new radiator


Dont know if i mentioned this in the last post. but the car has been plagued with overheating problems. the old radiator was leaky and had a few issues. so i purchased a new one for a Nissan B14 and installed it in the car (i swear this car is half B14 now).

i had to modify the lower mount to get it to work along with cutting a few hoses but it fit now, haven't had the chance to test it really just left it idling in the drive way. while the temp stayed down i wasn't too impressed with a few aspects of it. such as excessive bubbles in the overflow bottle.

however at least the system pressures up nicely now. so less air trapped in the cooling loop. will have to test it and see how it goes. if anything. time for a trip to the mechanic

see ya
