Hey guess what happens to your project car when you've got kids on the way? You rip out your back seats -- not because you're going to the track but because you need room to bring home a crib mattress!

For those that have been following my tuck/shave engine bay project from this winter, today I finished smoothing out the engine bay today -- all that's left is some pre-paint sanding and it's good for paint

Got my windows tinted. Drivers side looks great... passenger side, not so much. Going to give them a chance to fix it before I put them on blast.

Who did the tint ? If im able to keep my sti I need to get it tinted. I have used east coast window tint for all of my cars and they have done an excellent job. Corner of dam neck and holland.

pics of crappy tint requested.

i put air in one of my tires, as it may have developed a slow leak... and still figuring out what to do with my "air in the coolant lines" issue :/

I'd rather wait to see if they're going to fix the shoddy work they did this weekend before I throw their name out there in either a good or bad way. I can say I found them through some posts by a friend in MAIC, and it surprises me I'm even having to deal with this.

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) http://i.imgur.com/iZ9zX.jpg

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".

That a p0128? Usually indicates a stuck open thermostat. Cool air at idle usually indicated air bubbles...

Not today, but last night I swapped the LEDs from STI to the BRZ.





I also stole the shift knob from my STI and put it on the BRZ. This isn't going to be on for long - just until I get a new knob with the correct reverse pattern.

yeah i think that was the code, i've burped it several times though -and upon initial install. air wide open on a cold start, the whole shebang. somehow air keeps getting in there. the expansion tank just about drains except for a little less than 1" of coolant. and after driving i open the expansion tank cap and air forces out every time.

I still think u should get a leakdown or chem test to see if your headgasket has a leak. All your prolonged symptoms ooint to it to me.

Airlift tool pulls all the air out of the cooling system, then you re-fill the cooling system with non air in it.

I've wanted to get one for a while now, maybe its time I bite the bullet and get it.

I still don't think its a head gasket, I drove around for three months with the same issues about a year ago, not knowing that I had a failed thermostat, I just figured that's what you got when you have a cold thermostat + cold ass weather.

Bring ur car over one day before the sun goes down and we can go over the cooling system once more for leaks, and hopefully burp the bastard for the last time.

Not always, i thought the same thing until my 02 motor had the exact same symptoms as yourself. If that super air burp'er tool does not work(I HOPE IT DOES) , Look around for a shop to test/ purchase to use this here---> U-View Hydro Carbon Radiator Leak Cooling System Tester.

Fingers crossed for you. I like to think positive.

If you have a coolant pressure tester you can hook it up and charge the system. Start the car and see how fast the pressure climbs. Slow increase hg is probably ok. Quick climb in pressure I would look into hg or cracked cyl head. Just went through this same issue with my cousins Pontiac minivan. Turned out cracked cyl head.

Just a thought
