Jeremy-KY

wow now that's a cheap build! I should look at AMD for my next major build.

EEngineer

hehe thanks!
im around the richmond hill area. what about you?

EEngineer

urgh, sometimes i think my car is just messing with me....



the accessory belt shredded itself and i was driving with half a belt for god knows how long...i realized there was a problem when the battery light started blinking on my cluster and goes away when i rev the car.

oh well, i had a new one sitting around and just put it in.

after the belt replacement, I started removing the front exhaust manifold to reach the oil filter neck assembly. I need to replace the O ring that seals the oil from the block...cuz my car is dripping oil after i leave it parked overnight. when i just finished unbolting everything, it started raining cats and dogs on my ***....urgh

EEngineer

anyway, the way i left it today.

cleaned up all the gunk from the block. took me like 2 friggin hours to clean the 20 years worth of grease and tar.
took out the oil filter assembly. replacing the o-ring tomorrow to fix that nasty leak and i'm gonna paint some random brackets and stuff just to make it clean.

Simple green and a bristle brush would probably make that engine and engine compartment look like new.

EEngineer

cleaned up those parts and prepping them for paint tomorrow
the manifold will get some VHT manifold paint in silver, rest are getting high heat enamel in silver

EEngineer

fresh look. not bad eh

Is the paint holding up? I always thought that it was impossible to paint exhaust pipes because of the extreme temperatures. I once painted my lawn mower's exhaust with some high temp paint and it created quite a smoke show when I started it.

EEngineer

^the picture was taken a day after the painting was done. it held up fine after a day of driving.

cuz the paint is VHT header paint. it's made for headers. withstands 2000F

EEngineer

quick update.

got it at the perfect ride height on saturday .....no wheel gap no finger
got new headlights + yellow film on top. if i get sick of the colour i'll just rip it off.




I'll get some proper photos later....finally time to get an alignment + drop the car off at bodyshop to get the fenders shaved.

Why don't I see any ES's this nice around my way, ever...

Good job sir I really like it!

I might buy a 1ES as an emergency car in the next few months so I can start working on my project/daily SC....

Can anybody tell me why is overheating a common problem on most ES ads I see?
