WOW!! Their crap won't hardly load on the old iPad I use for bedside browsing, that, and I have to wait, and click, and wait, and click through several opportunities to sign up for photobucket. WTF?!?

I use fotki. Not sure how I ended up there, and it turns out they're some Eastonian company, or at least their servers are located in Eastonia, but IIRC, it's like $25 for a 3 year subscription with few limits. I had issues when they were _shipping_ (as in physically-shipping) some of their servers TO Eastonia, but none after that. I'm no multi-media wizard, so most of my stuff is quick cell phone pictures, but their stuff seems to work okay with Mac/Linux/PC with no issues.

Sent you the email. I'm curious to see what you guys think.

Steve's dyno sheet.

That looks pretty strong. I like it.

So what's funny is the tuning shop actually knocked it out of the park with their mail order tune. After spending time with it, they picked up maybe 5hp. But they ruined the low end drivability. It now has a slight surging issue below 1500. I called them about it and they said absolutely bring it back and they'll fix it. I'll do that when I go to the shop around the corner from them to put it on scales, set the front ride height and corner weigh it. I'm anxious to see what a 1SC weighs.

There is no tire run. I don't understand how it's possible. Maybe when on the track it'll rub but from what I can do on the street, nothing.

What I love about this engine is the power delivery. The other day I floored it in 1st at about 20 MPH. The tires were just barely hanging on, but didn't light up. It pulled all the way through 6k, shifted to 2nd and did it all over again. I can't believe the acceleration with that kind of grip. Then there are the brakes. They feel like normal brakes at first. Then you step on them harder and your insides start to come out.

I'd post another picture of it just to make this interesting but I'd have to give Photobucket $400. I'm still pissed

Car forums are all of a sudden no fun after this Photobucket thing.

Seriously.

It's Crazy, it's almost like every forum I go to anymore has been gutted. So much has been lost because of this.

I'm getting low on server space. I may need to look and see what an upgrade costs to buy a "large" amount of storage. Then I could open up picture hosting and just let people attach them. Sadly, there are old threads here and people who are no longer active and I can't pull the photos off (because they are now gone) and restore those threads. I might have to do a fund raiser and sell more decals....lol.

Reminds me of what happened when all the "free" web hosting sites (Geocities/Tripod/Angelfire/etc) went tits up. So much good info lost, along with some junk.

I'm still so pissed at Photobucket. It's literllly blackmail.

Anyway, I'm taking the 1SC back to PCM today to have them flash the original mail order tune back in. That tune ran so well and so smooth. After they messed with it, it picked up next to no hp and now has a slight cam surge below 1500. We'll see how the mail order tune runs again.

I've also got a call into the race shop to have them out this car on scales and balance it. Hopefully I can do that as well.

Just got back from PCM...they flashed the original mail order tune. Runs great again. So smooth. Nearly no surging.

Finally got the 1SC on the scales today. I had the guy drop the front ride height by about 1/2-1". Looks so much better. I'm going to get it aligned tomorrow. He also fixed my exhaust leak which was driving me nuts.

I wish I had thought to bring some heater hose to tweak the rear springs a little, but I didn't. At least the front is even.

That is with me in it. I weigh 190 lbs (all muscle).

any updates

Not really. My dad has the car now. I replaced the battery and turns out it’s the alternator. It’s chanrging but not by much.
All the rear wheel bearings need to be replaced. Probably going to just have a shop do it. M

I’ve been thinking about the weight. Not sure if you guys could see the flicker picture, but it weighs right at 3400 without a driver and half a tank of fuel. Does that sound a little heavy for a 1SC with no ac and no rear seats? My LT1 car has more weight reduction but also has a heavy flywheel and it weighs 200 lbs less.

Whats the symptoms you're having of the rear wheel bearings going?

There has been a clunk in the right rear for a while and I thought it was a bushing. Turns out its coming from the hearing. There is some up and down movement. Also there is a lot of noise coming from the rear end. I thought it was the Toyo’s Just being a loud tire, but it’s probablu bearings. I think I’m going to pay a shop to rebuild the rear end.

As far as my car goes, to my knowledge the bearings are fine, I just need a new LSD so I’m thinking about just finding a write up and learning something new.

updates?
