The Quarky Engineer

While the P1 next to it has the tech advantage , it is hard to compete with a Pagani.

So many cars up for Auction! A F40, 959, a Countach. The 80s are alive!!

Fellow Calibrators: So, there was a discussion over on the Factory Five 818 Forum and one of the builders posted this graph of a stock WRX (2.0L) motor on the dyno (installed in an 818). Graph shows boost and AFR. The poster commented that WRXs always run lean stock, which tipped me of that something was amiss. Take a look at the graph. AFR is the dotted line with scale on the right. I don’t think it would even be possible to do a pull that lean, especially when it shows >16:1 for the first half of the pull. This is in CO at altitude (5k), but that should not make a difference to the sensor. Am I missing something? I would assume the sensor/dyno calibration is just off.

The M35 like the snow.. but we need more!

The view from the lift at timberline. Having some fun with the snowboard!

After we finished the tire swap, we all climbed into the cargo bay. The new tires are 46.6″ tall tires, compared to the stock which were about 39″ tall. And they weigh about 265lbs each. 🙂

The M35 just barely fits in the shop. I think to remove the engine I would need to have the bed sticking out the door however.

At the NCAA Purdue game!
