roXas: bummer about the car, glad you made it home.
Next time: do not poor water on a hot engine bay...not good.

 

yea, not very good at all . . . . Just let it cool down in the shade haha Maybe it was the driver overheating . . Yea?

haha

 

The fuel pumps have a tendency to overheat. Not a good idea to spray the engine......shoot a little water on the radiator maybe but not the engine.

I'll get around to getting over on the Utah thread and forum but for now, I wish to tank you for coming and I hope you had a good time.

 

How can you remember talking to anyone???? The shape you were in I'm supprised that you remember you name.

 

yeah Phil, HUGE props to the guys who came down from Utah!
Also, Ross Dawg was a hell of a trooper, having driven 5 hours just to meet up with the Cali guys on Friday morning. (then another 2.5 hours to get to Vegas)

Ross: how many miles did you drive this weekend?

 

oops... i didnt know. fail.... :S thanks for the advice guys. It had already cooled down for about 30 min in the shade before i sprayed it down. there wasnt any steam blown out or anything. Is that ok? I just wonder cause I was talking with Flashwing about cleaning everything under the hood and he said that he usually just hoses it down and uses some simple green. Maybe I heard wrong.. Or is it just that it was a hot engine that made it bad?

 

Thanks you guys.
Phil: Thanks for organizing the whole thing and being very welcoming. I had a great time and will be there next year for sure.

Jedi: Thanks for all the advice and being willing to explain things to a noob. lol

 

Lol thanks man. It was great to meet you there. Glad you made it home too. Sounds like you had the longest journey out of all of us.

 

RoXas: it was a pleaseure to meet you and chat a bit about mods / car stuff.
Anytime you need anything just let me know, I'm here to help.

As for the engine cleaning, you did hear right but you missed a minor detail. The trick is to push the car out of the garage, spray it down with simple green, then hose the car off, never having turned it on because pouring water on hot parts can crack things.
Once you've rinsed off the Simple Green, THEN fire up the car and drive it around for 10 minutes as that'll evaporate most of the remaining water

 

Yes. Cold water on a hot engine has never been a very good combination.
Flashwing was referring to washing (I would say) a cold engine.

 

oh ****.. cracked parts. OK good to know. Never gonna do that again. Glad I let it sit for a while before doing that. Thanks for the heads up.

Oh yeah.. Sorry I missed out on the Hofbrauhaus dinner. Kinda bummed i missed it. The typical Vegas touristy stuff wasnt anything special. And the heat was so overbearing. Not gonna do that next year.

 

Thanks man. Yeah for sure thats what he was talking about. I just failed on a major detail. Not trying to blame him or anything.

BTW it was great to meet you, although I heard you rolled with a crew of hotties. Did i miss them? lol

 

Well next year I will be twenty one haha LOOK OUT VEGAS haha, BTW My pa and I are planning a trip here around Aug - sept. . . sometime to come down to vegas, Would like to meet up wit you guys again and grab dinner or something. . . Since i will be 21 and ill bring my car down this time haha

 

04: don't do it in September, because SEVENSTOCK is towards the end of that month and I get the feeling people will be saving up for that event.

You and your dad should consider coming down for that.

 

Haha there is no way, We will have to go next year. Ive made to many big purchases this year haha!!! lol

 

rox: dude good to hear all is well wit your 8 and that you made it home safe.

ross: yeah dude major props to you for that super long drive. sorry i didnt get to see you off . i was going to hook you up wit a parting gift but that stupid street was killing me! anyway hope you enjoyed and dont trip about the brew all that good stuff it was on me.

 

that waitress hit me SOOOO FREAKING Hard in Video 7. Special thanks to Cesar (aka FastRX8) for talking to the waitress beforehand and telling her, "My buddy said you hit like a girl"

 

lol! jedi she went full force did you see the look in eyes?

 

Lmao my grandpa was telling me that he saw people getting slapped in the *** at the Hofbrau House I'm glad someone was up to the challenge

 

reverend: dude you have no idea how bad those chicks were swinging them padles. straight baseball swings!

 

Well, when somebody mentioned to our hostess that she "hits like a girl" suddenly she was hitting home runs!

 

i know right? i thought that handle was going to break the way she was swinging it.

 

 

awe.... i knew i forgot something. i wanted to get a boot but i was to faded to remember. well theres always next time.

 

Jedi: Total driving distance for the trip - 1095 miles
