Brian if you do a flush tomorrow, please please do not use tap water, or hose water to fill your system.

I saw that:)...13L estimated of water required, wondering if I should be concerned on flushing the system?...I think it will be alright considering I will need to winterize the car for storage.

I would guess that 13l would be a dry fill. If you had Zero fluid in the system. I would bet, if you opened the drain cock on the radiator, and even went so far as to remove the coolant pipes, you would still not be able to put more than 8-10 liters into the system. 3 Gallon jugs of distilled water would be more than enough. At about 2-3 dollars per gallon, its cheap insurance.

Good info guys. I'll be checking everything over before the AutoX and will be repacking the bearings when I do the GA conversion aswell for Mission. What is the longevity of this Water wetter? Does it have to be changed out yearly? And does it effect freezing point or is antifreeze still required for winter use? Thanks, Austin |

Austin, Water Wetter is great for just water, any anti freeze mix it does not work as well. Since we do not have concerns for Mission to have antifreeze, I decided to leave it be and changed my trans fluid:). I am not sure on time and budget, but I hope to do the GA upgrade before Mission...ruuning short on time. Get your post in the forum bud for Sunday:)...lol |

Nice runs Brian! What's the dif between the best time & the best indexed??? Just downsizing the videos now to be uploaded. Ugh the videos from Adams runs are messed up though :( I wish I weren't out doing field work so I could make sure everything was ok. It looks like he turned off the camera while doing the runs, then started recording as he hit the grid

I believe the time differences are a average of all runs. Too bad on those Vids, Adam msg me on Sunday asking for our web site which I gave him...I am sure there will be other times:). I will be racing this Sunday also with all the Pro's...lol, but this will be my last novice, it will be cool to see all the Pro cars, etc...try to make it out if you can...and I can't wait for the training sessions, just had my email confirmation with details. Cheers |

Fracking Heck, this took some time to get the bugs worked out, but I got er done. If don't have broadband, don't even bother clicking the link. If you have small broadband, ya might want to skip it. However everyone else, click it and head for bed or off to work. Their are 26 videos all are in 1280x720 HD Hopefully a Mac Addict can download the videos and make a single movie out of them, the reason I say Mac is my camera outputs everything in .mov format. The total size of the zipped folder is 1.85 gig. Don't expect them to be perfect as my Camera skills leave a lot to be desired. Ok All the video's and pics from the event that I took are here, http://www.media.captfiero.com/autocrossvideos.zip As a request while you are waiting for the download, please post up your average speed you are getting and what your ISP is as well as if you don't mind, what package you have. (IE Shaw Normal, Extreme-1 one or the grail of home internet, Shaw Nitro) |

This is the codec set I use, and it seems to play every file I have ever downloaded on the net, even integrates into windows media player fairly well.
