Ruckus Family Reunion

Photobucket

Can't believe I forgot to post this. Sunday Aug 31st we held the first Ruckus Family Reunion. It was great, we saw a serious accident involving a Lexus SUV, got some great grub at The Loveless Cafe, and rode on the Natchez Trace. Which, if you've never been it is gorgeous. Absolutly amazing. So amazing in fact that we are going back to do it again on Oct. 12th.

Here are a few snapspots from along the way:

Next to the big boys at the Loveless.

A lot of people ask what the gas mileage is like, here's me filling up.

Oh, and this too.

In addition to the racing coil, I got this in the mail today from my favorite spot, Bowls LA.

New mods

I've fallen a bit behind in blogging. Sorry, I'm pretty sure no one reads this tho so who really cares.

I added these, which were a pain in the ass. Biggest PITA so far, I actually messed up my hand while adding these things.
They add some stiffness to the clutch, which gives me better acceleration.

The next things were hella easy. I added a new NGK Iridium spark plug. Gives a better spark, hopefully it will run better in colder weather too which is just around the corner.

I also added a new spark plug wire. Again, should optimize the spark. James told me that spark plug cables do actually make a difference so I'm gonna trust him.

Tonight, I added the Posh Racing Ignition, supposed to provide more spark to the plug and offer a smoother idle. We'll see tomorrow.
