Life is a learning experience. If he ***** his car up, it can always be fixed and maybe then in the future he wont make the same mistake.
With the falling prices of our cars we will encounter more and more younger buyers. But, how can we blame them? The FD is an amazingly beautiful, fast and now, inexpensive car.

Age != maturity.

I think there should be a test before being allowed to purchase an FD. It should include basic common sense questions about cars, and other things in life.
Sorry Carlo, you have flunked the test. Give your car to someone that might have a chance to pass.

Down in san diego which is were i am (as well as flip) its been near 100 degrees the past few days its no wonder his car overheated with 100% antifreeze. I run about 70% water + water wetter and the rest antifreeze.
well folks, lessoned learned again. im really good on destroying things, blowing up buildings and knocking people out in the ring but im still learning how to take care of my car. don't get me wrong i love having this car, but its like being a father for the first time. so DON"T HATE!
for the non-smart-*** ppl. thanks! really appreciate the help
about the car not starting....its just the battery...so peace

Carlo,
Anti-freeze doesn't cool as well as water... it just keeps the water from freezing. I would go 50/50 at the minimum, if not 70/30 (more water). And get a shop to put a decent water temp guage on it!

I would go with the 70/30 right now during the summer. I don't think you have much of a chance of the water in your radiator freezing in Cal. during the summer.
I think the test to own a FD should be like that commercial where the guy tackles the shopping cart so that it doesn't hit his car. Oh and you should have to read the whole Scudciriani (sp?) website before even test driving it.

Sounds like coolant ate a hole somewhere in your motor. Happened on my first turboII
