  1. Audio Head Unit – lots of them 02

    For the first time in many years, enjoyed watching the F1 GP.

    Still some tyre managing period but changes in condition allowed the great driving skills on display that should be the case for all racing events.

  2. Audio Head Unit – lots of them 01

    Back to mechanical service mode now so aiming to finish updating the blog related to the electronics service.
    After posting this one, just need the one for the Gauge Cluster as serviced so many of them recently.

    By the way, due to recent dramatic change in temperature, please check your tyre pressure regularly.

    With not hard enough side-shoulder on AD08RS, somewhat downgraded compound and stiff Type-S suspension, didn’t enjoy driving recently.

    The Forum server seems to be much stable now although we are still rebooting it from time to time.
    In fact, just rebooted.

    Time to catching up with updating the blog.

    Was back to 100% mechanical service mode but then 50/50 between mechanical and electronics for awhile.
    Then, from the beginning of May, went back to 100% electronics.
    Should be back to mechanical service mode from next week.
