Damn...what a night! I managed to swap the hose but the car kept overheating because there was air in the system and I didnt have the tools to fill the radiator properly. I got a screwdriver to open the bleeder valve but I opened it too far and the cap blew off and HOT coolant exploded EVERYWHERE. I was covered and my engine bay is DONE! It took me an hour to find the cap, I put it back in and refilled the radiator. That seemed to do the trick and I hit the road. I finally got in bed at about 2am.

Today, I'm going to look for a new car. I cant daily drive the G anymore...too many headaches from being too low and heavily modded. The gas mileage was killing my wallet for my 80 miles daily commute too.

We shall see what kind of sissy car I bring home LOL.

Damn, I wish I would have seen this last night... I have upper and lower sitting in my garage.

Sean (or anyone else that knows me and has my number) - if you ever need help in OC, give me a call or text.

^Thanks Mike. Luckily, we found a quick solution.

As a result of last night, I now have a brand new 2011 Honda Fit...the G is officially retired for daily use.
