Ronferd, it's that time of the week where you need to give back to the people who look up to you in an online way.

... and jes cuz DP finally rolls under it's own power, don't get a bigg head.

Oh man the gallery is out in full force today! :thumbsup:

So...yesterday Rob and I got together to look over my NRG removable hub install and also go take a ride over to QMP. With Sieg remote, I swear if we had added two nickels to what we already had, we might be able to buy one brain. :lol: Turns out I might have an old style ididit column because the NRG hub that mounts to the column bottoms out against the column when tightening the lock nut on the splined shaft. That results in not being able to turn the wheel. Crazy thing is it's only positioned by a C-clip, so I used one size larger additional clips as spacers and that did the trick. None of us are totally comfortable with that solution so I'm calling ididit and NRG tomorrow. Then of course there's the horn button position and wiring. NRG/Momo give you multiple parts to install in foreign, domestic and aftermarket wheels so we finally figured out the right combo. Lastly, the ground wire connectors between the Momo horn button and the NRG wheel mount are both male. 20 minute job was done way later in the day :sieg:

The trip over to QMP was fun. Brad is working on his own head program and we got to compare a few different designs from the Mast/Mozez mamma jammas to WCCH, some large Hemi heads and more. Fun stuff. I finally got bored with Rob's FE motor NASCAR history lesson babble so I dragged him outta there and we both hit the road home.

Today I took the car out to do some testing. I intended to season the rotors per Baer's specs but they're still fresh and you're supposed to wait until you get enough miles on them to get rid of the zinc plating before starting the procedure. So I went for a putt instead and ended up at the Rock Store. Fun ride through the canyons. Had a C6 behind me at a couple of points and lost him quickly. We were driving about 7/10s so maybe he wasn't trying, but my ego is intact :D . My driving report - I'm trying to get used to the steering input. Seems different at times and I need to look into it. Feedback is good, but power assist sometimes isn't there and slow/medium/high speed has nothing to do with it. Weird, I know, but that's what break in is for, right? Under spirited street/canyon driving the tires and suspension stick surprisingly well at this point. I got a little sense of slip angle and teeny, tiny push (again 7/10ths or so) and that's what I was looking for. Motor and drivetrain rocks the house and at one point I had it past 5k in 5th. :Tomcat:

F'n car rocks, Just a fun, fun ride. :D

Oh, I'll upload a couple pics later. Vid next time out for sure! :cheers:

I wuz typing Skippah :snapout: :D

That is all too real. :lmao:

Glad you're having fun with the car Ron. Nothing sweeter than getting it out on a sunny Sunday and just ripping right into the rpm's.

You know that serious face he puts on when preaching about Ferd's heyday :lol:

:cheers: Rob

Thanks (for everything) Marcus! :thumbsup:

You're done driving already? :twak:

^ X-men, 2:30. You'll be there in 10 years Bro. :)

Ron owns a GoPro and an I phone and has demonstrated he knows how to video on both.

Either he produces some video or none of it ever happened. Who drives their 10 year $200k project on a canyon road the first time and doesn't get video:headscratch:

I think Bad Ron has made all this up.:rolleyes: :underchair:

He did glaze over when Brad and I started talking about everything but LS motors that part is true. We were talking about some Hemi builds and a couple Limas builds; what a cook Bill Coon is and the advantages of a forging over billet in a block.

In each case Ron asked if the made a billet accessory drive and matching valve covers for any of those motors.:lol:

Brad was telling me about the Med riser and Cammer he had just built this year and asked what made me do a Tunnelport. Somewhere between Brad telling me about the 302 TP he had built and my mentioning the round port RAIV pontiacs and RAV TP Pontiacs Ron said uncle and we left.

Just imagine how many times I have listened to Ron discuss the various ways to finish and care for billet parts and never said anything.:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :cheers:
