tizzle Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Oh come on. You gotta go, I wanted to see your setup. I drove 5 hrs yesterday, so I could pick up a differential to put in my legacy to get it going before the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 "If you hold it, they will come!" Oddcomp, you should come anyways. I could still loan you a soob if you need one (just no rallyx or bashing it up, ok?). I here that there will be beer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All_talk Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Yeah, push. Pull or drag. Does MS use the TPS for anything other that transitional throttle enrichment? Should cruse fine, right? Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 ...and how do you propose i afford to tow it to wcss and back? Maybe the same way your wagon got from work to your house???

Qman Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Reverse the connection at the TPS. There are a couple of caravans driving past you. Hitch a ride with one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddcomp Posted July 15, 2005 Author Share Posted July 15, 2005 i odn't mean this to sound smart assy but .. how do you propose i do that? stand on the freeway shoulder with a sign that sez wcss or bust? tried reverse tps wires seems to do the same on the one tps and pat.. thats a hell of a long ways to go just to drag my rx to the show.. i suspect my confusion has to do with being up for 28 or so hours yesterday 8 of wich at work and the rest arguing with the car finally crashed at about 10 last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 i odn't mean this to sound smart assy but .. how do you propose i do that? stand on the freeway shoulder with a sign that sez wcss or bust? Should be several people coming up from Portland, etc that could still be contacted. At least the convoys should be easy to spot. and pat.. thats a hell of a long ways to go just to drag my rx to the show... Its not an everyday event, and it would be a shame to miss it just because you couldn't quit futzing with your car right beforehand. (Like I am doing any better with my headless engine that is sitting outside on my engine stand for the last 4 days... ) Do I WANT to drive the extra distance to haul your sorry behind (w/car) back up to WCSS7: No. Will I do it if that is what it takes?: In a heartbeat. BTW, which I-5 Exit-# are you near? I can't remember the number, but it isn't that far south of Exit 100-101 for Shelton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddcomp Posted July 15, 2005 Author Share Posted July 15, 2005 it figures.. go outside to plug the tablet in to the ms to see if maybe the settings got corrupted from the tps being messed up and the ppower plug breaks off the side of the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
