The SDAC curse is upon me.

[1FastCSX289]

Looks like the CSX will be hibernating until who knows when. The number one cylinder was dropping compression after a recent re-ring. So, I figure I would pop the head, hone it and give it one more shot. That didnt work out so well.......I took it out for a good beating and came back fogging for mosquitos. On a positive note, I think I took out a lot of those pesky critters on the way home.

So.....we'll see if the CSX is my only cursed car. Maybe the Charger can make it through an SDAC event unscathed?

What happened???????

[BadAssPerformance]

Doh! Bummer dude

[Aries_Turbo]

that car needs a neon 2.0L with the turbo you have. either that or a 2.4L but i think a 2.0L would rock in that car.

What happened???????

Dont know. I would imagine one of the new rings let loose or something. Car still runs and drives, and it may have a lot to do with the fact that I hooked up the PCV valve, but its just belching smoke now. Thats not normal! And its apparent to me that the cylinder isnt seating right and theres something wrong with it. I dont want to have to worry about the car while at SDAC, so the charger is going to be a stress free car for a good time. Im anxious to see if I can get it in the 13's at the track anyways.

Im gonna tear down the CSX and see whats going on and make a decision as to which route I want to go. The cheapest will probably be to get another common block machined and transfer my parts over with new rings, gaskets and seals. But, I really want to go with a 16v set up and I might just do that slowly over time. In the mean time, strap the bottle on the charger and just race that car.

Im thinking about it. Plans are brewing.

But.....right now budget is a big concern, so if I do the 16v motor, it will be a long process over a year or so.

Scott seems to have some extra cash, have him buy the parts for you.

the csx is jealous of the charger... its typical when you have more than one car, they get jealous of each other and play games.

someday I will make it to sdac
I feel like the fat girl on a friday night, all my friends are out partying, and i'm home watching all the CSI's eating a tub of BonBons

[fleckster]

Hitch a ride with Bucar or one of the other local! No excuses!

[mark]

I wish i could. i just have way to much on my plate
I wanted to try and hit the WI border and get me some more Spotted Cow!

[fleckster]

How much is on your plate that would can't bum a ride and hang out? It would probably be cheaper than hanging out at home! I have seen "special deliveries" of adult beverages and such brought to SDAC for pick up by individuals for use when they get back home!

If you were going to be there I could snag you a 12er before I left town.

i wish it was that easy!!!!!

Brian is looking for another big fat guy to share his bed since Frank is not going this year.

[Aries_Turbo]

im getting my own bed. ive had to share a bed with fat sloths for too many SDAC's. plus my back has been bothering me. it would be nice to not have to use an air mattress as they trash my back.

Brian

i wish it was that easy!!!!!

it is that easy.

step one - take vacation from work

step two - stand in driveway with beer and clothes.

step three - open door of slaskys saturn vue.

step four - sit on seat and enjoy ride to cincy.

step five - drink beer upon arrival at kens.

You can't go wrong with advice like that.

I think the SDAC curse just hit me and may have taken me out this year. I actually found the time I needed to repack the trailer bearings. When I got done one side is howling and the other side is clicking. So now I need new bearings and races and I am not sure I can even get them. I have to move all day tomorrow so I can't even check to see if I can get them tomorrow. Which leaves me thursday to get them, get the trailer back together and get everything packed and ready to go.
With the stuff I have to do for the move I really didn't have time to go in the first place. So this might have just made it so I can't go.
