And coming up in just a few days on April 11th is Team.Net's Silver Anniversary. Yes, on April 11, 1991 the domain was registered and went on the air. In truth, it existed before that in the form of two mailing lists, british-cars and autox which were outgrowths of rec.autos Usenet groups. Murky history there. But Team.Net as we know it today has been around for a quarter of a century. Of the 60 some lists on the server, most are inactive. I may take some time this summer to clean up and remove any lists that have not seen any posts for N months, the value of N to be determined. Some lists, though, are still going strong, soldiering on from the days when Team.Net lists and website were at the leading edge, the only game in town. It was estimated that at the 1997 SCCA Solo II Nationals, their Silver Anniversary, roughly 2/3 of the 1,000+ participants were on the autox list. If you check out http://autox.team.net you will find many pages last updated about 24.99 years ago, though, hardly leading edge now. One of these days ... Who could have foreseen how a simple stream of 1s and 0s could be such a part of the lives of so many people, the catalyst for enduring friendships, a formidable source of knowledge and inspiration? How many cars are on the road these days instead of the scrap heap because of us and our efforts over decades? Happy Birthday to us. and carry on! mjb. ps: I am sending this out a few days early because on Monday I will be on the road somewhere between Phoenix and Salt Lake City. I'll look into the multi-hour delay in posting when I return. ______________________________________________ Mg-t@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/archive From mg-t-bounces@autox.team.net Sat Apr 30 14:14:10 2016 Return-Path: Delivered-To: mharc@autox.team.net Received: from autox.team.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id C59602588D32 for ; Sat, 30 Apr 2016 14:14:10 -0600 (MDT) Delivered-To: mg-t@autox.team.net Received: from omr-m018e.mx.aol.com (omr-m018e.mx.aol.com [204.29.186.17]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7558D25887CA for ; Sat, 30 Apr 2016 04:15:13 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mtaomg-maa02.mx.aol.com (mtaomg-maa02.mx.aol.com [172.26.222.144]) by omr-m018e.mx.aol.com (Outbound Mail Relay) with ESMTP id EBA963800092; Sat, 30 Apr 2016 06:15:08 -0400 (EDT) Received: from core-mab04g.mail.aol.com (core-mab04.mail.aol.com [172.27.62.4]) by mtaomg-maa02.mx.aol.com (OMAG/Core Interface) with ESMTP id 97A3A38000082; Sat, 30 Apr 2016 06:15:08 -0400 (EDT) Received: from 173.77.146.170 by webprd-m79.mail.aol.com (10.74.71.89) with HTTP (WebMailUI); Sat, 30 Apr 2016 06:15:07 -0400 Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2016 06:15:07 -0400 From: laf48@aol.com To: mg-t@autox.team.net, mg-tabc@yahoogroups.com x-aol-global-disposition: G s=20150623; t=1462011308; bh=126MKLnJjKYvIXOOT9kjQtCyBQtRCp0BvKNwb8yv5Qk=; h=From:To:Subject:Message-Id:Date:MIME-Version:Content-Type; b=KOQw95jyg+cBS1x2F3vT2GdWPJS5A4TtlPmcXxhHvJU/X3VTJgrB2pmDdKNuaxWGG KxbL0b8z4ZLyHgokYdc1Pxp/ZfCN9lQCUEcnqV/3yjIbsLybyb1MhwKWNn69C1Bx4f HJVJH5uq+rO6fxBxNYamEMezkiNLLLyMMFaPXiBk= x-aol-sid: 3039ac1ade90572485ac772a Subject: [Mg-t] MG XPEG 1500 engine dyno Errors-To: mg-t-bounces@autox.team.net --===============5130261650695816263== boundary="----=_Part_31525_43187778.1462011307746" ------=_Part_31525_43187778.1462011307746 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello all, I was asked what other modifications were done to this engine, here is the response; Hi Len, The compression ratio is 9 to 1 on an aluminum Laystall cylinder head. Bore size is plus 40 on a 1500 block. The distributer is stock with a Petronix inside. The Laystall head is not modified and the intake and exhaust manifolds are original and not modified. the test run was made with TF air filters installed. One and one half inch SU carburetors were used and Jim fine tuned the timing and carburetors during the dyno run. The crew made a number of runs before getting the engine to 90 HP at 5200 RPM with Jim making minor adjustments to the carburetors and timing.
