I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. The car had been cranky on cold starts recently, and had some wierd idle problems; and the fact that the moron from whom I bought the car (2 years ago) may have overheated it, with a leaky radiator and split TB coolant hose. Friday night, I drove the car pretty tamely, without much boost, or rpms or anything. Saturday morning, getting ready to go to work, I went to start it, and it was reluctant. Whenever it did start, it sounded like **** on a ****. Actually it sounded like it was full of water. Shortly after, the idle returned to a normal tone, with a repetitive stutter. If that wasn't an obvious enough clue, the massive amounts of fluffy, white, steamy, coolant smoke clued me off to the failure of my coolant o-rings. It doesn't bother me much, though, because now I get to port it. I just hope my 83 gsl with 170K miles will last long enough for me to get the fd going.

BTW, if anyone feels like throwing any sort of donations my way (housings, seals, o-rings, porting templates, micrometers, etc) feel free. As the old TLC song goes, "I ain't too proud to beg."

It isn't actually pink. It's just a very faded vintage red.
