dunefreak Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 Ok here it is.... http://www.dumontduneriders.com/videos/V_Rex.wmv I love how quiet it is. Ryan was hitting the rev limiter in 3rd geard at about half/three quarter hill too. Time to re-gear and go even faster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spooner Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 thanks Pete !!! that jump on top in the 2nd run is cool it looks like the shocks are still a little soft valved and she is sitting too high the gearing is way too short; you can hear the rev-limiter popping (i guess it would look cool at night when the turbos blow the unburned fuel out the tailpipe ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a pain in the a$$ that was. We had to pull the bypasses out and then the coils to adjust them out of the car. Then we did a dune run to the north pole and by the time we got to comp hill all 4 shocks had leaked. Thats why it was riding like crap at that point.

lvnalolife Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 All I have to say is Wow that thing is just as bad a$$ in person as it is in the pictures. Get those shocks fixed Ryan. You are gonna have a fun time the rest of the season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to pull the bypasses out and then the coils to adjust them out of the car. sorry for that the coil-carriers have also a valving in it so we had to run the expansion can on them too....together with the big bypass there is just no room to get to the preload ring i guess that short fat fukker is just overstuffed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooner Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 BTW: check out the related videos to the right now i see what you are talking about : that video is a classic and still funny as hell...poor Bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 now i see what you are talking about : that video is a classic and still funny as hell...poor Bert no not that one (although that was great too). I meant the videos that come up on You Tube while you are watching the V Rex one on there. There are lots of space shuttle liftoff videos that come up since I used that as the keywords for the video.

dunefreak Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hey Ryan I didn't get a pic of your car where you blew that fuse, but buggychick did! That was a messed up spot to lose power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooner Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hey Ryan I didn't get a pic of your car where you blew that fuse, but buggychick did!

dunefreak Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 We tried pulling the front end down the hill. Yeah right! Well we did manage to move it a little bit, but he just hit the gas and it pulled out ok. I'll tell ya what...it was a pleasure to finally dune with Ryan and his new car. Its been a long time. I almost forgot that Ryan went to the dunes there for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
