    Right now I'm down to one hobby, I play World of Warcraft. I used to do photography, but my son took all my equipment to high school for a class and brought back a bag of parts... I just haven't replaced anything yet.


    If it's not broken, give me 5 more minutes!

    @F$, that idle is perfect--it's the cam causing the lopey sound.

    Re: hobbys

    turns out the ex valve on the engine is bent and hanging open , not sure if im going to fix it or just stick a 2 stroke 650cc street bike engine i have on it . the problem witht he 2 stroke engine is i have never turbocharged anything 2stroke , and its alot different then the normal 4 stroke stuff when it comes to forced induction. might be a good chance to get into something new

    on a side note is anyone here into or ever messed with 3d projection mapping

    for those of u who dont know what that is heres a cool video


    heres one on a much much larger scale


    once im done building my 5 watt aerial laser id like to start playing with the 3d projection and add it to my laser show when i dj

    if any of u guys have messed with it is the hardware exspensive , any diy options? how hard is the programing

    had a bad air temp sensor it was reading negative 60* so the ecm was commanding a ton of extra fuel , i went home grabbed my laptop fixed the sensor and took some fuel out its starting to smooth out but i have alot of tunning to do still
    the engine has 120 pound per hour injectors in it so its going to be very hard to get a good clean idle

    i hhave a new video im uploading now ill post it when youtube finishes encoding it

    Re: hobbys

    i worked on it some today, i was able to fix the original carb so i threw it back on the bike so i could start it up to be sure on the engines condition ,it wont start im just getting a whole lot of backfiring out the exhaust system, im thinking either the cdi box is bad or somehow it slipped time on the ex valve, my friend is much more familiar witht he suzukis then i am so hes going to come by and take a look at it for me tommorow.hopefully its something stupid so i dont have to tear ito the engine just yet.


    other then that i did manage to get the bike cleaned up and was able to start preping the body panels for paint , ill get some pictures up later today as i left the cable for my phone at work

    I used to collect baseball/football cards but haven't bought any in years. Still have everything though. Well over 100,000 cards and it takes up quite a bit of space lol
