a LOT of stuff and questions; [including vidoes & pics]
Does this look alright for a twenty year old rad? I know the overflow bottle looks disgusting and it's new.
Random pic of the actuators for anyone needing them for reference.
Everything look good? Can someone point out the hose that I'm supposed to take off when I shut the car off for the night to find out why it’s flooding on a cold start?
Mmmmm gunk

What the hell is that orange stuff? Sealant?
Overall engine bay...
Not bad for OLD rims, can anyone offer any fixes for the dots and stuff on them? Pressure washer & degreaser didn’t work.
My wallpaper!
Is anyone selling one of these or will sell me this? I have to freaking hold a wire down when I start it or it wont start and so I have the cover off my ignition and it looks like someone stole my car 'aka tacky'.
20 Year Old Sub that beats the hell out of my car...

What the hell does this go to? I didn’t plug it in due to the fact the last thing I plugged in blew a fuse (the connector under the shifter...d'oh).
Is this supposed to be like this?

Is this a good acceleration? I shifted slowly due to the fact I was holding the camera and shifting at the same time...very hard; I slowed down due to traffic coming up.

the yellow plug powers up your fuel pump while the key is at the on position but not while the car is on...this helps you check for fuel leaks
the green plug is for tuning the tps (throttle positioning sensor)...this gets the EFI tuned to spec and gets it to its perfect idle...800-750 rpm...

That orange stuff is sealant and those actuators look good( I wish mine had them on it!) and the green plug you are holding is where you connect a TPS tester. Don't know what the other is it doesn't plug into anything. Hope that helps.

Actually, two lanes on both sides, the only thing bigger is the interstate around here and theres too many cops there getting out of towners.

You're going to get killed, or kill someone else.
There's no reason to be driving 100mph on city streets, with self-proclaimed traffic around you (per the video).
Good thing for me you're on the other side of the CONUS,

There was three cars that I passed, and I used my blinker and waited and wasnt weaving in and out of traffic.
For your information MR ANGEL I do 100mph regularly in my car and I've yet to have a wreck in three years of driving like so...

If you're going to be irresponsible, do in a car other than the GSL-SE. It's more valuable than you are.

You cannot honestly tell me that driving around in a FB doesnt give you an urge to speed?

I thought you said you didn't do that often.....just for the video.....
And you're a retard to be doing 100+ mph on a road with other traffic WITH soptlights. Save that stupid **** for the track. I love my FB, and I love speed...but I don't speed in my FB. When I feel the need, I head to a race track, where there are SAFTEY precautions, and an ambulance. And you endangered the welfare of your gf....nice one Einstein.

THANK YOU, someone finally sees what I'm talking about...I wasn't trying to look for a race or anything, I bought this car with my money, I pay the insurance, I pay for gas, I pay for the bills and I'm going to do what I want not because some guy on the internet told me I was wrong for speeding when there was slim to zero traffic and notice I didnt punch until I got away from traffic RETARD.
