We Are Ready!


We leave tomorrow (Wed 21 May) morning.

Vroom, Vroom....

Cooling fan is fixed (for now). Wetested the fan motor, removed and replaced (R2) the coolant temp sensor, and trouble shot various relays (we still don't know where the hell the cooling fan relay is in this damn car), and numerous trips to the junk yard(cue theme from Sanford and Son)--we came up with an alternative. We developed an Improvised Radiator Cooling Device (IRCD) by disconnecting the fan motor from the ECM and hotwiring it directly to the car battery with an inline switch--which of course we left in the engine bay as running it through the firewall would be too logical.

Works like a champ now....except when the temp gauge goes up, you have to pull over, pop the hood and flip the switch under the hood.

But that is what this event is all about.

Hopefully more from Staten Island tomorrow night.
