Back to the actual topic, I changed the tranny and diff lubes today. MT-90 in the gearbox and Gear 300 in the diff.

He's got lots of bear videos and stills.
I love Canada! Visited a couple of times years ago. Wanna get back one day for sure. Y’all have a lot of mega fauna! Moose are incredible animals. You guys are supposed to have Bigfoot too!

I have been charged by a big male I called Thomas, but they are ritual charges almost all the time. Never run! They can do 40 mph through the bush.
Oh wow you’re on Vancouver Island!! Never been but from what I’ve seen in nature programs, just unprecedented beauty! And I KNOW you guys have Bigfoot!
Yeah that’s the intimidating thing about bears. If one truly wanted you, there’s just no way to get away. There’s not a snake in the world I’m afraid of, and ive caught just about everything in the southeastern US in 50 years of handling, but bears, no sir. I’ll admire from a safe distance. Like about a mile

Had my RPF1s powder coated Tiffany Blue by 6651 Customs in Las Vegas.


Custom center cap inserts from revlimiter.net


TFB Designs makes replacement Enkei stickers in just about every colour.

What's the story behind the 'Tiffany Blue'? Nice powder coating.

I believe it’s a (actually trademarked) color by Tiffany & Co.

True... It has been trademarked by Tiffany & Co. Copyright? Either way, they 'own' the colour. How it came to be an accent colour for me...

Rear STB reminded me of an old luggage handle and that thought just kinda stuck with me. Looked like you could open the trunk, reach in, and pick it up. The rubber mat had to go away for the STB and sub and I went to the fabric store to get something. I had no idea what but I didn't like any of the premade carpet options and I didn't want just the thin felt in the trunk. Saw this outdoor rated plaid fabric and that old luggage handle seedling of a thought came back and I decided to do a Burberry ish trunk. When it came time to put in the OEMAudio+ system the satin black sub looked wonky and so in keeping with the theme of the trunk, if you will, I decided a Tiffany Blue sub was the perfect accessory to accompany the Burberry trunk/luggage look. And so it began...

Can update once I've driven at different speeds/temps.
Need to up that idle. 7psi is min hot idle, I think I have my car set to idle at 850 above 190 water temp, or something like that. I'd have to look at the table to tell you for sure. Could be your sending unit placement though.

It’s stock tune now though, so I can’t adjust the idle.

It is probably alright, i'd just up it if you ever get a tune. Did you mount the sending unit under the AC compressor?
