In reference to the above....

Random Fact #333 - Drinking too much coolant causes Glycol poisoning which is fatal. The only known cure for this is to get absolutely hammered on good schnapps. The components of schnapps turns the glycol poision in your kidneys into a harmless substance that you are likely to splash your shoes with :D ##

##Disclaimer - I do not recommend or endorse trying this out, but it is true.....apparently :D

I don't think you can say you are a true car enthusiast until you've managed at least one mouthful of coolant..

Though I highly recommend avoiding this situation

And I really don't recommend accidentally swallowing it too.. :D

Fact 66666: One mouthful of coolant won't kill you, but you definately won't feel well for a while.. :D

No1 ever taste coolant; was an incident in panama a while ago where diethylene glycol was added to cough medicine by accident and alot of people died + many still suffering.

yep its bad shit, my dog got very sick one night and I thought she had drunk coolant...rushed to the vets for testing if she did they said there was no way to save her, thankfully she had not...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Had a chat to Tony Mamo - he advised that looking at the graph's shape (regardless of number translation) it shouldn't be levelling off like that up top. He said it looks like the car is running a restrictor plate or something of that nature. Luckily the last dyno pull on E85 was saved to the PC - So I did a quick trace of Barometric KPA vs Intake manifold pressure, and lo and behold I see a copy of the 'waves' I was seeing on the dyno: I'm not entirely sure how to go about addressing this. It may be worth sacrificing IAT to run a more direct intake for the motor. Though packaging this could be flat out impossible given the constraints of the car. I should have removed the intake pipe to see if this made a difference but looking at this graph I now have something to potentially test in the future and think about. This one is from an old track day log in the OLD setup going through gears on track.

      Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.
