Good old PA salt and stone chips. No better way to rust out a car over a few years.

 

Since my car is finally running properly again, I thought I would reward it with a good old hand washing. It had been far too long. Hope chu bishes are enjoying the great weather.


I spent last night enjoying some lovely firkin NN. Had to get a ride home from TDR, brotha was in no shape to drive.

 

gonna wash the evo today with ONR

 

I'm washing mine tomorrow. Weather should still be good.

 

Sonax Wheel cleaner
brake pads are carbotech xp10 and drove in ctd and haven't washed them since then

turns purple to show its working

now pressure washer (no scrubbing)


washed the whole car with Optimum no-rinse wash.

 

Wish I had a car worth washing right now...

Big mess with antifreeze cause I wasn't draining brand new stuff to bypass heater core. Bad move, big f'in mess. Whatever got that done. Tried to remove my stupid catch can that is mounted half azz by pvc. Even though that is most effective spot to use these cc's. Neither can ever has anything in it. Whatever the dam bolts and nuts are killing me to remove it. I dropped a screw driver down the car where I have to remove this stupid catch can to reach it. So frustrating that every little thing is a problem. I know I am not the best mechanic but this car is a ball breaker. Also I do not know how mechanics do it, 10 minutes and my back was killing me. The position that you have to stand while working is so painful for me, between that and nothing going right anyways I just walked away. No care anymore tonight, will come at it tomorrow with a better attitude.


F ' it!

 

Mike, put it up high on four jack stands. It makes a huge difference. Plus anything that falls and gets stuff on the under panel, it's much easier to get under and get it out.

My car at its height is killer to lean over. Luckily I don't do much of my own work. Lol.

 

Also was thinking about my overheat problem and presurrized valve cover. Even if my temp sensor was bad (which I strongly believe its not but still have to test) that does not explain why my valve cover is so pressurized. No oil in antifreeze or smoke from exhaust like a normal blown head gasket has me total baffled. Someone else thought it was valves, why no simple answer with this car.
Funny today I took it to gym and beat on it a little. Thing was perfect with temperature, never came out of range. Its so bizarre cause it gets hot when I drive real easy or if I kick the heat on. The opposite of what you would think would cause the water temp to spike...

 

Spent the day at big boulder skiing with the boys. Good times.

You bishes washing your cars got me jelly. Imma do that tomorrow, she needs it bad, I still have adhesive resedue from from track stickers last year.

 

had a blast at summit point today. weather was below freezing in the morning, still some now pile on the ground, and even a patch of ice at turn 3 where snow melt and there was a small stream running across the track at turn 3 the whole day. made things a little interesting. so much fun chasing tim and mhyar around in the s2k

ran 5 shessions today, could have ran 8 shessions if i wanted to

 

Just bring it to YBRD and have them look it over.

 

cool find bro.

Nice. I lub me some summit. Looked like you guys had decent weather.

What kinda times were you laying down? Tim's car really looked like it was moving. Did he install that SC?
