He probably swerved to avoid a squirrel or pothole or some stupid shít :bowrofl:

I see an awful lot of people swerving to miss squirrels, rabbits and other small woodland creatures. Those people need to take the bus....:shakes head::shakes head:

I'll make a controlled evasive maneuver occasionally to avoid them. But I'm not about to risk losing control and wrecking my car just so a fuckin rodent can live only to run right back into the road and be killed by another car.

Had the cops after someone last night. Siren's blaring. Normally I will find out where the neighborhood pack of coyotes are. Not last night. I get a Wolf howling at the back of my property. Just one. I have seen him once before a couple of years ago.

Been a long time since I’ve had a stock intake or even the GEN3 Stillen, but I think you just pull the PCV box and connect the intake tube directly to the crank case with the Z1 silicone hose.

That's what it looks like from the photos I cna see online. When we originally installed the CAI's, we left the baffles in place and just cut the pcv hoses into 1 inch sections and ran side-by-side from CAI to baffle. It worked, but doesn't look to good and the hoses are starting to slip now after a few years.

Regardless, I've never had issue with silicone hoses when I use a bit of PBlaster silicone spray on whatever I'm attaching the hose to.

I’m not sure what you are referring to but with the turbo install I removed most of the unnecessary hoses from the engine bay. I don’t have any of the throttle body coolant lines or even the assembly behind the throttle body any more.

FYI...The G and Z are identical from the radiator back. The only differences lie in interferences with the difference in bumpers.

They are just metal pipes. Get em powdered coated and they will be new again.

Want me to ship them to your house to experiment with? I don't have any local places that PC around here. Closest is Buffalo which is 3 hrs away.

Might be able to fit them in it. Still haven't built a hood for it yet.

I'd be happy to coat them for you Lien if they fit in the oven.

:hello:

Been playing phone tag with CVS over wifey's second covid test, work, and doctor's office. :shakes head:

It's been over a week for since wifey took her 2nd test with CVS. No results yet. Can't get a hold of everyone. :shakes head:

Called work about going back to work. Hate our phone system. It give you the run around. :shakes head: Finally got ahold of a manger. Said that if I have no symptoms for the 2 weeks, and the doctor says I don't need a 2nd test. I can go back to work.

Called the doctor's office. Got put on hold a couple of different times. Finally talked to the doc. He cleared me for work. :tup:

Called work again. F$%^kin' phone system. Talked to the Manger. I'm clear to start work on Monday. :tup:

Checked my schedule for next week. I'm off Monday and Tuesday, work 6am to 2:30pm Wed, Thur, and Fri.

Nah. Straight black. Whatever is easiest. Engine bay has a red/black motif going on. Not going to stray from that. Maybe PC the couplers red, but that may just seem tacky.

Is that the RP diff brace that Rusty then modifies?

I have some wrinkle black on hand but not sure how well that would work. Might be a pain to clean :ugh2:

I need to get some powder ordered anyway. I have a gloss black in my list, it has some blue flake in it though.

I am getting some super chrome base so if you wanted something like lollypop red or a candy you'd only need a pound of top coat :tiphat:

I can send ya money for whatever black you'd find best to work with. I'd try a red color, but the intakes are so dinged and dented that any light/med colors would still show all the imperfections. Black would at least hide some of them.
