    The pawl isn't working. I guess I'm not done yet.

    I want to run Saturday. Possible rain and me wanting to tear my transmission apart to fix this may stop me. I'm going to put new parking brake pads on in the next day. The original ones turned to dust and don't work. I just bought brake pads tonight so I have what I need. I also have to add teflon tape to the drain tube. It's dripping fluid but if I drain it I might as well fix the pawl.

    Thanks, I'm glad I didn't have pull the transmission. It was a relatively easy fix.

    I made it out Edgewater today. Today is also the first time I got on it since the transmission and alternator swap. I wasn't able to get 25 lbs of boost out of the turbo. I was right around 15-16psi Peak today. So 14.6 around 92-94 mph is what I got. In a attempt to bend the wastegate at the track to get more pretension I made it worst and dropped it to 5psi. 16.9@79 was my last past. I'll try to get it sorted out but I'm going start saving up for Mustang parts again.

    I really haven’t done anything to it since last year. I backed off the boost to 17psi since I was just cruising around with it. I got three 14.0s today so I just decided to crank the boost back to 25psi on my last pass. Finally turned a 13 before I left the track. Another local guy wanted to see it run so I decided to today. I’m just glad nothing broke,lol. I may mess with it in the future but I’m going to focus on Mustang for a bit.

    He red lighted -.092 and I had a bad reaction time .286 I believe. It was my 14.0 to his 14.3. He botched his launch which puts those cars at a disadvantage since they need to be higher rpms to be in their powerband. I have a small turbo so it boost rather quickly but runs out air up top. I wouldn’t mind a little larger turbo for it but for what it is it can accelerate to 60 pretty quick. It was a pretty good race.

    Haha, if my car wasn’t shaped like a shoebox maybe it would of beat him even though he red lighted, lol. I’m trying to think what I can do to make it faster. Different Turbo or head work next. I’m curious what oversized valves with larger seats would do to it?

    So I bought a Xbox and I haven’t played it much since I got an Ebay turbo to throw into Volvo. Some reason I don’t find it as fun anymore but the kids like it. I’m pretty much maxed my 20T out. I thought I would give a ebay turbo a shot to see if does any better. So here is to a 200 dollar upgrade including the 90 dollar turbo.
