In my experience, IQ tests are pretty subjective as intelligence presents in a lot of ways.

I'm a fairly smart guy, but I've known people I'd consider more intelligent than me that score way lower than I do, and vice versa.  It's as much about how well you manage a test as it is about how intelligent you are.

Mensa reminds me of the "Honor Society" in high school.  Join this to put on applications/resumes/brag to people.   I stopped caring whether people thought I was smart a long time ago.  I'll let my work speak for itself, you can interpret it however you like.

It's the "let's talk about how smart we are" group!

I always look forward to your posts. 

Congrats on the progress.   I think I'd have jumped higher when it popped in the video, haha.

As soon as I saw this post I assumed it must be Dan’s videos.  Haha.  Best explanation I’ve ever seen.   I was going to make a video when I finish my controller, but honestly, there is no need now.

Traveling this week/weekend for work and martial arts, so all I can do is plan and order parts.

I did get a bunch done last weekend, but it's wiring, so it's basically invisible, hah.   I am extending the ECU end of the harness (which was also damaged on my donor engine).   I want to put the ECU in the fender well like Aston did, and it was about 6" short, so I'm adding about 12" of length to the harness as well as pulling out all of the extra wiring, adding flex fuel, etc.   So far 2 of the 3 connectors are fully extended/replaced/re-pinned/tested, and I'm about 1/2 done with connector 3.   When that's done, I'll add the wiring to the harness for the intercooler pump power, relocate the MAP sensor, integrate power for the flex fuel sensor, etc.   Then add the interconnects to the chassis side.  Finally, I can retest it all one more time, and loom it up/install it on the engine. 

I think (operative word) that's the last thing that needs to have the engine out of the car to build.   I will need the torque tube out to do the shifter mounts, as they need relocated to properly align with the Aston opening/height, and adjust the length of the linkage.  In theory when that's finished, the whole drivetrain should be able to be final installed in the chassis, and I can start finalizing all of the installation and sort out the transmission mounts, fuel pump upgrade and half-shaft measurements.

So far, so good.

It's not stupid if it works.

I don't think anyone has done one yet.

In the "Well, that's cool" bucket:    I am on a couple of Aston groups on Facebook, and today someone from the Gaydon factory (where my Aston was built) messaged me offering help with electronics and such if I need it.   That's pretty darn cool, gotta love the internet.  :D

I'm working on the fuel system a little this weekend, along with the wiring.   I'm going to snake a hardline behind the blower, under the cowl, to shorten how much flexible line I have on the car.  It'll terminate in a bulkhead fitting above the passenger valve cover (basically opposite of where it exits stock).  The Aston feeds fuel on the passenger side, so this will let me run an ~18" soft line up from the hard lines (which will be 3/8 anodized aluminum with AN tube nuts) and make it easy to service.   I'm going to put the flex fuel sender behind the blower because it fits there and I'm tight on space in that area.  LOL

The hard line will terminate at the rear subframe, just like the Aston did stock, and I'll have a tee fitting with a port for a GM fuel pressure feed line sensor to keep the ECU and GM Fuel Pump Driver Module happy.   I'm going to PWM the fuel feed with an OEM controller just like GM did, albeit with a little bigger pump and an MSD booster to pull the voltage up a bit.   Should be plenty to keep the HPFP fed and let the direct injection work in a factory like manner.

Waiting on some parts, and ran out of welding gas (left my tank open and I have a very slow leak... whoops), so I'm working on wiring for a bit.

Have the main harness broken out, and about half cleaned up of extra circuits.   I created all of the spreadsheets for finishing the engine harness and I'm about 95% done sorting out how to integrate into the Aston chassis side.

I have a system I'm accustomed to, which you'll see in the spreadsheet screenshots below.   Just basic tables and color coding/connector labeling.   Trying to utilize stock wiring and connectors as much as possible, with just a few quick connects to the engine harness.   I'll also have quick connects on the heater hoses, fuel lines, etc, so that I can get the engine out quickly in the future if needed (hopefully, not needed often).
