I backed it out of the garage again, did the "stop the snow, get warmer" dance and then pulled it back in the garage -happy spring :nonod:

75 and sunny here!

I've been thinking in the back of my mind about getting another toy, as a tiger can't change its stripes, but now I'm set on saving up money so I can quit sooner, and get a degree in......

Spent the weekend tearing around Tail of the Dragon and surrounding areas with a buddy in our LS3 swapped toys. Great way to spend the gas money. Mine is the 96 Vette which put down 420 rwhp and 421 rwtq during its tuning session a couple of weeks ago. A smidge more than the 280 it was putting down with the tired ole LT-4.

Had mine out today

 

Damn surface rust from rotors

I finished coating the insides of the rims

Put on another rear spoiler. Last one had issues

Doesn't need it wth the Adams ceramic coating :) it was just a little surface rust from the rotors

So? It's a hardened coat, right? So is clear coat. If it's hardened, can't it scratch? If not, is it hardened?

It was just a light dust. It didn't scratch

I'm having some fun.

 

 

They really did much better with the festival cars over the actual 50th.

This years cars are nice. The blue strip on the hood has a hologram looking 101 logo its neat

I found a picture from back when I was certifiable.

 

Intrigue, Malibu, and Corvette Convertible. Then I thought about why I got rid of them

 

Intrigue ShortStar drank oil like a fish drinks water at the end(160k miles, at 150k it didn't use any), the Malibu leaked coolant, and later gas because the regulator bent when fixing the first, and the Corvette looked like Niagara falls inside when it rained, and that was with new weatherstripping! I spent hours scrubbing the old glue clean, I was so ticked when the new stuff made no improvement.

    • 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.      
    • 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?   
    • 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
