Learned'd VIII: Less Bewbs, Same Nonsense

[Jesda]

If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do
I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me
When you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time

Woa, oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Woa, oh, oh
For the longest

I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right
And I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've gone this far
And it's more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time

I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself
Hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far
And it's more than I hoped for

I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time

Woa, oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Woa, oh,oh
For the longest time
Woa, oh, oh
For the longest time
Woa, oh, oh,
For the longest time
(Fade Out)

Morning Ben.
Is the slow season a-comin'?

[sx moneypit]

Mornin' Ray .
Seems like its' already here but a least i can spend some time on my car now !

[frapjap]

Do you guys ever get custom project or builds coming through the door or just repairs?

[sx moneypit]

Just repairs . But i worked at a shop about 10 years ago that worked on hot rods,race cars and did welding and fabrication.

[frapjap]

Did you ever build anything particularly wild?

[sx moneypit]

The owner of the shop did most of the builds but i did get to work on some pretty wicked cars though.

[Hijacker]

[frapjap]

What up man!? How you been?

Morning other folks.

Chris- if you pop in, get me a beer.

[King Ranzo]

SNICKERDOODLES.

Mornin' hoes!

[frapjap]

Speaking of Snickerdoodles, I had the best cookie the other day!
It was a sugar cookie with dried cranberries in it. T'was AMAZING.

[King Ranzo]

Is this thread really that dead?

[frapjap]

Errrbody is still out trick or treating.
Im stuck at home in my bathroom putting a new drive belt on my dryer. YAY DOMESTICATION!

[sx moneypit]

Mornin' Ray !
You got a dryer in your bathroom ??

[AppleBonker]

Lol ^. Some places are like that, Ben. I just hope the belt is being replaced before the morning growler...

[frapjap]

haha, more like at the same time Adam!

Why wouldn't washing machines and dryers be in the bathroom? In my parents first house, the W&D were in a small pantry closet in the kitchen.

[Dattebayo]

You got a dryer in your bathroom ??

Have you really never seen one of these?


Not everybody has a basement, broham. And if you ghave an apartment in the city, you may not even have a dryer in the place at all...

[frapjap]

I can't see your photo, Dave, but I'm guessing its a stack unit?
I actually have a double door closet with a full size washer and dryer where I currently live. Scored them from $100 because the previous owners lover didn't like the squeeling on start up. Whatever, that shiz still works!

Who here has banged with their woman on the washer or dryer? Was it awesome (maybe just for her?) or overrated?

[Dattebayo]

You are correct, sir.

Oh, that's cool. I thought all dryers squeel when they start up? Maybe I need a belt change as well? heh

I just had that discussion with my co-worker. Apparently everyone but me has done this...

I've seen those but the ones i saw were located near the kitchen.


When i lived in a highrise apartment downtown i had a small washing machine in one of the walk in closets, but like you said , no dryer.

[sx moneypit]

Good morning folks !

Pretty dead in here this weekend.

[frapjap]

Isn't the thread usually dead on the weekend?
My new BB is actually able to support the Nico forum, so I may actually start posting on the go.
It also has piss poor battery life, so go figure.

Ben!
I did some more work on the Miata!
I removed the turbo manifold nuts and added locking washers, changed the spark plugs to a step colder & regapped them, and reset the wastegate (wasn't necessary, but wanted to check to be sure it was closed!) and what a HUGE difference!

The engine is damned near silent now (leak at the head/manifold sealed up!), and ZERO breaking up or power interruption through out the ENTIRE power band. I retuned the Megasquirt and raised the boost to 7-8lbs and this b**** absolutly flies! The power comes on solid at 3,200rpm (used to come in around 4k) and holds until red line (though definitely drops off slightly around 6,700, which isnt a huge deal since I shift just before 7g's anyway). The only thing I miss is that with the leak, boost didn't hit until the flow through the manifold was linear enough so when the boost came in, it came in violently. Now its really smooth and less violent. I know its faster now, but it just doesn't feel as fast. I did race another '11 WRX and while he had me off the line, I waltzed past him; much to his dismay.

Last, my #4 cylinder plug was read as pretty damned lean. Any idea why? Could it be because its the last cylinder to receive fuel from the rail? Or would it be the first? Could that lead to knock? I have no idea...

[sx moneypit]

Mornin' Ray.Glad to hear the exhaust leak was a simple fix!

Are you running stock injectors or did you install some larger ones?

[frapjap]

Larger, stock injectors. They're plug and play from an '02.

[sx moneypit]

I did a little research and found that those injectors need about 60 lbs of fuel pressure. Do you have a wide band 02 so you can check your AFR?

[frapjap]

I do!
AFR is pretty well tuned for 12-13 under load and depending on which gear I'm cruising in, is appropiate, too.
On rare occasion it will have a slightly fluctuating idle from 1000-1200rpm (normally rock solid at 1200rmp) and while it does this, AFR will be really lean, like 16.1-17 lean. I usually correct this by tapping the gas or adding gas until it richens up and idles correctly.

[sx moneypit]

Are your injectors new ? It is possible that your #4 injector has a problem.

[frapjap]

No, they're not new. I got them from James when he upgraded to something much larger. I may need to look for another one. In the mean time I'll have to monitor the plug and see if the issue persists.

Hows the wife? Is she feeling a bit better?

[sx moneypit]

No, they're not new. I got them from James when he upgraded to something much larger. I may need to look for another one. In the mean time I'll have to monitor the plug and see if the issue persists.

Good morning Ray !
Installing the colder plugs might take care of that issue.

My wife might feel good for a couple of days and then have some bad days.
The medication she is on is pretty tough on her, but she has been handling it pretty well.
She is going to have an MRI done (the last i hope)on her head and neck today.
