[QUOTE="UFO, post: 16186469, member: 28224"] That's a possibility but before this car was parked for a few years it ran fine *as is*, I'd rather not try to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to. I already need to replace the return type fuel system as the hoses are seeping, gas smells freak me out ;), and do some other stuff so trying to keep cost down. Track fees, hotel, gas/food, new alternator, new auxiliary water pump, and 4 X Nitto NT01s. Granted, it needed new tires, I was just listing how much the weekend cost me, it's kind of irrelevant and I was just bitching :(. No, and I don't know how to check. How do i know if the tank is overfilled, it's a solid tank with no fill marks? Also, is there a way to test the cap is venting properly. There's no instructions :(. Car has been sat for 2 years or so so leaking O rings would seem like the likely culprit. Hopefully. Car belonged to a friend of a friend, I know its maintenance schedule, know who did the work and know who tuned the car and the suspension so whilst I agree buying someone else's project is never a good thing I thought I would luck out here. Looks like I might have been wrong ;). No gauges at all, something I hope to remedy soon. And, again, I don't know how full is too full? When I changed the cap I drained most of the coolant out and used a flashlight to look inside, it's remarkably clean and corrosion free from what I can see. Thanks everyone for the comments, gives me something to go on.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
