Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...

[Kracka]

Well, Teh Gheyrod has been a bit of a whore these past two week but I think we're past the pain and it once again loves me.

Two Fridays again it was spewing coolant out of the rubber turbo coolant feed hose which luckily O'Reilly had a replacement hose that fit nearly perfectly for $10. Its a small 3/8" molded 90-degree bend with a few inch long legs.

This past Friday coming home from work doing about 80mph down the tollway I was slowing down for traffic and lost a lot of pressure in my brake pedal. I got the car slowed with some pumping of the pedal and down-shifting, but I left most my ATE Super Blue brake fluid all over the road. My front driver side stainless brake line had been lightly rubbing on the shock body and finally wore through and sprung a leak. I was able to slowly get the car home then Saturday I replaced the line with a spare stainless line I luckily had laying around. My friend brought me some Amsoil DOT4 brake fluid since he is a dealer and none of the shops that stock ATE Super Blue are open on the weekends. Amsoil DOT4 is actually slightly better fluid, but at 3x the price.
