Another successful day out at Sam's
Hard luck storey has to go to Chris, arrange a dyno day, drive up from the frozen capital, throw a blower belt whilst cruising up here & then have to leave your car in the car park and watch the award for highest Forced Induction LS-1 leave without him.
Luckily he managed to find a comfy stool at the front desk, found a pen :P and got the list together for all of our cars to have a run. All smooth as silk. We are deffinatley getting the hang of it all now.
Top job mate :yup:
Todd was as his usual best running his dyno. We are lucky to have him there for our Dyno days ( and it was a Sunday too :) ) His talk on the workings of a Dyno, set up and items areas to note was well worth the listen.
Sam was at home in his engine assembly room. Talks were conducted with groups of 10 at a time with regards to cams - what they do - what the numbers mean - and checking for accuracy on the cam gadget guizmo thingy. Getting to see Sam on days like this is very rare. The knowledge he has, and willingly shares, is nothing short of amazing.
Darren was unable to take up his usual position of snoozing in the engine dyno room, Sam was giving a competition 253 holden red motor some runs. We still beleive Darren's snoring would have had the same dB outcome as the motor though :P.
He still managed to vanish for a few hours though .......
I was lucky enough to meet just about every owner. I also got to have a drive of most of the cars there too ( though it was mainly in reverse :( )
There were some very nice rides running around the shop. And a few serious sleepers lurking out there too. It is always fun to watch faces when a stock looking car turns up and then produce some very healthy numbers.
HAVAGO was one of the more serious cars on the day. Dave has spent a hell of a lot of time and effort to get the beast where it is now, all so his wife can drive it around. It is her car after all.
Also a big thanks to the BBQ chefs that smoked out the workshop burning our beloved snags :lmao:
We all hope everyone had a good day out at Sam's, and remember to get those additional mods done before our next one.
