Known by a number of names, Xanthophobia, or Fear of the Color Yellow and Fear of the Word Yellow being the most common, the problem often significantly impacts the quality of life. It can cause panic attacks and keep people apart from loved ones and business associates. Symptoms typically include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and overall feelings of dread, although everyone experiences phobia of the word yellow in their own way and may have different symptoms.
Washington's Yellow Fever
27 December- Lids from www.carbonbydesign.com installed today. Clear turn bulbs en route, didn't make it here by Christmas. Holdup in the mail service, I guess.
11 September- New dyno results. The #'s are SAE 291 HP, 326 ft-lbs. Here's the dyno sheet:
09 September- S1, S2 WGA, short-throw are finally installed. Boosting ~ 20psi (spike), 18psi (hold). Will dyno again soon to see where the hp #'s are at.
06 September- First time ever on track!!! Ran an SRT at Pacific Int'l Raceway on Labor Day. Timeslip below, 13.908 @ 99.98mph. Yeah, the R/T and mph are slow, we'll work on that for next time.
24 July- Baseline Stage 0 w/CAI Dyno. Dyno'd @ Axiom in Lakewood/Tacoma today. Have the S1, MBC and WGA ready to install, needed to get the baseline. Here it is: 221.2 bhp, 289.11 ft-lbs torque. 89 deg F, 24% humidity. Remember, this is an 03, so I was pleasantly content with these #'s.
10 June- Made some decals to go on our car, Yellow Fever. Thought I'd post 'em. Personal fave is the MOPAR SRT on the wing. Used a blue that would show up well on the yellow, but made the SRT black. Was going to put PVO on it instead, but I've been told PVO is now officially known as SRT.
I really liked the SRT on Mopar's website (yellow & blue), so that's how the wife and I have decided to do ours. We're not going to be as gaudy, but the yellow and blue make a nice contrast. At least we think so...
K&N Typhoon w/ air bypass valve
Hard to see, harder to reach BOV
Going to pull off the manifold cover, paint it yellow w/ HT paint, and detail the letters blue.
If you're interested in these decals, I still have a lot of vinyl left, and could make 'em for ya:
