Akron/Cleveland 8 Owners.
Your speaker box is pretty ricey too. 
Although, my big ole wing on the ST is pretty rice. The only solace I have in that though is it was a factory option. And it's stupid quick, so I can get away fast before anyone gets a chance to call it rice.

At first it was fun going through tunnels, but got annoying after awhile.
Cruising up RT8 to work everyday, I had to turn my radio up so I could hear it over the midpipe.
I didn't know he had an AP midpipe... was it a single or dual resonator (they both sound like *** anyway... just curious).

hah thanks jon, and no i have the dual resonated midpipe on mine, i liked the sound but i told you guys when i got it that i wasnt buying it for the low tone and everything. that i just wanted a louder exhaust then you guys so i can get that outta my system since im a teenager.

Also... just read that ShinkaRex is selling his 8 also in the FS section. . . dropping like flies in NE Ohio.
Alright, took a pic or 3 or the undertray... i don't think it looks too bad!
And in the last pic, although way overexposed, you'll see in the hole a silver circle, which is where the bolt head sheared off somehow. . . I'm open to opinions.

Well, its wet out now... and we ran it up to temp when you were here, but there was already a leak puddle and we had other issues...
There was steam this morning though and I couldn't see where it was coming from, but I heard a "hissing" under the hood... so I might have to go through that fiasco again.
Jon - what you doing today (per facebook?)

LOL... My plans today was to remove the door panel and fix my passenger side window, install the sensors/sending units for the gauges, then maybe finish cleaning the brake calipers if I had time.
But the door might have to wait until tomorrow since its wet outside and I need to have the door open.
Then Yulia mentioned coming over later to hang out... so my "checklist" for today is starting to appear difficult to achieve.
Tomorrow John and I are driving down to Summit Racing for some fluids and I plan on buying spark plugs.
He talked about swapping tranny fluid, but that would be weather pending too.

Yeah, i'm going to try to figure out exactly where the car is leaking... i'm going to assume from the gasket we replaced, but I want to be sure. I'll try to snap some pics to get all your thoughts.
Well... if its still leaking from the thermostat even with the new gasket, then maybe we should just use liquid gasket and be done with it.
Steve- did the large radiator hose survive on the donor car?
I want to install the water temp coupler with some silicone sealant to ensure it doesn't leak, but it needs 24-hrs to cure.

Large parts of it are out there I think... If I had to bet if the entire length survived I would say nope
I just need the section that connects to the upper thermostat housing:
Attachment 152973
Attachment 152973
And on mine... I can't pinpoint the exact location. Its dripping out pretty good off the pass side motor mount and steaming off the exhaust manifold... Its all coming down from the front of the engine, and looking at the donor engine, the path of travel makes sense from the bottom and/or rear seal of the thermostat housing. But it does flow out of there pretty good. However, my fans kicked on and such that the car wouldn't over heat. I had it running for about 25 minutes in the shop and it peaked at 215 coolant, 195 oil.
But, guess I won't be driving it yet, unless I want to fill up with water more than gas and oil.
