We just got to the hotel. The ribs were out of this world. Sent the ecu stuff to seb. Hopefully can tune a little tomorrow. Plan to be back at Madwis at 9 to do some final touch ups. Undershroud, block off plate, fog light screw, test cruise control.

Very very successful day and I owe it all to Madwi and EW. The guys really know what they're doing and are insanly awesome to just be around. Always a fun time! Going to be a bit bummed when we leave tomorrow.

Wash and wax tomorrow morning.

Oil cooler line pissed me off but I am glad it worked out.

I remember the time I had a little ticking in the top end.

Turned into an engine replacement. It was a good time to restore everything at that point. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4cb7583695.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...177cc692f5.jpg

Had a red 1990 Hardbody 4x4. Regular cab with 6ft bed. 3.0 V6 with 5 speed. Installed a Detroit Locker in the rear diff, and a Quaife LSD in the front diff. Had a Jim Conners 2" lift on it. 32" MT tires. Had it for 9yrs, put over 120,000 miles on it. One day, I removed the bed liner to clean under it. All I seen was pavement. Most of the bed rusted out. :eek: Traded it in for my first Ram truck.

Mine was a 95 kingcab with Pathfinder fenders and a standard cab bed. The standard bed allowed me to push the rear tires back about 6 inches.

Mine spent more time in the woods then on the street I think. I could go places that the bigger trucks couldn't go. :rofl2:

105 on the straights. ~60 through the turns. Not high but I was comfortable with it and didn't get passed.

Howdy folks.

Back in the VQ club for the 3rd time. Picked up a 2015 Q50S yesterday. Loving being back in a rwd based car that can handle decently. 7AT isn't bad for what it is either.

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms out there. None of us would be here without you :tiphat:

How much trouble did you have? The Rev 3 RJM pedal is a lot easier to install. I've installed 5 of them. The last two were Rev 3 or Rev 3.1 and took less than half the time compared to earlier versions.

JARblue 05-13-2018 05:00 AM

Brunch date this morning. Mother's Day celebration at my sister's house later in the day - it is her first Mother's Day :tup:

Everyone have a wonderful day :hello:

I agree, I did my version 2, it was painful.. however the version 3, I was amazed how much nicer of a kit it was.. its just better made, im gonna upgrade eventually.

Looking like Camry will stay in “D” as it logged just over 40mpg w/75% interstate driving.
