Yeah, I know. They sent me this one which wasn't on RetailMeNot. <:smuggo:>

I feel completely retarded. I finally broke out the ohmmeter and tested the old coil pack vs the new coil pack in the Explorer. They don't match up.

The replacement coil pack is lined up like this (as it shows in the Ford documentation):

4|6|5
3|2|1

The old coil pack was lined up (and fired correctly as):

6|5|4
3|2|1

It looks like the same pack, and I don't see a single Ford coilpack that fires 6|5|4 like that. Why does/did it? :iiam:

No wonder it was missing and fouling plugs now. I also found that one of my 'new' plug wires from RA was arcing and had a crack in the boot. Replacing that fixed the other random pop. Guess I should finish the fluids and go register the beast. Its time to rereg the 9-5 which needs a new headgasket, too. Fun, fun. :v:

Yeah, the green one with the spare on the front. I'm pretty sure they only did that for that event to get some extra traction up front for that hillclimb.

Thanks for humouring me. I hope that's the case. It looks like it'd be a pretty major handicap otherwise. So does that mean the rules allow shuffling things around for challenges?

I'm assuming so, for minor stuff like that it doesn't seem to be a huge deal. I know later on when he's doing the Frame Twister section he doesn't have it mounted there (Or anywhere, as far as I can see). Top Truck seems to be pretty lax on stuff like that.

Did they fix the godawful handling? I know they completely redid the engine and it made the cars handle like absolute poo poo. It was basically impossible to get proper airtime off jumps and if you turned off assists, they either plowed through corners or spun out the instant you touched the throttle :(

I don't have a problem with the handling but I'm playing in default auto mode so have no idea what it's like without any assists.
I always go for playing driving stuff as games rather than accurate driving simulators.

I'm happy because It's finished enough to play and works perfectly for me and is really fun. I'm getting my £20 worth out of it.
I only have this and carmageddon reincarnation on early access. Carmageddon is too slow and buggy to be playable. Next car game however is working perfectly.

I just gave it a shot, and it's better than it was. When they first reworked the engine, assists off was basically unplayable with a 360 pad, and assists at full was pretty much an instant win button because the car just gripped like tarmac. Now I can actually drift corners with all the assists off, so they've made progress at least. Still can't really get as much air as you could before they redid the engine though :sigh:

Drink some Gatorade with minimal/no booze in it. Welcome to the outside world. If your limbs are stinging, you are a bit late, but soaking washcloths in white vinegar and letting it sit for hours on affected areas (until sting dies off) works quite well. Don't bathe afterwards for several hours. Burn-B-Gone.

Hmm, might have to give this a shot if multiplayer is involved.

Also: God damnit, both of my BMW's are out. Well, the E30 is a project, so it isn't expected to be running, but now my daily's being a jerk. At least I don't start my new job until next Monday, so I have a week to figure it out.

It's actually genius despite how specific it is to your location. It's great to post anonymously but it wouldn't mean anything if it were posted to everyone in the world. They limit it to ~1.5 miles from your location AFAIK so that when you make a post there's some semblance of a chance that readers will understand what the gently caress you're talking about.

You should come to terms with the fact that this describes literally everywhere you could exist in the world.

I think it's really interesting. It's pretty brutal though to see what people REALLY say with anonymity.

If you guys think Yik Yak is bad, you should download Unseen. It's like anonymous instagram instead. The poo poo people will say to girls that post their pics is unreal. It's like a direct GBS feed of "PSSSHHHH FATASS BITCH GO RUN ON A TREADMILL!!!" from everyone when you know they too look like poo poo.
