What did you do to your Blackwing today?

The mechanics friend, the BFH (block of wood optional)!

Easiest way to tell if anything is loose. Just smack it with a hammer

Yes, yes percussive maintenance. The only tried and true method of engineering. #smackitsmackitintheclub

I was going to ask, but...a north Jersey psychologist with a twisted sense of humor?

@dribs15 will be arriving here shortly, he just has to affix his yarmulke.

... you rang?!

Let’s get this thread back on track. I went and saw it sitting on a lift waiting for the new motor to get in it

That PCV vented directly into the blower is the dumbest thing in the world. Gets oil into the blower and gunks up the cooling bricks.

I bought the red controller tho and only opens/closer fully. Need to switch to the normal black ones to be able to adjust how open they are.

Also, have it fully open and the muffler fully open, makes the off throttle burble note a lot more pronounced.

Very nicely done!

I bought pedal extenders for my wife lol.

I took her out for a lesson on driving stick, and she couldnt comfortably FULLY depress the clutch. She is at the bottom of the ergonomics scale at 5'0.

She said she actually had fun and we should keep up with the lessons.

Gave my bw a car wash today. First time I've washed a car myself in many years.

Pulled the wheels, cleaned and did a ceramic coating on the brake caliper (carefully) and the wheels. Applied some copper anti-size to the wheel lug studs and swapped out the standard chrome capped lug nuts for the black chrome GM parts.

Today I fixed my CF1 splitter scrapes. It has 5" of ground clearance at the two bend points towards the side of the car and 5.5" in the middle. But that won't clear with a tow on a hook at 248 miles on the clock. (Dead BCM) I just sanded the scraped portions and added these: SLiPLO Universal Bumper Guard Scrape Skid Plate Protector Kit

There was a company that made Protekt plates for cars in higher volumes that I used for the C7Z splitter, but they don't yet make them for our cars. I found these and they are easy to install and appear to work well. I only used two of the eight supplied pieces in one carton. I used a full piece on the center and half pieces at each bend.

Weld beads are clean, video of the exhaust "burble" would be cool.

I bought the same mirror one OldGoat as you did, but didn’t see the under the door ones listed in the CT5 section. That and a rear Cadillac badge arriving today, so getting excited in updating my badges this weekend.
