Happy Tuesday everyone :hello:

Golf scheduled this afternoon :woot:

Drained coolant last night. What a freakin' mess. Even with an extension hose it came out with such force that it splattered everywhere as soon as it hit the pan. Anyone have a recommendation regarding the water drain plugs on the engine block? Worth trying to get to them to remove them for additional drainage or no?

At a tipping point with the wire tuck. Trying to decide how far to go. Might forgo anything under the cowls - can't see it anyway. Loom is scheduled to arrive today :tup:

morning gents :hello:

Treat it as 'play money', it's not real until you sell it. I was always told "the market goes up, the market goes down, and you never lose money until you sell and confirm the loss."

I have bought bitcoin and some other crypto over the years. I had just over .5 bitcoin when it hit it's high point, I sold enough to pay for the closing costs on my house and I still have some left. My total crypto holdings got as high as $1500, and as low as $300 recently...:eek:

I'm still hodl'ing it, because I only have about $300 USD invested across the whole spectrum, so right now it's 'play money'. I've made my money back. :tup:

Coming later today

These tags indicate you're used to getting splattered with fluids :tiphat: . Gotta use a 5 gallon bucket. If you have the OEM oil "cooler" you'll need to pull those hoses to get good angles for removing the oil pan.

For the loom/tuck. You can run the starter wire around the upper back of the motor, in front of the cowling. The two grounding wires you can attach to lower mount holes on the block and hook up to the chassis wherever.

I reloomed all wiring outside of the cowling. Where the wires pass through the grommets in the battery/brake fluid cubbies, keep the stock loom up until a little past the grommet. Otherwise you'll have sealant issues.

Usually i only take the plugs out when i have to pull the engine.Makes for a little bit less of a mess.

Kevin is going to install new motor mounts, so I'll let him make that decision.

Only in the mouth :yum:

Thought about a bucket; just didn't haven't one available I was willing to put used coolant in.

:tiphat: I have a number of grounding wires that I plan to relocate.

Like the grommets by the LH/RH coilover perch? What kind of sealant issues? I was hoping to run the new loom on those at least partially into the battery/brake compartment. Wonder if some high temp fabric gasket I have would work.

Ordered new front rotors and pads for the Lexus. I have been trying to wear down the inherited pad deposits on the rotors and it's definitely gotten better. But the shuddering during any hard braking over about 50 mph is embarrassing when I have guests in the car.

The front rotors and pads for the Lexus cost less than a set of rear track pads for the Z.

This time of the morning.............SLEEPING!

Be careful for what you wish for. :rofl2:

I don't recommend using Paypal to sell anything. Why??? because you can sell a puppy and the buyer can dispute it. Meanwhile, you will be out the money and the puppy. So they can steal the puppy from you and paypal will side in their favor. I am done with Paypal. On top of that, you can send a picture of the puppies AKC papers with the numbers blocked out. They can still somehow register the puppy. Freaking thieves in the world today. I am mad as hell.

That fvckin' sucks! :mad:

Yeap, the buyer was pushing to use Paypal. That is something we don't normally do since we had another issue a while back. She had done this before. Stupid thief lives in Delaware. I just want to beat a thief with a shovel and do the world a favor. So the witch ended up with a 2500 dollar puppy with papers for free. Paypal sucks. She only paid pet price of 1300. Which it looks like we are going to be out everything.

I"ve had my issues with paypal too years ago. Lost about 4 grand on engine parts.

Sorry man, that is ******-up!!!

Yeap, makes me wonder what I did to deserve this crap. If this keeps up I am gonna end up in the funny farm.

The thief got an IG/Fakebook/name? Social media shaming is a thing...:ugh2:

So are midnight runs....;)

It seems to me that if the dog is chipped, you could report it as stolen. I'm not sure Delaware police would pursue the case, but the ID shows up at vet's offices that check for chipped dogs.

Yes, but I will go about it the right way. Small claims court. Still waiting on Paypal to decide but it is not looking good.

The wife only chips them if the buyer wants them chipped. Ours breeders are chipped.

We got Mia chipped after we got her from Spooler.

Has she won your heart yet by getting up in the recliner with you for some Lazyboy Livin?

Morning all, just checking. I'm still alive lol work just gotten a bit busy. Thanks to Hotrodz I've been keeping an eye out for V1 Nismo bumpers. Thinking I'll either go OEM base bumper or OEM V1 Nismo bumper.

Sheesh sorry to hear that. There's some awful people out there. Luckily I haven't had any issues with Paypal yet.

Yes there are. This lady had done this before. It was obvious. May she rot in hell.

LMAO, I am always here to help you spend your hard earned cash!
