Re: Hot ride home ....

Chris,

If you have a pretty decent video editing system you can make VCD's wich
will play on DVD players. But you do have to use the MPEG1 standard (which
you are right, pretty well sucks for anything other than animation). I can
record MPEG2 files to DVD with menu options, so once I get a tape from you I
will play with it. I can also turn the still images into part of the
movies/option menu.

Well the only thing I can think of is that the 91 S4 got the GT exhaust, the
muffler I removed had dual pipes rather than the single oval. Apart from
that all is standard.

Well I just found out that I cannot produce DVD discs as I had thought (told
you this was all new) so I am of to Costco to get a bunch of tapes. Looking
at it using mpeg1 on the computer just doesn't do it justice. Have had some
fun with the editing though, editor is capable of more than I thought (apart
from producing DVD files ....)

My air con is going to get recharged tomorrow, Leif was supposed to do it
when I had my 60K service but I looked through the receipt and I couldn;t
see an item for it. If it was low 18 months ago I am surprised it lasted
this long.

How is the tube or have you been taking a break (no pun intended).

Dave Schmidt from where I used to work who lurks on the PCNW list is of to
Seattle on Friday to hopefully pick up the GT. We may be growing.

Hey Chris,

Glad to hear you had a safe, although hot, ride home.

Thanks once again for allowing me to take your shark down the strip.

Once thing I've noticed about your 928, and correct me if I'm wrong, but it
has a very distinct exhaust tone. I noticed it first at the dyno day, and
confirmed it watching the films at Curt's website. I had forgotten about
it, and then noticed it again when I filmed you racing at the strip. It
sounds much more throaty from idle up to about 3K when it then sounds like
the other RMB'd 928's. Am I dreaming here? Next time you watch the drag
race videos, let me know if you hear the same. It's a great tone, I wish I
knew had to duplicate it. My RMB is on the way, so I'll have a similar
exhaust note soon, but I don't think it'll be the same. Do you have any
other exhaust mods?

By the way, in reply to your other post, I would love a CD of those drag
films when you get the chance. Take care, and I'll see at the Showdown.

-Adam

So it seems my aircon decided it was going AWOL yesterday on the way
home,
the rear worked fine but the output is too puny to cool the car and air
from
the front was only marginally cooler than the outside air. I guess it
needs
a recharge but what a day to go south, my daughter was in the back and OK
but we were roasting in the front, well glad to get home.

I had a great time at the strip, thanks for organizing it Adam and apart
from a little sun burn (which got worse on the way home :-( ) I seem to
be
much better for the experience !!!

So Tom how did you get home ???

As for the website which Adam mentioned in his writeup I believe Tom now
has
the (un)official PCNW website.

Hope everyone got home OK and see you all again in person in the fall.

Chris
