Ponies on The Run!
Yesterday I removed the bulb from the fitting I put in for the Water Temp gauge so I could run it and mount it. This morning, I started the car without thinking and it was instant Old Faithful (but in bright green).

I couldn't turn it off quick enough it happened so fast (at least I know the water pump is working good).
Coolant was EVERYWHERE... over the entire engine... it hit the underside of the hood and sprayed all over the garage wall and freezer. The shaker cover was off.
I hosed down the entire engine and blew it completely dry before starting it.
No problems... but what a pain!

How long has it been since you were supposed come get your UDP's put on?


Sorry couldn't resist. It's funny to see our resident expert mech makes a rookie mistake. Seriously though sorry to hear that. Sounds like a real pain to clean up.

I used the Hi-Temp paint, prepped and painted all 4 rotors, let them dry, mounted them, drove around the block a few times, and the pads took care of cutting nice paths for themselves...

I ordered those springs off of the same post. They look top quality, but I have yet to install them.
