Interestingly enough, I do not have a mad dash to get anything completed with the car before the next event. The biggest problem I needed to solve was actually finding a tow vehicle since mine will be with my wife in Florida, but Dad’s going to let me take his truck. PE#2 is going to be an OVR event at National Trails, so it should be a pretty fast, fairly dried-out course. I will take the mud tires, but it is likely that I won’t need to change out the gravel tires while I’m there. Setup-wise, I think it’s best out go with the car as-is. The idle is smoothed out a bit with the recent change to the reqfuel number and the switch to simultaneous injections, and it seemed that the car was pulling very well at PE#1 at every level of the tune. The only work that needs to be done is the re-installation if the exhaust.
For the exhaust, I am going to make sure that I’m using a u-bolt clamp to hold the flex tube to the down pipe. I think that the current clamp is more of a sleeve type, and it doesn’t seem to hold real well. I will also need to find some new places to hang the exhaust from as the bracket that I was using appears to have broken off. The section that goes over the rear suspension will need to be cut and have a new elbow clamped in. Eventually, I want to replace the current cheapo flex pipe with a true stainless braid flex section, but I need to do some measuring first and probably don’t have time to do that before the next event.
