    That's not nice. And he took a lot off when he went on keto.

  6. ChapmanF replied to the thread Hybrid battery cooling mod.

    He would indeed, but sometimes the comment he was responding to would have some, shall we say, non-technical content in it, and it was...

  7. ChapmanF replied to the thread Can I replace 1st generation battery cells with 2nd generation battery cells?.

    It would be even more precise to say module 37. :) Cell 37 would be, I think, be found at one end of module 7.

  8. ChapmanF replied to the thread v Five passenger door and hatch unlock for Three/Two.

    It's not that cut-n-dried. It isn't "never", and it isn't "always". Depending on what thing you're trying to retrofit, you just have to...

    Or if "say nothing" would mean being out of the conversation, you can also just stay in the conversation, but keep it about the topic,...

  10. ChapmanF replied to the thread Can I replace 1st generation battery cells with 2nd generation battery cells?.

  13. ChapmanF replied to the thread Speedometer discrepancy.

  14. ChapmanF replied to the thread What are the specs on the horn bolt?.

    You could bring an M6x1.0 and an M8x1.25 home from the hardware store, and toss whichever you don't use into the junk drawer for later.

  15. ChapmanF replied to the thread Rear wheel bearing.
