    Default Commuting in my F1 car

    Just trying out my new camera. Sped up the video and now my Miata sounds like an F1 car.

    Almost sounds like a kids electric car coming off the line. Whats with the flashing lights on the dash though?

    You drive down 78 right past my work (Atlas Copco, the manufacturing plant on your right just south of Crist Road).

    I have a whole slew of lights going off on my dash. The flashing one happens to be the airbag light. Since this car is now mainly a track car I just took out my passenger air bag to save some weight and so that it won't deploy if I have a hard off. I haven't gotten up under the dash to pull the bulb or add a resistor yet. I'm open to thoughts from the forum world. The other two lights are the check engine and the battery. Check engine is that standard rear O2 sensor. Big injectors little cat. The battery light is perplexing since when I put a meter on my battery the alternator is charging 14.4-15.2. The green flashing lights are the blinkers.

    Altiain, I always wondered what that place was. What goes on there?

    It is the worldwide headquarters and primary manufacturing facility of Atlas Copco Drilling Solutions, a division of the Swedish conglomerate Atlas Copco. We build waterwell, shallow oil and gas, and surface mining mobile drilling machines. I work there as an engineer in new product development.
