    I've heard of that. :anonymous:

    Now and then I put some of this junk in the tank as well..

    I have 10.5:1 TRW Flat Tops. Runs OK on crappy 92. Any more compression would be pushing it.

    How technology has changed in more modern motors, I'm at 12.5 on 92 and the GT3 engines are 12.9

    Happy Friday folks.

    Aerated my lawn yesterday, timing should be perfect with rain coming Sunday.
    Headed to Lime Rock with Mrs. SpruceMica for a day of Porsche Club of America racing spectating. Should be a nice day to be at the track and dinner on the way home.

    Good morning CT. Happy Friday. :yay:

    I think I need some sort of inventory system. I was looking at lengthening a harness I made and I needed pink 18 ga. wire and I'm all out. I ordered some, it will take three days to get.
    Hopefully the small piece of wire I found will be long enough, I'll mess with that during lunch today. I'll also start wiring the rear view mirror (waiting on 1/8" tubing that should be here today :thumbsup: ).

    We only got to cruise a little of the BRP yesterday sadly due to time constraints. We have driven the whole thing before and will again next summer in the Miata and have much more fun doing it.

    Oh! And immediately after leaving Greensboro and heading to Charlotte i saw the most Carolina squat truck I've ever had the misfortune of seeing!

    You tell a younger tech something and he doesn’t listen. I’ll just watch him struggle.

    Well at least it wont be a cat code or something to do with the EVAP system so I'd say that's a plus.
