Seen that looks like what happened to beetle juices head in the end of the movie. Just shrunken down

Interesting choice of analogy

 

I'd guess the size comparison is accurate. Hope it looks a little more different

Been a long time since I've updated this thread.  I finally changed out the wheels on the Chevelle and bought new(wider) tires for it.  I also did a 2 stage paint correction on it.  Before and after p

Hope the tail lights on the redesigned camaro arent as angular as they look, the spies shots make them look like they were stolen of the mitsubishi lancer/evo

I broke her :(

 

This exhaust is 40 years old, so I'm not surprised. The rubber hangers were dryrotted but apparently recently they broke, so.. backing it in, had to get a running start cos of this lip and an open diff.. it hooked the U bolts.. tore it right up. :(

 

Had to cut it off with a sawzall. She's open pipe now on this side. :lol: I'll have to trailer it to a shop in the near future I guess.

But he also loves the top end power of the 5.0

Yes, but that is part of my weekly tv. I have never been impressed with the suspension of either car, but i have not driven a 1LE or ZL1 nor have i driven an SVT or performance pack mustang.

I was disappointed by the video because I like the looks of the new Stang, and now it means GM could rest easy on the 5th gen. GM needs to be pushed hard to improve. They have a long history of getting lazy.

Ryan, your Camaro posts are much more interesting since you got the to the page in the manual that shows how to shift out of park!

:lol:

 

J/K, looks good!

 

 

Been almost 2 weeks since I've had a chance to get mine out. Had a ton of rain lately.

Got it out today with the twins and wife. Caused some whiplash on passersby. Some days everyone has to look. :lol:

 

I was waiting on something in a store, my wife took the boys out to put in the car herself. She got some strange looks, late 20s mom loading 2 year olds through a roll cage in a old muscle car with 6" cowl hood. :lol:

 

 

It did perfect. One 7 mile trip, one 5 mile, and a one mile. I've learned the quirks!

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      By jaszr2 · Posted

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
