Ben, let's go raid mom's drugs. The bottles say one thing but there's usually four or six different pills in there! It's roulette any way you go about it.

These people I live with, it's weird I think due the normality of it all. Probably shouldn't be; but I continue to fail upward. Ladued Bigasski over here, have you seen my new rug? Really ties the room together, can't get that yellowish stain out the center of it though. poo poo's weird, man.

A wild RL appears.  It’s name is “RA RLY” cause that’s about all that’s left of the badges on the back. Price was free except the fuel to get it home from southern Florida. Bombs down the highway at 90mph with ease, but we had to take it easy cause high RPM was causing oil to spray out the valve cover gaskets onto the manifolds.  Also the micro-v belts are all cracked out and the t-belt is fifteen years vintage in FL heat. But it made it home so it’s mine now.

Spa day RLY? Ra, rly.  This car is going to clean up so nice, except it's black and black cars are only clean for 15 minutes at a time. Given it takes more than 15 minutes to work from one end to the other, I will spend eternity cleaning. trouser chili fucked around with this message at 21:32 on May 24, 2021 |

IOwnCalculus posted:Alternate car name: Sisyphus Solid suggestion and pairs well with Schwagg's surname, Theseus. I like it as a middle name, RA Sisyphus Rly It is also not without some more serious cosmetic fault.  On this section near the back of the roof I'm able to pick the clearcoat off with a fingernail, and you can clearly see a large cloudy area of clearcoat delamination. Where the clearcoat remains well-adhered to the basecoat, there is fairly heavy environmental damage. I don't really do the carshow stuff so I'm not that great at making a thing pretty. I'm guessing I should pick off the loose and delaminated clearcoat, do a light fine-grit sanding of the area, spray a couple coats clear, then wetsand. I've waxed the hood, roof, and trunklid now and I can still see waterspots under the wax, I'm guessing there are multiple layers of wax on this thing and some of the waterspots and environmental damage are below the layer I put down. When you run your hand over the paint, it's largely smooth feeling but you also feel little points of grit throughout. Maybe a claybar to fix? trouser chili fucked around with this message at 16:51 on May 25, 2021 |

If there's still a detailing thread, head there. But yeah, clay is the next step before polishing. I've heard vinegar works well on water spots but haven't really tried it personally.

Florida is pretty awesome for me, honestly. Politically it's a dumb as Missouri, ain't nothing really changed. I still own the house in MO as well and the car is for driving between the two because Schwags ain't gonna cut it and the Odybus is just no. Anyway, I live on an island, got a dock, got a boat, got cool neighbors...it's great here.

hey guys... long break in posting. i've been gone in camp and with senior year, school has been ramping up.  did a cool 21 day trip on the yellowstone river and beartooth mountains as well as a 14 day trip from rainy lake to lake superior. but that's not car stuff, so let's get into it. i came back from camp to learn that my wagon's clutch was slipping (wonder who could have done that while i was away for 2 months  ) and that we had blown the poo poo out of the o2 sensor . oh well, we have a donor drivetrain so we replaced the very heat-treated clutch with a stock (i think) clutch from an f22a. i did not anticipate that trans being that much of a PITA to get out and back in.we replaced the out sensor with one from AEM along with a gauge from AEM. Things were going well! until about 2 seconds into running the car, where we were met with the 3 dashes of death on the gauge. it read correct for a minute or two, but alas, it died. i'm hoping that big ro (dad) will come on here and explain this in more technical detail, since he's smarter then me and has been working on the wagon more then i have recently. i don't think i have any pictures at the moment, will upload some later if i do find them.

AEM says the gauge is poo poo. Then they said to smash it and they'll send me a new one. Sure hope I didn't call the wrong number. Gauge was pumping 4.5V to the ECU on D14 O2 sensor pin as measured backprobed on the pins (using both ECU ground and direct battery ground). The Hondata S300 only reads 3.8V on the same pin, but I figured out that's cause D14 is a bitch that way and is capped at 3.8. Some folks say go to D10 ELD sensor pin and chop resistor R136 and R138 from the P28 ECU to make work. Even Hondata says you need chop them resistors out. Gauge didn't fuckin care how much more fuel I added to the tables, always just gave 4.5V output, which is way lean, and it's supposed to swing from 5 to 0 volts in order to say what fueling is/was (I'm shooting for 2.38 for stoich), so it's hosed. What a gently caress, I've still got a PLX wideband setting here as well, but the o2 sensor it uses is hosed and not compatible with the AEM, so I'm hosed till parts show up.

It’s a 1992 Ford E350 cutaway chassis with a Wheeled Coach ambulance body fitted. It served life as an ambulance somewhere, then was refitted for the Nixa Emergency Tactical Team (NETT), which is basically the City of Nixa, MO SWAT team. The refit consists mostly of ripping out the life support stuff and application of black paint. It has all its lights, sirens, and a PA. It’s powered by a surprisingly spry 7.3 IDI nonturbo diesel. It’s not fast but it’ll jump to 25mph in fairly short order, basically it beats most poo poo across the intersection, and that’s about it. It cares not what weight you ask it to carry, the fuel mileage is best understood in gallons per hour. You can see where they just scraped the old NETT markings off the side. I don’t own it, it’s belongs to a friend. We found it on Craigslist for $2,500 maybe a decade ago. It’s eaten a lot more money since then. Biggest expenses I know of was ripping out the rear air suspension for conventional leafs, and tires.

did some work on my wagon yesterday. not exactly happy with the pictures but oh well. replaced the old shitness evo 8 fuel injectors   the top orange o rings left orange poo poo all up in my fuel rail. cleaned it out with a rag and carb cleaner. they were pretty gnarly in general. with new hotness Deatschwerks 550cc Evo 8 injectors  they even came with a nice flow report of each injector.  these old fuckers were so stuck on the rail. it was like somebody had used locktite on the o rings that were in the rail.  we quickly figured out that the spacers and o rings that fit into the intake were not gonna cut it. so dad whipped up a o-ring/spacer widener.  in the background you can even see the rallywagon's intake, still as dirty as the day i took it off. he held the rings on the sandpaper while i held down the button. like this!  who needs gloves when you're a dad!! got the injectors nice and snug. we had to cut down the rail spacers as well, for a tighter fit. that was achieved with a sander/grinder/hard thing that spun at approximately very fast. i can still feel the plastic dust in my lungs.  very happy with how they fit. also very happy with Deatschwerk's injectors and reports. they also have tuning data on their website. dad has now scurried off to florida, where some wagon work may occur (hopefully not), but certainly no work on my wagon, as i'll need his help with some finishing touches. you can barely tell anything is broken from this picture!!!  he has also left me with the keys to the brand-spanking-new TLX. don't worry, i'll baby it.
