Went down to Home Depot and got a torque wrench set and a pair of 3 ton axle stands so I can change out the winter/summer set on my gf's Honda Pilot......
(and also swap to the new 19" wheels and tires that may have to be ordered after the supercharger install on Monday; which she also doesn't know about. If you guys don't hear from me it's because she killed me. Look for a very angry tiny Viet woman in the GTA).
Went out for a beautiful, if not a little cool, cruise today and filled up with fresh 94 for tomorrows supercharger install.
Also broke my passenger wiper blade as I was cleaning my window with the car on. That sneaking rain sensing bullshit caught me sleeping and snapped the blade off. Can't seem to get it back into place.
EDIT: Nevermind, fixed it!!! Am gonna leave the courtesy wipe and rain sensing stuff off though. I'm a reasonably grown up and can turn it on myself. Kthxbye.
Not today but Friday - washed the car to get ready for a trip to the drag strip yesterday (Saturday). As I was cleaning he windshield a "glint" caught my eye coming around to the passenger side. Apparently a rock hit me at some time right on the edge of the windshield and now there is a crack snaking up that is about a foot long. Not sure when it happened because I only noticed the crack Friday, which keeps growing. It started very low on the windshield and from inside the car it was hidden from view until it started moving upwards.
Have to get the windshield replaced now. Insurance will be so happy. Already have a claim on my wife's Lincoln in process because she went over the curb leaving my office and broke the rocker panel cover on the passenger side.
And at the drag strip yesterday I had to run on my street tires - I switched from my winter wheels and tires to the summer wheels and tires on Thursday. Couldn't put the drag radials on because I had surgery the Friday before and with only a week post-surgery I wasn't able to get the drag radials down off the rack, into the car, so I could take them to the track. My buddy said he would put them on for me, but getting them into the car, and then out when I got back home was the issue. It's really hard to launch this car on street tires - lots of wheel hop and spin, and about the 1/8 mark the summer P-Zero's kept breaking loose on a shift and I had to lift to recover. I ran a full second slower than last year compared to my time on my drag radials.
Just dropped off Freyja at Blackstock Ford for the Whipple install. Spoke to the Master Tech Kyle about a few particulars (catch cans, comp open air boxes, and those 20" wheels and tires) and then ubered my ass home.
Probably be later this week like Wed or Thur before pickup.
What did I do today? Received a call from Blackstock telling me the SC was done however the recall takes between 2-4 hours so they going to start it tomorrow but who knows, tomorrow could be a nice cruise home in an 800hp beast!
Hope the weather holds up for at least tomorrow. Supposed to get rain late afternoon/early evening.
