I am not fingering the hole for 30 seconds before I stick the nozzle in and pump. Nope.

When I think of Australian road trips, I think of this . . .

What else floats? A duck. Exactly. So, logically . . . If . . . she . . . weighs the same as a duck . . . she's made of wood! Therefore? A witch! A witch! We shall use my larger scales.

Ok, I think I got it now. This is to let the ECU operate when switching over to a non-magneride coilover system.

1. The ECU can guess based on AFR etc and add fuel accordingly (the 'old' way, called a flex tune), or 2. the flex fuel logic can be enabled in the ECU. Or, 3. you can run an e85 specific tune that basically just adds way more timing and fuel. In that case the ECU doesn't really know and it...

Is Magneride that bad for the track?

Me, either.

I thought DAB+ was just digital radio broadcasting. Like FM and AM radio stations here in the US. I do not know much about it. Does it have the same selection as Sirius? For example, I can listen to news stations or I can listen to First Wave, all late 70s early 80s new wave and punk rock...

I had no idea Sirius did not put any satellites over Europe. I guess they do not think the market would support it over there. I know many European countries are poorer than the US, but I remember music being a big thing to Europeans when I lived there, so this is something a percentage of...

It is all one tank, but there is a big hump in the middle for the driveshaft. The fuel pump has a small line that goes over to the other side and sucks fuel over the hump and onto the side with the fuel pump. Ford's OEM pump is not strong enough to suck fuel against centrifugal force when...

They passed a law here in Georgia in 2014 that says you are violating the law if you know or should know that somebody is trying to overtake you and remain in the left lane and not immediately move to the right. There is an exception for when traffic does not allow, as it would be kind of silly...

Is this your car's before and after dyno or just a generic bit of advertising by PBD for their tune?

The tune is the blue line. It is higher everywhere, not just at higher rpms. It certainly does not have a narrower power band. Are you looking at the same chart? The peaks did move ever so slightly higher, but the the line is higher at the same rpm as the stock rpm peak power and torque...

My state has signs that say things like Slower traffic keep right. Of course, everybody thinks "I am not slower," so they all stay left.

You also have highway signs that say things like, Get out of the left lane. Don't hold up Texas. I thought it was great.

I am in Georgia. The state legislature restricted the use of speed detection devices to writing tickets for only more than 10 over. That applies to city and county, but not State Patrol, but it is just sort of customary here that 15 over is the point at which they will pull you over. You may...

I was waiting for somebody to find the real culprit.

Well, in a way, that is what I do by using the cruise control. I have a very hard time driving at a reasonable speed just using the "this speed feels right and safe" internal speed meter. My internal speed meter is set way higher than everybody else, apparently, and far too high for my...

The Pirelli Trofeo RS is rated for 186 mph, so why limit the Dark Horse to 168 mph?

🤣 That would drive me bonkers. I normally set it for 13-14 over the speed limit, which keeps one from getting tickets around here.
