Betty White, the now not so neglected race car

[HRH]

Now I'm checking with Microsoft Edge, same issue. And interestingly enough, there's no link to postimages at the bottom of the form box.

[HRH]

And then if I click that hyperlink, I get this:




And now it's working from chrome again.

[HRH]

Hmm, okay, now this time add image to post popped up on Edge, trying it from this screen again.

That's the error warning if I click on the hyperlink. I'm wondering if I do have some virus hanging around. So far this is the only thing it's seem to have affected.

[HRH]

Well I just downloaded avast and scanned and allegedly nothing. Did the same thing for the phone. I don't know what's going on, but I'm going to sleep.

[wayno]

My photos are where they are supposed to be, but Photolame is threatening me again, I expect them photos will be lost soon.

How are you uploading these? they display the same... from the same source. Only thing I can think of is that somehow there is a HTTP vs HTTPS issue going on. Like 3 years ago all browsers started demanding HTTPS, and throwing security alerts for anything else...


Is the the only site where it happening? Based on the error, I suspect there is a certificate that is broken/ out of date on your system. Make sure all updates are applied for browsers and computer...

[HRH]

I'm just clicking the "add image to post" link below the form field. Can either upload them from the phone or upload them from the laptop. It's odd when I access the site via either one, I keep getting these issues. I just uninstalled the last MS security update to see if that helped. No change.

[HRH]

Yep, at work now, on this computer I can see everything. I left Windows updates downloading before I left. Hopefully that will fix something. Still doesn't explain why I can't see it on my phone, although my phone is old as the hills. Maybe it's just too old?

[Laecaon]

Have you tried it on your phone when not at home?

[HRH]

I haven't, but let me disconnect from the home network and try it. Oh ho! Laecaon, you smart son of a bitch! Yep, disconnect from my network and it shows up. So that must mean it's something in my router settings? Or something?

[Laecaon]

Router, or internet service. Kinda odd. Routers dont usually just have issues. You could try logging into it and check for updates. You could also call your ISP to see if there are any issues on their end.

[HRH]

Yeah, I just reset the router, no change. I'll patch into it here in a minute and see if anything is out of whack.

[HRH]

I screwed around with the settings, can't make it any better. Good news is I'm pretty sure it's not a virus, so I'm comfortable ignoring it for now. Just finished writing up all the particulars on the Z car in preparation for dropping it off at Hank's for dyno tuning tomorrow. Hoping it works and I don't have a 1000 bill.

[HRH]

Well today was a good end of the month. Or rather a good end to the working month anyway. The Z car was on the dyno yesterdayand I hadn't heard anything by 3:00 and I was getting worried and it turned out Hank had dyno issues and a couple other things. Short of it is the car had to be kept over into today for further tuning.

I'm very pleased to say that even with my hodgepodge of crap it managed to actually get tuned and work surprisingly well. Hank was quite surprised too. It's not perfect but for a race car it's not bad. Ended up making 233 horsepower and 228 ft pounds of torque roughly. At least I think that's what on the picture I'm going to post shortly. It definitely drops off after 5500 due to the cylinder head choice and the turbo but other than that runs out pretty well. Definitely a good day. No issues on the dyno and it looks like I finally will be able to start using the car.

[HRH]

Alright, got the rest of the stuff finished. Got the old crappy alternator I had from the donor car that I swapped in while I was troubleshooting the alternator light, removed. I put in the old alternator from the wagon, which of course worked fine. Then I ended up putting the rear three-quarter inch spacers I got from MSA on. I would have done a different setup but being this car was a chump car everything was done within the rules so to speak. meaning there are no fancy coilovers just custom springs and a hacked together original upper and lower amount. Consequently I got a spacer for the top of the strut tower which raises the rear height by 3/4 of an inch which is about perfect. It's still too low but it does give me a little more clearance before the exhaust pipe whacks something.

[HRH]

[Laecaon]

Definitely looks like a better, more sporting ride height.

[HRH]

Dammit. Uploaded an extension. Allows me to get to postimage, but still can't see the pictures on my home computer. I'll fiddle with it later.

Yes, Laecaon, it's much better now. It would be better another inch up overall, but for a race car it's perfect. However, I'm going to be screwing around on the street during testing and autocross pavement is not a race track by any means. But for now, I think it will work.

[HRH]

So I finally got my computer sorted. It was a setting in chrome for unsecure websites to block them. Turn that off and I can access post image again. I still don't know why the security certificate is all pissed off but whatever don't care.

Oh and I took the z card for a drive yesterday and made it about 2 miles and then adjusted one little thing and a car at a real hard time starting again. so I called my buddy Mitch because the wife was asleep and didn't answer her phone which was dead anyway and which drove me back down to the house to get the box van and car trailer. Pretty sure I have an ignition module issue. I was able to drive it onto the trailer after it cooled down and I had to wind it up but once it was in the top RPM it would actually run. as far as I although it would sit there and spit and pop and go back and forth like the cam was huge. Any throttle input was useless.

The good news is I know that msd6al I have works and I never did take it out of the car so I'm thinking I'm going to wire that in with the boost controller and ditch the GM HEI unit. I put that on after I was troubleshooting so long ago to get the motec to work.
