Tech Session Sat. 29 Apr.

Tech time. Got to sort out a few problems that I had at the track plus pull my valve body to get upgraded.

On the agenda -

Pull the front bumper and:

Install oil cooler
Install tranny cooler
Install larger power steering cooler

Try to figure out where the oily goo on my drivers front wheel came from

Bleed the brakes

Pull the valve body

All help will be very welcomed as this will probably take several hours. If anyone has anything other projects to work on we should get to them first since I plan on jacking my car up and leaving it there until my valve body comes back hopefully within a few days following.

Shouldn't you have an orthodontist do that for you?

Did you go with Sharif's VB Upgrade? I will be at VRT that day getting the Stillen installed on the G or else I would help. Do you need me to bring or drop off anything with them?

Yeah, I'm going to get Sharif's upgrade. I don't think that I need anything from VRT unless they have my radiator and strut tower bar ready.

Probably gonna start this afternoon so if anyone has nothing better to do swing on by. I definitely don't plan on being finished by tonight so I'll definitely be tinkering tomorrow too.

Map to the crib.

Already got a bleeder kit, thanks though.

Got the coolers placed where I could find room. Gonna work on the plumbing tomorrow. Also got the tranny draining so that I can pull the valve body tomorrow.

You know I'd be there, but round trip plane tickets are so damn expensive these days. <-- Has the best excuse for not showing up

Big thanks to KennyZ for swinging by today, his help was invaluable.

Got the tranny cooler hooked up, but had to hold off on the oil cooler because the line that I was originally going to use turned out to be a coolant line, not an oil line (once again thanks KennyZ). Gotta order a sandwich adaptor.

Also got the valve body pulled, hopefully will be shipping it off Monday.

Anytime Ty. Learned a few things for when I do that VB upgrade. Rubber gloves and a giant drain pan. LOL huh TY. Dont know about knowing my stuff,
but the price I payed for that manual has sure been worth it.
