psssst...
I got an email this evening.
I have a replacement blue zmax mini coming.

:banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:

Nice! I'd try taking the other one apart, nothing to loose, you might figure out how to take them apart and maybe even fix the bad one. BTW, somehow my mind wandered to that zmax while I was under the wife's car finishing the engine swap today, if you get it apart, look REAL close at all the 510 parts from both the inside and outside. Long time ago I had a little eleaf mod that did the same thing and I ended up finding some solder inside the 510, on the center pin and that was shorting it out, cleaned that blob out by shaving it off with an xacto knife and it worked fine.

Had to go into work early this morning.

I'm often up middle of the night but last night I was up nursing a sore neck and back, I finished doing an engine swap on my wife's car last night, been a long three days. I haven't done an engine swap in close to 20 years, the first one ever at home, outside of a automotive shop with a lift. Hopefully it will be the last engine swap I'll ever do and hopefully it will all be worth it. I got incredibly lucky and snagged a really nice low mileage used engine and at a more then fair price, the salvage yard had just gotten it in. I drove it for about an hour late last night with the computer scanning software recording everything the entire time, everything looks perfect and it's running great. My wife drove off with it this morning, final judgement will come from her.

Had more than my share of major auto work for the year, hoping to shut the doors on the shop and stay away for a long time!

looks good so far - being about 100 miles inland from the virginia coast we should be ok and mike is another 50 miles west.

but oh, how we could use some rain! :facepalm:

Here in upstate NY we very, very rarely have storms like that pass through, thankfully! We are getting unrelated thunder storms here today but they are small and numerous spread out about a half hour or so between, lot's of loud thunder though. Forecast for the next ten days shows a lot of rain, typical for this time of year, I'd send ya some if I could.

Yikes! I'd pass on that, I'd hate to soil the seats in such an expensive car. :laugh:
They make adult diapers. ;)

Those speeds are only doable on VW's test track which has that 5 mile straightaway and steep banked turns that you have to do 120MPH+ just to stay up on the incline. Specialy designed Michelin tires to hold the 5.3G's of force and that's a 365/710 R540 tire spinning at 4080rpm... Certified to 318MPH on the test bench, you know those would be cheap for 12 minutes of tire life at that speed.

This is just the start of 300MPH+ hyper cars, Koenigsegg's Jesko will hit that speed and a lot of the electric hyper cars will be something to see. You just know that Hennessey will trying to compete with the Venom. ;)

I'm waiting for NHRA to break 400MPH they are at 338 now and it won't be long.

Tonight I put a new coil and wick in one of my TGT 3's (styled), it vaped so good but looked so wrong (height).

Guess I missed this! It vapes So Good! I retired mine for reasons I still can't remember, I brought it back & it Vapes So Good! It's not much taller than the V4, only thing is the proprietary DT, it Sucks :( The draw is perfect for me! The flavour is on point, & the capacity isn't bad :) If you can still find a Typhoon GT3 Clone, get it!
