'90 W250--'89/91/92 Ramcharger

[Tacoclaw]

I didn't get it finished tonight. I got the secondary sitting on it's studs, then I realized it was so dark there was no way I was sneaking a wrench in there.

Oh well, I needed more beer anyways.

[Tacoclaw]

Hineman, next time let me know before you out us on the forum?

He didn't out you, Pete, we all already knew.

You just better hope Richie never gets back on and finds out.

[AHineman]

I was going to make a comment, but I see my other half did it for me. Hineman, next time let me know before you out us on the forum?

I thought you were finally cool with your lifestyle.


Oh, and Levi, you are an alcoholic.

[Tacoclaw]

That's not true, I only drink when I breathe.

I completely stopped drinking for about 6 weeks when Igot the bike, but when that thing goes down I've got to find other hobbies to keep me busy. Standing in my yard hefting 70lb turbos in 90* heat just seems a lot easier when I've got a beer or 7 to sip on.

[Tacoclaw]

Boom!!



The guy from BBD came through for me! I guess he had to call and chew on Borg a little to get this thing back on their minds.

[Tacoclaw]

Fine, since nobody cares about my housing I guess I'll just post some more about the bike.

I decided I didn't want to be in Gallia County this weekend so I jumped on the bike and took off. (and made a couple phone calls)

I ended up in Renick WV, at a cabin right on the banks of the Greenbrier.

Not before I rode through 1.5 hours of rain though. I finally had to stop and get some hot chocolate. I couldn't feel my hands anymore:


I didn't take many pics of the scenery, but I did turn around to grab this old power station made into some natural falls there:


4 hours after I left, I was there:





Turns out I couldn't fit my kayak on my bike so this is about all I got done:


It couldn't have gone better.

^^^^^
I've been there before. Nice.

[PToombs]

Nice scenary! At least it wasn't a blizzard like Andrews pics usually are!
How did the bike do on the road under the water?

[dazedandconfused]

I would love to get away to a place like that. Im off all week and to broke to travel.

[Tacoclaw]

I bet I'll have around $40 in gas on the whole trip. The cabin would have probably been pretty pricy, but it was some remote family friend and I only stayed one night anyways.

All I needed was the time, and once I forgot about all the sthi that needed done around the house I found I had plenty of tha as well.

Pete, the bike did really well minus a slight miss caused by me raping a plug boot during a change and the river of water gushing onto it. By slight miss I mean complete dropped cylinder right in the middle of 70mph traffic.

[PToombs]

I hope you mean ripping, and not raping. And in traffic too!

[Tacoclaw]

Nope, if you were there you'd have known that the Vice Grips were definitely having non-consensual motions with those boots. There's just no good way to get in there to them.


Also, I just tried to test fit my housing. It won't clear the inducer diameter...

I can foresee this turning into quite the fiasco...

[PToombs]

A 4 inch grinder should fix that right up for ya!

that blows, Im hyper sensitive for long waits, then the wrong product. If my injectors ever come, they better be what I ordered, Ive got a one way airfare voucher for united and I will fly to Arizona and strangle sombody at SDX till they are correct

[Tacoclaw]

Meh, it's not a huge deal I guess. I can put on that piping setup I had back when I was running the S300 with the non-IC'd intake, I just figure the boots are gonna hate their life. I may have to bite the bullet and fab something up out of exhaust pipe to get rid of them. At least until I get this mess sorted out on the housing.

I know since I took the measurement that it ain't going to be a freebie, even though I told them I couldn't get it perfect because of the odd number of blades. Then again, dude's been really helpful so far, so maybe it won't be so bad.

Here's hoping.
