Yep. Wasn't really holding them for him because if someone else had come along with the money, I would have sold to them. He wanted them shipped to Delaware.

I've got a local buyer, so it's all good. :tup:

Cafe Kubal here would be the closest thing.

Ive never heard of Cafe Kubal, Ill have to try it

Glad to hear that! I was gonna bump up that thread with another Swift pic, but since I cant, Ill spam here with roadster porn.. :driving:

stupid people... glad you found a local buyer... shipping is a hassle lol

Can’t say I have tried it. We have a small local store that I get all my crap from.

Speaking of the devil... got a bunch of bubble wrap for your stuff. I put the bubble wrap in your box so we are making some headway :icon17:

Wish I was there! I’m always up for a good time with great people. :tup:

I will send you money on Wednesday :tiphat:

No rush on your end though.

Fuuuuck, now i'll probably send it out Tuesday. :icon17: As always there is no rush for payment either, whenever it happens is cool.

Sun is out. Time for an oil change and figure out where the oil leak is coming from. I have a suspicion its from the lines to the thermostat plate. have a great day all

Thread locked. :(

probably for the best.

What blows my mind is the thread was locked by a moderator. Those exist?

Leak or drip or mist?

My fitting have a slow mist that just wont stop. Ended up ordering all new Aeroquip hoses and fittings yesterday, hoping to fix this problem once and for all.

Not sure. I just noticed a couple oil spots that my neighbor pointed out. My last oil change I didnt see oil everywhere, which wouldve pointed to Mist. Could be the plug or the at the filter. Which oil cooler kit do you have?

Z1. I've bought a new o-ring for the therm plate, replaced the fittings and hose ends, trimmed the hoses, and never got it to stop. Finally said F it I'll replace everything.

My dos centavos, if you're misting it's probably from an interior gasket on one of the swivel fittings.

That's chitty. :shakes head:

No clue. Seen the words, read the definition and thought it would make a great WOTD.

See, I'm increasing your knowledge. :tup:

You need to try the monkey chit coffee. It's the worlds most $$$$$ coffee. Kopi luwak.

Bucket list..... LOL

If the leak is coming from where the fitting screws into the plate (the tapered pipe thread). Two things you can use on the threads. A couple wraps of teflon pipe tape, or teflon pipe dope (paste). You never want to put anything on the taper of the fitting and the straight threads where the hose screws on.

I found it. The bottom line fitting was loose. Must've jarred loose from all the banging I did on the subframe..lol

Ooopss... just spent the money on something else. So double no rush on your end ;)

Did you ever hear back from Joe on the diff? Competitive pricing? I'm gonna be ordering clutch and other stuff from him next week :D

Oil leak fixed. Oil changed diff gear oil changed.. time to shower then enjoy my hard work with a drive down the coast with the top down...

This time next weekend, I'll either be driving home with new brakes and hood vents, or old brakes and a missing hood.

If you're going with the Z1 Premium lines, make sure you have the proper hardlines front and back and also the hardline brackets for the rear. I researched the upgrade for a while and didnt see anywhere that mentioned both of those things.took forever to order those part as I realized I needed more parts

Nope. Skipped the premiums and just got the Z1 SS lines. More slack and less points of failures.

If Mr. Rusty allows me on his wifi, I can stream the hood cutting moments just like the demon bolt removal from last year.

I told him I wasn’t in a rush and to let me know when he got it all squared away.
Hit him up, he has fast response times. :tup:

Ew earned his storage of the Z. Helped me move bandsaws and other heavy *** crap back downstairs. Made ribs in sous vide bath; 165f for 6 hours. They needed a bit more bath time I think. The turned out edible though.

I’ll still try to ship it out this week as I have a dr appointment during one of the days

I'm accustomed to 8 hrs in a bath. But I also cold smoke for 2 hrs beforehand.

I’ll take a nice cold Mt dew, thank you.

7-8 hours seems to be the sweet spot. We got done a little bit early and I was hungry/tired/grumpy so we made do. It wasnt terrible but not amazing.

You need to soak the brake lines where the new hoses will connect to with BP Blaster. The last thing we need is a frozen brake line nut. :tup:

I’d agree about 8 hrs is about right.

I will not be selling the Stillen brake duct kit. Found out a few things and will be using the Stillen backing plates again.

I did the driver side with the stock plate. Found out that it flexed a lot when turning the steering wheel to the left. The 3" hose would push the plate into the rotor. The stock backing plate is .032" thick and has an offset of 3/16". The Stillen backing plate is .039" thick and an offset of 5/16". So the Stillen plate is 1/8" farther away from the rotor and is a little stiffer. So I modding the Stillen plates for the 3" hose. :tup:

Got some more work outside done today & Looking to come off some bills this upcoming week for a new “Rabbit-Hole”.....:wtf2:

Cold smoke what :ugh2:

How I make bacon. Of course you can only do it for 3-4 months of the year in Texas.
