i dont see why you should upgrade no point yet, if your over heating u prolly have like air in ur coolant system or a weak fan or bad thermostat. i have a fmic, 3 inch exhaust and a rad from my 95 its fine no matter what i do. also i had the same setup in my old s13 but with the rad from a 90 240, i over heated for a little while because of wiring for my fan but 1ns that was fixed it never over heated. ---

ur gas lines are leaking can u see the leak its really easy to fix a leakign gass line especially if u can see the leak, just get a pipe cutter i duno what its called exactly heres a link. cut the bad part off the line and get a hose and two clamps for each end of the hose.
