Got the Uview 550500 HD - I am replacing the two hoses (to/from) the radiator. Driver's side is showing some cracks Passengers side is a hodge podge of 4 piece of rubber and two metal tubes connected together. Plan to replace both with stainless hose.

So, where is the best place to drain the cooling system? I need to replace the front hoses to/from radiator.

Great starting point - many thanks

Perhaps a dumb question, but do I fill the cooling system using the pressure tank? Looking at the schematics it looks as if the coolant has to travel thru the block before heading to the radiator from this tank. Any idea how much total coolant I need (LS3) - also should I run 50/50?

Thanks for the info. If the existing fluid isn't too discolored, how do you tell when you are done?

I bought a Motive Products power brake bleeder. My plan is to flush the brakes and clutch fluid given it's 3 years old. Documentation talks about pressuring the system to the manual specifications. 10 lbs seems to low, 20 seems to high. Does anybody have any experience using this product with...

So, now I am confused. I was already to build the shroud (mine fans are zip tied to the radiator with industrial ties). But in reading this thread it would appear shroudless is the way to go? Seems like Fran is not in favor. On another note, I am in the process of replacing my radiator...

In the garage next to the German beetle.

Here are a couple or shots now that is home.

I just purchased one so I can give my experience Getting the title was no problem (Montana) Inspection same - verified vin and that it was in fact a car Getting insurance was only slightly harder. The specialty claims market takes a little longer but I was able to get fully coverage in 4...

Same issue for me. I was looking at the prospect of an 1100 mile trip in a car I don't know and driving mostly at night. The idea of sitting on the side of the road in anywhere, USA convinced me otherwise. Shipper is picking up tomorrow at two and they tell me if will be in Atlanta sometime...

I found a shipper to pick up tomorrow with an enclosed trailer. Given the time constraints this is probably the best plan. I want to get it home and some maintenance and fluid flushes before I get on the road. Thanks again for the advise.

I just bought the black rapier SLC that has been listed here. Seller is located in Boston - flying out tomorrow to take possession. Would you drive it back to Atlanta? I really would like to but maybe common sense should prevail?
