should have came from factory that way. the OEM one felt about the size of a 60s car. feels better in hand and makes steering feel more " real"

Absolutely, plus the added bonus of keeping the airbag was nice.

For $6 delivered and out of anodized aluminum instead of plastic, hardly worth firing up the 3D printer.

When are you guys going to do that "Dyno Days"? That sounds interesting. Or, did I miss that already. It's really interesting to have your car on the 4-wheel dyno and actually measure things, versus what you feel (seat-of-your-pants dyno) or hear.

I was at my favorite Indy shop recently when a customer brought in their BMW track car and a new chip they just purchased. Did a before and after run and found out the chip he purchased actually produced LESS hp than the stock configuration. So he wasn't happy.

Thanks,
Steve

I washed the car, then I had already removed the spare tire, I was detailing cleaning the frunk. Finally to one of my watering holes $2 23 ounces drafts and $2 bourbon pours, nice to live on a bugget, tomorrow another adventure.

Last pic looks like he runs it pretty sedately - expected the crown to be 'cleaner'...

Found a little puddle of oil under my car.

I changed the oil in November when I put it away. There was oil in the oil filter catch basin and I grabbed my turkey baster to suck it up. Stupid me squeezed the baster and blew oil everywhere. I guess it took 4 months to get to the bottom. My engine was detailed and perfectly clean before this bonehead move!
