Still working but on getting it to start nice mostly and tonight was pretty good....just a couple flutters of the throttle pedal in the 1st couple seconds to keep it running. I need to think a bit about how to make it better.

I never did sync the TBs after the reassembly so I got started on the, #10 was showing about 39kPa when everything else was 45-51 and trying to fix it I realized it ain't so easy to read the screws with the decklid installed. I mostly got it but the lap top died, finish up tomorrow.

and something is leaking....I'll need to eight find and fix it or make a diaper of some sort because the engine isn't coming back out.

I have a pan that lives under the Dune Buggy. It drips a tad when I get back from a drive and then stops.

Here is a short video explaining how I setup the ECU for cold starting followed by a pretty nice start from about 20C/68F

Then short drive where I got a little crazy...I went the OPPOSITE way around the neighborhood tonight!

I'd kind of like to lock my youtube channel....this just works too well with the evil twin theme

Another cold start, forgot to open the throttle once I did it started fine. Then out for a drive, none of the column controls worked, because of course they didn't. The sound isn't great, I'll try something different tomorrow. When I got back I pulled in...then thought better and pulled back out to let it cool a bit just in case and the hot start went about perfect. I might pull a little fuel out of the VE table and move it to low rpm in the warm up table....its pretty good as is but I suspect it could be slightly better. I ran a log through the drive that I will look over and tune up the fuel map before next drive.

Tonight was the first REAL drive and now sitting here drink in hand, I'm honestly not sure how I could be any happy with the result...other than idle its not even tuned yet, all the numbers in the fuel table are guesses based on what Dynomation thought the air flow/VE would be....which means the hp&torque estimates can't be very far off I'd think.

It's a touch loud for my taste but that is all I've got in the minus column at the moment (other than 17 year of my life of course). Out on the road everything I loved about my first 308 drive came rushing back.....the smooth acceleration and higher rpm roar of a naturally aspirated engine in particular. The blower I added made the car quick and that was wonderful but it came at the expense of the sound and the vibrations changed. The sound is back, the feel through the wheel is back, and so is the well mannered normal driving. I miss the power steering but other than that I'm not sure how it gets better. When I first drove this car (I bought it site unseen because I'm an idiot) I pulled over than called my father who though the purchase was a terrible idea to say "everyone should experience this at least once in there lives"....I felt the same way today. You think a stock 308 is a joy to drive?, stop by for a ride

Comgratulations, so it was worth the time. Has it really been 17 years?

16.9? I started in early-mid November 2007 I'm pretty sure

Hoodlums

Strange places to be finding oil on the floor, I will need to have a look at some point.

This post fills my heart with joy.
