Give me your car.

no can do, your Volvo would get jealous. :)

[MR 325]

The Volvo is fun and all, but I'd feel comfortable cheating on it.

[OldDrunkenSailor]

Then it's a good thing I'm looking out for your morality, sir.

Ask and you shall receive. The GoProHeroHD still isn't mounted yet, this is just a set of cell phone videos. These are just some pulls in 2nd/3rd gear while driving about.

I'm taking her up to the Lynnwood Cruise-In at Taco Time tonight. Anyone in the Seattle area, come say hi!

[OldDrunkenSailor]

It's been a long, mighty while since I posted anything on here (pointed out by one of the fine men of Gerber Motorsport in Ballard, WA, who took on the build).

Here's a pull, (25-80ish mph) and I can't quite remember what gear, second or third. The car jumped a little bit, so the 215s on the rears, while surprisingly sticky, just aren't quite cutting it.

If anyone wants to see me doing anything other than, well, going in a straight line, drop me a line (preferably with access to a closed course).

Anyway, here is it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0lrJmI0cxc

Speechless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chaz]

Thing sounds like a monster. 362is, love it!

[freeride53]

This thing sounds like a fucking animal. The kind that gets loose from the zoo and has to be put down. More videos, more videos!!! Lol btw, nice choice of Public enemy song in one of the videos...

[Blackout]

Haha..Hi tech GM items with low tech cassettes in the glove box. Itz funny..

[ACHTUNG]

Man, that thing seems like a beast. So sick.

Damn, this is impressive. I would love to see your car.

A bunch of us in the Seattle area goes to Dick's in North Seattle on Tuesdays to hang out. I don't know if we're doing it this week (people are complaining that it's getting too cold). People are thinking of replacing Dick's with a warmer, indoor event. Once we've got it figured out, you should bring your 362is out!

Thanks for the kind words, guys! Like I said, if people want to see other stuff with it, just let me know!

@cg138: I'll be there! Might be a little late since that's a little bit out from my fair Greenwood.

If you haven't changed the gearing from the other videos, i's a second gear pull.

This thing is fucking insane. Of all the things to be curious about, how did you rig the tach to read accurately?

[OldDrunkenSailor]

@Wh33lhop, you're more observant than I, second gear it is!

The instructions from the E30 LS1 didn't quite work out since 1991 was a peculiar year, but I actually wasn't there that day, my understanding is it wasn't too bad to get going. Pretty plug/play, it was just a pain finding the right things to plug. It definitely didn't take any software changes.

I was actually questioning what it was rev'ing at vs what the numbers are on the guage, but running it into the rev-limiter in that pull (and confusing myself something awful in the process) just about convinced me that it's lined up right.
