well in terms of cosmetics... my car needs alot of work... since my cars black, it kinda looks pretty good either 20ft away or in the rain / at night lol. If you look at the hood / front fenders its reall discolored by the sun and on the read bumper theres still silicon from a previous body kit that was on it i believe... and the interior needs about id say... 300~ worth of work in it.. lotta pieces missing / broken that needs to get fixed. But other than that it runs fast as hell

For the Gurus, what do you think of this coolant setup?


It's really weird to me, I helped Yoshi(Etrips) out when he thought he blew his engine and the way the previous owner set up the coolant resovior is just weird to me. Instead of pulling extra coolant from the highest point, it pulls coolant from the top of the radiator. and after the resovior bottle and filler neck are pretty much filled up, it pees excess coolant all over the ground.

I was thinking about possibly routing it back to be a stock system because it seems it would cool better, and the previous owner to him took out the low coolant level sensor.
Edit:

The way I was thinking of fixing it is explained in the attachment I edited. Red is from the filler neck to the overflow bottle Black is capped off, Blue is the replaced low coolant sensor, and yellow is the actual overflow that comes off the overflow bottle into some pressure cap that the guy installed. It only releases coolant when it's got pressure on it. like if the resovior is full. Is it ok now, or would sort of the stock overflow system work better. I'm sure Yoshi would feel more comfortable with a low coolant sensor because he just got the car, and when i helped him out it had liek no coolant in it at all.
