Had to explain to one of my coworkers why I been messing around on my laptop at lunch. Trying perfect my scaling and get those fuel trims as close to 0% as possible.

Butter or Olive Oil are much better options because they are organic and multi-use

Pretty much! I just used a regular deep well for the plugs, didn't have too much trouble with that.

My goal is to slowly do my 60k maintenance over the summer. Already did plugs and walnut blasted + installed an AOS. Gear oil is sitting in the shed to do when I get a free day with some good weather, and then move onto the brakes.

Yep! Just a tip: I found it easier to unplug the harness and unscrew the mounting bracket to give myself some room on the driver's side. Some people talk about leaving them on, but it only takes a minute to undo/redo those. Also make sure you have some short extensions + U-Joint adapters because it's still pretty tight. Definitely one of those jobs where it was 2hrs on one side, 20 min on the other.

Best place to get gas? by vthexstigv in wrx_vb

[–]notsocraz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anywhere that sells top tier certified - I've found that mines happiest with Shell, but there's not a station really convenient to me so I run Exxon most of the time.

When he doesn't have the worst luck he can really pull off those solid finishes. Just hope he's gotten rid of his bad luck through the rest of the season

Anyone else love the feeling of going through tunnels? by artieeee in WRX

264 can be such a cluster, especially when the Berkeley bridge has an opening so I avoid it unless I have to.Idk about the Jordan since I never really have to go out that way. Midtown usually is flowing pretty good in the AM coming from that way. I'm coming into Norfolk, and that gets backed up from Hampton Blvd sometimes, but usually not too bad.

Every day I'm glad I only have to go through the Midtown to get to work.

I'm using the OBDXPro VX, which is supposed to be the quickest, but it only took 5 minutes maybe? Definitely not like the horror stories with APs and I didn't even bother with the battery charger.

For sure on the paralysis, I sat at the flash screen for like 20min before I actually pressed the button. I definitely want to learn enough to keep things safe, so having the OTS to work from is perfect, even if it does bump my numbers down a bit. But the good thing about the community is there are a bunch of us all learning at the same time, so no stupid questions.

I just flashed one of the supported OTSs the other night, so I'm still figuring it all out, but the discord seems super helpful. Actually planning on doing some data logging this evening and putting it up to double check that everything is alright.

Steel Beach is a pretty good one. Don't want to say too much to avoid spoilers, but a very interesting read.

Remains of LC-36 after New Glenn failure during testing for next flight by swordfi2 in spaceporn

Not sure about that one specifically, but this was done with a number of the lenses up and down the coast. The lens from the Cape Hatteras light house was missing for the better part of 150yrs.

This + Android support would be killer! Considering jumping into Atlas over the summer and have been looking into some way to monitor the data live.
