Re: 2010 GMC Acadia - Mostmint #48

The next day after the battery was charged I reconnected the fuel pressure gauge and tried it again. Fortunately it started right up and idled. Fuel pressure over 40 psi. I moved it up and down the driveway and let it run for 20 minutes. There is some ticking under the hood. While the check engine ...

Tire Changing Machine

History of the machine

Pretty sure I got this pneumatic tire machine from BP in late 2018/early 2019. Prior to this machine I had a manual tire machine that I got from my grandparents place back in 2003. BP got it from Carlisle swap meet, and at some point decided he didn’t need it taking up ...

2010 GMC Acadia - Mostmint #48

I’ve been chatting with Kurt a bit about what he could use as a utility vehicle for his business. He seemed interested in the Equinox. I was a little concerned it would be underpowered. Also I was enjoying not having any other projects, so all of this chat was about something to happen in the fall ...

Re: 2017 Dodge Challenger SXT - Mostmint #45

Made some repairs on the passenger door. There is a gap between the window and the seal which I addressed by removing the outer seal and adjusting the metal a bit. After that I removed the interior door panel to reinstall the the sound deadener/water barrier I forgot to put in when I was ...

Re: 2008 Colorado Z71

Time for some maintenance

1) Routine oil change. Only reason I bring it up here is there is quite a bit of carbon showing up in the oil filter. I noticed it last time also and decided it was time for full synthetic in the truck. Don't really know if this is more or less than prior change, bit it's ...

Re: 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport

I just noticed this is a 2026. Seems quite early in 2025 to be making next year's model. Any idea why Honda is doing this?

Re: 2014 Cadillac ATS Premium 3.6 AWD - Mostmint #47

Yes I figured out how to reset the mileage and avg speed trackers through the options on the dash display. I have not had a chance to drive it since so we'll see how it goes.

Spring maintenance items:
* I installed a new set of AC Delco plugs.
* Swapped out the snow tires for the Firewhawk Indy ...

Re: 2017 Dodge Challenger SXT - Mostmint #45

I made some cosmetic changes. Most years of Dodge Challenger have the Dodge badging on the back and the Challenger badging in the grill. In 1971 it had the reverse. The 70's versions had Challenger badging on the front fenders as well, sometimes Dodge badge on the hood, sometimes Dodge badge on the ...

Looks good with a little mud on it. Third one today that turned out to be legit.

XSLR Season 9 Race 6 Bark River Race Report

Bark River is a fun track but its quite technical. After extensive practice I' still giving up well over a second a lap to the leaders. Still I qualified P5 of 12. I finished 3rd in the heat race which meant I had to go to consolation race to figure out ...

Re: 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport

Nice upgrade. Did you consider which color vehicles the bison are more or less likely to lick?

If this was April Fools Day a guy might wonder if this really happened.

XSLR Season 9 Race 5 Wild West Race Report

Wild West was built into the hillsides near Sparks, Nevada. Sadly it closed in 2020, though it live on in the digital universe!

This is the second time I've raced at this track with this league. I put in some practice, and I like this track, which ...

Re: online videos of whatever

One of the most bizarre rounds of drag racing I've seen - and it was in the Pro Stock final. The winner only made it about 100' down the track.

CCiS 2025 Season Race 2 Daytona race report

For this race the league debuted the BMW M2. This car has a decent amount of power, but the brakes are not equivalently updated, leading to longer braking distances. Furthermore, it does not turn that well just by turning the steering wheel. To make it ...

Re: 2017 Dodge Challenger SXT - Mostmint #45

Had a little time last week so I started looking into the rear sway bar. I jacked up the car and disconnected the left side from the knuckle. With both rear wheels at maximum suspension travel the bolt had almost no tension on it and the bolt hole in the stabilizer link basically lined up with the ...
