Russell fitting has been replaced. Test drive with Mrs.Force tomorrow. Hoping for no leaks *fingers crossed*
|
So I took the Z out to test the new fitting. I just got on the highway and caught a rock from a passing vehicle....
https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.n...3fba2b41cd8d37 While on our drive Mrs.Force called the glass shop. They said they would have a new windshield ready at 2pm. On the way there I came up on this... I can't say what happened next... https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...07854147_n.jpg Next the monkeys at the glass shop... Let me put it to you this way, they are getting me another windshield. Top before, bottom after. Also notice the defect on the edge of the glass. I think they installed the weatherstrip upside down. I will be inspecting the glass and weatherstrip before the next installation. Something they should have done this time. https://scontent-b-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/...67430165_n.jpg When I finally got home I checked the new fitting. It's leaking too. FFS. I am going to make a new hose, the new one will be a half inch longer. Shouldn't make a difference as the hose I have on there now isn't stressed. It's the only other thing I can think of doing. Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrghhh!!!!!!!! |

I don't seek out a race, but if they come at me, it's on! Too bad that never seems to happen on the routes that I take. The FL anti-racing laws seemed to have really toned down the other drivers. |

Would you guys have them fix it, even if it doesn't leak? Our cars are so loud that I have no idea if there is any additional wind noise. |
Well, the photoshoot from earlier in the week was great. We are forbidden to show any shots until after the feature comes out. But... we did get some footage from a GoPro Hero on a DJI RC Drone that we are able to show. It's short but gets the point across.

Bottom line, it's not right, I'm not happy with it. They are getting another windshield and redoing it on their dime. |
Poor little Porsche hahaha!! :tup: MR. Gale
Damn i hope you can resolve the problem with the windshield |
Quote:
It will get resolved one way or another. |
I swear I have the exact same crack on my windshield. Even the way it curves down and just just stops. But up here in this dirty part of the country with oil field trucks on all the roadways its just something you cannot get around unfortunately, especially with a DD.

Hope they get it right the 2nd time. |
I've been chasing an oil leak for a while. I replaced the old fittings and hose with new Russell Performance hose and fittings thinking a better quality fittings would be the answer. I still have a leak, always the same spot. I have used three new fittings trying to fix the leak and just today lengthened the hose and used two new fitting on each end as a just in case. Still leaking.
It leaks at the swivel, NOT at the threads. Suggestions? http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/...psrfqvkc6y.jpg |
Bottom one?
|
Top one. It's hard to see but there is a drip of oil there.

Mines the bottom one. I was thinking the sway bar was making contact.
|
I'm surprised at the amount of trouble with these. knocking on wood.

I think the sway bar hits the hose not the fitting

Do you guys know if the threads on the oil filter relocation block are NPT?

|
Yes please. That would save me a bunch of work.
Is it the same as the greddy fittings? |
|
That's what Sasha sent me
|
Perfect. Thank you :tiphat:
|
Hopefully I can limp the car to Z-Fest and back home tomorrow. I'll order the parts tonight, receive them next week. :ugh2:
|
Doesn't look like you are leaking much. I didn't replace those fittings cuz I'm not leaking there

For the time being, I put my original hose back on but swapped ends so I could see if the leak moves. I doubt it will but it's one more thing to try. Thank you for your help Sir :tiphat: |
