Nice!
You would probably be better off with the extended capacity of a 40T instead of the 30T.
Thanks! Love it. I will get some 40Ts next. It is pushing the 30A on these batteries already. I want the 35A of the 30Ts for hot builds and my 21700 converted Pulse. I plan on getting a tank for it soon. I kinda don't want to take this one out of the house I am scared I will hurt it lol.

get a wrench with a long lever then you won't care how tight they are.

Gosh IDK all these newfangled cars and whatnot I do happen to have my manual in my dash actually, I told him he had to get me the giant Lugnut Cross those things were epic and I always felt like I could walk on water when I'm using them.

BUT here's the thing, HOPEFULLY with the giant lever I can loosen them, but how will I know if they are tightened to whatever PSI? I mean. I guess if I can get one OFF with the Jesus lever I can get one ON, I suppose.

Grr Did not call HR lady because sister's drunken friend interrupted my yoga time and I had to talk to her a LONG time in order for thing to Sober Up a bit, and I'm not calling NOW, I'd get voicemail and not SLEEP.

But tomorrow it will be exactly three weeks. I'm calling first thing tomorrow also apparently we ARE having the barbeque meatballs.

What fun today has been and soon I must Step up my Game even MORE. sarcastic YAYYYY!!!

If I get one I doubt it would even go for dog walks. Mostly the 133 goes for those. That's why I haven't exchanged the door for the new one I bought it. It's basically my carry mod.

That's what my pulse mods are for. They are cheqp and indestructable.

Breaking into my Iroc wasn't a problem, frameless windows.
Now explaining to the cops that I was not trying to steal my own car and that I was more than sober enough to drive home............not so much.
I had a similar experience with my old 944T. Locked my keys in and was scoping out the situation and contemplating a slim jim break in when the spotlight hit me.

For changing a flat tire it just matters that it's on long enough to get you home (or somewhere they got a torque wrench), it's not meant to run for thousands of miles like that, like a properly installed tire is.
You'll have to fix the torque later on at a garage or with your husband. If he doesn't have a torque wrench that's a reason for divorce I heard :D

If you have mechanic's genes you'll hear a "click" from your elbow when you reached the correct torque

I had a Corvette in college, and my cousin always begged to drive it.
I ran track for OSU and my roomate (my cousin) played Football for them.
We only lived 4 blocks from the Athletic Training Center and he had a team meeting that night. He begged to drive and I said OK but made him SWEAR to go straight there and back.

First he gets reamed by the coaches because of how it looked for him to show up in it (NCAA regs and all). Then he calls me up and asks if I have my extra keys cause he locked the others in it.
I told him do NOT try to break in, I'll be there in a sec.

He starts stuttering and stammering and saying he's not at the training center.
He stopped off at another players house on the way home.
While were standing next to my car arguing and then laughing and staring in the windows, we see red and blue lights.
Eventually I convinced the cops to run my plate and help us get in the car so I can get my DL out of the console, and prove it's mine.

While he was helping us, apparently his partner was calling our coaches to vouch for us.
We all got reamed and told that we better pray no one started talking about college athletes needing help to get into their Corvette.

Running. We did a lot of running the next day........

It was 11 years old, but that was the beauty of the C4, it looked just the newer ones, lol.

Torque wrench.

Yeah okay. If I must. I remain stubbornly convinced that like, all those old cars I grew up with you just tightened until you were done tightening. But, I must also admit that well, I don't want a tire falling off when I'm driving.

I will get the Jesus Lever and a torque wrench if I must. I imagine it's probably what is in my bag of tools and impossible for me to use, etc. because it's like 3 inches long, etc.

Just flagging down a Total Stranger Is sounding more and more appealing frankly. Although why I would trust someone besides me to torque wrench myself to the correct PSI also escapes me. I am not an AAA fan. I don't know, I'm going to have to spend some time having at my vehicle I guess.

Standards and measures, I'm sure they're great things and all but I miss the days when one's vehicle didn't have a jillion computers in it and whatnot.

@TrollDragon [and everyone],

I'm the newbie round here, so any advice, suggestions and input is always extremely welcome. So much enthusiasm, yet so little knowledge ;).

The "Spider" was an experiment, I did my best to follow the coil calculator that comes on a certain "old fashioned train" website. They recommended 3.5 turns @ 4mm ID, which I overshot slightly. The previous test coil I made had a much higher resistance, and took ages to ramp up [SS]. I am looking to try and get something that matches my Cleito 120 coil performance wise, which is 0.16 ohms, but works well at 50-65W with a cool but flavoursome vape, so it is running grossly underrated. It is still going strong 6,670 puffs later, almost a month now. It has a huge chimney coil, hence me going for the 4mm dia.

I'll give the 2x26ga Ni80 @ 3.5mm ID with 8 wraps when I get a chance later, along with a bigger triple twisted version and see how they compare. With photos of course - I need practice, you guys need entertaining :lol:.

Yeah it happens all the time. If you need to see to believe then here you go (the internet is full with that stuff, images, stories, videos, whatever you want)

It's so easy to avoid that kind of accident. Similar to our batteries it doesn't happen every time but establishing a safety standard helps. And with a car it's not just about you, it's about the other cars and pedestrians as well, your car could weer off or the tire become a projectile wreaking havoc on the sidewalk or in oncoming traffic.
