Had to start and run my car to charge the battery.
Since I don't go anywhere much, I need to do this once a week.
It charges it better if you leave it running with the headlights on too.. they do it at my work all the time with cars that have had a dead battery, works really well too. Sorry if you already knew...

took a kia stinger to gapplebees from a 65 roll. wish I had my a go pro handy. I thought those things were fast, I guess not. Probably was just the 2.0T not the 3.3TT

All about power to weight.. they might have an ok amount of horsepower but it's not fast if it's got a heap of weight to lug along. I hate big cars full stop..

Why?
It starts just fine once a week.
Besides running the engine gets the fluids flowing as well.
These chargers/maintainers supposedly prolong the battery life by avoiding swings in charge states. Avoids contributing to the carbon dioxide issues as a bonus.

That's OK,
I run it in a closed garage to prevent the CO2 from escaping into the atmosphere.

And of course the statement above is from someone using a catless downpipe.

Hey - do as I say, not as I do. Precisely for this reason, I need others to do the right thing. Offset my carbon footprint. Be careful with your hermetically sealed garage...

Adjusted the shifter cable as I was having trouble shifting in 1,2 and 3rd.Felt much better after the adjustment.Will see how it does early in the am when its a little cold out.
How difficult was it to adjust the shifter cable? Did you use a guide to adjust cables?

A little pita as there is not much room.I only took the intake pipe and the plastic piece on the side of the battery out.Also like few people had said to be careful about the plastic clip as its very flimsy and I broke one side but not both,and it stood in its place and I was able to put it in 4th and then lock it in Place.Phew.

Also, if space is a problem you could take out the battery and battery box like I did. I did that for my short shift kit. Helped a lot!
