Well I ditched the linkage that I had because it seemed to long and was causing alot of resistance. I bought a custom kit from advance and my buddy installed it. I seems that one of the ends came apart and maybe I got a kink in the cable. I'm not sure. I will have to look at it when the wifey cools down a bit.
ah the good old Toyota Prius syndrome...
fuel pump
a little off topic but i just got a newer engine for my blaze and there is no fuel rod for a fuel pump so how did you go about doing this? because mine has 2 lines going to it. a return and a actuall gas line i think. so what do you do with the other line?

I don't know how to post a video but here is a link. The quality sucks but I had another friend take a video from behind me that may be better quality.

Awsome! How do you embed the video like that?
[youtube ] Copy and paste the numbers and letters after the = sign on the top of the page and then put [ / youtube] after that. It is sort of like a pic embedding.
example: from the top of this page but it wont work because its not a youtube page i added spaces so it would paste correctly so leave all spaces out.

I like the videos. It sounds mean.
What tubing did you use for your cage?
Also, we're thinking about going to KS Rocks on the 17th of April (little over 3 weeks). I plan on saying something to Mike (oaknight) too.

Thanks for the comment! Cage is 1.75" .120 wall HREW. I have a soccer game to coach on the 17th but I will see if I can't get out of it. My TBI stuff came in today but I did alright last time down so I may just leave it until after I get back. I need to get specs on my cam so I can get a chip burnt. I hope I can get it to run as good as it does now when I swap in the TBI.

The little blue one is a lawn mower that blows bubbles. It doesn't cut grass very well though...

When down to kansas rocks park again and had a blast! Met Shane (stan1668) and my brother brought his k5. We didn't get alot of pictures because it was raining its butt off but here are the few I got.
On this pic you can see my front axle didn't like where it was so it desided to try and leave without me. I had a broken center pin on the passenger side and it decided to start moving around so I winched out and went home after this one. One more reason to 4 link the front and move the front axle out another 4"-6".
We stopped to eat on the way home and I couldn't resit getting a picture with the bear out front.

Oh yeah my new truck got 6.3mpg towing my blazer! I need some engine mods or something because it was struggling on the way down with a head wind and defroster running. I didn't do to bad on the way back because we didn't have the wind and I didn't run the defrost. I had the gas pedal all the way down the whole way down there but on the way back I just set the cruise at 65mph and it seemed fine.
The defrost running should have no effect on engine performance.

Defroster doesn't turn on the ac compressor? Pretty sure it does but I guess I could be wrong.
