NW mini-meet pics (willwren, DrJay, driverjohn/driverEd)
Left Oregon at noon on Saturday, got into Tacoma at 3:15. Picked up DrJay, and we headed up to SW Seattle to work on Zach Odom's 87. Back down to Tacoma, did some scantool work on DrJay's car, then drove both over to Bonney Lake to see driverjohn and drieverEd. Got to meet driverGlenn, too! We swapped a 2.2" pulley on DrJay's car there, played with the water injection, and diagnosed John's nosedrive bearing failure.
Sunday, we didn't get started until 11am. We'd been up till about 4 that morning. Changed plugs and built another intake from scratch for DrJay's car. The old filter was only drawing 1200 on the MAF at idle. New intake draws 1500 on the MAF. That filter in the picture below holds water like a cup, and should be a warning. If it looks like a K&N, it may not flow like a K&N. The filter in the box is the one we ditched. Changed plugs/wires on Greenzilla, too. #4 wire was shorting through the insulation, and plugs were fouled from the alternator failure last week.

I doubt the #8 was in the trailer. ;) http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/2663S5eGr/90791.jpg My car got chopped: http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/2663S5eGr/90792.jpg DrJay at his place: http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/2663S5eGr/90794.jpg DrJay in my mirror: http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/2663S5eGr/90795.jpg driverjohn2005 playing with my water injection tank. Dumped the fill valve full of water at 65psi.

That Mt. Ranier shot is wicked!

That thing is one big bump. I shot that from a stoplight between auto parts stores. Helluva view. Mt. St. Helens isn't too far either.

What only 1 beer in your hand? Need ol' pdad there to keep the pace :twisted:

:lol: It was a light day. I had to leave soon after. Everything was a raging success other than Zach's car. And driverjohn's, but at least they know for sure what failed now.
Notice Ed with the Channel-Lock pliers on the SC pulley? We did the same with DrJay's. I used the infamous "Woodburn belt" to protect the pulleys. Left it with John as a trophy. ;) |

Great pics Bill. I like the one of Mt. Ranier also. I have flown over it several times. In the simulator. :wink:

Looks like you had a great mini meet. Pic of Mt Ranier was excellent. :)
