New Metallica tracks totally suck!
by brian @ 22:06:11 - [perma-link]
I haven't heard them, but I'm pretty sure that Metallica's new songs totally suck! Lars, you're still a tool.

Rally America Fan Appreciation
by brian @ 17:52:46 - [perma-link]
Josh and I went to the Fan Appreciation event at Pioneer Square this
morning. Lots of the rally cars competing this weekend were there on
display, and we put the FX16 right in the middle of it all. We didn't
get quite as much attention as Travis Pastrana and Ken Block, but
there were lots of people checking out our little car.
So many people told us, "I used to have one of those!" The guy I
bought it from showed up and was checking it out. We showed him some
of the things we've changed on it. He still looked a little sad that
he sold it, but I thanked him; I've had so much fun rallying this car
over the last year or so.
This weekend is going to be awesome!

Another trip to the U-Pull-It
by brian @ 16:41:12 - [perma-link]
I found almost everything I went looking for today. I got an airbox
out of a 1986 Celica that bolted right into stock mounting holes on
the rally car. Its neat how so many different Toyota parts transfer
so easily between the different models. The car didn't run well with
the Celica's larger-bored air-flow meter, but the one from my FX-16
mounted right to the box. I connected it to the intake with some
combination of the hoses and elbows I grabbed from the Celica, a
Camry, and another FX-16 that was in the yard. It could be better,
but it works for now. Its a shame it didn't run with the Celica "HF"
AFM, because the hose for it routed pretty much perfectly. I should
be able to make it work if I Megasquirt the motor after Oregon Trail.
In any case, the filter is inside the box now, so it shouldn't suck up
quite as much dirt as the old cone air filter that was in there. Most
importantly, it should make the scrutineers happier; everyone of them
has commented on how they didn't like how the old air intake was just
sort of sitting in there totally exposed and loose.
I also got the steering column switches off a Corolla. My wiper stalk
got broken off when we rolled over. The "new" one doesn't have cruise
control, but the rest of the cruise control had already been removed
from the car. It also doesn't have intermittent wipers, but
everything else works as it should. I didn't use the intermittent
much anyway. On the rally car the wipers are pretty much either off
or high speed.
Two more things checked off the list. Lots more to go. 9 days until
Oregon Trail Rally!
