Off topic but, is anybody going to midnight madness at Eddyville this Friday?

 

[red97tib]

I would but being jobless my g/f doesn't want me out running around doing "useless" things. She just doesn't get what being a DSMer is all about.

I can't believe there aren't more people that regularly post on this thread. People said they were going and then quit? Even mekal has said very little.

 

[PIMking]

so does that mean your going redleader?

 

[redleader36]

to cordova? no, i can't. my talon is on jackstands and i have to get some yardwork and some work done around the house before my autocross event on sunday. plus that would be like a 5 or 6 hour drive for me :S

If you meant to ask if i am going to this des moines meet, hell yeah i plan on being there!

 

[PIMking]

You do know that this is a commited realasionship that requires you to do anything that involes your car over g/f wife, yardwork so on so on so on....

yeah, thats why i am planning yardwork around my autocross schedule. plus autocross is so much more fun than drag racing. (for me anyway)

[92TSIAWDPOTTER]

Its not starting right and when it does it doesnt run right it feels like a misfire and it sounds like a starter or flywheel problem.

CHange the plugs and wires and make sure the cas is tight mine was like that and didnt run worth a crap ntil i timed the car.

Plus it's turbo, before you dig too far into testing everything do a boost leak test. Boost leaks can cause several different problems.

no racing for me tomarrow...

Hey, if anybody is interested, my brother and I are going to Cedar Falls to race on Saturday. We will be leaving from Ames in the morning, will have full details later on. If anyone wants to or is interested give me a call, 515-250-0975. Hoping for a large turn out.

 

[92TSIAWDPOTTER]

The guy in indianola with the 90 tsi is trying to rip someone off i went and looked at it and the guy was talking out of his ass. the car is a POS. He offered it to me for 1000 bucks cause he had noone to buy it and he told me for 2500 he would throw a fully built motor with 400+ hp. It is a total rip off
