What did you do to your ride today

Whats the issue? How do you know its not spraying.
I think the pump went out. I HOPE the pump went out because tracking down wiring issues can be a pain. I know it's not spraying because while monitoring BATs during a WOT it's very clear to see, especially when I let off and don't see the BATs plummet.

Also, the system has started eating fuses like popcorn. But they don't blow immediately (indicating a short), so I think current is building up at the pump, yet it never starts and the fuse ends up blowing. I need to pull the bumper and hotwire the pump to test it.
 
slowly chipping away at the odds and ends that need to get done before I can get the car started up and tuned. Threw the RPF1's back on. Also put on the new powdercoated stuff. Got the Valve cover, intake cam cap, Fuel hard line, and CDFP part of the fuel pump done in illusion blue. Now I'm just hooking up hoses and boost lines to get everything finished. I think it should start this week. I'm welding up the downpipe tonight. Also got the 6-point harness set up the way I like it.
PICTARS!

Didn't do anything TO the car today, but definitely FOR it...now my Speed can be a trailer queen enroute to being abused at places such as The Dragon, track, etc.

All tucked away at home...the driveway is starting to get cramped. Driveway addition happening ASAP.

Put my summer rubber on today, one was down to 7psi, looks like a got a leak ( had a slow one when I took them off). It's holding pressure still-ish I'll get it fixed tomorrow
 
Washed the car, now that the summers are on, gonna need another wash before I start detailing. Also re gapped my plugs, have ~20k km on them. I believe they still have life left in them

Toss 'em. I never go more than 10,000 miles.

After weeks of messing with the new coilovers, fitament is on key. Pain in the ass to get the 245's to fit.

Yeah, I'm super excited for the mounts. I'm coming off of the JBR 80/88 trilogy so I'm hoping for the same level of performance with less vibes.

I plan on using the middle setting as well. I like a neutral feeling turn in and I think full stiff is just a touch too much oversteer based on friend's cars that I've driven. I'm confident the middle setting will be way better than stock if nothing else, which works well enough for me. It'll be nice comparing the stock rear sway with the JBR this year on the Dragon.
I just made this exact switch. Biggest difference I noticed immediately was how much the idle vibes calmed down with the damond mounts. Car just feels better all around.

Yeah it's about time I think, I seem to be getting some random knock while cruising, up to 0.63 sometimes when shifting, yesterday it was happening just with cruise on, mostly when shifting, I think most of it was with throttle changes mainly on hills. Did get a 2 ish when ffs. Not sure what I've been doing knock wise over the winter as I didn't do much driving with my AP over it

Same thing is happening to me after a winter in the garage. Just waiting for the new plugs to get here.

also on winter gas still, hopefully I get non winter stuff at the pumps soon, I currently have denso in, I may try NGK as denso seem to be a bitch to get around here

My only option is to order them. Nobody carrys them around here. I have better luck with the ngk. I have used the denso, but ngk has always outlasted the densos.

You're not the first person to say that

Agreed, they are definitely much better. I plan on writing up a full review after a few more miles on them. So far I am very happy I made the switch though.

NGK > Denso for sure. I usually pull mine out to check the gap at about 10k miles and then swap them out at 15k. Which I guess I need to start thinking about, I'm about 13.5k into my current set...
