Welcome to the IHoP v.2

[mikel7829 90]

Proud of my A/C restoration on the Camaro..Everything replaced,pulled a vacuum of around 500 microns held for 24hrs stable before I charged...4 days later pressure still maintains the same reading after charged..Icicle cold from the vents..

Humpday

My face is getting humped by a petite blonde tonight.

 

 

Cool. What's his name?

 

That is dirty!!

Finally get to go HOME

[Adrian_D 520]

 

 

 

 

June trip is booked. Going to visit Krawow, Auschwitz, Prague, Bratislava and Vienna.

 

Sounds like fun.

Auschwitz is a serious mind fuck. You will NEVER forget it.

 

We have a hotel room booked in the nearby town. So we have a full day of visiting planned for it. 

I'm concerned my girlfriend won't be able to take it if it's such a mindfuck. She wasn't too enthusiastic about visiting Auschwitz until her boss told her it's a must to visit if we go that way. My girlfriend's father on the other hand was very excited for us, he's a history nerd

Sean please feel free to tell me I am wrong for asking, but Adrian if you could take aome extra photos for us, I would really appreciate it. Your vacation sounds like something I hope to embark on some day.

I'll take pictures, just have to remember to post them. Recommendation for visiting is at least 3 hours. We have almost a full day prepared. Going to visit Schindler's factory too, that's why we are stopping in Krakow.

Seth and other mechanically minded people...

How would a superglue + baking soda repair last on a radiator end tank ? Stupid previous owner had the end tank gasket repaired, hammered a few tabs too hard and cracked the end tank. 

I fixed a crack in the overflow bottle (it's pressurized, unlike petrol engines and leaked quite a lot of coolant before the fix) and it lasted nicely over the last 200 miles but it's a different plastic. 

I've the same repair an intercooler end tank, so similar pressures, oil instead of coolant and lower temperatures, it held nicely.  

[Adrian_D 520]

I might glue together 2 pieces of plastic and boil them in water. If it fails...no bueno...

[///M5 2,833]

Better boil them in a pressure cooker

[///M5 2,833]

I wouldn't trust that repair period but that has no bearing on whether it will last

I can't say, Adrian. Pressures aren't really high, and if you did it and it held on the overflow I assume it would work, but without any real experience I will have to claim ignorance on this one, my friend. Sorry.

[///M5 2,833]

You ignorant fuck

Bwaaaaa, nobody wants to help me bla-bla-bla

 

 

It held on the overflow, I mean I was supposed to leave the house, quickly sanded the crack, added superglue, baking soda, repeat 3 times to make a big patch, change clothes and drive. No leaks, no x hours to cure. Last I recall the overflow cap has a 15psi valve. When squeezing the top radiator hose I can't feel much pressure. 

 

I have the old radiator from the Miata, I can use it to test how well the mix sticks to radiator end tanks. 

 

Slightly related...if I buy another used radiator, I'm afraid of transmission cooler failure. What if I just ditch the in-radiator cooler and use a normal radiator for the transmission? 

[Adrian_D 520]

Bought 50 grams of Wurth superglue, much stronger than regular stuff. I'm going to go full retard and fill the entire end-tank to core seam. 

[Adrian_D 520]

I'm trying to get back in touch with the italians who bought flares from me. Looks like I did business with half the people into car audio from Italy  

[Adrian_D 520]

If they jump on the spl meters like they did on the flares...it's going to be fun

Dependson the plastic. Polyethylene, nothing will work. A hard nylon, or ABS and you'll be okay.

Ironically, I have some potting epoxy and used it on the Camry rad tank before I sold it. Held for the last few weeks I drove it.

I need to look at your wine cellar.

Just thinking about it gives me a slight chill up my spine. We have a holocost museum here in DC that I have visited, and while they have artifacts on display and some reproductions, it still sticks with you. I can only imagine what the real thing will do.

[Godsmack 361]

Finally get my new DSLR tomorrow. Next on the list is some further upgraded glass.

The FX (full frame) body works with both FX and DX lenses. The DX body I had before, does not work properly with FX lenses. Hence not buying FX glass before. Now that restiction is removed and I'll be looking around.

Cellar is a strange word. Space under the stairs with a rack on the other hand.

Weird video, but good background music for work.
