After many months of having issues with my 4-6 cyl carb I finally got it all figured out and fixed. Carbs still need some more tuning though. So since it was so nice today I went for a cruise with some fun twisties. Enjoy

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I love these clips. I was trying to see the RPM and the speed but it wasn't clear enough. What engine? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Nice roads and looks like a lot of fun. I can't wait to get my car out of the shop. By the way thats a very interesting steering wheel you have. Never seen that before.

The engine is from a 1970 911T which has the 2.2L 6 Cyl with triple barrel Zenith's. The engine is custom built with different internals from the E and S spec engines from the same year of 911's. The RPM's were around 4-5500 depending on the turn. Speed was between 45-60 depending on the turn and I was in 3rd the whole time.

I got it from my brother in law as a birthday gift. It's a MOMO Benetton collectors steering wheel. It has different colored stitching. |

Maybe next weekend you can bring it up and I can double chek a few things on it before the AX (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) . Want to make sure you are able to get the most out of it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
Wish I could have run the Phoenix with it but soon PeeGreen will be able to have some fun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Nice work James (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) |

Very nice James; love that sound! Just one question: why is your top on? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Too cold out. It was about 45 out and plus trying to keep down on the noise for the camera. It's not a go pro. |

That would be great if we could do that. Will have to see though but it doesn't seem like it will be a problem at all. Yeah I miss your old Phoenix too. |

If I had known you would have joined me possibly I would have called you. My bad! I figured everyone would be getting drunk. That would be sweet if we can get the northeners down here but I believe they are afraid to stay in the southern area for more than a few hours. I was on hwy 7 by Adler lake. Their are a lot of dips in the turns and they make it even more fun. What's hurricane ridge Mike? |

Hurrican ridge is this summer as well ...I hope Troys the set up man on that one MikeC (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Now I know I'm not the sharpest tool in the drawer, but you couldn't have been trying all that hard. . . I'm ALWAYS up for a good day in the driver seat (so long as I'm NOT following Kelty and Greenie (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) )!! Put this on te calender when the weather gets warmer so we can go top-down and I'm all in!! Hurricane Ridge is good too. Summer's long; we could actually do BOTH!!
