What did you do today to your 3/S?

i poured coolant in today, since i had water in it the whole summer because of my headgasket leak... It froze due to winter conditions, so it was a warm day out so i thought i'd put some coolant in.

It was completely empty. So i started pouring my coolant in, half a jug later i hear water hitting the ground. I look underneath my car, and there goes all the coolant i poured. On to the ground. I also found what seems to be a metal cap, or maybe a coolant plug? I have no idea how the hell it fell off my cylinder head.

That will help, lets just hope that the freeze plug popped out easy enough that the expanding water did not brake anything while creating the pressure to pop that freeze plug.

They are called welsh plugs! Freeze plugs are a nick name. They are only there to plug the holes created from the casting mold. THEY DO NOT PROTECT AGAINST FREEZING!

Drove it around the block last night. Bought racing seats/brackets/harnesses today.

I'm about to have a whole lot of crap to install, heh.

you missed something in that list.... ;)

Well no today but this weekend...

I hardwired the Blackstealth lcd boost controller in, and got it working well. Adjusted the headlights to better blind people. Installed, and adjusted the front splitter to level. Washed and waxed to find out I need to finally wet sand and buff her out...

Went to find the couch was empty of beer...

Got our $450 3000gt up and running, just the gas savings alone from not having to daily drive the truck should cover the cost of the car within a month. :lol:
