Re: Baron's '05 STi journal!! - **back on the road!**
So aside from other leaky things(razzlefrackin' *!%#*# basement!), seems I've developed what looks like the slowest leak in history from the metal washer in between the GReddy drain plug and the outlet for the drain on the oil pan. While in storage, I had the obvious cardboard on the floor underneath, which showed no signs of leaks. Also checked the aero tray for oil residue and it shows nothing as well.
Which leads me to believe the one oil drop I saw hanging there accumulated over a long time. I will try tightening the drain plug, but I believe when Jaz and I changed the oil last summer, we got it on snug enough, but then again, things loosen up. I'm just always way too cautious of stripping things.
**Another update on the exhaust -I know I know, still not here, what's new?!- but the last couple times I called the importer, the guy I talked to -Henry- would always sort of give me vague answers to my questions and it seemed like he didn't really know who I was/my situation and would try to deflect my questions. Well, fast forward to last week when I call them, get Henry again -oh joy.- and once again treated to misinformation of sorts.
After figuring out who I was, he put me on hold, and after a while I was transferred to Jasper, the person who was helping me out in the beginning!(I had forgot his name, so I guess that's my fault and each time I called back, was told when my J-name guesses were wrong, "We don't have anyone by that name here.") I was thinking "Finally! I've been trying to find you!" SO, he assured me it was ordered and what he told me was that it's on the water and on it's way, so it should be here in the next couple weeks!
.....but yeah right of course, I'll believe it when I get that phone call or when I sign for it personally, it's been six months now.... :\
