It was pounded into me that you never run without a thermostat because you overcool part the engine while the other part overheats. The constant flow creates a bypass, at least on some engines. We had tried a reducer before, and still had the problems. Hondas have a reversed system, and that just complicates the whole issue. The thermostat is connected to the bottom hose, and that is the one I think is collapsing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poorboy Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 If you are concerned about hoses collapsing get large springs and inset them in the hoses. Lots of hoses already come with these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam78 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Lloyd-I know, I never understood that as far as the driving through the kitty litter either. At SAS when my right rear tire was going down, we found a small, maybe not even a centimeter long, piece of metal in it. But it poked a nice sized hole in the tire. I've felt the same way you do about the 78 car. It's almost legendary, lol. But it's run up front and won races in the past, so I don't see why it wouldn't be able to now. Like you said, after some good driving and hard work on the car, it could be leading the feild someday. Randy Larsen is always in the top 5, top 10 somewhere. I'm starting to get the hang of it.

tps48 Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Hey Lloyd, I've had those springs get sucked out of hoses before, one even poked a hole in the hose. I would use aluminum tubing instead with short hosesat each end, but you probobly thought of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your doing fine. You are staying down when the faster cars are coming, but still out there getting seat time. I look forward to the day that I can walk over and congratulate you on taking that bug to victory lane. I will be able to say "I drove that bug before..." If you do a search, a while back I posted that someone would build a bug that would be setting the new pace. Low and behold, Randy shows up. Keep up the good work!!

Hartracn19 Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 PoorBoy - Thanks, that is what the plan was to do this weekend. Not even sure if that is the problem or not, but at this point I am willing to look at it as cheap insurance. In fact, I will probably change both hoses... LOL (One already has the spring, but it has more than a couple races on it. LOL Mike - I had one do that many years back, but haven’t had one happen since. As I recall, the one I had a problem with was the one that flowed back into the radiator. The hose was collapsing, and when I took the hose off, half the spring was fed into the radiator. Again, haven't had that problem in a long time, but I have heard lots of stories of that happening. ...And with the luck I have had this year with parts , where do I find aluminum tubing?

Yeah, but NASCAR has there own problems too. For instance the Chase format. Brian France wants that changed somehow. But everyone else thinks it's just fine. The only reason France wants it changed is cause Jr. and Gordon didn't make it last year. And Gordon, Jr, and possibly Stewart are on the verge of not making it again. Which is stupid, even Jeff admitted last year that the 24 team didn't deserve to be in the Chase anyways. But like you said, somebody needs to get NASCAR to crawl out of the hole they're in and show Tony who really runs the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Mike, that is the plan, after all!! BTW - Doesn't apear to be a collapsing hose, so we have rerouted the hoses (again,) and we will see. I think we should stay cooler this go round (I hope ) and should be able to finally see what the ole Honda can do at SAS. See yall there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartracn19 Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 im getting tired of nascar the real raceing is gone now its all about money . You beat me to the punch. Seems like not only Nascar, but what all of America is about anymore. Gone are the days of real customer service and caring for one another... Except in Saturday night racing!! That's what I love about racing in TPS. We can get out there banging door handle to door handle in the heat race, and then help each other out to make sure everyone is able to race again in the feature. Ain't life just grand!! As far as most of the Nascar drivers go, only a handful still "get it." Great to hear the new young humble drivers who are just glad to be able to be where they are, (and I hope they stay that way...)!! Hamlin, Edwards, and a few others are great to hear after a race as opposed to the young cocky ones who think they are owed the chance because they are legends in their own minds.

HiTech Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 whats wrong with being a legend . in your own mind . im one i cant help it if no one see.s it lol .i hope that the drivers you talked about stay humble . i remember the days of unlocked doors . handshake being the word you could trust . it was [we] in those days now its[ me ] .[ I ] and [ MYSELFS ] and i try to still be a [ WE ]. and it gets harder to find a we .kids now days dont learn the we . hell they go to work and dont do anything .lazy .and then want more money .or i have a hand nail cant work today sorry . i work with the flue broken bones etc im 50 years old and fat can out work most kids thease days . 20 years from now im worried that there wont be a [we] insight that we could find .but atleast i try and teach my 14 year old son to be a [we ] .
