"The first tank. All the things wrong with this tank...
-Learning to drive the car (never Honda/Lean Burned before)
-Teaching wife how to drive a stick (1st gear go/stop hell!)
-Had to bleed coolant system (idle for 20-30 minutes!)
Otherwise, grid charge when battery low (about every 3-4 days), grid charge 12v when possible, block heating about 1/2 way through, WAI towards the end, Aero modding throughout tank (fixing panels, removed wipers, removed passenger mirror), experimented with tire pressure (55/60 seems to be good to go!) and various weight reduction." |
