You're My Boy, Blue

[ScottyB]

grabbed me a hefty mug of coffee and poked around under the hood this morning because it was too nice out to avoid some garage time.


interestingly, this Si was actually a Canadian delivery in Ontario, and stayed there for the first year until it lived the rest of its time in GA.  if it ever saw snow, it certainly wasn't much....there's a dusting of rust on the battery tie down and that's it, which i'll just hit with some black spray enamel this weekend.

because of this the car came with a guage cluster that only shows temps in C and not F.  unfortunately i can't program that out, the only solution is a cluster swap, and i'm not going to bother.  so, looks like i have to give up my Imperial ways and learn how those hosers tell temps in Canadaland.  also, 8,000!  i'm gonna clean up at racewarz


i found some weirdness under the hood in the form of this thing.  


this module was mounted on the shock tower and had leads to the battery.  i came to find out its one of these "electromagnetic rust inhibitors" of what i would probably describe as having a....dubious...reputation for effectiveness.  points to the PO for at least trying? but yeah, not even those super legit scientists at :45  :lol:  can keep this from leaving via the trashcan.  

It's a car!

i'm going to need to see your work, sounds like fake news
