sir. Nice work!

:tiphat:

Thanks, I do appreciate it. Like yours, it is different than most but it is my own. I have a few more tricks up my sleeve.

I have had several conversations with the wife about this. Due to traction issues and safety I will be going to a Motec M150 the first of next year if all goes well. I need a true motorsports traction control solution with boost by gear and boost by speed. I know me, I will drive the wheels off of it and eventually the car will get me. It is not cheap but it is cheaper than totaling the car in a ditch. The monster needs to be tamed some. Ecuteck can do some of these features but not at the level I need them to work.

Spooler 12-15-2020 11:30 AM

For you auto guys......

Guess your wife really does love you huh?

If she didn’t she’d of said “don’t be a pussy, traction control is for suckers”.

Well, it is that and other folks she worries about. She knows I will drive it hard and I have many years of experience under my belt. I am just honest with her. I don't hide anything. I know what will eventually happen if I keep pushing it. It will bite me. I am not scared of the car at all. Way back in the day we had nothing. I have spun out, put it in the ditch, smacked a culvert and ripped the right rear suspension off, etc. None of this is new to me. This is a good move if I can make it happen.

Honesty with ones wife and not hiding anything, that right there is the key to a long successful marriage. :tup:

I’m glad you’re honest enough with yourself to be able to admit you’re ready for a motec setup. There’s lots of folks out there who would have to end up in the ditch or worse before they come to that realization. :driving:

Plus, I’m hoping for a ride one day. :happydance:

Well, you can get a reaction from Elmo370z. The weather will be cold and traction will be limited. We'll see how far I want to push it that day. You may not want a ride. LMAO!!!!

Meh, I have a bit of a death wish so bring it on.

Just roll into the throttle gently cause my cervical spine is totally trashed. :tup:

LOL, that would be a problem. I have to roll into the throttle, when the turbo's light off, it is gone. No control over that. I can delay it some but when they hit, hold on.

Car is a monster so happy for you Spooler

Spooler 12-16-2020 10:07 PM

Damnit, I got to wash the car in the cold Friday. Not looking forward to that. 52 for the high. May have to heat up my soapy water. (Old trick to stay warm)

Spooler 12-17-2020 03:52 PM

Solidus is getting his car ready. I guess we are going to have some fun while I am down there.

One time I couldn’t stand the car being dirty, I washed the car in sub 30’s. I had double layer of surgical gloves....10 minutes into it my hands hurt too badly, then even my face started to hurt. Left the car running the entire time, jumped in just to thaw my hands when I couldn’t take it anymore.

Getting too old for that chit now.

That thought has crossed my mind. It might just stay a little dirty. LMAO!!!

I don't have to worry about that crap. I live in the south.

My brother had a '68 Hemi Road Runner with a 4 speed. He trade that in for a '70 Super Bee with a 440 6 Six Pack, auto. I had the '70 340 Duster, then the Dart with the 572 RB.

I think every car guy has one of these type of stories. Rusty apparently has 4.

(Don’t worry rusty, I’ve got a few as well. :( )

I was in Orlando today. I am back home now.

I need to make a change with my catch cans. I need bigger lines and also need to dump to atmosphere. I didn't quite get it right first try.
