Re: Not for Nuthin' But Close!
Billy and I both screwed up in different ways this weekend lol. Him forgetting to bring the obd2 connector for the car, and me deciding where to go this weekend. If it wasn't for the fact I wanted to play with a recent street car purchase of mine, I would've chose to go to island. But, we both got time slips we were very pleased with, so no big loss.

Re: Not for Nuthin' But Close!
Throughout this entire now 2 year long build, there's one thing that this car has been missing. Even though the thread is called "Not for Nuthin'...", that didn't quite fit the car as a name. After some deep thought, Billy seems to have come up with a quite clever identity for the little brown car that could. I was asked to post pictures, so here it is, "Brilliant Disguise"

It may be slow, but it sure is ugly!

Re: Not for Nuthin' But Close!
It is now a year later, Billy...Do you still have that car? (I have a slew of things you need to attempt, and a ton of questions), let's get together via telephone ok?
Send me a PM please. Gary.

Re: Not for Nuthin' But Close!
Thank you Mark. I'll get with you Billy, eventually.
Each slow roller is different of course, but sometimes if they are working properly, you may want them to learn if they are an efi car. But, you seem to have hit on the right points so far. Getting 1 to run a half second plus under and consistently is more than half the battle.
