Re: 1987 Corvette Z52

Be sure to take a camera man with you. This should be fun to watch.

So what led you to start thinking about dirt drags?

Re: Porsche 944 Megasquirt conversion

I know how satisfying that is to get that behind you. How did you discover it? Mid-Ohio now??

Silvia has blown a gasket.

First, I'd like to report that my debris screen is working as expected. Many small leaves on my driveway are sticking to the screen and being deposited on the garage floor when I pull in and shut it off. Nothing has gotten by the screen. Secondly, the passenger side exhaust manifold gasket has sprun...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette

ODO: 104802 Some leaves are beginning to fall and Silvia has been sucking them up and plastering them on the front of the AC condenser, so I thought it time to do something to prevent it. At Home depot I found a piece of black plastic coated metal mesh screening that is meant for covering gutters. I...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette

I've been seeing a spot of oil on the garage floor so I followed the oil trail forward to the Crank Position Sensor under the timing cover. It pushes in and is sealed with an O ring. It's held in place by a single screw. This is a new sensor I installed previously. Back then, I did the installation ...

Re: 1/2 Mile Indy Airstrip Attack 2023

Very cool, BP! Without the head wind I'm guessing you would at least hit 140 mph. This prompted me to do some searching for Silvia's top speed. :shock: A few guys are claiming 170 mph for the '96 LT4. Not sure if that is stock or not.

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette

ODO: 104745 (August 2nd, 2023 was my second year with Silvia) Status update of recent activity: - Last Saturday I had the battery go dead on me after I accidently left the key on for about an hour. Some testing showed that the battery was on it's last leg so I installed a new replacement. Silvia rea...

Clickin', clackin' calipers

ODO: 104724 As the miles pile up in this hot weather, I've tweaked the fuel pressure again to 55 psi. Even at this pressure, with the AC running, if I don't keep the revs up to a level that Silvia will tolerate, she will suddenly cough, or backfire through the intake. As time goes on, I'm learning t...

Cold start idle fixed

ODO:104565 It appears that the rough idle on a cold start was corrected by increasing the fuel pressure. It's sitting at 52 psi right now. I've also removed the vacuum hose to the fuel pressure regulator and plugged the port on the intake. Watching the fuel pressure on a cold start revealed that the...
