s5 thermostat housing plastic piece on N/A's

N.RotaryTech · 03-09-2009, 01:32 PM

I got some exhaust tubing pieces and have cut & grinded them down so they are at a 45* angle.

Thanks to some other annoyances I'm still working on this.

Still I need ideas of what to coat this thing with. High-temp paint?, epoxy? what?
I'm going to make this thing last a lifetime. lol.

***TitaniumTT*** · 03-11-2009, 11:09 AM

That's what I would do

N.RotaryTech · 03-11-2009, 11:10 AM

The sizes were a little off here an there, but it all worked out.
I had it welded at a welding shop I found down the road, nice ppl.
I painted it w/engine paint.
Total cost came to $40.

And it doesn't leak.

what did you do about the inside? are your worried about corrosion?

***TitaniumTT*** · 03-11-2009, 11:53 AM

I was gonna say, that's TIG welded. It you were going to have it welded, I DEFINATELY would've gone with aluminum and not worried about corrosion (as much)

N.RotaryTech · 03-11-2009, 01:43 PM

Inside is painted too.

2 things I don't like are, the coolant hose is stretched over the neck, and its a little to high, my homemade strut tower bar won't fit over the hose.

lol, I have a feeling the home-made modifications on this car will pick-up this year.
I have ignored a lot of things. Yet this car runs great, I love it.
Some mods might be: remoded CAI, OMP lines, redo block-off plates (ones on there are rusting.), grounding, etc.

Well, I got my S5 water neck brand new for $60 from Atkins Rotary, and with your's being $40, it's cool as heck!

Take that and stick it on an S5. The S4 assembly WILL fit on the S5 front cover, how do I know? Because, a good friend of mine has done it.

Also, the S6 waterpump assembly will fit on a cosmo. How do I know this, becuase I've done it. If you want to get your panties in a bunch ted, you're wrong in saying they are not interchangeable. Maybe waterpumps and housings aren't, I am CERTAIN of that, but assemblies are. Stop spreading misinformation.

Jeez, are we done now?

Yep, but you're wording implies EVERYTHING is interchangable.
I KNOW the S5 "assembly" with NOT fit on an S4 front oil cover.
Why don't you admit you're _)@$%_)$ wrong.

Coming from you, that's hysterical. You have that problem. Like I said, are we done now?

Max777 · 03-12-2009, 10:15 PM

Come on guys let's leave the "other forum" disputes on the other forum? however I do apreciate that this didn't blow up too much.

I think I worded my replies a lot clear than yours.
I still think your English skills stink.

How convenient...
You post such BS, it's not even funny.
You claim I've *NEVER* backed down and "I'm always right."
I've admitted I've fucked up a lot of times on the other forum - it's convenient that you don't seem to recall any of those times.
I've never see YOU admit you're wrong - pot calling the kettle black?
There's even a recent post about distributors and points that I've cleared admitted I fucked up.
Open yours eyes before you go accusing people WRONGLY like you're doing to me.

So the other day, my neighbour comes over.

Says "hey, you sonofabitch! your dog came over to my yard and beat the crap out of my cat"

"oh really?"

"yeah, he chewed the tail right off poor mr. whiskers!!! What are you going to do???"

I says - simple, take your cat into Walmart, they're the biggest re-tailer around.
