C4 Technical:: Any ideas on this problem
Thanks dan0617. I did get code 12,it flashed 3 times and started over, so according to the instructions, there were no other codes. I am going to look at wiring , vaccum and such this weekend to see if I can see anything. This all started suddenly and without prior symptoms. Keep your ideas and comments coming. I really want to get this fixed because the weather is perfect here right now.

Road Racing and Autocrossing:: SynchroRev Match Manual Transmission
Anybody else see this new feature on the Nissan 370Z? The car auto-blips the throttle for you on downshifts!

When is a manual not a manual? When will we see manual-sequentials in street cars?

Nov 22nd PBIR (Moroso) Corvette Challenge Race Event [by Crazy8]

Drag Racing:: Nov 22nd PBIR (Moroso) Corvette Challenge Race Event
OK...just talked to the track manager and here is the schedule of events for Saturday, November 22nd:

11:00am - Gates Open
12:00pm - Qualifying Runs/Test & Tune begins
4:30pm - Mandatory Drivers Meeting for ALL CHALLENGES
5:00pm - Eliminations begin

You have to be at the track and ready to get tech'ed in before 4:30pm. If you are not at the drivers' meeting, you will not be in the Challenge. If you miss the Qualifying, but make it in time for the Drivers' meeting, you can still race, you will just be racing "blind" as you won't know what to dial in on your first run.

The way the Qualifying Runs/Test & Tune will be run is the Challenge Drivers will get a qualifying run, then the Test & Tune will run. Once the Test & Tune runs are done, then it will be back to qualifying runs for Challenge drivers. This will continue until 4:00pm or so. This gives the possiblility of more than 2 qualifying runs (3 or maybe even 4 qualifiers, depending on the number of Test & Tune cars). Challenge drivers will get a minimum of 2 qualifiers...as long as you are there and tech'ed by 12:00pm. You can come later and can get in your qualifying runs with your Challenge Class, but you may not get 2 runs in, if you miss any of your Challenge Class qualifying runs.
Challenges that are being run:
Corvette Challenge
GM Challenge (any GM except Corvettes)
Truck Challenge
Mustang Challenge
Mopar Challenge
Z Challenge (open to: 240Z, 260Z, 280Z, 300Z, 350Z)

Cracks me up though at just the sight of him posting turns you upside down. I keep getting an image of a dog going ballistic and barking at a cat on the other side of a block wall. Dont know why I find it funny but I do.

Because it is funny. When this dude see's 3 letters with the middle letter being F, he goes into a rage.

I know all about the moderator's heads, which is nothing compared to those dart's. I bet his heads are "almost" if not exactly what AFR says they are in regards to intake port, and combustion chamber, two major things.

Remember I have been talking to members like him long before you joined. I know all about his street ports, and how much he paid for them, because I setup the price! :lol:

But guess what my street ports measured 65-66cc across the board. Guess what they were advertised as? 65cc!

Go figure!
