dont forget the hoses, a lot of people change all fluids and never change a hose and sometimes they pay dearly with an overheated engine.

I'd go buy some Top engine cleaner at a GM dealership, it's kind of pricey, but you'll be surprised at how much crap blows out of your exhaust when you use it.

Just have them look over the lines, don't go and replace them if you don't have to cause chances are they'll have to custom bend them.

So i got a call today from the shop were my cars at. They said my tirerod was bent because of a previouse accident done to the right rear wheel. I thought something was up because since i bought the car the right rear wheel was chrome and the others werent. i figured he got into a wreck or hit a poll or a curb and messed up the rim. Now i know what happened. The mechanic told me it didnt look that bad though. Hope i dont find anything else like this.

Anyone have a diagram on how the coolant recovery bottle goes in from thrasher? I've had it for a while now and i havent put it in and my brother (how installed the bottle for me) put in some bottle from a civic or something as a short term replacement untill i get it in. I tried to put it in myself with my brother and a few of his friends but we didnt get it. If someone could post a pic of how they got theirs in or of some nice easy instructions that would be awsome.
Thanks
Chris
