A private place we chat, where we share more personal stuff is not too hard to keep straight from the entire world wide web, although not too many people visit ramblings anyway. IMO, of course...

Sharing anecdotes about towels and my misadventures in the world are one thing.
I am very transparent on the internet but I'd like to think I can pick and choose when there's something I don't want public.

Either way, it ain't no thang but a chicken wang...

 

sorry.
there is so many places we chat, its hard to keep track

 

You broke the circle (jerk) of trust cocker

 

Um, nope. Ever spill brake fluid on paint? It'll take it off in a jiffy. Not so much the case if clearcoat is there. When my brake line blew, it spilled fluid all over my wheel and a bit on the fender and I wasn't able to wash it off for about 5 hours. Zero damage.

Paint has zero protective properties. It's all in the clear coat. That's why manufacturers have all their patended clear coats. Self healing clears, diamond coat clears, etc, etc.

Stuff CAN ruin the clear, but just because it ruins paint doesn't mean it will ruin the clear. But sure, keep on babbling :kiss:

 

That's why I keep nudes of you all to myself. I'm good like that.

 

Thats bullshit! I call

my brembo calipers paint is destroyed from brake fluid. i fuggin watched it happen, as I was bleeding brakes.

 

p.s. the calipers do have a clear coat.

 

 

Sup, folks.

 

cant see shit justn

 

Shiettt.. Mets gave it away.. sad.

J.. did you see the Canes game... shietttttttt!!
Now that would have been a game to see!

 

I'm willing to bet you had a rock chip in your caliper clear coat, the brake fluid got under the clear and the rest was history. That, and not all clear coat is created equally.

Call bullshit all you want. My paint isn't peeling off my rim or fender, even after washing the car.

Guys admit to using paint thinner and gasoline, without issue.

Still gonna argue?

 

P'Dik going at it again... This time with timing belts

 

gasoline, paint thinner, and brake cleaner without bleach sounds like what you're describing. I do believe the clear has more protective qualities than paint (probably just harder and thicker) but I've seen it burn through too, like Justin said.

 

I mean, I'd goof off 2 on the clear to get stickers off all day...I stayed away from goof off 1 though...unless you go at it very fast and then immediately spray it down and stop the chemical reaction.

Justin, all good, man...

Joe...hell yeah...we go to a game, fkng get demolished 58-0. We watched some of the game at a halloween party but didn't see the end until the next day. That was friggin awesome. Officials got suspended for letting it ride, but apparently they had been pretty lax on duke the entire game.

 

This is all I got from your post

 

LOL...there's no way you think you can pour brake fluid on your clear coat and be chillin...
I'd love to sit there and watch you eat a stack of pancakes tied to a lawn chair while you watch me pour a bottle on your hood...then watch the sweat break out on your forehead(skin).

I got a dialogue going with Rockyboy...but holy hell, that guy does NOT break character...I don't think he was getting my underlying joke about having zero confidence and relying on your car for hos.

 

Morning ladies & gents

 

I still see my pic? is it not viewable for ya'll?

taco, no rock chips... the picture shows an outline of a drip that leaked all the way down the caliper.

Brake fluid took the clear and paint right off!


IT ALSO SAYS IN THE SERVICE MANUAL, when doing brakes...."IF YOU GET BRAKE FLUID ON CUSTOMERS CAR, WASH RIGHT AWAY.

 

Hi Frantz!

 

Taco, i swear you're fucking Dudley Do Right.
you have great intentions, but you dont know what you're doing.

Go ride your horse backwards!

 

 

How are we all doing? I'm soory for my lack of participation in the thread lately

@ Dudley Do Right

 

I'm doing well. Anyone did cool shit on Halloween?

Ended up dressed like a very pretty lady (read 80s whore look) and piss drunk downtown after drinking with 2 lesbians friend for most of the night. Almost got into a fight with some guy blocking the metro doors, but his friend was chill and took care of him.

I never realized eyeliner was so difficult to remove. I tell ya, don't let lesbians dress you up.

 

Was fun, we dressed up like cats...
Waxed the SRX and wheels...did some troubleshooting on the TL...will order the o-ring, hose and the S2000 has a bunch of dash bulbs out...yesterday cut the grass, did the fertilizer then trimmed some of our shrubs.

 

You're going to remove the PS return line hose on the TL? Have you found a way to snake your hand there or going to lower the subframe?

 

You should be!

 

 

You don't lower the subframe ninny.. worst case you remove strut tower and reach your skinny arm down there. Plenty of space. Best thing to do is jack it up (off) and work top (power) bottom.



Don't make me get my cactus..

 

I got arms dangling lower than my knees and still couldn't reach over there, J must be orangutan like.

 

I'm not certain yet...but I kinda would like to swap it correctly, although if fixing the o-ring on the sensor stops the leak, I'll probably just leave well enough alone.

The $10 in shipping is what's gotten me considering ordering everything, since I have to pay it anyway. I need to figure out the bulbs first too...I had placed an order for the o-ring alone but then it was $5 shipped...realized I might want to just pay the other $5 in shipping for a 60 cent part to get everything.

 

it's actually no worse than the rear catalytic...just need to put a towel on the engine and plan to lay on top and dangle your arms down. If you look down/back center of firewall you'll see the other clamp down there. A bitch to get to, but doable. I am not going to touch it if the o-ring stops the leak though, fk it.

Plus, I'm not doing it, Majofo is flying in and handling it while I watch.

 

Sounds like a plan. You can hold his ankles... in a different way than the usual.

 

cul0, you need to tell us why you love your TL. The one you don't have.... yet!

IT WAS ON MY PAINT FOR HOURS AND NOTHING HAPPENED!! I dunno what to tell you. I wasn't happy about it. I would never willingly do that, but I was stranded and it happened. Sigh... Anyway, on to the next argument

 

some one dressed up as a 4G TL.

horrible decision was made

IT Will TAKE IT RIGHT off.

 

Last minute costumes man... they're rarely good.
