3/18/09 - Wednesday.. COW GETS TURBOCHARGED!!!!

Mark your calendars folks! Next Wenesday I'll be flying down to San Diego to pick up the SFR Turbocharger and I'll be flying right back and be back around noonish. Following that will be installing the turbocharger on my Cow Spotted aka Screamin' Cow aka Smart car.

All are welcome to come by! I'm hoping to have it done by 6pm for those who want to drop by for a little get together, a show and tell and test drive of the car!

Address to my shop is:

1366 North Carolan Ave.
Burlingame, CA. 94010

Hope to see you guys there! If you are or planning to come or just thinking about it.. please reply to this thread so I have an idea of who wants to come check it out

You can come earlier if your around the area to check out the installation or what not ;)

Soon to turn the screaming cow in to a smokin' cow!

WoOhoo!
Larry

Hey Geo! Ahh being busy at work I think is a good problem eh? I mean considering how I keep hearing about all these unemployement ;(

I'm hoping I can break the rear end loose now =D We just need another event at the infineon race way! I want to create two switches.. one to disable to ESC and another one which I can use to turn on a system which would allow the car to be automatically shifted to neutral when I pull the e-brake.. now that might allow me to do those crazy smart car arobatic haha..

I got an extra day off from work so I'm hoping to get it done on Wednesday and then have more days to drive the car on Thursday before I go back to work on Friday

If u can't make it on wednesday i'll be around on thursday! Hope all is going well with you!

Larry

Well folks! Sadly I was stuck in a holding pattern in the air for an hour so I am late arriving in San diego, actually I'm still on the plane waiting for an open gate. Bad news is I won't be able to make my planned return flight so that means Ill arrive back later in the afternoon and might not be able to finish the installation as planned ;(

I'm still determined to install this turbo today I just don't think I'll finish it by 6pm so for those close by, feel free to come say hi but for those that are coming from far far away land I suggest waiting til I have the turbo installed, broken in and tuned further by me

Cheers from the plane! Finally at the gate!!! 10:48 am =P
