hook up a vacuum gauge to your intake piping before the tb and one to the im, the im will be seeing more vacuum, that's a fact. why is this? the tb is closed, little air is getting in, the engine is sucking in air causing vacuum in the intake manifold, there isn't as much vacuum in the intake piping because the intake manifold isn't getting much air from the intake piping.

I plan on using it as a make shift ambulance to pick up expecting mothers, kill them, and eat their babies.

That's sick! You're set up looks nice as hell.

I'm trying to recognize that parking lot, but failing.

That vid made me laugh. My wagon had been sitting for awhile. I was unemployed for awhile, had no $$ to fix it. I have a pathfinder, too, a was out doing doughnuts.

I want to make a vid of my beater: on chuckanut, going up to Baker in 18" of powpow(if it ever snows again), dirt roads(I really like the road up to the hangglider lookout on Blachard), on road/off road/sidewalk/lawn hijinks.

There's a nice grass bank I like to wallride in right as you come into Fairhaven on 12th. Also coming from Fairhaven to downtown, that left that goes down past the interurban, over the train track, by GP. I like to cut the corner after the tracks tight, go inside the telephone pole, thru the dirt, spit back on the road, and wind my piece out as fast as it will go on that straight away coming back onto cornwall.

You might know where I put my wagon into a ditch when I first got it. You know Knox, on South Hill? There that big sweeping corner around the optical engineering building, then a straight away that has some rollers, then a offcamber hairpin, that goes down hill and puts you onto 21st, right by Western. Yeah. Hit that sweeper lovely, came fast 60-70 down the straightaway, braked hard to set up for the hairpin(but not nearly hard enough) and drifted it out of that hairpin into the ditch on the far side. Car was resting on drivers side. Passenger wheels were in the air. 4Wd SL gear, and my buddy pushing on the driver's side, drove it up and out. It was throwing up mud clods for a couple days.
