As you can see the car is on the lift and the radiator and inter cooler are off getting cleaned. Funny story about that. The shop took off the parts and set them aside for the night. They were going to take them to get Sonic Cleaned the next day. When they came into the shop the next morning they noticed a large line of ants through the office and into the shop area. Apparently the ants had found the radiator and inter cooler and were feasting on all of the dead bugs stuck in the foils. They said that was a first! Right now the car is waiting for its bits and pieces back. There were a couple of surprises when they put it on the lift. turns out the radiator was rubbing on the frame. We will have to notch out some sections so that this will not continue to happen. Again, this radiator will not be staying around so we are doing quick fixes until the new parts make it onto the car. We also found that a coupler under the car is too close to the headers and is blistering. Luckily we found this as it was about to blow and that would not have been something that I could have fixed very easily at Pikes. We are going to make some changes to the way this system flows so that this will not happen again. That is about all that is happening with the car.

I bet those are illegal alien ants from Mexico that hid in there and are making a break for it.
