The tech at the shop pointed out that the insulation pad that's sagging under my 348's engine lid was sagging because the installer never peeled off the adhesive backing. The adhesive has some tack, but I wanna make it stick the first time.

It's probably never going to see 400F solely from cooling air flowing over it while you drive etc etc I'd just spray some contact adhesive over it - it looks like most contact adhesives are rated for 270ish, and it should be possible to find one that's rated higher. On the other hand, Ferrari. Don't wanna gently caress it up...

booze chat: I went to meijer for groceries today and decided to show you how fuckin awesome it is to go booze shopping in Michigan (except for the prices I guess, luckily Meijer usually has them at the lowest price allowed by the state) From where I was standing to all the way in the corner was the the Wine, Beer, and Spirits section of my local Meijer. They have a huge loving selection of everything cold and if it's not in the cold aisles then it's in the boxed aisles  idk how much this costs elsewhere but lol @ buying Rogue  Okay so it's $5 cheaper to go a couple miles farther and get it from here instead of a party store, good to know

And that said, it's always cheaper to go to the liquor store. We have three competing chains here in town, one of which is loving enormous and within walking distance of my house.

Are all adhesive sprays really flammable going on but fine once they're dried out?

All of the party stores are owned by jerks who add huge convenience fees, and the one super nice liquor store by the in-laws is more expensive than Meijer

Engine's nominal operating temp is still ~100degC, and there are cooling fans are there not? I'd probably still be shooting for 300F, though. Pretty much all adhesive sprays are flammable going on because of the hydrocarbon solvent/propellant they use, and fine once dried as the hydrocarbon has evaporated.

Most, if not all, of the counties in Georgia finally voted on sunday sales, and I'm not aware of a single county where it didn't pass. They still can't sell before 12:30 on Sunday, which I guess is an ok trade off. Beer and wine in grocery stores, liquor only in liquor stores. No state-controlled ABC stores though. Total Wine stores are extremely awesome to wander through. Like a really nice grocery store that only sells beer, liquor, and wine, beer by the growler, and cigars. It's like a one-stop shop for all of my vices!

Mom had taken her car to NTB to get her tires rotated, and asked them to look at the brakes. They came back with an estimate showing new pads/rotors for all 4 corners, new struts, a new steering rack, timing belt set, etc etc etc. Said it was critical she get the brakes done immediately. So she brought it home, showed me the invoice... I agreed it needed at least front rotors, since it had a nasty shake while braking, but told her to let me handle it. Dropped $125 at Advance Auto today on pads and rotors for all 4 corners (gotta love that 30% off coupon). Did the front tonight - rotors were likely original (... she's been charged twice by Toyota of Plano for new rotors in the past), since they had cracks and were blued. Pads were worn, but nowhere near critical - they had about 1/4 of the meat left on them. Looking through the spokes of the back wheels and also feeling the pads, it definitely needs pads, but the rotors look fine. I can't see the back of the rotors due to the weird rear end drum in disc parking brake setup, but if both sides of the rotors look fine, I'm returning the rotors and getting her money back - she's pretty strapped for cash. Steering rack has a tiny leak; the PS fluid has to be topped off about once a year. It's been leaking since 2007, but I see no point in replacing it until it gets to where it's actually leaking instead of just leaving a damp spot on the rack. Shocks do need to be done sometime, but it still handles fine. NTB was making it sound like it was a death trap. She asked why they would tell her that her car was in such bad shape. My answer was "because you're a woman, and they thought they could take advantage of you." She watched me do the front brakes. Had both corners done in about an hour, and it only took that long because one of the caliper bolts was being a oval office and didn't want to thread back in. Her reaction to how long it took was "why do shops charge so much for brakes if they're this simple?". v  vI need to figure out how to flush the brake fluid on it sometime. It has ABS, and I've never dealt with ABS beyond a pad/rotor swap. Preoptopus posted:10 days booze free.Withdrawal symptoms seems to be over. Starting to feel lame as everyone parties around me. Oh well I guess ill smoke a bowl and do more sit ups. Congrats! I'm about to graduate from my rehab program (happens Monday). Unfortunately I can only claim 3 weeks sobriety, even though I've been in the program since July.

STR: just keep the fluid topped up as you bleed and it should be fine. I've never done anything different just because it had ABS. Just check and see if the lines are routed weird. Like our old CX7 it was RR/LF and LR/ RF tied together, instead of just front/back or each corner from furthest to closest.

Good point. It's an Avalon, so basically a stretched V6 Camry of the same year, so hopefully there's nothing weird. I'll check out the routing tomorrow when I replace the rear brakes. Cage posted:He said he was sober now you rear end.  I gotta say, I wish there was an Advance closer to me - it's about a half hour drive (+ paying about $3 in tolls each way) to get there, but....  That price makes it worth the drive. I may wind up returning the rear rotors, the existing ones look fine (and I really don't want to deal with the fuckery that is known as a drum parking brake inside a disc brake rotor anyway). Just need to be sanded a bit to remove the glaze. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 06:30 on Oct 14, 2015 |

He bought a brand new $60k pickup because his old one "didn't have electric windows" and him and my dad fly to Vegas on a whim for golfing weekends. So yeah, maybe I should listen what he has to say.

See my oil cooler? See the imprints? Perfectly fit two sparkplugs in the gaps. PO probably changed plugs but dropped them down onto the barrels, so they rolled down onto the oil cooler and years and years of thermostat flap action and vibration smushed them down. No plugs present when I opened it, though, and no fresh oil.   Sauteed onions, some cut up "sausages" (hot dog impostors) some green pepper, some honey, some salt, some black pepper, over rice. Pay day is 12 days away. I may not make it. Queen_Combat fucked around with this message at 07:26 on Oct 14, 2015 |

Meant to post this earlier, just couldn't remember it beyond "... I know I meant to post SOMETHING, just can't remember what it was  "Finally remembered it! So I did a complete drain and fill on my cooling system a bit over a month or two ago, when I replaced the thermostat. Some of the coolant wound up in a gallon milk container. Apparently DexCool really does turn pretty acidic when it gets old. I have coolant that came from the car 2 years ago in an identical container, and it's still happily sitting in that container. The container that the recent drain/fill wound up in? The bottom of the gallon container melted, and there's a nice big coolant stain on the garage floor.  Glad I finally did a complete drain and refill. poo poo ate through the coating on the concrete garage floor..

It'd be really nice to be able to buy it all in the same store. Laws like that are so ridiculous. That's one thing I love about Iowa. I can get liquor/beer anytime, basically anywhere that feels like buying a liquor license. Even my local CVS has a decent alcohol section. I drove up to Milwaukee a few years ago to buy a car, and got there around 10PM. I was appalled that I couldn't legally buy a six pack of beer.
