Seat Safety Switch posted:Always wanted to try that. How long do you think it'll take to see results? I am completely electrically retarded, and admit to only vaguely understanding the science behind it so I really don't know. I'm going to leave it going overnight, rotate it around before I leave for work tomorrow, and see where it's at when I get home. I'll post a comparative shot with the other drum when I get some results.

You can probably flip them for profit if you can find some vintage stuff.

I'd never trade my pile for a miata unless said miata had the same amount of cylinders under the hood.

Well, the Miata probably has the same compression across all cyls as the Rover. E: Oz really sucks. It comes off as some strong poo poo, and wait, no, its just prison assrape with a gimp for cut scenes. Woop-de-loving do. Its trying too hard to be edgy. I think I'm done with this series at S1E4.

Got pulled from the bucket truck job to start a job site in CT today. Except no one told me it's an 8AM start and not 7AM as usual. I showed up and the place is a ghost town. Oh well, at least I get to sleep in an extra hour the next two weeks.

NitroSpazzz posted:Driving home and see a car pulled onto the shoulder with a flat front passenger tire, decide to be nice and pull over to see if they need a hand. Got bitched out for stopping to help by some crazy bitch since I obviously only stopped because it was a woman. "Nevermind, go gently caress yourself" then drove away. To balance this out, yesterday I stopped and helped a delightful old man unseize the front caliper on his minivan. He offered to hook me up on a date with his daughter. With his daughter standing right there. When I showed him my wedding ring he said "well that's too bad, how about a coffee with me instead"  and gave me the biggest grin ever while his daughter died of embarrassment. Made my week.

Are there any android apps that can be used to track mpg? Or do you guys just use a spread sheet?

Fuelly works pretty well and you can use the website to look up the average mpg for any given vehicle, year, engine and transmission. I'm moving today and I always forget how loving terrible it is. Hopefully this will be the last time for 10+ years

Dashcommand and an obd2 dongle seems to do a great job of fuel mileage.

Hell, this was edgy then, even if it is a bit trite at times. I'm up to S2E1, and we haven't had the annoying crackhead in the wheelchair as our "Guide on the Jailhouse Ride" every 3 seconds, so, eh.. I may sit it out.

I had a bad idea in the shower last night... K24 swap into a 190E. I'm not sure if I like that idea more than turbocharging a Civic RT4WD.

Surprisingly, the 240d is only 200lbs heavier than the S2000, and I'm guessing a good chunk of that weight comes from the iron block iron head OM617 diesel engine. Can you imagine a W123 screaming to 9000rpm? I can, and it makes me feel good in my pants.

I don't know whether I'm more astonished that the Merc weighs so little or that the Honda weighs so much.

I know CSB was wanting to stuff a Mercedes V12 into a 190e. It would be terrifying and awesome.

It is still, I would argue, the most accurate (though still flawed) tv portrayal of prison in the mainstream us.

Dunno if anyone remembers but last month I think I posted about the etiquette of leaving notes on others car. Ive been seeing this MR2 lately but its always there when I come in so we must have different shifts. I left a note saying "Nice car - 'black mustang'". Today, probably over a month later I had this under my wiper:  Car friends!

I'm currently in a discussion on FB with a former coworker. He's convinced that the Mustang is gonna go to FWD eventually, because "fuel economy" and "investors" and "the market is changing". Also a used GT-R is a better deal than any American sports car.
