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

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...

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.

These tags indicate you're used to getting splattered with fluids . 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.

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

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

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.
