Are those the same as OEM gaskets? If so then while they are supposed to be single-use, I'm not sure I've ever replaced one and they've been on/off the car... many times.

Same style of construction as stock, not the same dimensions as stock as these are specific to the Racing Beat exhaust. I don't think that Fel-Pro PN would even fit in the clearance recess in the stock parts. In my experience they are single use but I guess YMMV.

Tracking number for replacement battery magically appeared, it should arrive on the 11th

 

Is it a resurrection of it was never dead? 🤔🤔🤔

​​​​​​AND yes, it's a bit of beeefffff. Hopefully no roll needed. Hopefully. Because I gave back the fender roller some time ago 😅
Oh yeah, good to be back? I think? Hah! We went from 95°-92° peak to 72° and rain. Progress is slow, but it's progress! FedEx delivered my battery today, maybe I'll try and start it tonight! I should probably hook up the exhaust first.
I think I signed up for Saturday? Sounds like something I'd do. I should check.
YEEEEEEEEE!

 

new battery who dis



12.85v out of the box. Lessgooooo

 

Is not PC680?

I am using the Fullriver equivalent, in Aeroflow mount, stock location..

 

Nice (catch) cans

 

It is a PC680... I've noticed when I bought the Odyssey for the NA a while ago that they seem to be dropping those PCxxx family names and instead referencing the actual model number. There's actually a bunch of different "PC680" versions depending on if you want the one with the metal lined puncture resistant case, metric or SAE terminals, reversed +/- terminal locations, etc etc. I guess it makes sense because I could absolutely see someone just generically ordering the first/cheapest "PC680" in a Google search and not paying attention to the details, then arguing with the vendor that they sent them the "wrong" one.

The one I bought is actually listed as "Odyssey ODS-AGM16L (PC680)" on the invoice but it doesn't have the PC680 listed anywhere on the battery itself. In fact, I called the vendor after I ordered it to make sure they actually had it in stock and could ship it immediately. The person on the phone said they had never heard of a PC680 and it wasn't in their system, but the ODS-AGM16L was in stock and would ship immediately.

Anyway, I got a battery. It's probably better than the old dead one 😁

 

Thanks! Got them used super cheap a while back. IIRC they were part of a vehicle specific kit (Subaru maybe?) that got pulled off a wrecked car. Mounts and hoses were fucked but cans were fine. Radium was kind enough to sell me the Miata specific dual mount a la carte and some fittings to make it work. Fits and works great! Love me some Radium parts.

 

Oil: changed
Battery: installed
Racing Beat Header & Midpipe: installed and sealed

Started on the first crank! Stock ECUs are so amazing.

I thought I had a couple of fresh bottles Motul RBF660 but it turns out that is not the case. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to leave the potentially 'wet' year+ old Motul in there or flush it out with FLAPS fluid of some sort. Unfortunately, nobody local seems to sell anything more exotic than Lucas. I guess I'll look on Amazon tonight, but that's the last thing before it goes on the trailer.

 

Our standard shipping is 2-day FedEx Express if that helps, and we have both 600 and 700 on the shelf.

Looking forward to seeing you next week!

**Edit, we don't have 660, we have 700

 

Ahh, no worries I found some fluid in the garage


Should be fine.

YAY! Ed's gonna get awkward hugs!!!

 

bahaha can't wait

 

@turbofan What's the dealio with 600 vs 660 vs 700? For my application these all appear to be interchangeable. Sorry I'm an idiot, but remember I literally still have Super Blue in the garage. Just higher temp limits? I feel like I'm missing something here with the Motul stuff.

 

Yup, higher temp limits. If you have ATE that is still good, just use that.

 

Awesome, thanks dude

 

 

No sadness! He made it! He was super tired but he was there, driving on track. I has proof somewhere

 

Thread drift, but I remember you saying you had a tr6 at one point. That had to be 10 years ago, IDK why I remembered that considering I can't even remember **** that happened to myself that long ago.

Anyways, you still have that Triumph TR6?

 

Been a while, so I messaged G couple of weeks ago and got no response. Anybody know if he is ok?
