    So, you're saying that when we buy some, we need to get them engraved? :crazy2: You guys are hilarious! :rolaugh:

    NW Toy Run

    Apologies for the last minute announcement, but I just got word that some folks intend to go to this, and thought I'd get the word out just in case anyone else has the day free, and would like to attend. James is planning on going, so if you would like to convoy or otherwise coordinate...

    Auto-Cross Fund Drive

    Steve - THANK YOU for your generous donation! :headbang: I've sent you a PM with my address. Yes, we have already corresponded with BMS and Shelton Airport, and are planning to use their facilities, pending getting on their calendars. We would like to get a third facility somewhere farther...

    Auto-Cross Fund Drive

    Oh, the bragging rights are gonna be HUGE for the winners! :nana::beer: ....and they might even get a surprise, come the first event! But that's a secret. :naughty: In order to figure out how much money we need, we built budgets for start up expenses and per-event costs, including guesses...

    Auto-Cross Fund Drive

    In an effort to promote more driving and driver-education events, to a broader group within our club, some of us have begun to focus on sponsoring some auto-cross events in 2010. The really great part of this is that auto-cross is a relatively low risk event that provides a lot of fun, and a...

    2009 WA VCA Holiday Party

    Oh My Gosh! That's hilarious Paul - I thought for sure you were going to get that Yellow Viper. I got what I'm guessing to be a good bottle of red wine, which I can't drink because I'm allergic to. Maybe it'll show up in a future gift exchange - that seemed to be the hot ticket this time...

    Well, I guess that puts you in the cat-bird's seat! You can play for either team; or both at the same time! :headbang: Check your PM's.

    LMAO! That's about right. And who is that right behind me? Why, it's my trusty wing-man, Clint! Must have been Charley taking the photo... :lmao:

    C'mon you Black car guys! Don't wimp out on me now! :omg: The Yellow car team has thrown down the proverbial driving glove, and the challenge is on! We need to rally all Black cars to respond! :drive: Details at the Holiday Party! :D Don't miss it! :nono: P.S. - I'll bring enough for...

    Duuuuude! When you post like that, you're got to put the right music behind it. May I humbly submit the following....(sorry but you do have to hit the play button after landing on the page). The Imperial March Not that I'm partial to Black cars or anything, but I feel a great disturbance in...

    Installing a Data Logger on a Gen II

    I've got a shop manual on the way - should be here in a week. Do you happen to know if there are sensors already installed for throttle position and brake position? Or where the engine coolant temp sensor is? I haven't purchased any logger yet - I want to understand how to get to the goal...

    Installing a Data Logger on a Gen II

    Thanks Steve - it sounds like the slow sampling rate of older OBD-II ports is a pretty common problem - especially for tach input. Hopefully, Jack will come back with some info on how/where he hooked up separate digital/analog sensors for tach, engine temp, throttle, and brakes. Otherwise, it...

    Hmmm....sounds to ME like you paid less than $20 (0 < 20). It must be OK! Johnny Cochran "If the glove does not fit, you must aquit!"

    Sure - where? You've got your PM's turned off. Mine are on, if you'd like to drop me a number.

    Installing a Data Logger on a Gen II

    Jack, I'll look at the DL32. The standard wiring harnes for the RLC has 4 analog ins, 2 digital ins, CAN-bus in, and 2 digital outs. They have numerous expansion harnesses that support up to 32 analog and 8 digital ins, with 8 digital outs. Sounds pretty similar. My needs are more modest...

    2009 WA VCA Holiday Party

    I think that's up to you. My guess is that many gifts will in some way reflect the giver's personality. :D The only rules are to please keep it around $20, and mark it Guy or Gal, for it's intended audience. Keeping in mind what a great mechanic I am, I thought maybe I'd bring a...

    Installing a Data Logger on a Gen II

    Tom - Thanks! Steve-Indy - You were right - it was wrong. I called RLC again today, and talked to an engineer for the product. That gave me a bit more clarity. They agreed with you that I should have an OBD-II port, but mentioned that older OBD-II ports ran at slower sample rates than...

    Installing a Data Logger on a Gen II

    Thanks Steve - you seem to know a lot about it. I'm gonna go way out on a limb here, and assume that upgrading to a CAN bus is not a very practical idea? Which leaves me with: How do I get a feed for the tach and engine temp data? Clearly the car has these gauges, so there must be a feed...

    Installing a Data Logger on a Gen II

    Hmmmm.... what I've been told is that Gen I's and II's (i.e. my '99) have the "original OBD" port, which pre-dates OBD-II, and is commonly called OBD-1. RLC told me the data rate on the port is about 1/10th of that on a more modern OBD-II port. Interestingly, I saw some evidence of this data...

    Installing a Data Logger on a Gen II

    I'm looking seriously at installing RLC Racing's Micro Pod Lite data logger on my '99 GTS, and have encountered a few difficulties. I'm wondering if anyone else out there has installed any data logger on a Gen II, and how they solved a couple of issues. The Gen II's don't have an OBD-II port...

    Snake Eyes Headlights in Viper Mag

    I'm thinkin it's one of those things you have to see in person. Like Snake Skin Green. The first time I saw that in a brochure and Viper Mag, I thought who in the world would spent that much good money for something that hideous! :crazy2: And then I saw one sitting in the sun at SRT Days...

    2009 WA VCA Holiday Party

    Hmmmm.....I thought of that, and asked that very question. They replied that it should be working, even with that old browser. I'm not surprised, though, that that was the problem. 5 years is two generations with computer stuff! Thanks for updating us!

    Snake Eyes Headlights in Viper Mag

    I found out that they come in all different colors - the red/yellow/black shown, silvery/grey/black, etc. Low-stick adhesive should make them easy-on, easy-off. I can't decide whether they're going to look really good or really bad on my car. But they're cheap, so I'm gonna try-em on, and...

    Autocross Insurance

    Having done a fair amount of research on this earlier this year, I can offer three perspectives that might help clarify things for you..... 1. If you are doing a high-speed event, like High Performance Drivers Education (HPDE), go use the link for On-Track that Venomiss posted earlier in this...

    Charlie, I'm sure it's "user error" somehow. Too many cookies make for fat fingers. :lmao: Seriously, though, I can't replicate the error, but I'll bring it up with the provider and see what they can tell us. Stay tuned... Steve
