so yesterday, i raced a decked out STi, we raced 5 times, and on the 5th race, at the top of 3rd gear, my car started smoking and coolant hit my windshield.

we went back to the parking lot after i thought i blew my car up, and saw the hose that goes from the coolant reservoir wasn't connected anymore. The nipple that goes into the engine was actually pulled out and still inside the hose. I pulled it out of the hose and hammered it back into the block, but it seems like its going to come back it, its just pressed in there.

can i buy a new adapter or something, i didnt see how that goes into the engine whether its directly into the block or into some kind of adapter. and has anyone else had this problem? it scared the sh!t out of me

btw, i beat the STi on the last 3 races 2-3

I/C Manifold is what you need.
Call Steve at Tousley.

OR

Try to weld it. I believe it's crap metal, so it may be difficult.
If you suceed, let us know.
