Dan - really interesting observations. Subjectively my recollection is that the DD lagged behind the Aim GPS slightly in both acceleration from stop and deceleration to zero. My display, the proprietary gps sensor, and the DD all refresh at 10Hz but the DD seemed to be laggy or suffered from...

Del - did you get the GPS antenna for your AIM, or are you planning to use the VSS/reluctor combo for your speed output on your display? If you have the AIM gps sensor then all you need to do for the VSS is feed it a signal whenever you’re moving, it doesn’t care about actual speed (I believe)...

Hard to say, I'm sure there are a bunch of factors that go into just how much energy is required to spin start a motor (compression, # of cylinders, # of accessories, starter requirements, etc). I was very surprised to see what it did in the video and was intrigued enough to give them a shot...

Looks great, congrats Ron!

Funny enough I just did a quick search and came across this thread that talks about noisy suspension. Solution was to grease the heims (as Granville did). In this thread CamM refers to QA1 XML rod ends. https://www.gt40s.com/threads/suspension-lubrication.49063/#post-516702 I applied Molykot...

Last post on this just to close it all out. I received a replacement from Amazon and the second unit was able to reach 100% charge. I then ran the no-battery test again and while I got an extra whirr out of the starter, there still wasn't enough oomph to start the car sans battery. I'm...

That's the rod end or heim joint. Fran can tell you what the part number is, they're available from Pegasus or possibly Aurora directly/through a distributor. I think at one point I may have come across a post from CamM with the rod end part number (they've changed over the years). It looks...

I did a fair amount of research before pulling the trigger on my 4 post. When it came to single post lifts the only company I was willing to look at was the AC lifts one. https://aclifts.com/lifts/m-1-single-post-car-lift/ Some more reading here if you’re interested in my thought process. I...

I did some torture testing with the NOCO. I could only get it charged up to somewhere between 75-100% but never full. I ran my battery down (optima yellow top) to 9.5V (as measured at the battery) and verified the car wouldn’t start. I then turned on my radiator fans, HVAC blower (max)...

I meant to get back to this thread to update with my experience. I’m taking a multi-front battle against this stalling issue. I finally have the car driving and idling more like an oem car, feels great not having to watch and listen to engine rpm on the chance I might have to hit the gas to...

I'll say one thing for NOCO's customer service - they're exceptionally prompt with email responses. I've been getting responses from their tech folks within 24 hrs of me sending them a question and they've been really forward with information and troubleshooting help. They've offered to have...

Thanks for following up Randy. Yeah, I'm still scratching my head a bit on this NOCO unit; it's performance has been unlike the video. It may be too unreasonable for me to expect it'll start my car with the battery totally disconnected but I expected something better than the tiny whir I got...

I’m a big fan of the QuickJack. You can store it vertically strapped against the wall if you need to get it out of the way. Or just drive over them ;) I keep mine stored on the floor, between the 2 ramps of my 4 post. I store the SLC on the 4 post and drive my daily right over the quick...

Did you watch the video I linked above? In it, they start a car multiple times while having the battery completely disconnected from the electrical system. The leads on this NOCO GB70 are about as thick as any standard set of jumper cables that I’ve seen.

You've had the car for quite a while and it seems like it's been working for you. If you're going to be redoing the fuel system you might want to consider adding a surge tank to protect yourself from fuel starvation issues. Then again, you've had the car for quite a while now and haven't had...

One of the things I’m trying to chase is whether these battery packs should have more than 12V. The manual states 12V/15A as its output rating. It’s advertised as peak 2000A but I assume that’s instantaneous and only lasts for a fraction of a second, marketing gimmick. For those with these...

It worked quite well actually. The dip is fairly resilient - in fact a portion of my front bumper area is a mix between conventional paint and dip. I've taken a couple of rock hits and have chipping on the paint but the dip areas look fine. I guess it depends on what you're scratching it with...

This NOCO unit has that safety as well but you can bypass it in case of a completely dead battery. Do you know what your unit reads when it is fully charged? I suspect my unit may be a dud as it isn’t able to hit 100% charge. Trying to troubleshoot with NOCO but working multiple possible error...

I purchased one of these NOCO GB70 units with the idea I could carry it around with me in the SLC in case I needed a little extra juice to jump start the car...

Aaaah, it seems like an uphill battle these days. I was able to get a little more clarity regarding the issue I had last week during my canyon run with the local Audi group. It's highly likely I've got some kind of voltage draw issue during startup that's causing my system voltage to drop too...
