Now I can resume breaking in my clutch and adding some good ol' cosmetics.

I feel your pain. I put 180 miles on mine before it spent two weeks being repaired due to owner error.

Sure is great to have it back! Congrats!

I put some 175 miles on mine and then had to put it in the shop because of the tensioner. I'm still babying my clutch for sure

So I put on my Grimmspeed plate relocator,but I also painted the silver steering wheel trim. I thought it was a really good idea at first,but now I'm not sure if I like it or not.Used Duplicolor Custom Wrap and a matte spray finish,so if I do get tired of it,I can always peel it off without a problem.

My coolant was a little low (it was on the Low line) so I had to get butt-raped and buy some OEM coolant. The blue shit is expensive! Holy moly!

The parts guy put it down and said wow that's expensive- what is it made of gold or something?

Got me some climate knob covers on ebay for bout $50 from Metal Cutting Experty. These guys have the most experty of anyone in the business.

They do actually seem to fit well, look good(pick is in the dark), price was good, and they came in a hard case like a necklace would packed in foam. Well played China

Well, guybo, since you are living in the southland, you COULD have just added some distilled or deionized water to top it off.

However, now that you have a whole gallon (minus a cup or two), you could re-package it and sell it in one quart quantities (3) for half the price you paid for the gallon. Of course, you would add shipping and handling.

Now, if that "works", you have the makings for a cottage business ......

guybo · 08-20-2016, 02:34 PM

Yeah, I should have added distilled water, you're right. It looked like it needed a lot more than it actually did. I added a little and I was like damn, that was a waste. Well, at least I have a gallon of the stuff for the future.
