    It looks like RSVP option was only available to the members of the BayArea02 club, so now it has been open to all. Please RSVP if you plan on coming. Steve

    Event Title: Post Swap and Show Tacos and Beer at the FAQ Headquarters Event Location: Scotts Valley, CA, 95066 Event Author: steve k. Event Date: 05/04/2024 03:00 PM Post Swap and Show "Tacos and Beer Party" is back! Let's eat some Tacos and drink some beer after the big BayArea02 Event. Bring yourself. Nothing else is needed. We have several beds, a couple of air beds, lots of couches, and floor space if you want to stay the night. Many have done this in the past. The last time we managed to fit 12 cars in the driveway and the rest at the bottom of the hill. I think we can do better than that 🙂 I think 17 is the magic number. You are welcome to jump in the pool, as it should be on the warmer side by May. Though the event is private, we always welcome friends of friends. So invite those who you do not see on the list especially if they have been here in the past. The group has grown over time, and we always welcome great new people. Please, RSVP as we need to know the count for the Tacos. The address is not listed as I would prefer to keep it from the wonders of the internet, but I will send it to everyone who will RSVP.

    Sun brought out over 20 cars for this annual even. Unfortunate we had to bring the support vehicle as I have not had a chance to figure out why the 1800 refuses to run well when warm. Here are some photos from the morning gathering before the drive.

    Locally, Hoover at Turbohoses might be a good resource. He is in Livermore. If you already know what you want, finding a place that does exhaust for the 4x4 crowd is a good start. They know how to bend and tuck things as needed. If you do not plan on going out there and winning things, I would not worry about chasing the extra 2 HP by tuning the muffler location compared to the collector. That part might come later.

    A couple of cool articles Exhaust Header Theory and Proper Exhaust Tuning BURNSSTAINLESS.COM In order to explain the effect of exhaust tuning on performance, let’s take a quick look at the 4-stroke engine cycle. The first step in the 4-stroke process is the intake stroke. With the intake valve open, the piston travels down the cylinder pulling a fresh air and fuel mixture into the... Muffler Technology - Sound Measurement BURNSSTAINLESS.COM Muffler Technology – Part 1 Sound Measurement Over the past few years, as residential homes have been built closer and closer to race tracks, there has been a strong movement towards reducing the sound from race cars. At some tracks, such as Laguna Seca in California, the... There are a lot more interesting things to read there. I need to find an article explaining the distance from the collector to the expansion. That should allow some thoughts on the distance of the muffler/resonator from the collector.

    I highly recommend Burns Stainless Burns Stainless: Performance Exhaust, Collectors, Race Mufflers BURNSSTAINLESS.COM High Performance Stainless Steel Exhaust Parts. Burns Stainless offers exhaust parts, tubing... I ran their muffler on my race car and passed all sound limits including San Diego where they were a bit rediculous. You get to pick the internal diameter, external diameter, andlength. They are also serviceable and can be repacked. They are super light: 3 to 4 pounds. They are not cheap, but in this situation you get what you paid for. Our rules were that the exhaust has to exit behind the driver seat, so I ran the header to a short pipe to muffler, another short pipe and turn down right after the driver seat. I did not take it to the side. Steve K.

    Shamrock Rally

    steve k. posted an event in Events

    This is a single-day Vintage Car Rally for 1975 or older sports-type vehicles. We also enjoy dull, drab, and just plain weird cars. This is a chance to free up those seized brakes and get your car ready for the driving season. If your vintage ride is disabled or newer than the 1975 rusty line in the sand, just let us know. The vintage cars do take priority. Meet up is at 8:30 AM and Tiferet by the Park coffee shop at 3020 H Street in Sacramento. There will be time for coffee, snacks, and schmoozing. Sign in, get a route and a sticker. Drive off will be around 9;30 AM. We are looking at 125 miles for this event. The rally will end at Red Bus Brewing, 802 Reading Street in Folsom.
