got the new radiator core


got the piece that you guys told me to buy


installed my new radiator


old one looked banged up



me being a wanna be mechanic


HERES THE noob QUESTION #1

as i was taking off the old radiator this came out from the right side hoses??


i know i have refill the my coolant fluid again do i need to do anything else before turning the car besides making sure my crash sensors are connected on the radiator like the pic below?????


recharging my a/c is a must also...but ill do it that after the car is running im assuming,
is there anything else i need to do once everything is installed coolant liquids coolant tanks?? might as well do a oil change as well and power steering fluid change as well....any advice ill gladly apperciate it


after im done with everything im going to install my fender and top secret bumper


and i got rims too




hopefully i can before this summer, classes slowed my process ''gotta study first '' but im getting there.

Update: 04.15.12

Painted covers on and everything installed else installed.

 

So you can afford wheels and repair but couldn't afford full coverage for your car w/ like a 1000 dollar deductible?

 

Cool lookin dog Ace, too bad you didn't teach him/her to turn wrenches you'd be done!

You should paint the core support while it's out.

 

my financial state was bad in 2011 cause of tuition but it has gotten better after 2012 thats why

 

good idea.

 

haha yeah he could guard my rims at least.

 

That red fluid is most likely tranny fluid. There's a transmission cooler built into the bottom of the radiator.

 

does that i mean i have refill it drained a bit... what to do

 

you are going to need to add some tranny fluid to it, but might as well just change it while its in the air that way she will be running fresh as can be at start up and first drive after all the repairs

got the piece that you guys told me to buy

Just bought coils : )

 

a/c compressor plug. costs about 50 bucks if you ever have to replace it.

 

very nice, how low are you planning to go?
