Glad you are having fun. I too am a tweaker.

What is that thing, how much$ and can you use it to tweak the rate of throttle opening for an auto and also the braking just before you come to a standstill?

I find our car takes off a bit too suddenly for my liking unless you concentrate on applying the gas pedal gently / un-naturally.
Similarly, I have to concentrate at the moment just before coming to a stop or the brakes sort of grab. Do't get me wrong.... I love the brake progression before they get to that point.

Oooh yes, it looks much better with that alignment. What's that blue bit above the wheel in the first pic?

Did you get to see how it was before?
It's painters tape, they set ride height for me before the alignment. They put it there to make notes and markings

So you were tearing along at over 100 just waiting to take those photos? Glad you explained the photos were taken by someone other than you.

I have a bit of automotive-grade optically-opaque black paper optimally positioned on my instrument panel which obscures the view of the digital speed from the passenger seat. Previously I often experienced a sort of shrieking sound which disturbed my concentration. No pic ... it looks naff.

Speed limit was 100 and the gf thought it would be a cool pic.

It IS a cool pic and the title "No longer a teenager" is very clever. You should keep your gf but tell her that she could do to take lessons in picture composition .

Did you drive and drive and drive until you reached 19999 or did you just happen to notice that you were close before preparing to take the shots?



I had a chance to calibrate our speedo. When it indicates 106kmph it is doing a true 100.

My gf/wife/dreaded has yet to work out that she can see my speed on the left-hand dial so my paper mod works. It is not patented so you are welcome to copy if necessary.
