Needed to put a different fan on the Z, because the new bigger intercooler pipes hit on the shroud for the clutch fan.
Bent this up out of 18 ga. aluminum and riveted the sides:
Put some studs into the shroud to mount the fan:
Mounted the shroud with some riveted aluminum tabs.
Need to make a new upper radiator retainer, but it fits pretty good.
The kiddo blasted, cleaned, primed, and painted the rest of the front suspension for the roadster.

Prolly gonna buy a new-to-me Forrester in the next couple of weeks. Need it to complete a credit card signup bonus, and I have no time for churning these days. 
I got an Amex Gold NLL offer of 150k for $10k.
Funny story, a couple of months ago I had a 175k offer (IIRC) that had a $15k requirement. I literally missed it by $27. I didn't track a return I had made.

Fuck Chase, other than Southwest.
edit: I'm a proud dad, as I was able to convince a couple of my friends to finally earn Companion Passes this year. After seeing me get free tickets for 15+ years...

I like the AB in the GB
CVT’s aren’t any better or worse than any other automatic these days.
I look forward to the inevitable cherry picked OMG CVT articles that will be posted.

You either get one that gets sent to a junkyard at 75k-80k or they last 300k with no issues. Theres not a whole lot of overlap either

I’m hoping mine is the latter. I like having cars for a long’ish time. Certainly 10+ years.

Yeah, that's literally the last I thing I care about. Orders are: reliability, fuel economy, everything else.
