GD AOS!

Post by steve578 » Mon Apr 02, 2018 6:06 pm

My AOS went belly up today with no warning.

I tested it before tearing my car apart for the IMS job and it tested perfectly. Of course it would fail after it was all back together and no longer easy to access. :?

Think about this way... A burnout that you can impress the neighbor's kids without any damage to your tires.

Oh, and nice roof shot btw.

It does look kinda like an epic burnout pic taken right before you launched into your neighbor's garage across the street :D

Great comments. The smoke started as I exited the freeway a half mile from the house. It was so bad that the Bond smokescreen was the first thought that popped into my head! The burnout out is even better. :lol:

I’ll start a write up on the replacement. There are quite a few write ups out there, so mine will be more commentary than anything else.

True story: You spelled out the following in Morse code:

T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.
