Madness 9 convoy meet ups

[gergorian]

40mpg my first fill up of the trip! And that's cruising at around 80mph average. My AFR is right around 14.5:1

Nice! Is that a 100 mph jdm cluster?

It's from the U.K. they were lucky enough to get 110mph clusters there. It's not a direct swap though. The plugs on the back are wired differently. I put a U.S. spec circuit board in this one, and upgraded to LED back lighting with polished aluminum tape reflector technology. Lol

I just checked all the bodily fluids and tire pressures. I have to work this afternoon then have to pack. After packing I think I will be ready to go. Charlie, I'll give you a call when I get going.

Yeah, we've got a convoy of 3 cars leaving Flagstaff AZ today. We drove from San Diego yesterday. Mad Dash 2015 is well under way. All 3 cars are running great. The b6 swap is averaging 40mpg, b6d is averaging 42 mpg and the b6t car is holding a strong 33mpg. We finished the b6 swap hours before leaving for North Carolina, so this is a 6k mile test drive. Lol.

We made it to about 150 miles west of OK city last night. Cars are running great except Tweak ran out of fuel just west of Amarillo. After we addressed that, we took a break to stretch our legs at the Cadillac Ranch. This is the first time I've seen it via full moon.

Isn't your round trip some terrible number, like 5k miles?

Since we plan on also going to the Outer Banks to see the Atlantic, our round trip will be 6000 miles, give or take.

How come the turbo car is getting much less mpg. Assuming highway constant speed cruising

Our Seafood Festival trip may be rained out this year so I may be able to swing by for a couple six packs

Sounds like fun! I'd love to do a cross country in the festy convoy sometime.

Wished I had known you guys were coming thru. Hoping to go to FM10 next year.

Tweak is G series swapped and the b6t management is rich in stock trim. If the car had a rocket chip I bet the mileage would improve a few mpg at least.

Nate, you should come out sometime and we'll all go to the track. Dragonhealer is dying to host Festivacross @ INDE Motorsport ranch, but we would need at least 20 cars to make it affordable.
