Yeah, you’re right. I’m a torque and hp guy. :jester:

Not a 7, but I want one. http://www.wirewheel.com/1966-Austin-Mini-Honda-V-TEC-For-Sale.html

Sevens are hard to stay away from once you’ve been there. Welcome back. Post photos when you have them. :cheers:

LOL! Thank goodness the aircraft outflow valves were in proper working order. Ate the chili and flew from Cincy straight to Panama City...recycled the chili the next morning at the hotel (an episode that is deserving of its own thread); good oil pressure with a high-flow rate. :svengo: While Cincy chili ‘ain’t Texas chili’, it indeed holds its own in the world of food products with powerful intestinal cleansing properties; to expound upon Kitcat’s descriptive regarding the actual makeup of this chili, I use the term ‘food’ very loosely. However, being the gluten for punishment that I am, I purchased my very own bottle of Skyline hot sauce which tastes as though it would go exceptionally well with anything you pour it on. :jester:

Well, once you said “ta’ not to”...I just had to. :jester:

Kitcat, Sorry we cant get together, but I'll see you at NJMP. Thanks for the the tips on local flare. :cheers:

Kitcat, Glad to see you post some positive results. BTW, I’ll be doing a sleepover in your neck of the woods tomorrow night. Arriving KCVG airport around 7:00pm.

Check vale’s are designed to allow flow of a liquid in one direction, thus preventing reverse flow (flow in the opposite direction), not reduced flow. The check vale installed on my car utilizes a flapper-type valve which has a reverse flow rating of 150psi (flapper valve can prevent reverse flow up to 150psi of back pressure) and requires .5psi of back pressure to seal (shut) the flapper valve and prevent reverse flow. We could go down a rabbit hole discussing orifice plates (also known as restriction plates or restrictor orifices/RO) and check valves, but we’re getting into industrial applications such as oil and gas industry, etc.. Simply put, ‘plates’ are used for restricting/reducing psi on the downstream side only and cannot prevent reverse flow. Check valves, in their simplest form, allow flow with no reduction in psi while preventing reverse flow. The check valve I’m using: https://www.holley.com/products/plumbing_an_fittings_and_hose/adapters/valves/one_way/parts/251008ERL

John, Different animal, but FWIW, I'm runnjng a check valve on the downstream side of my oil cooler with no oil preasure reduction issues.

Go topless! :jester: However, if this guy can do this . . . . :lurk: Go to 2:30 in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAYYFEKezvM

Hilarious! And I just sent way too much time listening to this.

Croc, As alway, an awesome writeup and a great read. :cheers:

Car is keeping good company. Any video?

LOL! That's a "Croc'-n-bull story if I've ever heard one! :jester:

Registered! :seeya:

Post the GRM photo for the 'non' GRM reader audience.

I remember the photo in the article; the Westfield sitting there with its big, meaty sneakers. And David looking like he was in ‘man cave’ heaven.

How about while we're still breathing air. :jester:

CarlB, Welcome and congrats on the purchase of MichaelD’s Cat-tastic ride! A bit of inspiration to get you up to NJMP this year. Shane

.125" used. Lots of trial and error with getting the bracket angles right.

papak, While my car isn’t a Cat, here’s how I mounted Brooklands. May generate an idea or two: http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=21338

:iagree: This Cat brings out the hotrodder in me; all aluminum ‘unpainted, in-the-raw’ coach work. I think I just drooled on myself saying that. :drool: Drewbrese, what trans, rear/diff/gearing, exhaust, throttle body setup, engine management system?

This was a ‘show pony’ turned ‘go pony’ early on. I’m betting it goes as well as it shows. drewbreae, that looks to be an official invite from Tom. Hope to see you and the Cat at NJMP. :cheers:

I stand humbly corrected. :svengo: :iamwithstupid:

All this chatter and NOBODY has mentioned the idea of drewbrese bringing this beauty to NJMP in July. :driving: ..........:lurk:
