Starting to sweat. Do you think brakes would be useful for RTT? I am taking recommendations on where to get pads for 850 Brembo calipers-FAST!

This is how the M is sitting right now. Not a real happy camper at this point.

Thanks Sherman. I will check with Steve. Not sure why I didn't in the first place. It took me forever to figure out what the heck the things were in the first place! Looking forward to seeing you guys again. Bringing 3 generations this year, like we planned last year until getting derailed.

I still need to register the car, do some grinding and painting, install the entire interior, and test drive. And it's supposed to rain the next 3 days.

Just did the brake b..uhh accumulator.

Fixing some body work. Need to work on my cigar lighter socket and my passenger side fog light doesn't go on - seems to be a problem in the fuse box between the relay and the fuse. Driver's side works and the bulb in the pass side is healthy. No voltage at the fuse.

Wash and

DRIVE

I still have to repaint my driver side door moldings, clean the car inside and out. I think that is about it for now. Bought spare oil and coolant and found a water pump gasket laying around.

She's a DD so she won't be perfect.

Hitch installed. Need to do more trailer work. Need to clean and polish the car, though that may happen once we get to NC. Need to make more MHE stuff and displays. Need to find time in there to sleep and clean the house.

New euro low beam bulb. I can never remember if it's the H1 or H4.

mooseheadm5 · Post by **mooseheadm5** » May 20, 2013 6:20 PM

Low beam is H4. You can also use a 9003 if you can't find one labeled as an H4. They are functionally the same.

kthx.

I hate when only the low beam goes out. All four work fine for highs...

Oh, I thought this was also for people who were fixing their cars this week and definitely not going to Vintage.

You're definitely in the right profession.

Oh... and I hope it rains Wednesday. We need it.

Enjoy your loneliness...

Just as long as it clears out of TX by dark.
I need to make some distance, and rainy roads at night are NOT fun.

I needed to get some sleep last night, but I just couldn't do it. (sigh) I'll get all the sleep I need on the road, I guess...

That's what cruise control is for, right?

For sleeping? Yes.
Rain? Definitely not.

edit: I don't have cruise control, btw. Just this odd 'Tempo' thingy...

Pavel · Post by **Pavel** » May 21, 2013 11:09 AM

Cruise control and A/C go hand by hand - i.e. non working!

If you owned an S38 powered car you wouldn't want to know.

Back on topic.

Pack up the car.
Speaking of that, let me bump a few FS threads.
I think I've still got some extra space.

slammin_e28 · Post by **slammin_e28** » May 22, 2013 9:17 AM

Getting the AC recharged on the red IS today.

Then polishing it up, painting the wheels, cleaning it out and we should be good to go. May get around to installing a new cruise control switch too.

shagrath · Post by **shagrath** » May 22, 2013 9:28 AM

Just gotta clean Adalia on Friday and we will be good.
