IHADAV8 Playground / Car ride

« on: March 24 2012, 05:49:09 PM »

Went for a ride in my car today after picking up 7 gallons of methanol.  This thing sucks down some methanol when you keep your foot in it!  Running 22 psi.  I'm loving it.

General Buick Tech / Intermittent Fan Problem

« on: March 18 2012, 04:16:17 PM »

Took the Buick out yesterday for a drive.    On the way back I noticed the engine running hotter than usual, and by the time I pulled into the garage and popped the hood it was 230 F.  When I popped the hood to check, both fans ( I have dual Spal fans) were not running.  I have a manual switch that can turn the fan on and it worked.  Later I started the car and let it warm up and the fans cycled properly.  It wasn't until later that I realized that I could check the ecm sensor by using the scan master.  I will check to make sure it is working correctly next time I take her for a spin.  Other than that, isn't' there a back up switch that is supposed to turn the fan on?  I need to read up on the fan wiring diagram.

IHADAV8 Playground / Car Was Delivered Last Night

« on: March 08 2012, 08:46:50 AM »

My car is back!  It has been up at Otto's shop for the last few months.  He did a ton of work to it and I could not be happier.   He said it made 423RWHP and 393#s of torque at 22#s with a 10.8 air fuel.  That's right at 500 HP at the flywheel with 15% drive train loss figured in.  I will make another post with all of the stuff done to it later.

IHADAV8 Playground / Warning:

« on: March 25 2009, 04:35:46 PM »

This guy will make you drink!!

My wife and I got to hang out with the infamous Brian Lynch aka 87Natty last Friday night in San Diego.

I was introduced to Buffalo Sweats.   Good thing I like bourbon with Tabasco sauce!

Around 11:00 my wife had had enough and we walked her back to the hotel.  On the way back we stopped and checked out Brian's GN and he showed us the painting he had done.



After we dropped her off we went out again and Brian got us into a club where he knew the manager and some of the security staff.  He told them I was a NASCAR racer in town and they let us cut in front of about 20 people waiting in line.  Then he scores us 2 free 32 oz beers at the bar.  The bartender was in awe meeting a real life NASCAR racer.

All-in-all it was a real fun time.  The pain came in the morning when we had to get up at 7:00 to go to the airport.  At least I didn't miss my flight this time!

Thanks to Brian for showing us a great time in San Diego!!!
