mad titan sports in kodi on a firestick.
all the races.


As soon as they cooked that I was mad about it.

You got 30K+ worth of engine there, ALL the holley shit they'll give you and nobody put in a fuel pressure sensor and a warning/cut off?

fuck man. If I had that kind of money in an engine it would have all the shit I could stuff in it to make sure I didn't cook it.

I agree but I get it. He's got 5832 things going on at all times so shit gets overlooked easily.

Cleetus hired people to take care of the day to day stuff and to program his shit so he doesn't screw it up. Kevin has every last bit of tech stuffed into all of the cleeter fleet so it has a decent chance of survival if things go sideways.

Sometimes to make money you gotta spend it too or your shit will all fail.

I'd give a pass if it was the first go, but after he cooked the first one you'd think he would have told the guy tuning it to turn on all the protections. Didn't the first one die because of overboost?
they knew the fuel pressure at the end of the run, so obviously the Holley is logging it.
just set some basic fucking parameters in the holley to shut it off when it gets spicy, or at least retard the shit out of the igntion. Or just a flashing red holley dash screen.
something to let you know about the danger to manifold.

One? Yeah, haha, look how stupid he is. Two, ha...ha? This dude just able to throw 30k+ engines in a car twice a year? Ok, I guess . Three... Wtf is wrong with this dude. Four! Geezus fuck, what is wrong with you?
 
New show roadworthy rescues is out. I liked it, could definitely be a longer format but I understand its made for tv. Will be interesting to see where it goes. He didn't really do a long drive though more on the 'restoring it' than getting it running and driving.
 
Ride of Your Life with Courtney Hansen pretty much sucks. She's nice eye candy but the majority of the show is way too much talking/feel good banter and not much actual wrenching. I watched the first couple of episodes and won't be watching any more.

Oh. Never heard of it. And...that has no relation to how boring baseball is, so I still don't get the reference.

"If you think baseball is stupid and/or boring, then that just means you aren't smart enough to understand the strategic element that baseball players have." - Read somewhere on the internet.:flipoff2:

It premiere's tonight in my area of the world on suddenlink cable guess I'll watch it.
 
The new motor trend show with Derrick is good if you liked his YouTube show. It's basically exact the same with better production value. :smokin:

Im glad they didnt make him stop saying sparkolators or bring the thunder and shit like that. It would be funny if they used subtitles.
 
Newest HRG was a solid meh for me. Way too much time spent on the drift track vs turning wrenches IMO.
Was one of the few episodes I stopped early.
 
I was half ass watching that episode. Surprisingly the kid was walking by and saw Alex doing some wrenching and she stopped to watch. Ended up sitting down and watching the entire show (she normally doesn't GAF about car shows).
