its not a big deal with the engine out of the car still to try.

One step forward, two steps back...lol. I can squeeze the tube between the crossover and that egr tube, but it makes the angle down to the hole where the Trans dipstick tube goes, pretty crazy. I might find a bendable tube substitute to try the angles with and then see if it's even possible. Thanks for all the ideas guys.

That must be quite the bend if it goes around the outside of the crossover? I'll go take a look.

that is if you cant get your to fit.

Hmm, so maybe a junkyard trip then...

Think I got it how we discussed above. Rotated the clamp too.

i used a bead around the lip of the slip joint, on my DP only. the rest are sealed tight with nothing but band clamps. i only did that cause it blew a part on me two times.

Figured if I put a bead in there now I might avoid a problem in the future. I snapped the pic before I wiped that excess away. That crap just oozed out from under the clamp.

My buddy that works at napa was helping me on the car last night. He left me a little "NAPA know how"...

Since my Prix still isn't rollin, and I was stuck on 3rd shift last night, did a photo shoot with my other daily driver....


Pictures don't do the color of the trees justice. Oh, got in a pursuit last week on a 3rd shift too. Guy in a Lincoln LS took out a 25 ft tall fiberglass and metal street light, blew out his front drivers tire and kept going. It was pretty epic. Watching him hit the light from half mile back as I was trying to catch up with my dinky V6...was surreal, like watching an episode of cops, lol. Then he pulls in his apartment complex, I come around the corner and he's bailing out for a foot chase...was an interesting night at work.

They are quick enough for most of what we do...until you want to catch up to someone with a V8 or larger while in a pursuit that is...lol.

I can see you recognizing someones car from here and pulling them over to just to screw with them, or thats what I would do.

Grand prix's all get a pass, maybe even a Buick here and there. I just have my eye out for a Cadi. ....lol

As I've discussed before, I work very hard to leave it at work. I'm one of only a few guys on my dept that changes to my normal clothes as I come and go. My thought behind that is when I take the uniform off at work, I'm leaving the crap associated w/work there too. I do post on here off duty about my job sometimes bc I do still (at times) have that passion and pride for what I do. I say "at times" bc my particular dept. has a lovely habit of sucking the pride and passion out of people. And I can say the part of the job I do bring home is my skills and my observation abilities etc. that allow me to better protect my family...which includes the ability to conceal carry pretty much anywhere...lol.
