Re: drive anyone?
It is strange up here. Every ferry from horseshoe bay to the coast was full. I'm not sure how getting out of town for the weekend counts a essential travel.
If no one from the future comes back to stop you from doing it then how bad of a decision can it really be?
Re: drive anyone?
I'm itching to get some road time in, sadly must wait a bit longer for clean roads here in Edm. You guys should be safe to "social-distance-congregate" but if you can do it on private property all the better.

Re: drive anyone?
So am I, at least it will have to be local, no-mountain stuff, all our corridors are still in winter mode. Be a month at least before the roads through the passes get clean of sand and gravel.
No Knox Mountain Hillclimb so that takes the May Long weekend out of the equation.
With so little traffic I might just try the Sea to Sky hiway and buzz to Squamish for a picnic lunch.

Re: drive anyone?
I have to get my butt in gear and get over to the garage and get it fired up, been hoping for a really warm day to heat up the inside.
I have to pull the O2 sensor, install new one, strip out old Innovate stuff, and mount new AEM wideband. I hope the mount is quite generic so I can use my existing mount without too much BS.
At least when going through my tubs I found the wiring diagram I did for Rob'c suggestion of a relay and direct battery voltage, so that part is done.
Then....I will be ready.....

Re: drive anyone?
Well I got my car out a few times this week. I just need to neaten up a few things inside then I am ready to go. It looks like we are getting a bunch of rain in the next 2 weeks so maybe after that we can go.

Re: drive anyone?
I’ve had a bit of a set back in the ‘Ready to go ‘ department. Had some sort of ignition failure today backing the Bronze back in the garage this evening. Will diagnose further tomorrow. It’s a wasted spark system, one coils not working for sure.
But I really need to do a nut and bolt check, and flush the brake fluid. The Bronze didn’t drive all last year, save or a few starts around the yard. And I ate a cam the year before when I swapped in the twin carb head and induction. That’s a whole other story.
Anyways, I’ll do my best to be prepared.
