Tinner,
MOST EXCELLENT! Congrats John. I've had mine out a couple times for very short drives. The last was yesterday, on damp pavement. We'd made what we hoped were the final rear suspension adjustments and just had to know if the car would track straight. It did. Mesa Mike B, Mesa Dave, and I got the pinion angle exactly where I wanted, the wheel base is exactly the same, side to side, and the car went nice and straight when I let go of the wheel. All good. Glad to hear that your baby is sorted out and you are pleased with her. Many people have told you that these toys can get away from you in a heartbeat, and I'm here to tell you that is certainly the truth. Mine bit me after having her fifteen years and bunchs of seat time. Wasn't the car's fault...all mine. I guess the main thing is to be sure all wheels are going in a straight line before really laying on the whip. |
Tinny,
The timing sucks.. Supposed to rain this weekend. |

It never stopped you. What's a few drops here and there. |
Well, it's Friday, it ain't rainin' and Tinney ain't online, means only one thing, he's puttin' down a new layer of asphalt in his community! :D
Ralph:) |
Either that or he's stranded somewhere in a broken car with no cell phone. After all, it is a Rousch.. Need I say more?
|
Hey, I resemble that remark. Got my car back a couple weeks ago after Charlie did his magic fixing some bad electronics in the distributor and fine tuning the EFI and it runs great. Got rubber in third gear, yeah baby!
|
Good to hear you are back out on the road Sandy. Mine has been stuck in my garage between work and the rain. Hope to get it out Sunday.
|
Yep, I just hope nobody gets all technical on me and asks me about the last two years. ;)
BTW Ron, they sent the distributor back to Accel for a rebuild of the electronics and now it's falling back into a nice 1000 rpm idle consistantly. Before it would kind of hang up at 1300 rpm then slowly ease back to an idle that could be hastened by a blip of the throttle. Now it drops right back into an on-spec stabilized idle straight away. Charlie balanced the throttle bodies and fine tuned the timing also so it might be a combination of things. |
So Sandy are you saying your car is running good .... finally? Will we see u NewYearsDay?NewYearsDay
|
So, what happened to the star of this thread? Today is Friday and his car was to have been dropped off by the carrier! :confused:
I certainly hope they didn't mean that literally! %/:eek::CRY: Ralph :cool: |
Ralphie, Do you remember when your Cobra was new? The unending urge to drive it to where ever, the peeking in the garage just to be sure it wasn't all a dream? Making up reasons to go look at it or to take it out for "just a drive around the block"? Maybe his car really does work?
|
Everybody BUT Tinner has responded. What's up with that????
|
Hopefully Tinny will show up tonight.
|
Has anyone heard of a Cobra wrecking in the last couple of days? Is there any report of a death at Hillbank? I'm thinking the only thing that would keep Tinner from driving would be a death. His or the guy who sold him the car that doesn't work.

Tinny's cobra was christened by the rain tonight.
The car looks and sounds good. 367 miles on the odo today. |
