So far today has been fun, full report a little later.

Thanks for stopping by Z00key!!

All good must say car looks like a bargain for the price despite needed some work but should still come out on top after all work done and registered. Maybe if some of the nice guys here will let you put up on hoist and give you an under the car report in exchange for a hug or cold one (or even beer)

Ok, So. Z00key and I went to supercheap and picked up some stuff. Charged up my battery and fitted a battery brace. Thought we'd shaved off enough of the screw.... (unfortunately we were wrong) 2 new dents on the hood :D, but with the car now starting, we went for a spin, all was good, car's running well, then it was time to try out Z00key's Integra, upon returning from a ~3minute drive, we were greeted by my driveway...covered in coolant. Not sure what the issue is, but the car stopped leaking shortly after, I cleaned off the coolant and the car stopped leaking, not sure if it's a hose, radiator or if it was over-filled.

Had to meet the Wife for Lunch, I'm home now, about to fit new wiper blades.

And yes,

I give nice hugs :D .

I've never used that stuff, only toothpaste and elbow grease but can't see how you'll stuff it up

PS morning all

I use Autosol personally.

Morning you beautiful bastards!

So, Upon starting the car this morning (to see if the battery held its charge, which it didnt, the coolant leak returned. So Im thinking cracked/loose hose possibly? the leak only occurs while the car is running.

Sounds like you better get your head in there for a look

    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365.

I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
    • Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
