Great color combo. How much track time before you switched to a different platform?

I have. And it is pretty damned close (subjectively, of course, as there’s no actual oil quantity associated with the min/max marks). I would offer you do same and see what you find.

Decided to not ‘roll the bones’ in case I ever needed a flatbed back to home plate. Cheap insurance in case the truck doesn’t happen to have one…$34 at the Big A Now him having Race Ramps or 8’ long 2x10’s to get the 7 deg max ramp angle is a different problem altogether. Just read about the...

One of the threads hereabouts notes that oil expands ~10% when at op temp and given our oil capacity, that’s about a quart difference btwn checking cold vs hot. I’ve noticed that the difference btwn the two holes (min/max) is about a quart. And what appears to be slightly below the bottom hole...

It’s like getting track rash…but I didn’t get to have the fun that went with the battle damage. Maybe she stays status quo and earns some rash the right way? Lots of seat time at big Willow Springs, just not yet in the 350…hmmmmm….

Well, after two pain-free years of zero anything damage, got to cars and coffee this morning and see this. Don’t know wtf I hit but something kicked up and bit the snake. Going to try and get the plastic to settle down and glue it w/ isocyanate, then see if the ppf will relax. Trying to heal...

Back in the day when your much appreciated tax dollars put fuel in my jet, I lost a squadron mate while performing low altitude close air support at night while flying on night vision goggles. I will never forget what my CO told all of us in the aftermath. He said “NVG‘s are just an additional...

Scoured the www for an hour and roughly 80% of the threads were harness related. My Dad was a nut and bolt salesman when I was a lad and we always had a bench full of Kar Products wares. Butt connectors galore and Scotch connectors that proved to be more of a PITA than their worth. I have a...

Got the letter in the mail today regarding rear camera safety recall for my ’18 350. My reverse camera doesn’t turn on every once in awhile in reverse so I’m sure I’m due for the repair. After finding a thread hereabouts that points to the wiring harness that goes from beneath the speaker...

Fire bad. So is an injector rinsing oil off cylinder walls. Can’t remember if it was E9X or F10 BMW M series that had the same issue and it results with a (very expensive) engine replacement.

Can you please post pix of the noted blemishes? This color gets my full attention whenever I see it. Will add a 500 to the mix at some point.

Great minds think alike, Gentlemen!

The Pony’s stablemate that normally sits on top of the 4 post dying of shadow poisoning because I prefer the 5.2 FPC sound hands down. Considering moving this along to add a 500 to the ‘cave…not sure if I’d regret losing the nimble nature of the flat 6 Mezger missile.

The bug for sound upgrade finally bit me hard enough to inject the venom that relinquishes the grip on the American Express. Primary Objective: Add some much needed bump while not falling into the upgrade rabbit hole. Background: Got spoiled by two 12” Alpines in the back of a 280ZX back in...

Just went through this and found some discrepancies that I read in various threads on the world wide web. I am powering a 500W amp so this works fine with a 4AWG power lead. Might be able to go one step larger gauge but this is ‘guaranteed’ (lol) for 4AWG cable. First, I read that it wasn’t...

Wrapping up a sound upgrade. Focals on the rear deck, a Dayton 3.5” for center front channel, LC2iPro, JL XD500/3 (rears/sub), and a Skar box fitted with the JL 12W1v3-2. That box and the sub are a match made in heaven…I will confess that I’ve never had a single 12” move so much air. The rear...

Just got introduced to this thread and I’m going to submit for 6 college credits now that I’ve read all 14 pages. Holy cerebral dB overload, Batman! Major props to GTP for sharing his expertise. He’s forgotten more than I’ll ever know…and given said expertise, a penny for thoughts about why the...

Copy that. But I still have some homework to do so I can follow the entirety of your thoughts. Well thought out logic trees that I hope to be able to speak fluently before this journey is over. Break- rolled in on the wiring today to get power to the amp rack and install the Focals on the rear...

Thanks for your response here and the audio diagrams. I fully appreciate the objective sound data as so much of my historical experience depended on subjective impressions of system performance. Stereo shops pitched profit margins disguised as ‘best bang for your buck’ and the ultimate system...
