Spoolfool's new Drip-Lip, oil leak catch thingy.

[SPOOLFOOL2]

I'm posting it here on this board first.
Funny, but I almost called this thing the "Turbo-Depends".
That, or "Spool-drool". My kid (Hailey) came up with the name over diner and a bottle of wine, "Drip-Lip". And so we have it...

This thing is 100% my crazy idea and creation. CharlieF1 and I pondered hours over this thing two years ago. I wasn't sure if it would fly, but he said it was worthy of doing. I did it. Charlie was also instrumental in me getting my bumper fillers off the ground. I owe a lot to that dude.

This is the first product of it's type. So far, results have been that 80% of oil leaks can be kept from dripping on the ground, track and crossover pipe. Note: Up until now, the joke has been that if it ain't leaking oil, you might want to check the oil level. I hope to change all that.

Please post feedback on this and how it works on your car and combo. I now give you...

Seriously nice product. Great idea. Oil on the crossover is getting played out for me.

Great idea! Instead of a rag/paper towel we have drip mats at work we use under dripping gear boxes. They catch and hold oil line a baby diaper holds pee. https://www.grainger.com/product/NEW-PIG-Drip-Pad-54DE90

So THAT'S what you were referring to!

This looks absolutely awesome! Incredibly practical, beneficial, and I have no doubts on the quality!

Will you have a set of these at the Bates show, so that I can take a look at them?

Mike,

I've been working on these turbo buicks since 1985 when I bought my first one brand new. It is amazing that new products are still being developed for these cars. Hats Off! Great idea!!

cool Mike

 

[TRICKSIXPA]

Yep I’m gonna put one of those pig mats in mine to suck up the oil. The surprising thing that it’s very well built it’s a thick piece of fiberglass!

 

[JAMCAR223]

Awesome! I need this. My car drives me nuts with oil on the garage floor. Sub'd pending the order / availability info.
Now when can we expect flush mounted glass for our cars?? Not kidding....

 

[BuickMike231]

Awesome idea Mike! It’s shocking this wasn’t done years ago. I’m pretty sure every single Turbo Buick left on the road could use one of these. I know I’ve got some nasty cardboard sitting under my car that tells me I do! Let us know when they are available and the cost! Thanks again for continuing to make new and unique products for these cars.

 

[turbojay]

Great idea. I'm in for a set.

 

[SPOOLFOOL2]

Thanks guys,

They go on sale tomorrow. Dennis Kirban will have them for show and sale at his big open house tomorrow. http://www.kirbanperformance.com/ Call to reserve one, as they will sell out. Boost Crew Motorsports (A vendor here) http://boostcrewmotorsports.com/ also has my stuff in stock. Price should be around 160 bucks I think. Vendor(s) control that price. I will have a bunch of them in two weeks, at the Turbo Buick .com Nats at Richard Clark's place in NC. https://turbobuick.com/forums/2018-turbobuick-com-nationals-may-2nd-5th.168/
