Re: Coolant explosion

Hell yes, I found the leak after about 10 minutes of looking and letting the car warm up. The hose from the FIAV to the heater line had a crack in it, got it replaced and no more leaks.

Pete and I took it out for a drive afterwards, not too bad but a really stiff suspension that's for sure, glad I took the poly mounts out of it, much more DDable for some kid if I adjust the suspension to be not so stiff.

The only real problem was the vacuum caps on the TB popped off, need to get new ones and zip tie them this time. Also the exhaust is slip fit and we hit something which knocked the exhaust apart, open downpipe is pretty loud and obnoxious, perfect for the rice rocket.

Is there anybody just riding to the cookout tomorrow and can drive this car from Maple Grove Parkway to rogers? It's just 5 ot 6 miles away from the cookout location, and right off 94.

Re: Coolant explosion

I figured from what you said it would be the FIAV hoses.

Glad you got it fixed!
