Passing on the highway is fun in the new Jeep. Almost 300 lbs-ft of torque from 1600 to 2400 rpm

The bodywork on the Miata should be ready by the end of the week. Then I have to sandblast surface rust, do all the seam welds people recommend to do and get it painted

I work like that when I have at least parts of a working system and cruise control.

I wish I was disciplined enough to drive 60 for a tank of gas. Blah, I was on the highway going barely faster than trucks. That meant occasional "sprints" to 70-80 for passing

New fuel consumption record in the Jeep, 29 MPG overall for the entire trip, with A/C on most of the time. I did keep the speed at 60 mph, enough to go barely faster than trucks. Everybody else was doing 75+.

Road trip was fun, Auschwitz was not shocking there since it did not sink in fast enough in the 4 hours of the tour. But recalling everything afterwards is chilling. Krakow, Prague, Bratislava and Vienna on the other hand are very nice cities. Prague was full of tourists, Bratislava and Krakow are kind of small but seem much more relaxed and Vienna is not as busy as Prague and bigger. Apart from 2 rainy and cold days in Prague, the weather was perfect all around.

damnit

After I changed the fluid in my transmission the problems caused by some shift overlap sleeves became worse. Flare on the 3-4 upshift when hot and seems like it catches on the 4-5 shift. $60 worth of valves fixes it.

Hah, I saw a brand spanking new S-class with horrible orange peel.

This is on my to-do list as well. https://github.com/theksmith/CarBusInterface That's the app I'm using. i was fucking around with that actually. i need some dumbed down instructions before id spend more time with it. serious lack of motivation to work on a car i drive <100mi a week.

Dafuq man, I was traveling, give me a break

I'm going again in August

Thanks J ! She reminds me of my old dog We adopted her about 2 weeks after my old dog died.

This was taken by the people who fostered her:

After over 6 months the dog and I are becoming friends. Sure took a while for her to get comfortable.

I'm so anxious to get off work and go see the progress on the Miata At least the shop is 2 minutes away from my house. Don't know why I bothered to look elsewhere for a bodywork guy

Neal, I envy you. I go 3-4 days with 6 hours of sleep every night and after that I crash.

Just like sex on a canoe

CAN, CAN everywhere. I fucking hate it. The heated seat buttons are CAN. Oh, let's add 3 elements and make it 4 times more complex so that now a computer can read it and turn on the heated seats.

GM it is one wire.As for the Joyconn, I have one just happens to be the older non-Can bus version. Just wanted to check to see if I could skip the SWI which is why I wanted to check. Yup, same as Jeep. Single wire, J1850 VPW protocol. Other wire is ground but that's a given.

I knew there was something wrong with you, I just didnt know you would end up coming out of the closet on an audio forum.Says the guy that wants to know the safest psi for a blow up sheep I bet you could suck a golf ball through a garden hose. reference

Here you go, had this tab open since I debugged my cheap china clone. http://www.onboarddiagnostics.com/page03.htm

Hello ! Now, since I was lazy and decided to use the car's wiring to power speakers, I struck gold when I found a plug which fits the car's wiring plug in my wire stash. All I need now is to reconfigure 2 wires in the car's plug so that I have switched 12v and ground on that single plug. Blue and Orange wires are Rear Right wires in the car's plug. They will get reconfigured to switched 12v and ground

This is on my to-do list as well. https://github.com/theksmith/CarBusInterface That's the app I'm using.

Had the same feeling about 2 weeks ago, when I changed the rear diff fluid and the transfer case fluid (stupid PO used ATF in the transfer case). But after I get back from the road-trip I have to change the engine oil. Out of sheer curiosity I will probably take the pan off to look around.
