Topic: Tuna's Cookie monster (SOLD)

In my opinion the Elise is a better looking car,  and for the price delta between models,  the Elise can be made easily as fast.

Get out.

[jackal]

Get out.

Huh? Personal aesthetic preferences aside,  The delta between an Exige and Elise in today's market is still pretty high. Pump that price delta into an Elise and you have Exige performance... possibly better. The added bonus is you can see out the rear window.

Top down, year round.

167700 miles.

Whelp, PCV, elbow, and PCV IM hose installed in the dark parking lot of my condo. I have to say, that was yet another untcay of a job. Thanks Ford. The rubber elbow had bonded and perished onto the block mounted metal nipple so that was eventually torn off in multiple small chunks. The remaining, well bonded, chunks were subsequently scraped off with the tip of a screwdriver because that's all I had handy because my garage and toolbox are 1000 miles North of me. The PCV was in decent shape, but it's obvious that someone had replaced it recently. Could have been me, not sure... Stupid alcohol affecting my memory. The elbow was cracked at the PCV. The PCV IM hose had split and was sucking air under vacuum. That was surprisingly easy to change after I pulled the airbox out. Also replaced the grommet between the PCV valve and the crankcase. Nearly lost chunks of that into the bowels of the engine because it had perished into bakelite.

Now I need to put 50 miles on it and re-log for my e-tuner. Might head down to the local small town and do some laps around one of the blocks to test out my Garmin GPS watch. I bought an app for motorsports and it should autolap me within 15m of my datum. Oh, and I need to get that uckfaying GoPro mounted. Looks like it's going to be windshield.

WGS 84 or NAD83?

WGS 84 or NAD83?

He's in America, they're probably still on 27.

uckfayin' nerds

Also I will find upload a video of Dan's Forester PCV hose where it was basically hardened into plastic. He hit it with a small mallet and it vaporized.

Don't know about datum, but pretty sure they're on some arcane locating ullbayitshay like furlongs nw from Detroit.

Track day went well, considering it bucketed rain most of the time.

Things I learned:
- I hate my tires and will be going back to RE-71R's as soon as these are toast. BFG's are not the right wet track tires for Tuna.
- Those G-LOC brake pads, though. At T14 I could out-brake everyone in my sessions.
- I downshift waaayy too early at T1
- the aged (170000 mile) brake calipers are dragging and those G-LOCS were so obnoxious on the street I had to swap them out. New calipers are coming.
- the assay end of the car is ridiculously light and it took two sessions of fiddling to get my Koni settings somewhere decent for a track outing. A full tank of gas helped make the car more drive-able in the wet. I still had two spins on Day 1.
- my Motorsports app on my watch is only accurate to 15m at 60Hz. At that frequency it's a 44m gap at 100mph on the start/finish line. Next time I should hit the lap timer on a hairpin or something.
- my GoPro doesn't hold its charge well
- my battery powered air pressure gauge is going in the bin
- dust cap o-rings will remove the air out of your tire if they fold up onto the schrader valve. Leave the caps off.
- Rockauto half shafts don't like track days. My 16000 km new drive shaft is toast and a new one is on its way.
- pit shelters are a godsend, so is a heated drivers meeting room. Hot soup.
- I need an M3 or a corvette for track days

We were bypassing the cyclone at T5:






Spin #2 (automatic black flag/strike even if you stayed four wheels on):
"Strike two, right? Yeah, uckfay, thank you sir"

[RedBimmer93]

Pit canopy's FTW!
Cold tires FTL!

Looks like a fun track! Seems like a great experience!

[Asstuna]

Hottest day of the year here in the East Bay area yesterday. Radiator decided to take a spring break.

69USD RockAuto replacement with 7USD shipping. 'Murica, uckfay yeah.

[Asstuna]

Anyone want an 02 SVT?
Comes with a 125k KM spare motor.

Replaced pretty much everything except the seats.

Too semen crusted to get the bolts out?

Jesus Christ, you anal tear. Get out of my uckfaying thread.

[jellynuts]

Hey, you should call your new car Cookie 3.11, because it's still gonna be as slow as a 386. 

[Asstuna]

Let me Google that you obscure itshay

Dafak?  Was Australia not introduced to computers in the 90's? 

[jellynuts]

Check it out.  Here's Cagare's old desktop, and him trying to delete his stash of Luna porn. 



Also, two cursors.  L33t hax. 

Edit.  Hmm, on second thought, that looks too good to be Win 3.11. 

But still,

[Asstuna]

You buy!!
