Well I was driving home from work and my awesome E36 cooling system takes a shit on me. The upper hose nipple blew off the radiator. Then they must have had an orgy because there was liquid gushing out of the house all over my engine bay. So while I was in there I cleaned it up some. I went with the fully aluminum radiator, thermostat cover, 78 degree Celsius thermostat, race spec water pump, electric fan, belts, gaskets, hoses, and a new intake. Here are some pictures of the progress. Runs great, feels a little stronger at speed. I’m interested if I will see an increase or decrease in fuel economy.
Future: exhaust, s50 manifold and a tune, new fog lights, maybe rimz
Yah! I love mail…
At least I have a car to get my parts with…over night parts from Hitler! Yah
All done and cleaned up a little…
I raced some guy in an Edge style drop top mustang, and kept up really good with it. I had three people in my car, he was alone, and it had rimz and exhaust. I want to be able to be mustangs lol…
yah yah yah yah yah 🙂

The one old guy at the BMW dealership was totally digging the vette.
“That’s not a bad back up car you got there” -old man laughing as I place coolant in my hatch.
