I'd love to, but I'll be in MD at around Noon on Thursday. what time are you planning on arriving?

we should arrve on wednesday evening, if all goes according to plan...

If all goes well let me know when you get near Cleveland. You will be driving within 5 miles of my house. RJ is flying in Tuesday evening and we are leaving first thing in the AM Wednesday. Would be awesome to hook up with the C2C gang Wednesday to drive to OC.

Everyone is invited Tuesday night for beer, showers, and sleep. :thumbup: Got beds, couches, and air mattresses available.

Hope someone plans on keeping the rest of us up to date since Lucky and Handsome won't be traveling with you.

Paul, I can't help as much as Tom, but call if you need moral support.

Tom, is it home?

Otti, are you still bringing the chrome trim. I got $$$$ for you in OC.

why should i leave the trim in germany??? just hope it does not get damaged in the plane...

:)

good luck man, ryan's bustin his ass too on the corrado, just some encouragement for ya... you're definitely not the only one cutting it close

yeah he must be working his butt off :)

cant wait to see how things turn out for his wide body rado :D

getting close.. whats the good word?

Paul, you are getting the new carbs tomorrow right? Are you done with work and its all about the car now right? I'm giving you my good vibes, can you feel them?

love you guys - thanks for the support!
i am still at work in NW MA. Driving down tonight....should be in Philly around 1:30AM if i am lucky - get up in the AM and go pick up my new carbs, coils, paint, etc....

should be in a better place come this time tomorrow (or so i hope)

;)

paint?

Like he said /\ ???? What are you painting at this point?

So the drillers broke the rods off at 100 meters and had to start the last hole again. I've been flying 8-10 hours a day and drinking like an alcoholic at night to stay sane.
Supposedly both drills will be done by Sunday. I'm going to make the show this year if I have to steal this fucking helicopter and fly there myself.

Tuesday night :beer2: :beer2:
Wednesday :dance: :drive:
Thursday :spankit: When we see Pauliepoos' Bling

(paint) new carbs that i have almost already destroyed.
come on RJ!

ah, makes sense, wont have time to get them like the other ones :thumbup:

i officially hate carbs.

:(

lol took a corner too hard at 3am last night.... took 2 huge chunks of wheel off my MB S550 driver's side .... along with a nice sidewall slice. :(

thank god for Ariel & that its almost time to flip on to the winter setup....


/end of mk5 rant


...going to speed shop to pick up a new part because i destroyed the original yesterday.....

ultra ultra lows are fuuuuuuuuuuuuking loooooooooooooow (compared to v3's)

Stufffing the carbs with blue cheese is not a break in procedure Paul. Keep the carbs from ingesting cheese and they should be fine.

fuck this shit

well i didnt get my carbs tuned tonight............fuel all over the place... plugs were wet Tom..........

finally got my H&R ultra ultra lows on - here she sits with a bit of windage to go... I am also happy to say that after 20+ sets of wheels and hours of researching I got my stance SPOT ON. You will have to wait for those pics :)

screw pics, i wanna see that stance at h2o :thumbup:

Float level is two pages back.

" Float level, in mm, typically refers to the distance from the face of the carburetor top cover to the float. With the top cover held vertically (float pivot at the top) and the float tab (Lc) resting against, but not depressing the spring loaded ball in the needle valve, measure between the face of the carburetor top cover to the top or bottom of the float. On carburetor models where it is required to remove the float to replace the top cover gasket, the measurement should be made with the gasket in place to the gasket face."


why does this sound like fucking eskimo?? if the float level is resting against, but not depressing the spring loaded ball in the needle valve, why do you need to measure?? ok Paul shutup and stop overthinking this......... :chair:

...then I see the little side note at the bottom of the diagram and get more confused.... :shake:

brass float only?
specs may vary?
Plastic float height 12.5mm to tip of float?
OK I know I have plastic floats...........I DONT HAVE BRASS. Is this just another example of me chasing my tail & getting NOWHERE at the end? I THINK SO :mad: :weak: :rant:

WTF! :wow:

As I felt that maybe these diagrams were a little cryptic, I decided to look elsewhere for more info..........and it got more confusing!!! same carb.............diff float height..... WTF?!?!

sorry mang, but what don't you understand? just set it to like 12.5ish

when the float raises in the carb it will hit the ball on the valve. measure the distance. when the valve is depressed by the rising float, measure the distance. if the first of the two is off, bend the tab slightly to set it correctly.

easypeasylemonsqueezy.

Make yours look like this.

and sir..............you will be seeing her :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

great to hear man!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah i redid the cams (again)
the biggest bitch today was the syncing of the carbs
the floats (BTW) were a bit off........
the idle screw linkage setup was a little diff that the other setup I had so I really had to crank down that idle screw to get it where I could sync them.

I feel bad that I turned down Ariel (owner of Perfect Metal Finishing) to get together tomorrow to detail the fuuuukk out of the 78 but she is running so poorly (took her for a spin a few mins ago - lean all out) that I didnt feel comfortable with him polishing my turd the way it was.

Hopefully things will go better tomorrow...and I cant actually focus on aesthetics like I always do.......pfft

ahhhhhhhhhhh so fucking sweet :)
still a bit lean ..... but OMG I got her up to 4th gear and WOW!!!

now i gotta clean her up .................. WAAAAH :(

now get cleaning biznitch. drop the anal ease.

Ariel is coming along with me :)

I might just Quilmes myself :o

:D
