What unit are you with? I will be in your neck of the planet very soon, but we have a group here and in Fayetteville that are always willing to give a helping hand.

 

Never mind just saw on your profile that you are a contractor.

 

Yea, sall good though, im mixed in with all sorts or military folks over here. Im stuck in Bagram air base, which is better than some places but boring as hell. but ne ways, maybe ill meet ya here.normally almost all troops stop through bagram at one point in time as soon as they leave Manas. So yea one question though, do you know anyone that might be able to help me set up my coilovers when i get home, im running 18x 8.5 in gram lights and want to know the best set-up for daily driver/ track attack car. n e help you could give would be great

 

For suspension work you may want to talk to the Fayetteville guys. I believe a lot of them do the aftermarket suspensions. E VOL IX would probably be the best person to talk to or crewdawg.

 

Thanks. i was just wonderin about set-up issues i might run into. and ride height suggestions. nothin major. livin in jacksonville i really dont wanna have to drive to fayetteville to get n e help if i need it lol. no offense to those guys, but im very capable at doing most of the work i need done for R&R in my drive way. As stated in my profile ive been workin on cars for several years. If any of you have been around jacksonville for a while you might have seen my old car, which may seem a bit retarded but it was actually pretty nasty around the turns, it was a silver Ford escort zx2. lol yea yea laugh now but lemme tell you there were alot of feelings hurt on old 30 and gregory fork road by that car. well n e ways enough rambling. thanks alicea for the tip on who to talk to about suspension. and good luck in afghanistan, when are you looking to leave out of NC? i might still be here when you come through

 

I knew what you meant that is why I said those two were the ones to talk to. They are both mechanical types and can pretty much give you advise on anything, bigric is the one you need to talk to about tuning if you plan on getting that done. I was here from 93-97 and again from 2000 to today. Can't say I remember your car though, unless I seen it at the dragstrip I probably wouldn't remember it. I leave very, very soon so we will be in country at same time, I just won't be operating in that area.

 

Oh ok. whoops my bad. anyways, oh ok so you wont be in bagram. Well yea i never really drag raced it, things break to easy when you drag race. lol i blew up a transmission from drag racing, couldnt handle the touque output lol oh well. But yea it was a nasty little beast of a car. But yea good luck on ur deployment hope all ends well. no offense about the drag racing stuff but yea road racing is where its at lol. AWD is made for the twisties man lol but n e ways thanks for the tips

 

hey brian look me up when you get home, when do you get home, theres two evos on two lots here been there for a hot minute, 1 gg mr at sanders ford, and 1 blue 8 at extreme motorsports, both been sittin there with alot of lookers but nobody serious. hope to meet up with you soon.

 

yea man i look forward to meeting all you guys when i get back. **** is boring over here. im ready to turn wrenches again lol. but yea n e of you guys go out cruizin on twisty roads? or just drag racers? no offence but thats not me lol. but n e ways do you guys have regular meets or just the same ole gay **** up at roses parking lot? Which unfortunately i used to hang out there lol ( insert ricer joke here) lol but n e ways hope to meet all u guys in march when i get home for R&R maybe some of you guys could stop by while i install my parts when i get home and gimme a hand. and ill deff. look at the MR at sanders. thanks for the tip.

 

Ben... logs ? or did turning the boost back down to 27 fix the issue ?

Bob... news ?

 

My wife had the laptop at work and the last time I did a log the car was acting weird. Hestitation after full boost, backfire/misfire, so I had to back off it. I changed the spark plugs yesterday since they have been in for almost 20,000 miles and will try to log it today. Rain sucks.

 

any updates yet

 

I haven't pulled a log of 4th yet. The car is back to idling super rich again though. Like 11.2 at idle. I don't understand that...but everything else is fine. No probs. I'll try to get you a log asap..

 

very strange.... maybe she just needs me to touch her every so often lol

 

seriously. I think that was the ONLY time it was idling right. Sometimes it's really rough, others it will idle at 12.0 and be just ok at idle. I could see it acting up after beating on it, but it's just cruising around.
