Shrike360 wroteSealed it up Friday, took it out for a few test drives without issue. Took it out for a hike at the lake this morning, with plenty of back roads to play on. No drips! Did notice this afternoon some twat put gum on my rear bumperESS said they still think it was the hose, but I can simply reseal the fitting otherwise and that they can reimburse. Shop didn't have time to get to it until next week, so I was in an "F it" mood, and decided to work on it tonight. Got the fitting off, cleaned and resealed. Will let it sit overnight, reassemble tomorrow. Honestly, didn't seem like it was well sealed from them. Hose was on there good after dropping off at the shop, cut off a bit at the end to make sure I get a good clamp. Also, decided it would be good to de-burr the end of the barb. Fingers crossed the issue is fixed.
Will say, location/height of the coolant reservoir makes it pretty easy to get coolant out of the manifold. Definitely some good thinking going on with the design.
. Perfect weather today; mid 60s with a high of 72, supercharger was very happy (IATs in the mid 80s). Going to be a fun fall, then car gets put into hibernation.The ESS G1 really is a blast. Have to adjust my driving style a bit, the 2 to 3 hard shift is a bit easier to miss now. Easy to slam into the limiter in 2nd. Really elevates the power delivery overall, and is still incredibly tractable. Was surprised my 285 PS4S' were holding up in 2nd gear. First just spins though, and if you hit a damp patch you need to watch it. Need to be a bit more careful with throttle inputs, but it's just so easy to go fast.
