36032, Wish me luck. Posted by DR1665, Oct-02-08 01:51 PM
V and I leave for the rally in Prescott tomorrow morning at 0900hrs. I'd like to be driving the Galant up there for this thing. (It's never made it for whatever reason.)
Tonight I am picking up radiator fans from two different locations on my way home from work, trimming one, making custom radiator mounting brackets, getting an SRT4 FMIC to fit between the radiator and sidemembers, plumbing that intercooler with a mix of hose and ABS plastic piping from Home Depot, securing the battery (since the tray won't bolt down anymore due to repairs), installing a bumper skin, and installing a deck in the dash for music.
I test drove the car around the block last night. Let's home there's no shimmy or anything after all this hard work tonight...

Galant didn't make it. Spent three hours tracing wires and relays trying to get power to the fans. No point in hardwiring the fans to a switch at midnight, only to then have to plumb the IC, cap steering lines, and test drive it to make sure it's safe to drive.
Left it at home. Found another one in Prescott, though, which is near mint, for $2500 that the seller told me is mine if my other local Galant rally buddy doesn't snatch it up first. (Sorry Dan.)

Sorry, sir. Something was awry with the network. I got your message... over thirty times. Same with another message someone sent. I must have received the same two messages a total of 100+ times. I just shut the phone off after a while. FAIL.

T-Mo seems to be having some SMS issues. This isn't the first time I've heard of it this week.

glad to hear it's nearing completion, capping steering lines? in reference to the 4ws lines :D, have fun with those.
