Yeah, I made a mistake, I let my car run out of gas. I made it home from college last Wednesday and put my car up on jack stands because I was going to work on the gas tank, instead I installed my new (well used from James) ST RSB. So that plus being out of town for the weekend left my car up for 4 days or so, then last night DaveBond007 and I went out to see what the new RSB felt like (very sweet btw). I drove about a mile and a half then was going to let Dave drive abit, but then not even 50 feet after he started driving the car started studdering because it was low on gas. He shut it off for a minute, started it, and we drove back to my house (a block or two) and put it back in the garage.

Then tonight he came over again and we changed his gear oil (I remembered that I hate the smell of used gear oil) and since its easier to work inside the garage I moved my car across the street (I live in a cul-de-sach). Then when it was time to put my car back, I couldnt get it to go. If I pushed on the gas the tach would go down instead of up (high idle @~1500rpm) then die.

Now I didn't want to use the gas I had in the garage because it was for the lawnmower and was 87octane, and I'm running 20* ignition advance and a 470k knock sensor resistor. Anyway, a few minutes later we were dumping the gas into my car so that I could make it home ( ).

Sorry you cant see my gauges, I need to replace the bulbs with brighter ones (I just colored the stock ones blue a few weeks ago and its just not bright enough). You can see the Autometers in the DIN, and the red light next to them is for my VTC's theres a Blue one for the VI. Also in the 'to the garage' video I was revving the engine to make sure it would actually go instead of die on me (again). By the 14/15 second mark the clutch was fully engaged

 

gas is quite an important thing to have

 

I'm lucky my car runs on air, not gas.

 

Shoulda farted in the gas tank.

 

hahahahh

We need to get some videos coming from this side of the country to go along with the NY videos

 

all you need to do is run out of gas one day and have your camcorder with you.

 

Atleast you weren't in the middle of no where. Once my friends car ran out of gas and we were coming from a party at 4am out on long island somewhere. Not fun being stranded on the LIE at 4am when its 40 degrees outside.

Seems like black, white & red were the most popular colors. Beige and blue being the next. Probably maroon and green being the most rare.
