Sunday, July 29. 2007First attempt to attach the G2X tach signal behind the dash
I'm told removing the dash module so I could attach the tach signal from my data logger is a snap. There are 5 screws holding in he fascia in front of the dash module. 3 on the top and two over in the center air grille. Removing those made taking it out easy although chute on the lower edge of the right side made things tricky for a while.
The dash module itself is just screwed in with 4 screws and there are easy to remove. Now the problems start. My removable steering wheel adapter prevents me taking the dash module out. There isn't enough room on the bottom to slide out the dash module and that was that today. I had to pack to leave for the track so I didn't want to remove the adapter. I may try using the magnetic pickup tach signal tomorrow if I get a chance but the priority is laps. Sunday, July 29. 2007Ready for DonnyBrookes racing day at Brainerd International
I drove up from Rochester today and everything looks set. It's going to be hot tomorrow, 93F high but I'd prefer heat to rain especially at Brainerd. The drag strip has VST on it to help with traction for NHRA drag cars but when it's damp/wet it's slippier than ice. Hopefully, the new track next year will fix this issue with the new configuration.
Besides keeping the car and myself in one piece, I just want to do 2/3 sessions tomorrow morning to get warmed up and see where I am and then get an instructor as much as possible in the afternoon to work on improving my driving which shouldn't be hard  The car was easy to get ready. It isn't burning oil so after letting it warm up for a while the oil level looks good, it's about an 1/8 of an inch over max which I'm told is where it should be. Tires looked good, brakes same. This thing is cheap to run. After the Purple 996 debacle I'm starting to enjoy DE with a reliable car. |
