What did you do to your mk7 today?

[Nineeightyone]

uhhhh seriously? I never knew that if that's the case....if so....61k without doing so would def make it fail lol. I didn't put any on with the install either, sooooooooo ruh roh

I have goldfish memory (like the snack, actual goldfish apparently are more intelligent than we give them credit for) so I may not be the most accurate source of information. IMO it's an easy part to get to, just put some oil from the dipstick on your finger and rub a little on the o-ring IF you feel so inclined

Installed my new compact 6m/2m SSB Yagi setup (~3 dBd).

It's easier to install/remove than the full-sized tower; plus, it's more road-friendly since it's 3ft shorter and can travel while turned sideways for a narrower aspect. I can even fit it through my favorite drive-thru!

I'm taking it to Baltimore this weekend for a Parks on the Air activation with a group of other hams. They asked me to bring a VHF setup. This will be my first time working POTA on VHF.

You know, I was kinda curious what happened to this car -- I feel like we hadn't seen anything in a while, glad you're still doing cool stuff with it! It's really a great testament to how versatile these cars are.

Lol not much more work to turn it into a helicopter.

True, and I understand how a helicopter works. But this...

And for the record, I don't like helicopters even though I understand them. Yet I like this even though I don't understand it.

Who doesn't like helicopters?

Who doesn't like helicopters?

Anyone in the aviation industry... Helicopters love to just pop up below final and give airliners TCAS RAs, or pull it back to 40 knots on final ruining your perfect sequence. Sir you were number one, but Ezekiel in his horse and buggy are overtaking you so now you're number last.

Can confirm all of the above.

I work at Van Nuys airport, on the same side of the runway as the helipad... DHL helicopter (they ain't brought me nothing), random helicopters (please go away, all of you), News Station helicopters (does traffic on the 5/101/110/118/134/405/710/etc. really count as news), sight seeing helicopters (please go away, all of you), flight school helicopters (may the all knowing of your choice help us all), and Children's Hospital helicopter (do whatever you need to whenever you need to, save the babies)

The helicopters are always doing weirdo things. Sometimes choosing to "taxi" along the full length of the runway at 30' off the ground, other times pretending they're going to "taxi" then changing their mind and cutting across right over you, coming over the area of no grass to land thus kicking up massive amount of dust in your area on the way to their area... no thank you sir/ma'am.

Sorry boys I couldn't hear you over the fortunate son

Changed my front pads just in time. I guess I was lucky they made it through last track day. On a positive note, like running your gas tank to empty, I now know how much pad I need to get through track day. Just a visual measurement. Wish I had calipers to measure exactly.

Carbotech XP12 just in case anyone wondering. 4 track days, 25 AutoX. 8k miles

This one was hanging on for dear life

Really lucky it didn't delaminate off the backing plate that low. That's happened to me once already trying to be brave and doing a session with too little material. Never again heh.

Didn't know that could happen. Yikes.

Yeah, this is what a set looked like when this happened. Big chunks of material were just delaminating entirely from the pad. One wore all the way down to the backing material and fucked my rotor, too.

Wrapped up a R DP/MP, then started on a GLI DP.

What I do to my MK7 today?

When closing the Hood today the arm must of hit the QD fitting attached to the Ethanol sensor causing the line to blow and dump fuel everywhere!!

The street was full of fuel I had to push my car to side.

Crazy thing I was doing runs that night, this happened on the way home on the side streets doing 40mph or less, reaching a stop sign, it just shut down.

A real video of me, when I popped the hood and saw E85 all over the place.
