TOPIC: Get Grooved by mail

Yeah sound dude cool name
Ive been here for years
I just recently got my carb over hauled at a carb shop out here in la
Not so happy
Can you suggest a foreign shop carburetor anywhere in 50 states

Well you guys have pretty much outlined the current situation. I was in email contact w/ Ron over 2 months ago, and then he vanished. Not a good sign, I really hope he is OK. Ron has been a candle in a dark world.

Without real Gadgetman bits, you cannot cut the real Groove. People have tried to fake these unusual tools, with varying results. Until the bit situation is fixed, one could use all the "side tricks", as Dr Dude described. As far as fuel economy goes, it begins with vehicle condition/maintenance. Then mods can be added. In the end, it is then how it is operated.

An imperfect analogy to illustrate driving technique: Imagine if food tasted better according to how one eats it. As in the best tasting steak is when you are healthy, well-dressed, using proper manners, eating at a well-set table, having stimulating friendly conversation with folks you like.

Compare that mental image with a starving injured sick Caveman hurriedly trying to rip a chunk of burnt flesh off the carcass of a dead animal killed trying to flee the lava flow from the nearby rumbling volcano... Who would you rather have dinner with?

Hang in there everyone. Real results come from thinking and learning. IF you want the famous Gadgetman Groove applied to your gasoline engine, I'm available to Groove by Mail.

Maybe if Mr Caveman had a properly tied necktie and pressed slacks...

Barry, would it be possible to do a Weber carb swap on your Toyota? I dunno if the Smog laws in LA would allow that. But the Weber 32/36 DGEV swap that replaced the computer feedback Hitachi on my 85 Subaru made a world of difference. And the Weber is Groove-able. Carb shops esp. good ones, are getting rare nowadays. But it depends on if the Smog Laws in LA would allow it. I'm sure there are Weber kits available online for your 'Yota. You need to know what you are doing with a swap like this, it gets involved.

To DIY this I'd expect to spend $500.00 or so, there always seems to be extra details to deal with.

Can you describe the problems it's having?

Wow. That is just excellent man.

I have made my own engine oil without using any petroleum by products and it runs great and it so safe to dispose off too.

Apart from that, that are some other cool stuff that can improve mileage on petrol or diesel vehicles.

Try this, for every 1 litre of Fuel, add 2ml of 2T oil, got to be precise on this calculation.

The 2T Oil is there to lubricate the upper cylinders thus improving mileage and response.

Been doing this for YEARS now..

Well like I said earlier if I try too accelerate fast like normal instantaneously like a bog out
Will happen ,but yeah I'm willing too try anything my rig is 30yrs old the smog shop does not sweat me that much as long as it seems

Oh yeah Tracy at the present time I would stay locked and loaded and have people watching out for each
Other like a security vortex ,cook and eat at home . The gov't. Is fuc with my post on hear you never know what else there doing.

cheapstuff, where are you located? I'll have to look up 2T oil...

In Asia... where we get 97-100 octane at the Pump!!!

Actually, I think we all get the same gas. we just have different ways of selling it:



Fuel octane ratings explanation and compared.



the "Ultra94" I can get on the pump here at one particular chain is most likely the same or very similar recipe as your 100 octane, given global standards and the monopolistic petrochemical industry...

Again, a new thread with this discussion should be started to keep the original intent of this one on track. we've veered off course...how did we get from getting grooves done by mail to a discussion of AKI vs octane?

OK back on track. First I'd like to thank all of you who have been in touch with this Gadgetman. Both in regards to getting your TB Grooved by mail. And, also in regards to the question of bits. That is being worked on--that's all I have on that for now.

I have had 2 TB's sent in for Grooving so far, both are back with their Owners now. One hasn't given me any feedback yet, but the second one--Well he called me after he reinstalled the TB, following my instructions carefully. He gave a Glowing post-ECU relearn drive report. Thanked me profusely he did, was extremely pleased w/ the results in power AND in MPG from the onboard readout. He says he is going to drive his Groovy Honda Accord on a long trip soon, and promised to report back results. I will leave him as Mr Anonymous for now, I've invited him to post in here w/ us, and I really hope he joins in the discussions. I told him since he had done most of the Pre-Groove Preps before getting the Groove--that he is a Gadgetman without bits!

And the calls to me as a Gadgetman keep coming...

May God Bless Ron Hatton. May He keep him safe. And, may He put Ron back in touch with us soon!

Tracy G

Just keepin' this thread on the front page, folks.

cool things are going on in the off-site regions of Gadgetman Land...

Stick around...

Tracy G

Has Ron Hatton been away researching and plotting his next gift to the world?
Will TracyG announce a new bunch of bits are available for aspiring gadgetfolk?
oooh, behind the scenes action! Can't wait for the Big Reveal!
I guess we'll have to stay tuned to find out!

Belated answer to Dr. Dude's last here: Yes, and Yup!

Again- Stand By for further announcements

"Don't fire till ye hear the whine 'o me Dremel, Lads!"
