Sooo, my baby has been overheating and I can't drive it for more than a few miles before the engine temp skyrockets. My P0021 code went away but my fans are always on and my coolant overflowed. I changed the thermostat and radiator cap but it still overheats. I took it to a shop and they put the entire coolant system under vacuum cause apparently there was a ton of air in the system somehow and they backfed new coolant in. They seem to think its a bad water pump and that there isn't much of the blades left. So the car is going to the shop for a new pump and belt change while they're at it on Tuesday!!

 

That's a bummer. Hope it's a reputable shop.

 

Seems like a good shop, its been around since the 80s if that matters lol... Aaaaand any place with a John Wayne portrait in the lobby is alright in my book haha.

 

Ya John Wayne would ride a G fo sho lol!!

 

Would his spurs be like a parking cop wheel boot haha?

 

clean car man. sucks about the overheating issue.

 

Thanks man! Yeah hopefully ill get it sorted out by tuesday evening. There goes my paycheck lol...

 

Did u get the recall about the overheating issue fixed, I think it was with the fans or something..

 

Hopefully if your shop diagnosed the water pump as the cause of your over heating issue correctly, you'll be back on the road and lookin good again!

No, was this a recent recall? The fans work fine, but they are just constantly on cause the pump isnt working up to par. Im excited to get this all fixed and on the road!!

Ive been working on my heated seat switches. Im doing an LED swap so when my headlights are on they are lit with a white LED, but when the heated seat is on a red LED lights up too.

 

Thought i'd change things up a bit for the summer. Its just gold paint and clear coat over plastidip so i can peel it off when i get bored with it. I plan on getting Accuair E-level suspension and Work T1S with polished lip and gold faces so i was curious to see what itd look like on the car itself.

 

looks good though.

 

How much is the accuair e-level run??

 

Paint on the akebonos or pc?

 

Sucks you aren't closer to me Shane, I'd pc them for ya at work..
