Well I was 50/50, now 70/30. Just not sure if thats 70% in or or 70% out of your mind. I think I'll get car ready just in case.
-
I'll leave Idaho on the 13th. If all goes well I'll have the new car with me and I mite just swing down off of 80 on 281 and come on down to LS before going home. It looks doable. Should put me at LS on the 15th or 16th. Or I could just go on over to York NB south on 81 to McPherson and catch 61 on down to 281. I'll be pulling a borrowed trailer so no ice cream. 3:

What a great group. You offer drinks (alky), dinner (roost), and dessert (ice cream)
I think I will just skip dinner and drinks and go right to dessert.

LOL!!!!!!!!!

well when you do smell it you don't think hmmmm. wonder what that smell is rofl instead your nose hairs are curling from it rofl rofl rofl rofl that one morning fast passed me was an earlier morning and i never drink that early so that was a shocker rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl can't imaging 2 of you putting that out in front ;D
-
i did find time sun to pull all 4 shocks and re-valve them yet agian. i hope this time gets it spot on but i'll find out in 4 weeks. i did change the oil in them as well since it was pretty dark black with a silver film floating in it lol i also found 4 out of 6 bolts loose on my sprocket and rotor was still good. so just a few little things to do that wouldn't need to be done to ride just want to. i am now valved 45/3-1 in the front and 60/3-1 in the rear. the rears were 60/2-1 and the fronts were origanlly 60/85, i have changed the fronts 3 times now. second time i went 45/2-1 and that made a huge diff but still rebounding to fast. the 2.5 fox air's are proving to be a challenge and prob too much shock for the front of this lighter weight rail. ;D but when it comes to handling under cuts and fast down hill runs they do not in any way feel like they bottom out or are an abrupt stop they are damn smooth there!!

Less than 3 weeks!
Roll call, who's ready? rofl rofl rofl
Got parts machine for new bearings, need to finsh install. Got to order new chain and front sprocket. Couple other odd things, so maybe 4 wks work.
-
ready.
-
Got to address a few things on the car but should be good to go! Brute Force is coming down with some new Elka shocks all the way around.. Maybe I can get through the whoops a bit faster now!
-
i'll be ready real soon lol
-
Well,my dates are finally set. Nights of 13-18.
-
Man, you guys are all quit. Everybody must be thrashing getting ready for the trip. dd:
-
Been doing a lot of thrashing on new car. Hope to get it ready for new years- hopefully.
-
I got distracted with a side job that $$$ was too good to turn down. drowning drowning I'm reassembling parts, still need a new larger front sprocket. And got a bit of welding to do still, but I should wrap up next weekend. Maybe, rofl
-
I'm in. Same site as last spring 633. 16th to the 19th. Either be green or yellow. At this point, after I got the new engine in and the test drive last Wednesday It will not hurt my feelings if the Canadian fits my car or not. 8) The Mantis runs like a striped ape. If you guys thought it ran good before you would be totally amazed at it now. The green machine has twice the toque as before. I was being very Conservative last Wednesday on the first trip out on the new motor and had the tack light set at 5500 rpm and the boost turned down to 15 pounds. The car has twice the power at them settings then the last motor that I ran at 6800 rpm and 25 psi. The new engine has aftermarket cams in the heads.

Is the Canadian the one from St.A. with the smoking diesel buggy?

Ya he knew mine was broke but still wanted to buy it. My luck has not been the best here of late. Don't know what's up but seems like the last year or so I have broke something on every trip. Should have replaced everything on the left front after that rod end broke when you were riding with me at Idaho a couple of years back. Ever since I have had nothing but trouble with that corner. Rod end at Glamis and shock this last week at LS. Could be my driving style LMAO.

I will be going just to watch old friends get even with each other, or get ahead one more shot.
Dune stories and memories are the best. rofl rofl rofl
Of coarse sometimes it takes awhile for the humor to be seen by those involved.
I sure am glad our rides are smaller.
Less roost and easier to pull.
If I get stuck or broke I will just sleep on the dunes before I become a Fast story.

If he does not we know where to find him.

Well,final dates for me. 15-19,Deuces spot 16. Skipping the Sandfest BS.

Well made it to Idaho. Truck started acting funny at Cheyenne WY Meth quit working. Setting up camp and a dust devil came in, lifted my 8x12 pop up straight up twenty feet and tossed it into my truck. Tore up both back fenders and tail gate. Did a number on both back doors. Sure you guys want to camp close to me. drowning Sand car is running grate and the new car arrived and I'll get to drive it tomorrow. Love the sound of the six bangers.

And................. :wwp:
-
fast who did you piss off up in the clouds!!!!! damn man!!!!! well work through it and grab you knew rail, stuff the canadian into the mantis and start the trip home before you break the new to you yellow rail!
-
And the saga continues. Truck would not run well Friday morning blowing blue smoke and idling rough. Went to get fuel and as it warmed up it acted ok but took it to a shop anyway. They are removing the injectors and sending them out to check. Had to over night them back to Wichita for the check. Some place in Utah could not get to them until Thursday. Only a few places in the US that check electronic 6.7 Cummins injectors. So we are stuck here at the dunes at least until next Wednesday. Hopping that it will be and injector but it could be a burned piston again. Only good thing is the new car is running great. Sorry guys looking like we will not make LS. My slot at the end is paid for if anyone wants it. Ran with the big v8 cars yesterday on a very fast run. They could not run away from the subi cars. One of them with a gps speedo said he seen 80 MPH going across one of the dunes. The new HRT runs the best in fourth gear. Very little third and never any second. We ran all day yesterday and I only put in six gallons of fuel. Running in fourth sure helps on gas mileage. Going to set the toe in on it this morning I think it is a bit much at one point five inches. The car has a tendency to wallow. Shocks are a little light for my big ass so will need to revalve them when I get time. The new owner of the Mantis is loving it. After the fast run he had a grin a mile wide. The Mantis is running like a mofo it will pull away from the HRT if I don't keep on the throttle. I taught the Canadian right, he can really drive it good. He missed second twice yesterday but recovered quick enough to keep up.
-
damn!! well never like to hear about truck problems , specially that far from home!! i hope it is only an inj and not another piston problem, how hot were the egt's getting on the way up? glad to hear the rail runs good and sorry to hear you won't make it but there's always next time. i already knew the new mantis owner would have perma grinn considering what he was stepping up into!! lol
-
Dammit FAST! I may not make LS either. Your shitty luck seems to be spreading. Went to load buggy and guess what-buggy refuses to fire.
-
Well mine runs just found a real bad driver wheel bearing earlier. Should be here soon. Wife says she not going if car don't run up street 1st. Lol. Well I sorta feel sorry for new neighbors later, also need to check all the LEDs.
Fast, if I have truck probs the sand w a car running like it stole something sounds right. Hope u can make it!!
-
I'm all back together and loaded, just one more day of work. After a test drive wife gave a thumbs-up. Should be there about 2 on wed.
Got a text/pic Sandracer may be down a car, possible tranny? But sand was nice.
-
Got the trailer home and half loaded (myself). Now to start actually loading up. HOPING new radiator will be here today but not looking good, so hopefully the weather temps will be a bit cooler this run and I will be ok. New 20t sprocket up front and finally using the hub on the Jeffco with a 35t rear. Gained a few links in the chain and got my gearing where I like it for the dunes. Have to plumb the breather tank for the rev box, tidy up a couple little things and hope to roll out Wed morn. Looking to be there mid afternoon..
Safe travels all!
-
Sorry guys looking like we will not make LS. My slot at the end is paid for if anyone wants it.
Just talked to Blue moon John, he would like to take your spot and camp by all of us if thats OK and nobodt claimed it yet? The only one he could find was at Buttercup.
Sucks you wont make it down Fast! Looking forward to seeing your new ride next Spring!!

Your right Deano.
After what I have invested in the truck this should not be happening. But it is and that's life. Truck is back and runs just fine without the trailer. Tomorrow morning will tell whats up. New car is loaded in the trailer. and we are ready to rock and roll in the early AM. Not to bad a deal getting the new car in. It took a couple of shots but was able to winch it up and into the trailer backwards. I will know soon as I hit the freeway if the truck will pull without the HI egt's. Heres hopping. Really have missed you guys this year. Next spring well due double icecream.

-
Ok here's a starter. One of many things that went south. This is what beat up my truck the first day we set up camp.
-
Then after the four days with out the truck because it was in the shop we start home and bam. Had to happen just as I was pulling a thousand foot pass coming out of Utah into Wyoming. Had a line of eighteen wheeler's two miles long behind me very pissed off. Truck would run twenty in second gear. This is the turbo inter-cooler hose that runs from the turbo to the inter cooler.
-
But we got to play while the truck was in the shop. 10:
-
The new and old side by side.
-
First morning after I put both cars to bed. Could not ask for better weather.
-
your tires are larger on the newer rail. why is your truck in the pic? ;D ;D
-
had a great time at the dunes as always and it was nice to meet sandracer1 and his wife and there group. it was fun running with them when it worked out to meet up. diff camp grounds makes it hard to line things up. of course most of the group was at cowboy as always now if we could just talk fabbr into staying there with us then we could go for my runs with him!!?? now I think it's your turn to lead fabbr??!!!!!! ;D enemy isn't allowed to lead anymore night runs after telling me that my lights are too bright rofl rofl rofl rofl
for some reason on the last night ride where we went into the trails fabbr decided uh uh! good idea since we got lost for 2 hrs in those trail LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO it was so dark you couldn't see $hit!!!!!!!!!! but plenty of fuel so it was actually fun!! ;D ;D
-
I wasnt lost, I was following Enemy and we were still in Oklahoma, in sand, and as a matter a fact we made the same loop 3 times. And if I'd not pulled that oil cooler line loose we woulda made 2 more passes!! rofl rofl I got some great video of me and Enemy Thur am with the wind smoothin things out. 3rd & 4th gear weeeeeeeeee
-

10/50/17 on the front of the new car, 8/50/15 on the old car. First thing i'll be doing is putting on 2 inch hollow spindles. That picture was the first day we were there and the truck had not gone to the shop as yet.

If those puny slots @ Cowboy camp weren't made for pop up campers.........................................

Was the sand inside or outside the boundary is the question though.

Nice looking new car fast.
-
Canadian wasted no time sporting his colors on the whips Fast!
Cant wait to see the new ride, looks sweet!
Next time I lead at night, DS is required to stay in back with his light bar or I'm going to point the mirrors back at you so you can get the sensation of flash bulbs going off in your helmet!
Good grief those things are bright! I'm still seeing balls of light when I blink rofl
Good run that eve even with my rec/reg taking a shit. Nothing more satisfying than knowing the busa will run on 9.5 volts eyes
-

hard to say considering I saw fences on both right and left hand sides of us at diff times!! rofl rofl I was down all day thurs due to 2 day old burned up exh manifold gaskets. they weren't oem and that won't happen again!! lost a whole day of riding because of that. a big thanks to slumberger and davies for bringing me some back ups!!!!

i do have to hand it to the revolts....on my best day i couldn't out run them in the trails! they are too nimble and sandracer1's turbo lights his up sooooo fast he can pull out of a damn tight turn and launch where my 116" wheel base rail is still sliding around the turn lol
-
The well modified revolts were quite capable machines for sure.
-
The well modified revolts were quite capable machines for sure.
They sure are! "Nasty little 'effers" is more like the words I would use, but I can get a bit vulgar at times lol.
I had a slight steering issue out on the dunes and sandracer and his crew hooked me up with a welder to get me fixed up. Thanks again!!!!
-
ya good folks for sure! fast i am working on uploading a video right now and it says 703 min's remaining 1g file so be patient lol pay special attention to the number of rides that take off for the big run across the dunes. we had 3 v8 rails 2 turbo suby rails motor cycle powered rails sled powered and utv's. i went dead last cause i wanted a shot of the hole bunch taking off. my lens fogged over twice out of all my footage. one video is completely useless and the 1 of the bunch taking off it started fogging over so i used what was visible cut the rest out.
-
Sorry for the foooked up posting. Hope this fixes it. Sorry to have had to remove your vid ,Carl.

How long did it take to upload that almost 20 minutes to youtube?20 hours?
-
I uploaded direct from gopro, 119 min. My gopro stops at 19:53 and starts new file.
-
So,unedited ,it will upload directly from GP but if you edit it ,do you first download ,edit and then upload to youtube?
-
I have been uploading a 1g file to youtube since last night about 11 pm lol it's only at 30% at noon lol but the laptop keeps going to sleep and it's windows 8 so I don't know how to shut that down for now. I did edit several clips together cause I thought we might like to see the people that got together in groups out on the sand for once as well as close ups of the rails.
carl why is your video private? the second one that looks like about sunset.
-
So,unedited ,it will upload directly from GP but if you edit it ,do you first download ,edit and then upload to youtube?
Yes Fabr. Go to upload on youtube and find the file on the gopro. Youtube has some editing stuff on there now, but its all useless to me.
That was over 2gig file. I used Obamanet. Fastest, quickest stuff out there. so fast you cant see it happening. rofl
I still have a good one from spring trip I edited, never could get it into right format. Pink blob lines w/a few buggy scenes. But its got music and graphics.

only took 24 hrs to upload in hd but here it is.
-
Too bad youtube down grades the vid quality.
-
this is best run in this car. smooth thur am run. 3rd and 4th gear all the way dang video really slows it down.

In my best jap voice! Ahhhh wee havfff tought you well young cricket. Very good run Carl you have mastered the razor back switch, you to Enemy, Really wish I could have made that trip. For sure next time in the spring. Glad all you had a fun and safe trip. That's what it is all about.
-
You guys would really love Idaho or Glamis. You all need to get out west some time. kick
-
and this trip was the worst my engine has run yet!! rofl fast that was the biggest group run i have ever been in. right in the middle of the video. the red single seaters are sandracer1 and his bunch. wes i uploaded that video in 1440 p hoping they would down grade it to 1080 but instead they took it down to 720!!
-
Ya,I wasted a lot of time uploading just to have the vid look like shit. Fook youtube and their dinosaur technology. There HAS to be something better. WTH would we want to have HD stuff just to share like it was crappy junk cam vid.
-
I recorded mine in 720, 60 fps. this new hero 3+ does 120 fps suppose to be better for "action" but i forgot to try. I've seen a few videos on Youtube in 1080, but most comp monitors are only 720. DS's video seemed jerky.
-
youtube did it to his vid. It's PAST time for youtube to step up.
-
it does look jerky and i think that is more often when on the front but when i watch the go pro footage on my computer it doesn't look like that. i did not upload it using that go pro system you talked about in you tube because i edited 5 vids into 1 and cut them as small as i could but enough so we could all see most of everyone that was there and some close ups of the rails. now i use adobe 9 premiere elements and i like it. when you use it to burn a dvd you make from the footage it turns out real nice.
carl you are right i have had a gremlin in this motor from the get go and the engine miss and back firing through the intake and what i believe to be a lean condition are all related. i have started tearing into the motor to check a few things before i tear the head off. i can say this....which the merc gauge hooked up to sync the throttle bodies i can smooth the idle if i adjust #4 cyl off a ways from the other 3 cyl. choke it down so to speak. i am going to try and 0 out the bazzaz and try it and if it continues then i'll remove the bazzaz completely and try it again while the gauges are hooked up. if that isn't it i will swap the inj's around and try it again and if that isn't it then swap to a spare ecu enemy has and if that isn't it then i will open the side case and check all timing marks again. if that isn't it then the motor comes out! i am going to get a new 02 sensor first and check the exh gaskets again as well as the 1 seam there is before the 02 with soapy water to make sure there isn't any leaks before all of the above.
-
Above all,you MUST have a totally leak free exhaust for the autotuner to work.
-
agreed 100% which is why i will check with soapy water at this time all poss points up to the o2. my for now test will just be to see what will take the miss out of the idle. it would be nice to have 4 02 sensors on the header itself!!
-
the vids. look great guys, it get me moving in my chair .thinking i need seat belts so i stay in my chair ;D :D
-
as you know fabbr when the bazzaz went into default ( according to bazzaz techs (tech's as in two diff tech's) it ran closer to what i thought it should be like but at that time the #4 exh gasket was on it's way out i believe. i did swap those wires again while i was there and didn't change a thing. so who know ??? all i know is by fri night it was at it's worst and i can hear valve train noise where i hadn't before so like i said i'll try those first then yank it out. once out if it come to that i will decide on what to do with it??!! ;) ;)
-

LMAO LMAO i can picture that!
-

you were right the auto tuner was lean the system out because of the 02 sensor. it was odd though that while the 02 was reading lean the engine was running rich and adding fuel made it so rich my wife and other could smell raw fuel over at carls camper lol but the 02 showed the engine was going leaner yet! but yes the exh gasket was leaking bad at that point. as a matter of fact as soon as i shut it off and restarted it, that is when it blew out and i could hear it at idle clear as a bell. even with the aftermarket crush copper gaskets on it the miss is still in #4 so that's where i'm going to start, any suggestions?

NOOOOOOO!!!!!! You must also check for a good distance down stream of the O2 also. Believe it or not, O2 can and will flow up the pipe as well as down from a leak. The ex tract pulses do this.

Do a correct leak down test of all four cylinders . This will tell you of the rings/valves/seats mechanical condition. Don't rely only on a compression test unless you have a definite low compression issue. If it passes the leak down,look at the electronics and injection .Don't be fooled by the sound of air leaking while doing the test. All that matters is that there is not too much % leakage. On a used engine you might normally see 25% ish more or less.
You also saw that the header flange bottomed out on the ex spigots with the copper crush rings. Replace them with the stockers so the flange does not bottom on spigots so you can be assured of a tight seal. I think you planned on that tho.
-
ya I did plan on changing the gaskets to oe. I was just reading on the pulses bringing the 02 back up the pipe! lol and I also found this on a busa forum ....this peaked my interest because I was looking at the factory crimp job on my inj wires last night on my original throttle bodies that I replaced with these. I also checked to be sure the wires were the same in the plug between 01 and 05. they are but this post was interesting because I was thinking I need to pull the inj harness off and check that factory crimp.
"Default
I may have had a similar problem.
Bike was not well, took it in to a reputable mechanic
Calls me to say the first cylinder is not firing properly at low revs
Temp of header is significantly lower than the other 3.
First we though fuel filters, blocked injectors etc etc
But despite much time and effort, getting injectors removed and cleaned, filters replaced etc we could not get rid of the problem.
Anyway for some reason #1 injector was not getting a strong signal at low revs.
After more dicking around all he could find was a "possibly" loose bit of soldering near the ECU. He resoldered it and the problem went away.
If this guy didnt have the repuation of being the neastest and mst ananl retentive guy in this city I would have started to think he was just after my money.
But all is good now and the bike runs better than new.
Interestingly he did some work on the front forks and changed the fork oil (@ 25000 kms)
He said it was full of crap and gunk.
Whatever he did the bike handles noticeably better now. In fact of all the minor changes Ive dont to the bike I would say that having a professional simply service the front forks was the best thing Ive done yet.

FI can be a finicky bitch for sure. Good post!

Video is great. Looks like a great time and not very busy.

first few days weren't at all but Friday was getting there. it was the week after the party weekend though.
-
I finally got one uploaded to youtube. Figure I will post this first since I was telling DS how smooth the sand was. At about 13 mins or so we were running straddled on the peaks. It was like running a dragons tail.

finally what have you been doing ;D rofl rofl talk about me being slow.....grandpa rofl rofl

It took 5 days at about 2 hours a day to get it to upload to you tube. I no likey computers either. 4G my ass on my hotspot.
More coming, about 1 a week. rofl rofl rofl

i feel your pain rofl rofl rofl
-
that is a good vid and the sand was sooooo much smoother than the last trip! i take it that was you leading but at the very end who was it that passed the camera man?
-
you do have to be careful roosting the guy behind you when your going over the edge as you did towards the end of the video.....it may start a chain reaction LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO i have seen that happen once LMAO LMAO
-
ff: ff: ;D ;D ;D ;D
Nice video!! Smooth sand make us faster, and dont shake the food and refreshments near as much.
-
Yes that was me leading. And that is the day I text you and told you how smooth the sand was before you got there.
That was Mike in his XL that buzzed around at the end, he was following Toby(the cameraman) in the Z1 turbo RZR 900 long travel and he was following me.
As for the roost kick I owe Toby much worse than he received (twice). I do have mirrors so I knew he was off to the side and on camera. He was pretty damn brave to keep pulling up behind me going over. He just got a new gopro and we finally got him to stop doing selfy vids and follow somebody or point backwards and lead even better. He WILL NOT LEAD. Cracks me up. But he will be all over your ass for sure. Looked like at one point he was going to land on me.
It is just a trust thing. You guys get it. Some you trust more than others. rofl rofl rofl Like, hey here we go, follow me, as fast as I go know matter what. Trust me I know where I am going.
Man I need to get to the dunes more. Has not even been a month and I miss it.
-
Going this weekend................................. ;D ;D
-
you suck ;D ;D
-
It's 4.5 hours one way for me. You are what? 8 hours? Don't have to make a big production of it like we do fall/spring.
-
you suck ;D ;D
X2.
Two daughters and wife. It is an easy 1k if I would go for a weekend.
Poor white boy here. Have to stay limited on trips for now. The future holds many more trips though.
-
you suck ;D ;D
X 3
But you locals keep my memories coming in. Otherwise I'd forget what it was like, sometimers!! ;D
-
But since you ARE going, Have a great time and be safe.
Sometimer forever Carl
-

8 hrs and $600 round trip with toyhauler and it's a little one lol it would be nice to go a few more times but at 4.5 hrs day trips would be taken frequently lol
-
Ya,it adds up WAAAAAYYYYYYY too fast. thumb down thumb down thumb down FWIW,I'm really hoping you guys will consider one of the DTS meet ups being at St.A. this year. Carl,you can stop here for the night and follow or lead the next 2 ,12 hour, days. bs1 It would be a 3 day (or)deal for you for sure. You guys from St .L. and Nebraska would be just fine though.
-

working on that one too lol and from lincoln ne it's about 14 hrs to st A. i believe the st L guys well it sounds like it's about 4hrs to kansas city for them and kansas city is 3.5 hrs from lincoln so still a good drive like carls!
-
St.L. guys are still closer than I am. It's 24 hours for me.
-
Fabr, thanks but the closest way is thru Lincoln Ne. 14 hrs to Lincoln, drove that once already.
I've got some family/friends in Wyoming and and the closest way is thru Lincoln-St louis- Chattanooga Tn. I've mapped it many times. BTw Glamis is 30 miles closer than ST A to me, bs1 drowning kick. I'd like to go next yr, but if so it will be my only dune trip. But it be worth it, and there be tons other stuff to see/do on the way. Just need to find a runway for the wife! ;D
-
I think Rexford ,Id maybe has one. Only 15 miles or so from camp.
-
13.5 for me. Piece of cake ;D
3 hrs on a plane. Wonder if you can check a buggy LMAO
-
Stow it overhead.....................
-

That would ^^^^^^^^^be a yes. Rexford has a really nice airport. Just about 25 min from the dunes. Straight shot down the four lane. I'm in just name the date. :laugh: :laugh:
-
That is the place with the Coolest Hotel ever too. Themed rooms, hummmmmmmm

Wifey would likey that thingy.

Can't go, but thought I would look it up to see how far from Amarillo TX. 15 hrs

Fast,myself and several others that don't post often here KNOW it's worth it once a year at least. I think fast has been like 20 times this year alone. Sarcasm LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO rofl rofl rofl rofl Good to see/hear him having a ball now.
