I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

help with radiator & spark plugs.

Post by perry » June 28, 2005

boooo.... bad mechanic at Firestone.
I'm currently the quasi-proud owner of an 03 civic ex. But that's gonna last about a week. I'm selling it to my roommate, and in return.... im getting his 91 CRX Si...!!!!

but the 150,000 miles it's seen, have left it with a few battle wounds.

he went to Firestone the other day to have a tuneup done, and have them look at the radiotor because his car has been running hot lately. The mechanic comes out and says the radiator is totally fucked and hes gonna have to buy a new one. I personally think it might be thermostat. Because it doesnt really overheat all that often. Just boppin around town shift at less than 3k, it sits right above the middle on the temperature gauge.
The other night i opened it up all the way through first and second and it dropped a little, to just bellow the middle of the gauge....
i dunno... i havent personally witnessed it act up... i dont think anythings wrong...
he checked it out before he took it to firestone... and his radiator was practically empty... so he filled that bitch up. but it was right after he filled it up that he said it acted up again, hence him taking it to firestone...

umm... i guess what im trying to say is... HELP!!!
fuck it
