What did you do to your car today?

Changed my BCM yesterday. Repaired it six or so years ago with some copper wicking, and didn't want to admit it finally failed. But, after going through the pinpoint tests to find the cause of my intermittent high-low blower action, even that pointed to the BCM.
The solder joints on the old one look fine, and pass continuity tests. But, the problem is gone with the replacement, so...

Also, changed the spark plugs. Old Champions ran for about 4-5 years, but were definitely worn out. Put in Bosch platinums. Indexed each plug, pointing the opening between the intake valves (basically, up - electrode towards exhaust, which is down). After reading about it some more tonight, turns out you want to point the opening between the exhaust valves (electrode between the intakes), but I'm not going to re-do them.

It's own self! The F1's come with a plastic nose cone that's apparently just screwed in... After a quick google search I see this is by far not the first since around '09.

I call them yesterday to get an estimate and they wouldn't give out squat without a $115 fee and $40 shipping both ways, not even a worst case. What annoys me the most is them after at least SIX years of knowing the fault they still play absolutely STUPID!

"So the air filter got sucked in???"

No, YOUR FACTORY NOSE CONE like I just said.

HUH? That's odd..

The throttle stuck for a short time, killed and clutched it. Inspected it, pulled the cone out and limped it the 1/4 mile back home. Took the belt off, throttle was fine again. Cranked her up and she sounded quieter than a brand new Honda.

I shut her back down, shut the hood. It gouged my piping pretty good but no holes that I could see. I'll pop the intercooler and intake later for inspection. At least it's all forged and all but five valves are Stainless. (Long story if you don't recall why)

I have no idea what direction I'll go from here, I don't even want to look at it. Twins, another F1, D1, original engine N/A and just enjoy it, sell it, no clue. I'm kinda broke this year so that doesn't help put me into the mood of shoveling more money into something that I was burned out on years ago..

Did a little off-roading and took down some signs that read I'm with her.

I kid I kid I couldn't find any :lol:

Better coils then oils! [emoji4]

You might want to check the wiring as it goes into the plug for each COP. I've had one all but broke in half and I know others have too.
