ahh Judy  it felt good to hold you in my hand again !

20130505_154205_zps0629124f.jpg

 

took her for a ride it felt good with all the new steering parts. The steering felt very light . :thumbup: But i had to take the rewinds off the tires are to old and hard . The bfg's on the rewinds where pushing just trying to flip a slow u turn on my street.

 

Now i have to pull the drive line and get the dimensions i need. The old drive line is a little bit to short and it is causing  the rear tail shaft bushing's in my transmissions to wear out .

I dont want to put my new trans in and wipe it out like the last 2.

when the po swapped the rear to disc's they didn't steak the nut and it came loose and was finger tight . glad i caught it .

on hot days my car tends to heat up on the free way. The temp will slowly rise after a while at free way speeds buy when i pull of the freeway it cool's down so .

I think the air is going under the rad up behind it and out the louvers in the hood . So i maid a piece of test ducting to see if it will help

Today i installed these

And i figured since it is in the air i might as well install the spax adjustable shocks phil gave me  2 years a go . I didn't think these shocks where going to be any good.

Glad i was wrong.

Wow, that doesn't look good at all. CX racing is one of those ebay companies that sell the horrid turbos and such, but I had heard that their radiators and oil coolers were decent...

 

Will they give you a refund?

That's not good customer service, nor quality.  If that company cared about their name, customers etc they would replace it. You shouldn't have to run that.  Email them back saying 15 will not suffice, and you want a replacement.  Demand it!  Check out their return policy too, call them out.

 

I'd be afraid of cracking it somewhere bolting it down, or the fan hitting it sometime down the road.

I would say at the very least a replacement rad should be owed you. Rads are not suppose to be twisted like that and I think they have agreed on that seeing as how they wanted to buy you off with 15 bucks. A true after market high performance shop should give you a new rad. If they don't then that speaks volumes on their business model.  What's the silver shit on your hands from? Is it coming off the rad? That aint right either.
