"Built Dam Strong!"

29 October 2013

*sighs* Adding insult to injury. That's what today was full of.

So, I get back to the house and pull out the spare alternator that I found yesterday . . . and it is locked up solid. DOH!

Then after that annoyance, I went to replace my IAT sensor, as it is reading about -40*F under ambient. I pull out the Crapsman 1/4" ratchet I've had for years and haven't used in likely 5 years and . . . it is broken. The teeth are shot. *sighs*

So, I got precisely nothing done this evening. Yay.

I am going to take the "orignal" alternator to the best rebuild shop I know and see if they can replace the bearings on the cheap (it still charges super well) or if I have to buy a new one. Either way, this is going to get solved and life will go on.

Testing

Testing mobile blogging. Nothing to see here. Move along.

I found my old CRX log book.

Oh holy crap. This is embarassing, but hey, it's history so I'll share

My very short drag strip log.

Yeah, I've only been down the strip 7 times. *shrugs* It hasn't ever been my priority. I'll be goaded into changing that next year, I'm sure. I do want to get some new baselines before I reinstall the turbo, but, I don't know if I can wait until next year to do that. I really miss the extra power to piss off people who think they can get in front of me when they really shouldn't be trying to do that.

Anyway, comment if you like.
