Re: the 1:1 scale car thread
Have not been here much lately..been working hard at it though
79 euro spec 320/6 it has an 2.0L six with a 5 speed up grade and 3.91 LSD for a rear end gears.
Did not run when we brought it home - but then

Then after some track time with it breaking everytime out -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmByiyeCXxw
Second part of track
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTY2HcUcm3o
And the kid taking his turn at it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LahEM2Ug2R4
We made it through a full day of 21 runs 1.4 miles long each - the kid took second in class while dad .....
Adam ran out of gas on his last timed run so I was off to find more anything, got back and never slowed down only three cars in my run group left and then had to go out and work so I choked and tried to hard. but had a great time anyway.
Need to work on milage next - at $7.95 per gallon for 110oct racing fuel only getting 2.5 miles per gallon sucks! I do believe R/C racing is cheaper!!!
BUT sliding the BUTT AROUND IS WORTH IT
Hope you enjoy the videos.

Re: the 1:1 scale car thread
Thanks for the kind words a01butal, and you are correct you have purchased from me in the past. I came across this sight recently and it looked interesting so I gave it a shot.

Re: the 1:1 scale car thread
Not my daily driver but never the less mine for the last 20 years. Mileage is 6550 and that's probably the biggest selling point of this 88 Vette(not for sale). Must have been the onset of my midlife crisis back then.

I just had the 40k service done on my vw today, I didn't pay that much for my first car
Vw and their quirky/proprietary stuff It's a crazy obsession.
Transmission fluid was $22 per liter, luckily I only needed 5L

Re: the 1:1 scale car thread
Oooh, I'll join in the VW fun. 99.5 2.0L, quirky in that it has manual windows and manual but heated mirrors.
No pesky 01M auto transmission for me, although the wife's 97 has one. Not bad once you access "sport mode"...

Re: the 1:1 scale car thread
i would like to invite you to have your 30k service done in a german vw or bmw garage
you would never again complain about $22 per liter. why do you need 5l of that, automatic transmission? i only need 1.5 liter
(actually it only needs a change every 80k kilometers).
i had a vw golf II that wasn't that cheap in service, but the bimmer, mercedes and bmw service tops it all by far.
full service on the 911 (including spark plugs) is around $3000 no kidding.

Re: the 1:1 scale car thread
I hope this is ok here, as I dont really have anything to show off, but I could REALLY use some 1:1 help. Any of you have idea where I might find a Pin Location Chart for the Plugs on the ECM of my 92 Chevy Cheyenne Pickup with a 4.3 engine?
Ive GOT to trace down a few possible problems causing my MAYBE 10-12 MPGs, and this is where Im starting. Ive tried to Googled it a few times, but just cant come up with anything.
Any help with this Chart would be MORE than appreciated.

Re: the 1:1 scale car thread
Heres my daily hack & toy.
It's a 1971 Superbug with a Subaru WRX Turbo (Impreza) engine in the back. This is my first car that my parents bought me back in 1992. Wrx engine has been in there since 2004. Has 201hp @ the wheels (150kw) on only 8psi boost.
Lots of fun!
regards
jak
