Jaime.. looks good. wish I knew how to weld.

Wachuko

yeah, me too,

This part of the project is done... installing the heater pipes tonight.

hawk911

i think you should send me that heater bypass too. Doesn't look good all that CF on a red car. It would look much better on my black car.

ok- hijack in progress..... so what do I gain/lose by doing the heater bypass pipe and dumping the blower motor?

Cleaner looking engine compartment, lose a few pounds (5 lbs.?), one less motor to worry about. You still have some heat, but I'd keep it on in your case. You can enjoy more top down driving with the heat blasting and you live wwwwaaaay up North.

I think I will do the heater blower bypass... the lowest it gets here in winter is around 14C. During summer its not unusual for the temp to climb over 50C. My AC is barely keeping up

Amroth

btw Wachuko your welding mask is

Wachuko

Installing everything back and taking the car to a friend's house to store it there while I finish the Fiat...



It will be awhile until I save the $funds to repair the transmission...

Shifting issues

DWS964

Sorry to hear about the tran$mi$$ion.

I wish my cars looked that clean underneath. I guess if I didn't drive the snot out of them year-round...
Anyway, I noticed the fresh looking camber plate (or whatever they are called) on the trailing arm. I may need to replace mine - how bad was that job to do? any details/suggestions?

Wachuko

Not new... only clean So not sure what it takes to replace that...

Only items new (and changed a year or so ago) are the shocks...

And, just to be clear... daily driver while it was working fine... hehehehehehe... at least at first... now it sits...

Dwane

Hey Jamie where have you been?
Finished the SC?

Wachuko

Go ahead, put some salt in the wound...

I went from zero to platinum with American Airlines... not counting the flights with United or Lufthansa... all projects were put on hold...

I got a few weeks before I get on a plane again and head for India. So the plan is to take the 964 to my friend's house, bring the FIAT that is parked there. I have all the parts for the Fiat to finish it.

So the SC waits...

Dwane

Glad to see you're still around...You need to check in a little more often!
