Pro-Kart

Gairloch · 05-07-2008, 12:36 AM

Anyone interested in hitting ProKart this Friday evening? It's my only day off this week.

Stig · 05-07-2008, 12:58 AM

<- Burnsville, I'm done at work at 8, so there by 8:30

canadam · 05-07-2008, 01:03 AM

Minnesota is so close to Canada, and so far from me

I'd love to lap you any day, Jeff

Gairloch · 05-07-2008, 01:13 AM

I love your optimism, Adam! Keep it up!

Mr2nerkitty · 05-07-2008, 03:31 AM

I wont be able to make it I will be in Chicago this weekend at HIN for a modeling Gig.

erioshi · 05-07-2008, 11:18 AM

I might be able to come play. Have fun at HIN, I briefly considered going with some of the Evo guys, but my car isn't quite ready yet.

Today's activities include installing my wideband as a semi-permanent Evo fixture and reworking my fuel injector scaling & fuel trims...

Tweaking fuel trims is a pain because because everything feels backwards. A larger injector size value means you deliver less fuel; a negative fuel trim means that your ECU is actually telling you you have too much fuel while a positive fuel trim value is telling you you're running lean. Increasing injector latency value decreases the amount of fuel coming out of the injector. It's all counter intuitive, lol.

At least after this I can finally get the car dialed in to where I'll finally see if one Walbro 255 fuel pump can deliver enough fuel .. although I suspect it's going to be too small. If so then I'll get to build a twin pump fuel delivery system...

So where did I park my MKII?

My v6 swap keeps sounding easier...

Stig · 05-09-2008, 11:01 AM

I'm out, I forgot I work early the next morning (my saturday for the month). next time fo' sure

Gairloch · 05-12-2008, 05:20 AM

Steve and I have been talking about next weekend. Would Friday evening work for you guys? I know Jason doesn't get off work unitil 8.

firesk8ter · 05-17-2008, 11:58 AM

Yeah! Whats happenin? I thought we ware gonna try for prokart this weekend! IDK I gotta work anyhow today but not till 5pm. Guess well have ta try it next weekend.

Gairloch · 05-17-2008, 05:44 PM

They're open until 9 on Sunday but that'd be a bit of a stretch. Mike and I aren't free until about 8.

firesk8ter · 05-18-2008, 11:49 AM

Maybee next weekend unless you wanna do it tommorow or on tuesday?

Gairloch · 05-19-2008, 07:57 PM

How's about friday before we go to the show Ashley was talking about?

firesk8ter · 05-20-2008, 03:09 AM

Sounds cool but we dunno where the shows at! Thinkin it might be in wisconsin. Either way we can still cruiz in the MiniR2's. We gotta figure out a time though. Maybee sometime in the afternoon. God I am goin ta be so buisy this weekend! LOL

Gairloch · 05-20-2008, 09:02 PM

I'm up for it pretty much any time on Friday after 3.

firesk8ter · 05-20-2008, 09:13 PM

Well how bout we make it for four then cause I got invited ta drink up with some buddies at st.cloud. Dont think ima go to that one show Alisha was talkin about. To far and I got way to many things goin on for the weekend. But I gota make some time for pro-kart

Gairloch · 05-20-2008, 10:02 PM

I'm up for that. Is that show for sure in WI? That might be a bit much for me too.

firesk8ter · 05-21-2008, 04:29 PM

Yuppers, it is.

erioshi · 05-22-2008, 12:31 PM

It looks like my weekend is getting filled up with MR2 stuff again; I get to replace a timing belt in my old time attack car - fun. Karting on Friday could be fun though.
