no, the tractor just wouldn't start. once it's going it'd be fine (longest commute EVER at ~8mph). Been driving the v8. Deferred maintenance on the fleet is rapidly catching up with me lol.

With all those vehicles I would expect one to run proper

I would be down to come. 8-9 hour drive isn't that bad to see a bunch of Volvos at the drag strip and on the dyno. Hopefully I will be able to bring a brick if not then probably my C70 or XC70. If I bring my XC I'll put it on the dyno if it's an AWD dyno. I have a couple of things I'm doing to it, gonna try to see if I can match a stock STI in power on the dyno.

Its a 2 wheel dyno

linuxman51 · 01-05-2019, 06:19 PM

you pull the fuse for awd and it's fwd. we dyno'd isaac's R last year

the bigger challenge is getting it to stay in a gear. I have some ideas for that too though

CAPT_BLOTTO · 01-06-2019, 01:12 PM

CAPT_BLOTTO · 01-16-2019, 05:01 PM

Front or rear? The ones on my '79 are in 6-7/10 condition. I have really nice condition set to put on, and no use for the okayish set once I remove them.

CAPT_BLOTTO · 01-23-2019, 04:15 PM

I'm hoping Marvelous can bring me one from Wren.

linuxman51 · 01-24-2019, 10:01 AM

I can probably help facilitate that. Not sure if ill be in the red wagon or the grey sedan but I can probably make it work.

Harlard · 01-24-2019, 10:37 AM

Oh snap, on my birthday weekend no less

DNAsEqUeNcE · 02-03-2019, 01:15 PM

Sweet, i should be in. I will take the R.

propav8r · 02-11-2019, 03:31 PM

I'm out. Just realized that a local motorcycle show I had previously committed to helping with is that weekend.

fige · 02-19-2019, 06:23 PM

Boo hiss

propav8r · 02-19-2019, 08:50 PM

Maybe I'll come anyway. Barber is awesome, I'd love to hit that again. Might help sway my decision if Fige would ride down with me.

Either way, I have some time off surrounding that date.

You ever run that 12sec pass

stick70 · 02-23-2019, 01:34 PM

Should still be in. I've got some stuff I should do to the wagon, but nothing that will prevent it from coming.
