I'll take some tonight with my camera. Cell phone doesn't do the crappiness justice.

Side note... link to thread describing issues with your coolant issues?
i think ive posted in this thread before, but here's the jist:

new CX racing aluminum radiator
new ancillary hoses
new grimmspeed 160F thermostat
new hose clamps

somehow the coolant drains out of the expansion tank and goes into the reservoir, but doesn't pump back into the system when the car is running. the tsat runs wide open, and therefore the car runs very cool (water temp stays here -or lower sometimes)

no leaks to my knowledge, no coolant burning off, vents deliver cold air when stopped. after driving if i park and twist the expansion tank cap, itll spew out air under pressure. where it comes from? i dont know when jim and i installed the tstat there were no leaks and the car held it's coolant just fine -even the heaters worked.

the car also has been throwing CEL's for something along the lines of "thermostat activating too cold".
