 Yep, sometimes, the best laid plans of Mice and Men still does not come together...

1) So, we were rained out on Friday due to heavy rain much of the day...Impossible to dyno.

2) We rescheduled for 2 pm this past Saturday, June 2nd, and unfortunately, the owner of the Dyno forgot to leave the keys for Darin to get in, so, no Dyno on Saturday, a beautiful day for it...

3) So, I have the car in the dealer getting the AC charged, and fixing the outside felted, chromed rubber window swipes...What a trip! There are 5 tabs per side that hold the window swipe in place...They tend to rust and break off over time...Reattaching the tabs is a nightmare, and by not doing so, the swipes do not fit properly. So, working on that in between attempts to dyno the car...The Lexus dealer knows I needed to dyno on both Friday and Saturday, so they were always ready for me to pick up the car ans take it to the dyno...If only the dyno was available!

4) I had swapped over the later model AC Condensor from the 2000 SC300 part out car I had bought. So, I had to go to an industrial hose shop to retrofit one of the ends from my earlier condensor so that it will work...So, got that done while working today. Good news is that I should have cold air blowing tomorrow! In the Florida Summer heat, a welcome relief...

5) The dyno is scheduled for this Wednesday afternoon at 2 pm...Weather permitting...So, if all goes well, then We shall finally have several good pulls and a Dyno Sheet to prove it.
