Guys..I almost went empty on my tank and the gas station has only 87, is it gonna kill having it in there for only not even a full tank? I only put $20

Won’t hurt it. The car is designed to adjust air/fuel/timing to avoid knock.

Uh. Wonder where this goes...

Nevermind. Stock end link.

She drives. Brakes feel funny. They're bled and they grab but there's a little play at the top of the pedal stroke, like a half inch of play in the linkage. Otherwise, under normal and hard braking, it's fine.

Did a round of the bedding process. Lol. My buddy was like I've never bedded brakes this aggressively. I told him the instructions were 60-10 at threshold, repeat. Man they stink.

I was reading the bedding directions for the kit u have. Seems a little rough.

All cleaned up.

...windows get darkened later this week. Then the car is done for a while on the mods list.

Truck looks great @FooBird , I would even say skip the lift on it.

Thanks dude. But, it needs something up front because the tires rub. Back springs are flattened too because overloading.

Might as well upgrade then, lol.

Got my new windshield banner up. Just a lil touch to dress it up...

Learned a lesson about running e85. Plan ur trips and gas stations that carry ethanol a little better. Thank goodness for AAA.

 

[FooBird]

Lol. Yeah, you lose at least 30% of your endurance. Lolol

 

[ron v]

Eh. At least I know the range from a full tank to dead empty. It’s theses kinda of small wins that get me through the day sometimes. Haha.

 

[bauer311]

How far can you get?

 

[ron v]

Little over 209 miles but I was doing some very spirited driving today. Veryy.
