Hey all, it was an early day for me, and I didn't get a chance to post....

Got pulled over for 61 in a 50 on the way to work, but only got a ticket for not showing proof of insurance.. The kicker is...he didn't ask for it.

did you not have proof with you? If you did, I would have said something when he makes you sign the ticket

I believe the pressure release valve is the radiator cap itself (IIRC it is rated to somewhere around 19.5 psi).

mr.jar

thanks for the confirmation on the blue coolant. you see, that's wat i thought i read before and i posted that and someone said no. im glad i wasn't just seeing things...

hi mr.gale-

im talking about the valve that's on the large hose (top side of engine bay). after you drain the cold coolant out, i remove this valve on the hose so that when you pour new coolant into the radiaor, the air bleeds out to eliminate airbubbles. (might be called bleeder valve? not sure the terminology).

haven't taken a close look on the Z, but i think it should be near the firewall.

oh no... I am not a smoker, never tried a "sip" or whatever, I don't hate smokers but I don't do that...

I just found that thing is interesting if someone is using it as a light..

I use the one inside the console for the phone..
