Stooge Spring Fling

Just a bottle of your favorite. Takes about 20mins. Brake pad replacement takes another 20mins. Rotors too make it 2hrs.

Dont forget that engine detailer stuff u brought last time! I still got to find that hi tech fluid.

I have a pressure bleeder for the brakes - sometimes it works and sometimes it shoots fluid around your luggage boot.

Looking forward to seeing Craig's Mille trophy.

 

Is there anything specific Vince or anyone else wants me to bring?

Im a DDS, so I have Latex gloves I can bring for the wrenches. How bout I also bring Caprese (Tomato, basil, mozz, etc.) for about 15?

 

Vince, what's your preference on beer?

 

Alcohol preferred. Non-mainstream preferred. Pilsner Urquel definitely preferred and it might accord you guest of honor status.

 

Done!

 

I wonder why I'm following this thread.....I like beer. I like wrenching on my car. I do, for sure, like good food. However, I have to wrench alone as there are no other Ferrari owners in my area wrenching their own cars. There are just owners leaving their cars to the super expensive Ferrari shop. Can't you Stooge guys come over to Sweden? We have prolly the best beer in the World....

That's on my list. Will you lend me a hand Obi Wan?

Done.

 

Dude just move, I did.

Have not had my roof up in 2 years

 

Pilsner Urquel secured and chilling in the fridge. Waiting to have guest of honor status bestowed on me or at least a prime spot in the driveway.

 

Of course!

 

Just posting my "wish list" of items to work on:

Flush Brake system
Change out fuel filter
Adjust parking brake
Get fog lights working
Smoke test exhaust
Bypass rattle
Check if running rich

Have the brake fluid, fuel filter and new fog light bulbs. Need help with a smoke test and thoughts on bypass rattle.

 

BTW, is Vince in PVE or RPV? I know "The Hill" pretty well-lived in Lunada Bay '98-'00.

 

I have no repairs on my car. I will be free to play

 

Me too...

 

That's a scary thought

 

One day that can be you! So did Mitchel do all the ECU pins? Everything good there? What about engine bay? If not bring your GCK stuff down too.

 

Lets run it over to the smog shop for a smog pretest. There are several by Vince's just a couple miles away. That will tell you plenty.

 

Me either, I know a guy that does the work for me

 

Mitchell did all the affected ECU pins but I'm still getting CELs related to 02 sensors and the like so we think it might be a broken wire somewhere. We will investigate this weekend.

Engine bay is fine, I suppose. The idle is better than it was - less cavatating - but not as smooth as I'd like. Might be a miss somewhere. A fresh set of NGK plugs are on their way and I hope to put them in before the drive; otherwise, it will be one of the projects I will tackle at the Stoogefest.

Yes, packing the GCK.

Famous last words. I'm sure its only a temporary condition.

 

Ketel, are you still looking for OME cats fir a smog test? We can pull off my car on the 31st if you are ready to go for a test but I need them back on by the end if the day
