Title: Taking Joanna to Hospital on Sunday night.......
Post by: MontanaGTD on December 05, 2006, 11:16:53 am
My wife started having contraction on Sunday night at 7pm and told me it was time we had better make a move to the hospital - so we jumped in the GTd and drove to the hospital - we did the 44 miles in 33 minutes! :)

Joanna had a beautiful baby girl 6 pounds and 15.5 ounces at 10.30pm on Sunday night. Both Mum and baby Kathryn are doing great!

I've got Rebekah's car seat in the back - Kathryn's seat is in the front!

Its the first time i've actually powered along for anytime - and i actually thought i saw the gauge move! (120mph+ its std other than the smog mod and a bigger diameter exhaust!)

holy man! lol just below 5000 rpm... its at that point that you gotta think to yourself "man... i hope my head gasket holds!!!"

i've seen andy2's setup... he has an electric lift pump to give more fuel to his pump... such an excellent idea!  i will be looking further into that for my car.  it will really assist the pump in delivering fuel up high in the rpm range, and probably worth a few extra hp, and maybe even saving an injection pump in the long run :)

hopefully when i get my CHE installed with 0.71 5th, i will get the 16 inch wheels i wanted to put on installed too... at 4500 rpm, my car would be going 124.4mph :)  at 5000 rpm, i might be able to bury the needle...!!! though the needle already reads about 10 km/h fast on the highway lol

Congrats on your new arrival (or not so new by now  :) ).  You'll have a 4T box in there I think, I've only had mine up to 105 so far, as mine's the poverty spec edition with no rev counter.
Cheers,
Tom
