Me too... wink wink.. Some of those gummies are pretty good, at least for TEXAS.

Not quite there yet but, gettin' close...

What was the warranty period for these batteries? Who makes your brand of battery?

Back in '68, I wanted some of those RWLs too. I had a set of Dayton "Wide Ovals" on my 63 Galixie 500. But, they were black letters only. So, I sat down one day with my bottle of Testor's Model Paint and paint brush. I then made my own Raised White Lettered tires. (RWL in the tire biz).. Now maybe he'll go for Gangster Wides. But, this thread is only 10 years old..... My how things have changed.

On our 22 ST with 22 inch wheels, the wife ran it into a curb destroying the new tires and I knew the wheels were junk! I took them down to a wheel place and a week later I picked them up mounted and balanced (I supplied the tires) good as new for a couple hundred bucks. They looked and work like new. The work done by some of these places is astounding!

Have you raised the idle while stopped with your foot on the brake too? If V8, welcome to the world of unbalanced engines as they are configured as 2, 3 cylinder engines with a common crank. AS a side note, my 08 (215K miles) does the same at idle in gear, until I press the gas pedal just a bit.

Once they got rid of any thing that resembles an antenna and replaced it with a Ferrite Core, reception has not been the same! Replacing the "Shark Fin" with "Rubber Duck" or anything else, might be detrimental to reception too. The antenna for AM reception, needs to be matched to the radio.

There was a video of them dismantling the Edge production line in Oakville. But, EVs are not the answer!

In reading the above scenario with the 22 ST, (I have one too) if he did a quick maneuver, and a transient fault happened (no DTC set) the input could have been changed to last good known or his quick response. Until the system quits being stupid and go back to "normal", his inputs will be magnified. I love the steering in the 22 ST as it is more responsive than our 08 Edge.

Yes on a whim or a lost "bit". No wonder MS Windows is not in the Cockpit.

Thanks @Haz

In all of my years working on multi makes of vehicles, I found that people that owned a Volvo, needed to.😉

Not a bad deal as it is only 16 !/2 cents per mile + expenses and about 145 gallons of fuel per year.

Your remote or vehicle is getting jammed by a stronger frequency. Hackers can hang around crowded parking lots and scrape the owner's key fob code and spoof it. Once spoofed, they open the door as the alarms are off. Plug in to the OBDII port, and make a new key fob. Start the car and..... Store your key fob in a Faraday shielded fob case. In crowded parking lots, try to not use the fob to remote lock ( hit twice for that good old "it's locked" feeling) the doors, lift the hatch etc. The new breed of car thieves are pretty dang smart!

!300 CC VWs used to do that same sort of thing with about 30K. The head poped off the stem. Just plain dumb luck or excessive revs.

Why did you replace the plugs to begin with? Did it jerk/stagger before the plugs were replaced? Try lowering the gap down to .28 It might be you are "blowing out" the spark with a wide gap. What was the gap on the old plugs?

Spark plugs breaking down under load will cause that problem.How old and what kind gap etc.? Boosted engines "loves dem plugs".

Under the left passenger seat. If not here is a different way.

We did our yearly service on the Ceramic coating at Sparkle and Shine McKinney Texas. It looks better than it did when we bought it last year! Trey does GREAT detail work and I mean DETAIL down to the tiniest nooks! I even got great marks for NOT leaving marks during this past year! As crippled as I am, it takes about 30 minutes to wash and dry the "Black Momba". (Yes I know it is spelled with an A but, it my wife's pride and joy!)

More fun for being cool.

Have you measured the temps of the rotors?

I am not an expert nor have much knowledge of tunes etc. Remember, we are lugging around 2 1/4 tons of car around! With a 120 CID engine (2.0 L) X 15 PSI = 240 HP For each atmosphere (15 PSI or 1 Bar or Atmosphere) an engine doubles in size and HP! So to get about 450+ HP, one is going to need somewhere about 30-35 PSI. The fuel system will need to double to triple it's output. Did I mention boost lag with such 1 large turbo? That is why staged turbo systems are made on more expensive vehicles. Rather than making more power, I would make a "Canyon Carver" by doing the suspension wheels and tires

How do you know the brakes are dragging?

I have wondered about this little device.... https://www.4dtech.com/canopener-motion-unlock-360-camera-unlock/

it ain't like the good old days anymore! That is why "Tunes" are sold. The BOV just ducts to the engine bay, so one may hear the "whoosh" instead of dumping back into the intake side. Also, forget the pedal BS too. The pedal mod, pops the throttle open quicker but, the turbo/s spool up only so fast! The down side as I see it, is say one has been sitting idling a tad, and the "Stop Light Grand Prix" urge hits. All the while, the oil has been accumulating on the cylinders, rings and skirts of the pistons has not burned off. The mapping is set to deliver a 1st. shot of fuel (keeps the duty cycles down on the injectors) this happens before another richer mixture is injected that is closer dynamically to the spark plug just before TDC. This is similar to Honda's "Stratified Charge" but without the extra combustion chamber and valve. This 1st. fuel charge (very lean relative to the total mixture) mixes with the residual oil that has not burned off. Unfortunately, the octane rating is lower than the oil as well as the fuel. This is a culprit to Low Speed Pr-Ignition (LSPI). LSPI burns holes into pistons, breaks rings, lands and the best part by the time one gets a hint, TOO LATE! This is why oil specs were changed for Direct Injection (DI) and especially DI turbo engines. Save your bucks. Tune inter-cooler and bigger "Snails".
