    MPP Comfort Coilover reviews?

    Finished installing MPP Comfort coil overs a few days ago and man what a difference ! I had been driving with Eibach 1” drop springs with cut Back bump stops. The stock shocks were defiantly over dampened and even with cut back bump stops it often hit them. The freeway ride is so much...

    self made aero wheels

    Your route has to be round trip, in order to cancel out wind and elevation changes. When I test, I do my loop with device on the car, then another loop without, then to confirm any improvement , I do it again with the device reinstalled . Oh course same day doing this. :)

    Why all the hate for the Aero wheels?

    Here's a reason to like Aero Wheels......You can go faster on the highway and still beat energy % estimates ! I have gone to southern California several times over the last two years with my aero covers and can go 75-78 mph and still beat the % estimates. So all you people who are always...

    Tesla Glass Tile Solar Roof Update

    Thank you for doing this text ! I just wish they would show all being tested the same. Elon did clarify on Twitter they orientated the tile according to how it is installed on the roof. Jeff

    Tesla Glass Tile Solar Roof Update

    " as the others have cracked over much longer lengths than the Solar Roof Tile can" This is the precise reason the others failed the way they did. They where unsupported along the entire length. The Tesla cell set sideways is supported at least 40 percent better, which didn't allow it to...

    Tesla Glass Tile Solar Roof Update

    Ok, is it just me , but watching to video showing various tiles shattering is deceptive ! They hold the Tesla glass tile horizontally, with clamps much closer together. Show all samples held the same way !! Come on Tesla, your better than this :( Jeff

    Using Superchargers for Local Charging

    Ok, I'll add my two cents.... I have a Supercharger on my way to work. I use it once a week at 5am. There is never more than one other car their at that time. Who am I hurting ?

    Aero wheels

    David, I have an idea to quiet your covers down. Use nylon edge trim. It will slide without making noise. Plus It will minimize scuffing of the rim. This is from McMaster. Push On—Style 7 7/64" __ 17/64" 15/64" 21/64" __ MDS-Filled Nylon 8721K12 1.11 .85 1/8" __ 17/64" 15/64" 21/64" __ Nylon...

    Aero wheels

    David, Yes this has been my results also. The faster you go the more your gain. A few months ago I took my longest trip with my Aero covers to Southern Ca. from Norhten Ca. This was with four adults in the car and I could keep the watt per mile to just under 300 at 69-70 mph. I have not...

    Just bought the Extended Service Agreement

    I tried to buy the extended this week, only to find only the original owner can do so ! This was a major surprise to since the two warranty repairs I received so far, the tech asked me to consider purchasing it. I did tell at the time I was the second owner and they told me it didn't matter ...

I will be going to a 2.73 final gear from the 3.08 im currently running. The motor did get really hot and im currently looking at ways to remedy this. Im already using...

    REFUEL 2016, May 22 Laguna Seca

    Yes, it was a lot of fun and the first track day for my new conversion. It was also my first track day in two years and the Cobra was much better than me ! It will take several more track days to find its limits. Jeff

    self made aero wheels

    First off, I really like your design. I used full moon covers on my Dodge truck and it definitely increased efficiency . Here is what I came up with. I think they solve most of your bad points.

    Aero wheels

    Ok, Had some time to do the install of the wheel covers. As you can see..no wheel was injured to install covers(no drilled holes). Don't get me wrong im not against drilling the rim to anchor them, I have done it on both motorcycle wheels and my Pin Drive wheels on my Cobra. I just wanted to...

    Hello all ! My name is Jeff

    Thanks for the Hello ! Yes I will be at ReFuel with the Cobra. Ive put about 1000 street miles on it so far, just working out all the bugs. I used to race bikes at both PIR and SIR in the day, but haven't been to the new track in Medford. Jeff

    Hello all ! My name is Jeff

    I have loved the S ever since it came out, but it was always out of my price range. I told myself I would wait until the first lease returns were available and see where the price fell. Well the end of last year they were finally a possibility. I purchased my Pearl White S85 from a retired...

    Aero wheels

    With my racing background I am very familiar with the term ..... I have a general rule about adding UN-sprung weight ...don't. If I do, I will find an item that weights the same or more and remove it :) Jeff

    Aero wheels

    Yes, my initial idea was to match the body color, but once on the car, they just didn't look right. I will test with the brushed look , but I can always change them later.
  48. jeff mccabe

    Aero wheels

    Yes, I will post some more photos on how I install them. The brushing effect, was done because my Laser at work doesn't like cutting Aluminum because of the reflectivity, so I just put a swirl pattern on top in order to cut them. Turns out , it looks kind of cool !

    Testing next week !

    Aero wheels

    Im going to use safety wire for initial testing. The wire will join pairs from behind. Two out-most pairs , then two in in word pairs. This will require me to remove wheels to install. The smaller openings, will be left as is. They should have little effect, ill find out soon enough ?
