Official SDAC-25 Discussion Thread

I got me in the right place now and, hopefully, will be ready to scrape door handles with everyone else! Just need to get the car checked out and come maintenance stuff done on it and the truck and trailer for the haul East and I should be having fun. God, I missed you guys last year!

Missed you too Fleck. I'm psyched that you're able to make it this year.

Well, since I should be done having kids now, I shouldn't have to missed based on births anymore!

I think I have a T3 module with your name on it brother.

I need to send in my membership dues, SDAC fee and lock in the hotel room today. Yes this is a reminder to myself.

Sweet! I had forgotten about that. I could use a spare T3 module as a core for playing around. Not sure about the cal I've been running all this time but I'd like to upgrade to +40%s and computer controlled boost for 3 bar in the future.

If you don't mind making more frequent stops I'm all for it.

Speaking of stops, I did the brakes on the car over the weekend and also replaced the rear wheel bearings since they were still the car's originals! I even viewed your YouTube video on Wheel Bearing Replacement on the Shadow for reference since it has been forever since I've done them. My car does have working e-brakes though. So you should see another paycheck for Google! coming!

When did Set 16 and Set 46 Timkin Bearings become so hard to find? I had to go to three different stores before I could come up with the inners and outers for both sides unless I wanted to settle for cheap China-made bearings.

A note to SDAC Drag Racers. The racing fuel will be available at the track in the morning before racing commences, but may not be available later in the day.

Glad the video helped, Fleck. Thanks for watching!

Still working on having a place to burn it.

Oh ok. I thought maybe it was something for people with too many valves.

No, those are called roll cages.

Speaking of drag racing, how is the track as far as the helmet requirement?
Which helmet specs will pass tech?
I haven't bought a new one recently, my old one is M95.
May have to order a new open face. My motorcycle full face is an M2005 though.

[contraption22]
