Default radiator plug is stripped

how much of a problem can this be for my cooling system. its leaking slightly. a few drips per hour type thing. but still not tightening all the way

i can only tighten it so far and then it jsut keeps turning and turning without getting any tighter. some of the threads on that stupid plastic plug are stripped off im guessing.

`Try a thick coating of teflon thread tape. Or silicone on both sides of the threads.

damn that means i have to take it out though, and that means draining the coolant again.

hey buddy

theres no good excuse to be up at this hour lol.
it's no biggie on the plug, you can have a new one in about.. 3 days.

does it look like this by any chance?

if not get in touch with sunset porsche..

anyways besides that thanks for shippin the rollers out, i'm gonna send you some sweet vintage crap when i get home. did you do anything for st pattys? its like a huge huge deal out here, everyone started drinking sometime after class, things got interesting at 5 and blurry at 8 haha.. at one point i realized i was in the basement of a frat house grinding with a japanese exchange student (hot) and chatting up a super hot brunette while they both kinda gave each other dirty looks.. it was awesome!! I ended up swiping a mattress from the girl's wing at 4 in the morning.. you do strange things in college.

got those taillights in? pics pics pics..

holla back youngin

sure here you go...





in this last pic you can see how much doing the eccentric bolts on just one side of the car effects it. the passenger side really dropped a bit.

the little camera on my phone just doesnt do justice, these lights look awesome. ill get some nicer pics durring the day with my real camera.

i hope this pleases your need for pictures.
