Exhaust Collaboration Comparison Video?

The easiest solution then would be to pour a little wiper fluid on the garage floor next to the current puddle/stain and compare the two...

If you have the means, set up a video camera and film for a couple of hours to see if you can locate were the leak is from.

Did that, but didn't have enough left over to determine for sure. I has to be the washer fluid, it's not viscous enough to be anything else.

I don't. Sorry for jacking your thread. I think I'm gonna go get it washed and I'll see you guys there.

Oh okay, I didn't know you were still coming. Great...see you there!

Forget about evaporating (which it doesn't indeed). In order for tranny oil to run like that on a relatively flat garage floor it'd have to be a gallon. Only a watery fluid does that, so it was either coolant or washer fluid. If you filled washer fluid beyond the max level, that's it. It'd take you a minute to determine which one. So AJAX, stop making excuses and go participate in the video shooting

Can't wait to hear how a stock car sounds. Glad there're TWO

. And make sure cars are still accelerating PAST the camera

. And careful with the cops folks; don't want to see a thread raising money to pay for speeding tickets

Yeah, props to Frank for his hard work with the camera and video taking.

Definitely washer fluid. Glad this ain't a piss test:

frankzlin79 · 09-19-2009, 10:04 PM

Yeah it was hot. Next photo shoot, will be INSIDE the garage.

I'm sure somebody did call the cops to report the excessively loud exhaust noises that we made. I don't blame the cop for thinking we were drag racing, though, because our cars were in the perfect position to do a 2 mile quarter mile Fast N Furious style.

I just spent 3 hrs processing the photos. I think I took way too many. But here are the best ones:

You could always just say it was an Individual color selection.
