What have you done to your vehicle lately?

Yeah... who am I kidding they don't get in. Do you think if I leave a brisket on the dash I can bait them?

Helped a buddy of mine install an intake on his Lotus.

I traded my pick up for a new one. Poor thing only had 49,000 miles but has a transmission leak, 4 trips to the dealer, they can't fix it, can't even find it this time. What you gonna do? Traded it in on a different brand. I did tell them why so didn't get much for it.

Pistol Pete,

Wishing I had known that you were getting rid of a low-mileage PU "for cheap". = We don't buy new vehicles for the farm & 2 PU are now "worn out".
(Sounds like a rebuilt AT would fix the problem.)

yours, satx

It's not still under warranty? I bet an independent mechanic would have found the leak and fixed it.

They're not going to fix it either. If it doesn't sell on their lot in a couple weeks, they'll just send it to auction.

Good excuse to get a new truck either way... Congrats

Replaced the air intake hose and some vacuum lines. 95 Sonoma.

I put a gizmo on my pedal to make it go vroom quicker.

Did it work. And will it work on the Mazda version of the fiata

Did you watch the video?
Yeah, it definitely lets you adjust your pedal's sensitivity. It's a Mazda pedal so it'll probably work. Check with Seletron, tho.

Filled up with gas.

I saw the first two minutes lmao. I’m going to leave my car stock for the most part, was just curious how it is. I read the description where he (wait... it’s you) mentioned it helps a lot with multi air which i think is a fiata thing so I figured it may be fiata specific lol

Reminds me of when I had my 01 mustang GT. The throttle cable had some slack to it and the gas pedal sat pretty far back. I used a cut up straw and hose clamped it to eliminate the slack and bring the gas pedal up closer to me. First time I drove it after removing the slack, the throttle felt light years more responsive even though the only thing I changed was the position of the pedal. Eventually after a few years it stressed out my throttle cable and it snapped one day when I kicked the pedal to the floor a bit too hard lol.

Spent the afternoon at Toyota dealer getting wife’s 4runner updated on it’s recalls.
Toyota had a huge recall on airbags and fuel pumps.
It is a 100 mile round trip, so my Friday got shot in the ass.

 

[cvgunman]

Had to rotate the tires on truck today. Usually go to Sam's, but they shut down the tire shop for Chinese flu. It's too f-ing hot out there!

It’s a double mo-fo outside

Yeah, with most of the throttle by wire applications the pedal modifiers are sort of analogous to putting a different throttle cable cam on. What's nice about units like the Seletron one is you can dial it in to anywhere you want.

The Multiair systems on the FIATs are unique in that the physical throttle isn't actually used much to control the amount of air going into the engine; it's mostly done by the variable valve lift. If you get the profile right on a pedal modifier, it'll get you to the point where the throttle valve is wide open very quickly, and then give you more granular control over the throttling via the multiair.

Seriously tho, send an email to Seletron. They'll be able to tell you how it would effect your Mazda.

 

[mitchntx]

2013 SIerra 4x4 CC
6.2L - 6 speed trans
~100k MILES

Replaced for peace of mind ...
belts
hoses and coolant
tensioner
idler
plugs
wires
air filter


Considered replacing the water pump while that far in.
But there was no play in the shaft, no signs of weeping and it spun without noise or resistance.
Hope I don't regret that decision.

 

[txgirliegirl]

washed it!!

nah, just kidding

Ah I see, that makes sense. I’ll look into what other people who’ve used it on an ND have to say. Haven’t dived too deep into everything available in the aftermarket as I tend to leave things stock nowadays, but may start tinkering eventually.
