  1. true story if you where interested in doing cold calls.
  2. well I can strap a chain to the subbie and your chair and we can go skiing
  3. Well, Job market is sucky atm so i'm spending my down time trying to get my camera shit going full time. It's soooo nice to be able to work at night again.
  4. Lower car payment ftw. We were looking for a forester or outback and I was having a crappy time finding one that was clean or was resonably priced. Leaving Byers I spotted the most aweomse blue forester. I cruise into germain and sitting right next to it I found this. I got it for 13k with 59k miles. It's clean and everything checked out data logged and inspected. I will never own a new car again. http://www.40roll.com/wrx1/100_0939%20(Medium).JPG http://www.40roll.com/wrx1/100_0938%20(Medium).JPG http://www.40roll.com/wrx1/100_0936%20(Medium).JPG http://www.40roll.com/wrx1/100_0934%20(Medium).JPG
  5. They do make software virtual carbs No way in hell would I call me first for a megasquirt 5.0 eather. It took me 2 years to be confident enough on subarus to even offer to do something to a car. And we both know damn well you also tune with dental tools..... GIGGLE
  6. I personally prefer a in bung censor over a sniffer any day of the year. I know from personal experiance that IPS's sniffer is off by a correctable factor but it is annoying. But not everyone has a bung. Diffrent mod levels of cars require diffrent tuning tools. Ie EGT, WB , Oil Temp , Though brady when I have money I so want to hit the heartbreaker
  7. Calling everyone? I just posted this little bit ago and been hangin with the wife. I've not spoke to anyone car related . I won't put you on ignore as I like you rob, I consider you a wealth of automotive knoweldge, But you even made comments about it when we where at your shop. It just pisses me the fuck off when I'm stating something that a fact and your response was argueing with someone who dabbles. I am senstive about tuning, I had to put up with some complete bullshit when I started that was so fony it was a joke. Then later I find out shops plagerize my work. It would make you a bit edgey to. If you built stangs for a hobby and loved to help people because you enjoyed building stangs and had people piss on you it would make youtouchy to. I stop here rob, I have no epeen to prove or anything else, You know I've spread good word about you and you've done work on my friends cars. I would prefer not create some riff because of a stupid internet thread.
  8. I did not see that thread. I'm not argueing jack rob. I'm trying to show you that your just interpeting the gauge. Blah . I know limits to. Do you see me tuning 500hp cars? no . But I've done plenty of stage 1 and 2 and few stage 3 cars including put maps out for the open community that have be crituqed and given a thumbs up. I do this as a hobby and I think its great I've been the target of slander for no god damn reason. Lets see a car that MY TUNE fucked up. Grants car was not that. So I'm not sure why you assume that tuning is such a magical thing that someone can't learn how to do it and be able to make some power safely in a span of three years. Thats how long I've been "dabbling", and I've been tuning other peoples cars for about a year on a semi regular basis. I did teach myself about computers too or am i just dabbling there. I'm not sure what in your head has it set that I'm "incapable" because grants car sure the hell was not my fault and that was admitted. Why don't you take my car or shit I can call 4 or 5 legacy GT owners if you like and see how my cars run. So we can sum it up. Rob for some reason thinks I can't tune, Though my car is one of the faster ones in the nation with its setup. So I guesse were done. Your right I have no clue what I'm doing, I'll keep doing my thing you do yours. :gtfo:
  9. I was talking with a trained Lambo tech and he said its acceptable to burn up to 1 quart in 750-1000 miles on a performance car non raced.
  10. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. What is this Tune In lambda sensor convert it nonsense. EVERY o2 sensor is a Lambda Sensor. The sensor is not converting. The voltage output on the analog line of your wideband controller is configured to scale your voltage out based on lambda. Look at a LC-1 analog output config. I could make 1.0 show up as 22 if I wanted just by the voltage curve. I'm just not sure what the heck your trying to say. If my gauge says 14.7 that means lambda 1 no matter what fuel is in it. If it is running E85 thats what it says if its running 100octane that is still 1. This is unverisal across the board. Like I'm trying to explain. We all tune in lambda since the gauges are nothing more then lambda gauges. the notation you make your gauge display or the serial output is irrelvant. 14.7=1 lambda on my gauge no matter what fuel is in it. Why would I tune in lambda when the subaru ecu does not even have a method to denote target fueling in that fashion? It's in stanard gasoline AFR. Go download rom raider. Open up a stock ecu rom file and read look and explore. You will understand more what I'm talking about. I'm not trying to be a dick rob. I am just trying to explain to you how the gauges actually display things. If you look at my fuel curve on my car it is pretty smooth. Shit even cory told me on the phone that my fuel table on grants car was great and he only picked up power from timing and boost really. If your interested I'm going to be tuning the outback in the near future if you want to sit down I will show you exactly how subaru fueling strategies work.
  11. I will be posting interior pics tonight I need to resize them and shit. I started it up for the first time in over a month today and it turned right over.
  12. Really need cash we just got a new car.
  13. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091019/ap_on_bi_ge/us_car_fights_back_2 Now I want to research the onstar system..........
  14. Wide-band sensor The newer “wide-band” O2 sensor solves the narrow sensing problem of the previous Zirconium sensors. These sensors are often called by different names such as, continuous lambda sensors (lambda representing air-fuel ratio), AFR (air-fuel ratio sensors), LAF (lean air-fuel sensor) and wide-band O2 sensor. Regardless of the name, the principle is the same, which is to put the ECM in a better position to control the air/fuel mixture. In effect, the wide-band O2 sensor can detect the exhaust’s O2 content way below or above the perfect 14.7:1 air/fuel ratio. Such control is needed on new lean burning engines with extremely low emission output levels. The tighter emission regulations are actually driving this newer fuel control technology and in the process making the systems much more complex and difficult to diagnose. All widebands are lambda the LC1 does all there work in lambda and I display it as standard AFR. But 14.7 = 1. When I data log my lc1 I can show it in lambda but I prefer to see it in gasoline notation. So my car's fuel on E85 is 11.6 which is .80. 14.7 is not my afr. My Stoiche is actually 9.765 in AFR Notation. But I do not have my gauge set to display in E85 I have it set to display in Gasoline. But eather way its only converting the LAmbda. This is why cars use there o2 sensor to decide fuel trims to compensate for things like fuel brands oil and additives. This is why in the winter all 100% e85 car would start pulling fuel since they would be adding more regular gas. Allot of people neglect there O2 Sensor and its a shame. My car gets horrible gas milage. and my check engine light has been on for 2 months...... Yeah.
  15. I will take inside pics. the power windows do work. as do i locks. I tried to take a few pics before I will take some more. If I were to keep it I would get a 4cycl and swap everything interior and all.
  16. The rails are not rusted out but there is rust by there. The interior is in good shape the motor seems to run good. Miles 207k Clean title. It really would be a great donor for a swap. I'm open to offers. http://www.40roll.com/stang/
  17. Well I need to cut back and save some money so here it goes. It was short lived. The car is in descent shape the body is rough but it drives straight and runs fine. The tranny is missing 5th gear but the clutch and everything else feels fine. I over paid for it so I'm going to take a loss. But with my current job state I need to save money. 2100$ OBO 1989 Mustang LX 5.0 King Cobra Clutch / Adjuster / PRO 5.0 Shifter / flow master catback / Catless H Pipes I was told there was mild motor work done when it was rebuilt but no further info. I really have no clue. PIcs http://www.40roll.com/stang/100_0775.JPG http://www.40roll.com/stang/100_0773.JPG http://www.40roll.com/stang/100_0774.jpg http://www.40roll.com/stang/100_0776.JPG
  18. oppose to tuning in what? I think its a pretty much industry wide practice to tune with widebands. But yeah I agree with you. Oil BAD !!! I would like to put a catch can on mine but I can't spend money atm
  19. Don't oil get into the intake the stream and get burnt up? I never poured a quart of oil out of my intercooler but I know I was down about a quart.Like I said I'm paranoid about checking my fluids. Maybe I'm overly cautious because I daily drive my car. It sucks it blew up and I'm happy to hear you have it together. Sadly I have nothing cool to bring to the table to run you with. Then again Pauls nutty enough to think he has a chance. Maybe if fate smiles nicely I will have a 2.5 bugeye to play with you. Though I doubt it.
  20. over 75% of the turbo subarus I've seen will coat the inside of there intercoolers. Thats stock btw if the cars are driven hard. Every oilchange my buddy bill's legacy gt will lose about 1/2 a quart. Now Me on the other hand between oilchanges assuming no trackdays/dyno tuning I lose max 1 quart. Mines done it since the day I got it.
  21. Including a trackday and dyno tuning time I ate up just over a quart in less then 1000 miles. But my subaru has always eaten oil. I have no leaks. I really need to add a catch can but ehhh. I can hear when my car needs oil. as soon as its about a 1/2 quart low it sounds like a 3.4gm at initial startup. But that was about 10 pulls on the dyno, 3 passes and some top end play. But like I said my car eats oil and always has. But I do always make checks before I go down the track or put my car on the dyno. If I'm Beating the shit out of my car I want to make sure its happy. I can't fault someone else though for not going over the same process as I do. Mine has been tweaked because of my cars nom nom of oil. You know as well as I do that your more likely to blow oil at WOT. If those 1500 miles were all racing miles I could see eating up oil but I have no clue what a LS1 eats compared to say a EJ205 or even a EJ25x for that matter.
