Northern Virginia Roll Call

http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/performance-tuning/183560-write-up-torque-app-obd2-reader.html here is the thread on it.

 

Ok, so I'm not the only one who's clutch felt "gooey" this morning.

 

Ive seen several references to torque but havent done any follow up on it. Ill have to take a look at it and see how it does.

 

It took me about half the ride to work the last couple days (25 miles each way) before the clutch felt normal again. All my cars clutches felt like that in weather colder than 20* or so. I just wish my 2 car garage was actually big enough for 2 cars.

 

Basically the app is ~$5 - adapters are as little as ~$20

Or you could use the free version to check if it works.

Theres also a site to find these paid apps for free...

 

My automatic felt fine...

Holy crap! SNOW! Maybe like an inch but who cares thats more than Ive seen in a while haha.

 

Yep, it started @ 22:38. Steady powder. Stopped 04:53

 

still goin here barely, got about 1.5 inches. like you said john, atleast its something!!

 

Started stronger again here too.

 

Yeah it wasn't snowing in Chantilly when I left but down in Hoodbridge it's still going. I doubt itll be enough to accumulate any more but its still coming down. I heard we might get more tomorrow night too.
Finally got to play with my locker anytime this morning

 

I haven't had issues with the traction today. Still want a set of the Mud Country's though.

 

oh mine was fine too. I just wanted to feel how the rear would react with the diff locked in 2wd

Ill miss it tomorrow, hittin the road early to freeze my ass off at shoecreek!

I didnt either till i intentionally did it

 

I tried it, vehicle was going 20mph - spedo was reading ~70.

 

damn traction control kicked in was gonna turn it off for more fun but ran outa snowy road. Maann..i remember one year i took the 97 blazer i drove in HS to the parking lot at the nearby middle school and had so much fun doing doughnuts and just sliding around. Did like 6 consectutive ones across the parking lot, at a slow speed of course. Was way too scared to loose control!

 

So is anyone up for a mod/meet day? I was thinking about one either Feb 3rd or Feb 10th, possibly at PinkTaco's house, if he will host us again For those who didn't make our last one, it was pretty fun. Got to do some wrenching, had some mean hot dogs grilled by Luke (PinkTaco), and just talked about Taco's.

Might be down... Will bring tools, funds are at a low right now so would be just to get out of the house.

If anyone wants any of the wheels and tires I have for sale, i can bring them

 

I set up a thread for the possible meet day, so chime in if you want.
