My room is full of intakes. Oh and I didn't even get the Kawasaki throttle bodies because they were up on a shelf.

Bye Bye Chester! First car I ever worked on, and while I obviously never did much with it, I'm glad I got it to a point where it drove to it's new home.

This post from @alexnpress.bsky.social is just too on the nose of how law enforcement is used and implemented to protect the capital of the obscenely rich.

Proud to share a birthday with Jaws, and to a lesser extent, my sister.
My best buddy is 10 today! We’re celebrating with treats and naps (mostly naps). Wish Jaws a happy birthday, if you’d like, and I’ll annoy him by waking him up to show him.

I did this as a test piece, and tell me that isn't the fastest power strip you've seen.

I am always fighting the urge to call into work so I can stay home and do nerd things.

Got my stuff back from the machine shop! Obviously was required to lay it all out and get pictures assisted by @ncglasgow.bsky.social. The last pic is the overly complicated stand I made to balance my rods, which I'm also lightening because I live dangerously. Getting close to assembly. #weirdcarbs

I have created a finger print issue for my car with rusty floor pans and no engine. The velocity stacks are a rough draft 3d printed in PLA, I plan to dyno a few variations and the final versions will be done in carbon fiber nylon. Engine and custom air box coming soon (eventually)!

The 2005 Honda Civic is objectively the best car, and mine is objectively the best 2005 Honda Civic.

Some neat cars in the garage I was getting my porting in. Also there was a tractor when I first came in. #weirdcarbs

Got set up with an example head, a die grinder, and some pointers and began my head porting today. No work in the ports was done actually but I'll get there.

Out with the old in with the new. Still needs connectors and some sort of back to protect and strain relieve the wires. Also will be drawing a diagram to help any future troubleshooters.

Going back next week with my head and he's going to help me get my valve seats cut hopefully and maybe line me out on porting.
Went to the British "clinic" hosted by Kieth Ansel (foreign parts positively is the name of his business.) Turned out the lights in his store room had just stopped working so I put my tools on and earned a bit of good will. Apparently Kieth actually created the D9 cam profile @jeffbatt.bsky.social.

My new harness will include advanced technologies like relays, fuses (invented in 1972), and permanent splices (instead of crimping or soldering wires together where they needed to come off of something but not plug into anything they had little loops with very reliable bullet connectors).
@guffyfish.bsky.social has pulled the whole ass wiring harness from his MGB, bringing about a moment of reckoning. The plan now is to go all in on the resto, rather than trying to get the car on the road this summer. He'll make a new harness. I'll be painting the whole car. Much to do. #weirdcarbs

So all the Multnomah County offices are closed today. Forecast is for temps below freezing and freezing rain all day. But as best I can tell they're not reopening any warming centers. They are actively trying to kill people.
Multnomah County declined to open warming shelters tonight despite the city being encased in ice, and more freezing rain incoming. This is unconscionable, and everyone should be calling them nonstop tomorrow demand some fucking accountability

Draining cold 20w-50 is a blast, left it dripping all night. Is it wrong that I'm disappointed it's not sparkly? I feel like if I'm going to blow up a motor I should get some sparkly oil out of it.

The Miata is always around its splitter always scrapes and shoots sparks. The Volvo might have been my favorite car of the day.
