Default The Yellow Dragon wouldn't start...

The battery was dead after ONLY about 2 months. Must be that damn Clifford sucking all the juice.

I charged up the battery and took it for a spin this morning to a meeting for work (a meeting that was mandatory and HAPPENED to land on my day off. ).

Anyway, it's supposed to get around 50 degrees out today. Most of the snow has melted and it was nice to drive the R. I've had withdrawals. I'm sure I'll hit the 10k miles mark today. I'm at 9939 or something right now.

YD -- I'm at 099, 918 ... or so, and should be breaking the 1/10 tenth of a Million mile mark soon!

Almost ready for boost (damn those emissions inspections).

Yoshi ~ damn...10k came very quickly for j00. How many miles do you have now?

Ed ~ You're going to boost once you hit 100k?! Whoah...interesting. How is your R running close to 100k? Does it still run near as hard as when you first got yours?

I got mine w/ 28K on it (almost 3 years ago the end of this month).
After all, it is an older one.

Yup, ...boost is on the way, but emissions inspection jeopardy is in the way!!
Also depends on what the compression and leakdown numbers look like, and available $.
I've already got most of the parts (3 turbos sitting @ mY Mom's)

Visited my mechanic's (Ben Schaeffer's) yesterday to discuss these very issues, and saw two or more JRSC'd vehicles there for work (including one unhappy S/C'd Lude, ... wristpin).

Plan is to service the R once again @ 100k (as is), and build one turbo CRX by spring.
It's finally time to bring the parts together and bruise a knuckle or two! (ouch!)

t00k exactly 8 months to reach 10k. I took my time to reach 10k, but after that it was drive, drive, drive....

yoshi - who will hit 38K this week

Mine was dead too.. Decided to go spring for the high perf craftsman 60amp auto charger. When I hooked it up it kinda reminded me of charging the old RC car. FULL CHARGE....time to play. I'm running an Ungo alarm with a supposed battery backup, I think the car will draw off the alarm backup though. I might actually drive the R to work tonight, it's not supposed to get too cold~

You leaving the block alone? Your motor just got broken in @ 100K.
Probably not, though I'd like to see how much longer it will/would last (w/~ 5 psi and a big FMIC).
Ben was talking about "freshening it up" (rod and pistons, no doubt) and getting the head done.
The CRXs will be stock motored turbos, though!!

I need to get back to doing my own wrenching (yes - latent wee-todd'r),
and also get some practice w'turbos before inflicting it on my R.

Since I got it in June, I've put 12,000+ miles on it. That includes last month where I didn't drive it at all.

I've clocked almost 35,000km in 19 months.
Since my car was an ex-demo that puts it at just under 38,000km on the dial.

Daily driver and lovin' it!

I just clocked 10,001 as I put my Dragon in it's lair tonight.

Oh yeah, and I was challenged by a number of cars tonight and I'm holding true to my NO STREET RACING anymore policy. I'm going to make a sign so that I can hold it up while I'm next to these fools that reads, "MEET ME AT THE TRACK AND HAVE YOUR *** HANDED TO YOU!" haha.

Actually Todd - I was thinking of having some business cards made out with some local racing web sites & track info on them - what do you think???

btw - we'll be coming to EJ's on the 19th to tune Jim's exhaust goodies!

ahhhhh - 78,000 miles & I finally blew the clutch!
