    So under the car nut and bolting things everything is good until. I check out the Guibo and find cracks on both sides of it. Well Shit. It's 1400 miles round trip. I think I know the answer but I'll ask is it too far gone and would one risk the drive to The Vintage ? No one local has the part of course. I can still go but I think I'm taking my E39. Thoughts ?

    Ordered a O2 sensor on Monday and showed up on my porch Tuesday. Ordered spare cap/rotor and misc. for The Vintage from Bluntech Monday and also got it today. I worry about driving 1400 miles round trip in my 2002 for The Vintage, then remember I once drove a Opel Manta from Michigan to Florida and back with to much beer and no spare parts. So I think will be okay.

    Okay thats pretty cool.

    Very nice decal pic looks like paint. When you get a chance post a picture of the rear. I thought about doing something like that in gray also.

    Is the Motorsport flag paint or a decal. Either way I like. ?

    I think I figured out my 3k plus miss. When I redid the O2 sensor my arm pushed the air filter down. When the car warmed up ran it thru the gears and my miss was back. Open hood and find the air filter pushed down. I did the same thing yesterday when working on stuff but didn't put the two together. Pulled filter up and ran like a champ half hour drive home.

    Thanks Tom I appreciate the info. I have an AEM AFR and they are kinda known for 02 sensors to go bad. Good idea on cap/rotor will swap it out and see. Will check it out with my multi meter. again thanks

    It's too bad this isn't on Bring a Trailer. The comment section would be on overdrive for sure. Would make for some entertaining reading.

    Ordered some basic stuff for the Vintage. Went with BluntTech always had great luck with them.

    Adjusted the steering box just a little. DIY Front End alignment, tracks much better. Had my o2 sensor go bad after maybe 700 miles wtf. It's under warranty so will see. I also started to get a 3000 rpm plus ignition miss. Installed a new cap and rotor and everything appears okay. What do people get mileage wise out of caps/rotors ? This cap has only 3k or 4k at most. Any thoughts ?

    I couldn't agree more that we need to support people that build/sell 02 parts and services. I think one hand doesn't know what the other is doing , is business as usual at IE. My last order was a set of 8mm wheel spacers, pretty simple request. The center bore was to small and needed sanding with a dremel to fit. The outside diameter was a 1/2 inch to big and hit the caliper. It was over 11 days to get any response from them. I ended up having a friend turn them to correct outside diameter since it took so long for a reply. I do want to support them but they don't make it easy. ?

    Congrats

    They sent me the wrong parts a week ago, per usual. Took them over a week to get back to me on how they wanted to handle it. Second email mentioned a credit card stop payment and they replied the next day. I have a 33% on getting any part or the right part. Good Luck with this.

    My local Walmart carry's the Castrol 20w50 Classic GTX and Menard's carry's the Vavoline VR 20w50 along with NAPA. So easy to get in these here parts.

    Got a chance to take the car out at Gingerman Raceway today. My youngest and I had a great time. Made the pain of missing Mid America a little less.
  19. jp5Touring
    Washed and ready to go for mini road trip Saturday. Not Mid America ? but going to some nearby Vintage Racing to help some friends race. Out for first shake down.

    Seen the snorkel and didn't catch the trunk lid at first glance. Not unmolested and agree very very optimistic on the price.

    I didn't know this about LED lights. I have Cibie's and pretty happy but thought about the new LED from Holley, I guess not after reading this. https://www.holley.com/products/electrical/led_lighting/retrobright/parts/LFRB135?utm_term=&utm_campaign=Google+Shopping+-+All+Products+Catchall+-+Brand&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&hsa_acc=7848552874&hsa_cam=8435969674&hsa_grp=87531640073&hsa_ad=404358488076&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=pla-294680686006&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6pOTBhCTARIsAHF23fKG_ijYzFfKsN0IW1BY8SHVRSLqcvM1ShR0HQZSyOeA6_EsUJ8ooYMaAh3BEALw_wcB

    Thought heat shield or something rotating also. The same contractor must build Michigan roads also.

    Button up the interior after gauges and Nav install. Went for a 90 minute drive. Sitting at a light trying to figure out why my turn signals won't work ?? Oh yeah it's the stalk on the right side,, been a while. ?
