crapp.. thanks craby good thing i wasnt in a rush

 

hey auto, yer to save up is the best bet. Thats what I did and the stuff I got for the suspension at the moment is just enough but the car is much better, and still need sway bars, some bushes and subframe connectors. I think I paid around $1200 for everything, not including shipping and UK taxes but thats about the cheapest I could get the parts for. I did use ebay for the KYB and got a set for $600, which is really good and the guys knew what they were talking about. UMI can also help you out, there a good bunch of guys too.

Oh yer, my antifreeze is brown too, and it is mixed. Ill change it out when I back in the UK

 

im gunna play it safe and just go with the dex cool antifreeze, as for the service records, i called 5 numbers and spoke to 2 people and none were able to help i dont feel like driving 2 hrs to go find a dealership that may still be in business. i got the tranny dipstick to come out tuff lil guy the fluid is red/pink color so im thinking it`ll be safe to change filter n fluid every.............20k miles?

 

I just had my antifreeze changed yesterday at the local Valvoline quick change place. While you can certainly drain and refill your fluid at home, there's really no match for those pressurized flush machines. My fluid was so nasty, they flushed it twice. They even vacuumed out the overflow container. All told cost me $90. When you consider the cost of the fluid for doing it twice, this is really the only way to go unless you have one of these machines at home.

 

thats true yes, but if the color is rusty, dont you think that some points throughout the system is weaker than others? and by pressuring it you`re making it more weak? ;D
