AN fittings, where to buy them in the greater Seattle area? I have a good online source but with my limited time to work on the car, id rather not wait a week for shipping.

Does it have to be fancy aluminum AN stuff? 37* JIC fittings are compatible and don't command the premium of uttering "AN". Plus, they're available and almost every truck hydraulic hose shop. I usually go to Western Fluid Components in Totem Lake.

^ I have a story about the first car. I'd be willing to bet that it will have some problems...

I wanna hear this story.. I was there first person to go see the car when it was first listed for sale at 10k. I'd love to have the recaros out of it. Lol

Man, that car has been listed EVERYWHERE!

BAT, eBay, CL..etc.

If anyone is genuinely interested in buying that car, send me a pm and I'll tell you what I know about it. I'm not going to discuss it in public.

Good to know, that should save me some time and money!
Thanks!

Really curious on the story, I like the color/style there.

I just made myself look stupid. I was talking about the first ix previously, not the Hartge car.

^^ that car isn't quite what the guy describes. Ran a carfax on it and had an odometer discrepancy. Someone swapped it out. Car has well over 350k miles. Lol

[RainRider]

That's good to know. I'll stop looking at it. Been watching it since it was on Fox island for sale.

I may still have the screen shots of the car fax when I asked the owner about it. he claims the engine was swapped but has no record of it.

Looks like I'm getting the water pump won't seal issue.

Thanks e30, parents saying it leaks coolant into srip pan.

Ha, I think ill check it out, could be I slapped it on too quick for that meet in chicago. Or it just got cold and the seal shrunk.
