I Feel the need

Sun 23 Oct 2005 07:29:35 AM
Well been pissing down pickhandles for last 2 days.
Today its all mist and very fine rain.
So its off for about a 2 hour drive both ways in Whitey. Be its first long drive since the re build.
Weather conditions just great with cool moist air being sucked into the stump puller.
A bit of AC/DC ,Bon Jovi,Guns & Roses will set the mood.
Fire it up!!!

Fire Up for sure!

Sounds all too good, I'd love to get around to boosting my k11, but haven't had the time this past year. I am so envious of all these forced micras that keep popping up lately.

Let us know how it goes in the wetter conditions. I dont think you have an LSD in whitey at the moment from memory of what I have read so it will be interesting to see how it goes with all this new torque from you most recent mods :P

How long have you predicted it will be before you're wanting to tinker with that SC14 blower you have on "loan" from Errol?

hehe

Have fun!

Very funny Daily Ricer.Lol November rain in October!!
Well Whitey home after a 220kl round trip. A lot of up and down many hills while making sure I was seeing 120kph most of the time plus rounding up the slow movers.On and off boost and was well not driving it in save petrol mode.
So averaged 9kl/litre which was what I expected.
So reckon on mainly flat roads sticking to 5th gear and just cruising around 10 kl/litre will be about it.

Yeah, I realised I had my months mixed up as soon as I hit send, Doh! I think I am just looking forward to December for the xmas/new years period and my time off work.

Its so sad to think that fuel economy decreases at almost the same rate as engine power output increases. But I would definately say that the "grin factor" helps take the pain away.

No, daily ricer I was talking about the song November Rain !!
Yep as the power goes up so does the fuel burn rate but if I get around 10kl/litre and are having a lot of fun that is okay.
