    Updates? I haven't touched it since the last posts really... crappy long winter is crappy and long, lol. It's sitting under the lift and about impossible to work on. When the weather warms up and STAYS warm, it'll get pushed outside the garage and worked on.

    I need to check compression, as it got REALLY hot last year when the thermostat took a shit when I was an hour from home and I limped it back.

    Made a coolant surge tank/fill point, as the problem I was having was a massive air bubble in the system and it was causing me to see much lower temps than the ECU was seeing, hence the fans running allllll the time. I sent the water pump in for a rebuild last month since it started making noise, sure enough one of the bearings needed replaced.

    That combined with the clutch never fully disengaging and my fuel somehow boiling out of the vent line......... kept me from driving it.

    Sooooooo yeah. Will work on it when it gets a little warmer

    But I did buy a Fiat and a bike so... we shall see.

    Jesus!!! I want to move out to Ohio and live with you, cause you've got the best toys! Beautiful bike, and an Abarth too?!? So much driving fun! Do you even have enough time to drive all of these? (if not, I'll be right over).

    hahaha time will tell, I got the Abarth last month and the bike a week and a half ago.

    Phat: no, put money down on Abarth (36 mos) and stretched loan out on 899 (72 mos) so payments were lower just switched jobs, wanted a bike for years so I made sure to get one before my job history went to shit lol. Can always sell it if need be.... both loans are 1.74% so I'm pretty happy.

    One of your Italian machines should be named "Il Duce".
