I swapped out the driver side plugs to 1-range colder NGK's last night, prepped the passenger side to finish today. It started out as just checking my oil level, then checked the front driver side plug, then wanted to see how much room I had in the back two plug wells, then I wanted to just see how tough to remove the wire harness holders on the COP bolts. All easy so I just removed the STB and pulled the driver side. Easiest if you pull the oil dip stick and unplug the vacuum port right by the dipstick. The back well took a few short extensions, swivel, and magnet. Pass side won't be too bad, just loosen the heater hose bracket and access is pretty easy.
Starting to warm up a bit and will swap back to E50 tune soon. Currently running ZFG 93 with 25-30% ethanol. She screams on acceleration but just doesn't have the top end power that E50 provides.
On another note....FERRARI IS BACK!!!! Never thought I'd be "disappointed" with a P2 from Carlos Sainz. On the other hand Charles is driving on another level to everyone else.

There's a small switch on the tip of the wiper stalk that has 3 positions: off, one click up is delay wipe, second click normal speed rear wiper. Also if you push the stalk away from you it washes the rear glass and camera lens. Pulling forward washes your windshield and front camera lens. (if equipped!)

After re-reading the paperwork from the local Ford dealer yesterday, (that dropped AutoNation in the shit) I discovered the previous owner paid for maintenance services in advance.. & there are still three remaining.
I'm a bit deaf & the gal at the local dealer said something I didn't quite hear yesterday, but I did hear "So you can take advantage of those". I guess that's what she was talking about. & there's still about 18 months to run on that deal.
So that's (possibly) a bonus... I just have to find out what exactly they cover. Anyone want to clue me in? I assume it covers oil/filters... However, it does say something about "owner of vehicle must match owner name on oasis for coverage to apply"... but that's before the part about the three remaining services.
It also says 10k intervals (currently have about 6800 miles)
We have the 8 yeark100k Premium Care deal
Previous owner paid for "36/36k Premium Maint (M & W)

It absolutely pissed down here today. I am now all up to speed with front AND rear wiper controls/speeds etc..
However, I live in the Mojave Desert & will most likely forget by the next time it rains....
In other news: I still retain my British rain driving skills & had no problem driving a bit faster than everyone else. In fact I could have gone faster. Also: The rain washed all the pollen off the ST & it's now considerably cleaner than it was yesterday.

I lived out in Lake L.A. for 10 years as a kid. Still have family out in Palmdale, Lancaster and Rosemond. Only thing I miss from out there is the early mornings in the desert, camping and riding dirt bikes.
I swapped out my chrome lugs for Black Gorilla lugs today. It makes no sense that they come with chrome lugs...

It's gone downhill. Costco was robbed twice at the weekend & the store where I buy lottery tickets got hit by three idiots who stole $1000 worth of cigarettes yesterday. This puts them $50 over the "won't do anythng about it" limit set by Benito Newsolini.
However, the same three idiots showed up at another store owned by the same folks today.. wearing the exact same clothes & without masks to case the joint. Staff not only got them on video & took photos, but they also got their vehicle & plate # etc.
Turns out the same crew have hit various stores & gas stations all over town, but no one got pics of them without masks until this morning.
Also: The local cops still can't catch 16yo kids on KX500's in the desert

I've done nothing significant in a couple weeks and it's killing me. Having some significant back issues to the point I either can't move or I'm doped up and can't do anything. Keep staring at the boxes and boxes of money waiting to be installed and its KILLING me! Hopefully I'm back in the game in a week or so. If my CF splitter would show up I could at least cuddle with it for a few days.
Anybody know if you can see the Whipple IC through the grill or not?
