Sending my car over seas

[bigtow]

Coolant flush.

Get an extra set of radiator hoses and clamps.

Bring an extra water pump. I changed my OEM one out with an aftermarket one from Pep Boys and it's lasted me 5 years, unlike the GM one that craps out after one.

Get some water wetter from Redline (now sold at Pep Boys).

Pack a small toolbox with basics. Pliers, a hammer, channel locks, screwdrivers, duct tape wrapped in clear plastic wrap, flares, and a saw.

You should be fine.

You gotta keep in mind that our cars do not exist in Europe, especially in Greece. They only see our cars in the movies. Double

Have an awesome time in greece man A couple of my friends I went to HS with are both 100% greek and are there right now as we speak. They both always have a blast when they go....sounds like a fun place to spend the summer.

Hopefully your charging problems are the cause of your overheating. With my 160 t-stat and fan reprogramming, I too never see anything north of about 180-185ish. I wouldn't think you have any air trapped in your system because I would assume it would get hotter than that...but it's worth a shot if all else fails.

Have a blast this summer....and if you don't mind me asking, where in greece are you going to by the way?

[DJ Taso]

where in greece are you going to by the way?

Thessaly, it's way up North. It's the second largest city in Greece next to Athens.

That's awesome....I know exactly where that is.

Hopefull some time 2 summers from now (next summer I'll be at school), I'll be going to greece with one of my buddies. We'd be staying with relatives he has over there. They live actually not too far Thessaloniki, in Edessa. It's about as far north, but a bit to the west as well.

That is so not true. There are tons of f-body enthusiasts in Europe. I get lots of hits on my website from European bulletin boards and users. I even helped a guy by email that owns his own ski lodge and has an LT1 in a 1st gen Camaro, lol!

Whoa! That's something new..

Ok, am I the only one who is curious how much $ you are going to be spending to ship the T/A over there? LOL Care to tell us, man? If ya don't want to, 'sokay, I am just really curious. I would think that it would be mucho moola.

[Dan B. 96 T/A]

you must Respect His Authority!

Yer d*mn straight.

Hey Taso, GREAT JOB ON THE MIX!! Can I come to Greece?! How long you going for? Always wanted to go there.

[DJ Taso]

Ok, am I the only one who is curious how much $ you are going to be spending to ship the T/A over there?

$2,070.00. The company is called Kronos Shipping located in Chicago. It takes 6 weeks to get there by boat. First stop is New York, Barcelona, then to Athens. I then arrive at Athens airport and pick it up at the dock which is about 20 minutes away. My car leaves next week. I'm probably going to leave it there so I can always have a car to drive whenever I go again.

What you gonna get *coughC6cough* for here, when you return?

Or maybe ya got the GTO bug now eh?

Have fun there man!

BTW - I would like to also add to the compliments on the music you have been sharing. I have been enjoying it a lot, even though its not my "kind" music (which says a lot). My wife and 6 yr old son on the other hand, are going absolutely nuts over it. Thanks from all of us.

Taso - Check the wire that goes from the alternator to the + on the bat. Mine burnt out after riding on the edge of that yellow line. Might be a good idea to upgrade to a 4 or 2ga wire. Now mine barely ever goes below the middle line on the gauge. Also do the same on the ground side.
