You guys don't understand. When you have ambitious goals, you have to be ok with setbacks.

Talk to Eric. He might be able to do something for you. You don't need anything fancy. Just a nice low drag, reliable, and properly fitting alternator.

Lemme send you my map. It took me 15 minutes to do the fuel but i know there are lots of issues like rescaling. Tuning opensource is actually WAY harder than hydra or any standalone. Very obtuse.
made a crapton of changes to it.
LMK how you like it.

I think that purple is a bit different tint than your purple, i say you send it back and ask for a lighter one.

to be fair, failflora's oil cap was leaking-which is why he replaced it.
