Yes indeed. That was just the first run of the day and I was still taking it easy. Right now I'm uploading run two and making run three. I just wish I still had the footage from the day before, those were the great runs. There were a lot less people and we practically had the whole Dragon to ourselves.- Random Thoughts Thread

Apartment's flooded thanks to Roto-Rooter. My water bill is going to be insane and I've been staying in a hotel. Not happy, but I'll be reimbursed so it'll all be fine in the end. At least I'm getting a new carpet out of the ordeal.- Any tuners here? Looking for AFR advice.
Nothing beats a true dyno tune though...- Random Thoughts Thread
Mercedes, as in the late 80's 300 E. Looks like a straight-six to me.- Random Thoughts Thread
300E?- Any tuners here? Looking for AFR advice.
In the days of simpler MPFI systems I'd just say screw it and MegaSquirt it but you'd never be able to communicate with the transmission, ECU's or other "smart" devices in your car. Fun Fact: A new Volvo truck has on average seventeen different computers. One of these is the windshield wiper module, which also controls the exterior lights. Fun right? the KW's I work on are much simpler, with at least eight computers but no more than twelve for KW's made from 2010+ (the hardest part about it is knowing the CAN systems that the computers use to talk to each other (BTW, trucks have more complicated CAN systems than cars)).- Any tuners here?

Is it the factory table or an aftermarket one?- MT Compares Murano, Santa Fe, and Edge
Just would like to point out that the Edge was friggin QUICK. Seriosuly. A 4400 LB CUV shouldn't be going that quick...- Any tuners here? Looking for AFR advice.
11's are definitely low. Crank that sucker down to 12.4 at WOT and feel the power. I'd still keep the cruising AFR where it's at though. You don't want to fry your cats, as raising the AFR too much is going to heat up your EGT's quick.- Random Thoughts Thread

There's a new Nexus 5 coming though Don't know if I want to go LG again, plus I want the bigger screen.- Random Thoughts Thread
RIP Jack, best dog I ever had. You were the dog I grew up with. You've been my best friend since I was five, and you'll always be remembered as the most affectionate dog I've ever met. Over sixteen years was more than I could ever ask from you. .- Phones

You're kidding... They can't fit a 255/65R17? Does it rub or something?- Random Thoughts Thread
So I saw that girl again last night... She left around an hour I got there. Then as I drank more I started to hit on her best friend. HeHe whooops.- Random Thoughts Thread
My Grandpa just bought the Nikon P900. Holy f@#king $h! that thing is sweet. 83X optical zoom. You can read a licence plate from a quarter mile away...- Low Cab Forward Truck Market gets New Old Player
They don't have any heavy-duty vehicles. Sterling used to be the only brand that offered everything from a pickup truck to a class 8 vehicle. Well, now they're dead. Sterling is dead? I thought their pickups were just rebadged Rams anyway Sterling has been dead. Their pickups were just rebadged Rams and their heavy duty trucks were mostly compiled of spare Ford parts. They were the cheapest of the cheap, and it showed. Diamler cut them off a few years ago. - Random Thoughts Thread
