NOR-CAL General Chat.

[mr2peak]

yeah, it's been weeks. Chris is as MIA as ever, and none of us mods have the keys to recover whatever's wrong (which is a shame, since fixing shit like that is what i do for a living...)

it's probably not coming back; use wayback machine to search for whatever old content you need.

a guy named "digger" from AUS put together a tuned M20 ITB setup, and i'm guessing you're searching for content like that... start with him.

I've got a nice FB page full of RHD ITB owners, so that's covered. Digger is a member.

What I really need is all the megasquirt info tucked away in there. Way more intelligent M20 info there than here. Also all the porting and flow results that I remember seeing ages ago.

Does anyone have a workspace/jack/extra hands they'd be willing to let me use this weekend? I've got a decent basic set of tools, but I live in an apartment on a hill and have a few projects I'd like to accomplish this weekend. CSB/Guibo/front sway links.

I'd be happy to pay a few bucks or buy a case of beer or whatevs.

This is kinda cool, right hand drive Mtech 2 325. Likely hard to register, but cool nonetheless. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/5716131652.html

Where has everyone gone? FB R3v is dead, nor call chat is dead.
We need another Trina

Just working a crazy amount and starting to play my horn again. Haven't had time/motivation to do much car stuff aside from frantically prepping the thing for Laguna HPDE.

Thanks to AlonzoS for helping me polish up my baby.

a lot, you can almost fit the 135's chargepipe in the wheel gap lmao anyway, it's gonna go up on BaT thursday, I've driven it three times in 3 months and with the NK being here and not having a covered spot for it, I don't wanna be the reason the dash cracks. And I want an NA and a bit of extra money.

The first time they've met

I received a (not so) friendly not from Fremont's finest this weekend.
I have my totaled 325iS on the driveway and an old truck parked to the side of the driveway over gravel (I will need to replace the gravel with paving of some sort).

The police returned my call today and said it should be okay if I put a car cover on it (and not a blue tarp...), and the wheels are aired up.

Hopefully the ebay cover comes soon.

Hm, mine's been there like that since May, granted, my street isn't in a big city or even a busy area of my small-ish city. Either way, it gets picked up on Saturday so the driveway cleaning will commence and we'll have all our spots back open, so that'll be nice!

I received an update from the machine shop today. The head is in perfect condition but the cam and rockers are pretty worn out. Would anyone have any interest in a cleaned and resurfaced 885 I head? It's also going to have the valves cleaned, cut, and polished; followed by freshly machined valve seats, custom made valve guides/stems, great condition springs and new seals. Basically a blueprint on the valves as the shop said! All you'd need is a sexy new cam and some billet rockers to make this bad boy hold all the power you desire! (or reuse your current ones)

Hmmm.... I have a Euro 2.3L cam tucked away in my garage somewhere.
Could be interesting.
