Barney is big, purple, heavy, and makes me want to cry at the snap of fingers too, doesn’t mean that’s a good thing!
😉

Where did the dinosaur touch you, Sir?

Thanos loses in the end!


:banana:

One on one he never loses... It always takes a team to gang up on him, wear him down with a bunch of talking and distraction (just like Mustang owners).

I can live with those odds.

I could rename it to this:


Dubstep version for the kids:


Or call it John Holmes' purple-headed warrior - because that hammer did some serious damage too. :eek:

That's it for me, folks. You've been a lovely audience - and tell your friends, I am here all week! Goodnight, everyone!

The compressor hosi
While window shopping for boost controllers and widebands is fun... it doesn't get a car built. So I took a break from the must-do pile... and jumped into the wants.

I give you: Thanos!

Big, purple, heavy, and will make you cry with a snap of his fingers.

The compressor housing glitters in the sun... that went better than expected.

Now I am thinking I need to pull the valvecovers off the spare engine, sandblast and paint them. Arrrrrgh!

Damn you, Turbo Zach!

I just ordered this (along with a bunch of unicorn decorations for my oldest's 6th birthday - don't judge me): https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07F8VJ5RP/?tag=rippca-20 Comes with a fast charge port, and the voltmeter is a nice touch.

As I mentioned earlier I am not putting a radio/stereo in this car because that is needless weight, and the technology gets dated so quickly... I actually hate the deck in the wagon because it doesn't save settings/preferences. These days our phones do it all... so a Bluetoof speaker on the seat will be plenty.

I was looking at this. I think it would be pretty useful for a switch panel and a USB charger with a volt meter.

That is definitely a good choice if you need all that stuff. Personally, I am replacing the stock cigarette lighter with this USB-doodad and putting a delete panel where the radio was - in the future I'll put a tablet mount there for gauges and datalogging. My days of manually flicking beans... err... switches are over - automation is my goal.

I am soooo going to fart around with this later this Summer:

Just going to speculate I will have to tune this car like a manual transmission (non-electric automatic).
