Every inboard I have owned was vented with basically snorkels from the factory and also had a small blower that you are supposed to turn on before cranking (I normally let it run for about a couple minutes).
I can't believe your PC guy turns parts around that quick, I don't know what Im more impressed with his turn around time or how fast you got it put back together, well done.
We went to Gatlinburg earlier this year and took my daughter's boyfriend and he summed it up the best I have heard ( its the main drag at the beach in the mountains) lol.
I basically had a junk yard buy the car for the drivetrain somewhere around 06 and the guy insisted I take the seats because he didn't want to deal with them (( said you already paid for them lol))-- put the drivetrain in a fox
I had my local guys recover these and make the snakes about 20 or 30% bigger in my opinion they turned out great considering they came out of a junk yard in a convertible car with a busted up top, I wanted to take the mystic seats out was the reason for it.
Edit: In case you haven't already got...
I made it to halftime thinking they had it in the bag and woke up to check scores thinking what happen. Side note I feel obligated to pull for them since my kiddo is there lol.
I thought Texas would have their number this go around, a lot better game for sure, glad my dawgs pulled it out. BTW very impressive to be in the game first season in the conference, who knows we may end up playing for a third time this year.
They have looked good in the couple games I have seen but take it with a grain of salt considering their conference isn't that strong this year. I guess we will see Saturday, in my opinion Clemson probably has 1 of the strongest defenses in the conference.
Curious, after install pics (were you able to hide the amp)and maybe a pinout, also did the amp you decided to go with did you end up having to swap the speakers out?
I have a standalone garage that has 2 cameras on it from the 7 I installed, buried it in PVC and also ran a extra cable In case something happen so if you have a run that's a PITA to run you may want to think about going ahead and pulling a extra cable in.
Quick search if you didn't think of a doorbell camera ( I'm sure you did but throwing it out there) they are pretty cheap, you could add it to view the front door. I use mine to know weather or not to answer the door when someone rings it. Side note they offer 3 different types, battery, POE...
I have both I prefer the clickers also, mainly use a digital if doing TTY head bolts its nice having it keep up with how many degrees in a tight spot where you keep having to back up.
1 of the guys at work has 1, it works fine but does something stupid like cut off after it reaches the set TRQ spec, but other than that it works fine just causes you to waste more time resetting. Not sure this is a common thing with it maybe he just got a screwy one.
