What have you done to your vehicle lately?

[Tblack89]

Broken nose, lacerated liver, hips snapped like a wishbone. I barely walked away from that one... but I did walk!

On the bright side, I won't have to go to work for at least 3 months.

That’s terrible, wish you a fast and healthy recovery. I love the optimism, that is the bright side to a shitty situation.

Looks like someone pulled out in front of you?

Modified the front end. View attachment 324475

OUCH!
Some texting idiot turned left in front of you? Or ran a red light?
Lots of homicidal maniacs out there going free. We gotta watch out!
Glad you are relatively okay and walked away. Still had to hurt.

Washed it and polished it. Could barely see through the windshield. And since I don't have any windshield wipers, I just decided to wash her. And sprayed some of the chrome, polished it all up nicely and pushed her back under cover. Oh, and checked that the rear wheel is not leaking air anymore. It was just winter air that leaked out and needed the lighter "summer" air a few months ago. Otherwise good.

Added some USB power to the engine bay.

I had a busy week. Today I installed some new Frontline series rotors and professional series pads.

Earlier this week I repainted the boat trailer. It went from a faded/rusting purple to a dark navy blue.

Driver pulled across four lanes of traffic on a red light. Visibility was excellent.

No idea why he did it. Guy only has $30k minimum liability as well. Not worth suing, as he was driving an 80s F250 out of section 8 apartments.

That’s the worst, I’ve seen it a million times and stupidity never surprises me out of these people. Glad you made it out, Hope everything works out for you.

I put an ethanol conversion kit on the 302 V8 in the F-150. Next payday I’m going to add ethanol powered generators and electric motors.

Next month I’m going to paint it rainbow.

@ZX9RCAM so I have like 30 miles on the grom now. Don't tell the wife but I shagged out of work 15 min early yesterday and today so I could take the hooligan way home.

I set the rev limiter at 6250 for the first tank of fuel. The computer I am using builds a custom tune via wideband. I have filled all the fuel trim cells from 4k to 6k. After this tank I will raise it to 8k. Tank after that will be 10k. I am not sure where I will set the final rev limit. Probably 10,8 to 11,0. I plan on tracking down a dyno so I can see where the power actually falls off. No sense in reving it out on the downward half of the curve.

I can say for sure that there is a bunch more power down low.

Sounds fun.
Keep us posted.

Here is a pic of the fuel cells I was talking about. Basically the computer will read the air / fuel mix on a rpm vs throttle graph. I had set a target ratio, the computer builds a fuel map to get get it there.

The idea is that the computer will get the engine tuned to probably 95% good enough. At that point I turn off the auto tune and it will then make small adjustments based on temp and load variables

New front titanium brake rotors and ceramic brake pads!

 

[popsgarland]

Filled up the gas tank on my truck............14.442 gal @ $4.639 per gal = $67.00. Glad I still had a little under a 1/2 tank.

I topped my truck off 9.5 gallons and got 4.5 gallons in my 6 gallon can when it cut me off at $74. 5.25 93 octane

Detailed the truck. Waiting for the brakes to wear out then get red rotors and calipers

Regular rotors, just spray painted red ... for better braking performance.
