Launch Control
Well, the Z31 is now officially mine. Sort of. I still have to wait for the title to arrive in the mail, but that can’t change the fact that it is now in my name. Finally!
Now I just need to pass an inspection. That’s going to be the hardest part. Although, I read up on [...]
100th Post! (…and Megasquirt Woes)
Hum, 100 posts. 100 posts about random crap, but 100 nonetheless.
Speaking of random, I was (am) attempting to make my own version of the MegaLogViewer for Megasquirt. In this attempt, I happened to notice that my Z31 cranks at 280-325 or so RPM. This is not a big deal, it’s just that I have my [...]
Turkey Day 2009
Well, after celebrating the conquering of the Native Americans, and driving 8 hours, I decided that we should honor today, the day after the day after Thanksgiving, by learning a new word.
Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz.
In other news, the SES light on the Pathfinder went out, after staying on for a couple months. A self-fixing car! Now I just [...]
Title Woes Part Two
I’ve submitted the paperwork, and as soon as I purchase $7,000 worth of a surety bond, I can get a bonded title. Then I can get it inspected. Then registered. Then I can drive it. Legally, anyway.
Picked up a turbocharger and wastegate
Got a smokin’ good deal:
That’s a T3/T04E, and a 38mm Tial wastegate, 4-bolt to V-band adapter, dump pipe, and some extra flanges, and some flanges and stuff (not pictured).
The turbo is .63 hot side, stage 3 wheel. Cold side is 50 trim. Very, very similar to my old turbo on my 84AE Z31, but it’s [...]
Title Woes
I’m trying to get my project car registered, which means I have to have a title, which means I have to go through a lot of hoops. The title I have is a mess, last messed with in 1998. It’s signed over to some random person, but that person apparently never re-titled it in their [...]
Bugatti Lagooni
Well, there was some news about the Fort Hood shooter, Hasan, but this just came in!
From the Galveston County Daily News:
The owner of one of the world’s fastest production automobiles accidentally drove his fine-tuned, French-built car into a saltwater lagoon Wednesday.
Sigh. I’ve heard some unconfirmed news that the driver was apprehended due to some allegations [...]
The Chrysler That Almost Made Me Kill a Cop
This past summer, my Honda civic was stolen. I borrowed a wonderful Chrysler PT Cruiser from Enterprise in the meantime. It was a marvel of engineering. So much so, that I almost killed a police officer. That’s right, I had a shotgun steadily aimed at an off-duty police officer’s head and his Glock barrel was [...]
Car stolen
I’ve been civicted! Well, not really. I suppose if I had a note on it that I didn’t pay, it would be civicted. But seriously, someone swiped my car. During the middle of the day, on campus.
Thanks UTA, the fond memories keep adding up.
It’s a black 2000 Honda Civic Si. It’s also probably in a [...]
