$900!  Did anyone else notice that the coolant hose from the T-stat is different?

looks like the waterneck is stock, I can't really tell a difference in the hose.  Is yours different than that?

Yeah, my hose goes underneath (the stock) air intake tube, to the radiator... The Ebay one goes over... strange

Maybe it's modeled after the stock hose, but the bend is towards the radiator instead of towards the other end like it should be. :icon_question:

They got the hose in backwards maybe?

Well i can get some pic up here soon,, but heres the scoop.... The only thing wrong with the car was coil packs, not any injectors!!!! And of course the Crossover is cracked!!! So im not getting any performance out of the car.. I added a clamp on air filter, oil breather filter, and a blow off valve... of course i replaced the coil packs and it runs like a champ... but with the crossover being cracked and getting worse i really cant drive the car.. On top of it all the PM3 leaks... what a surprise!! so along with the crossover i have to repair the brakes... i bought a Spare PM3 for parts but i will see what really happens.. but the car drives and handles really well and i am surprised.. thhe interior is fairly clan and has 105,000 miles on it now... Just shifts real hard into second.. it chirps them but also has a bang like a bad mount... let me know what else you need to know... thanks :icon_biggrin:

I had the "hard 1-2 shift" problem on mine- it is a combination of 2 problems.  1. Make sure there is a check valve on the transmission- it is common of them to go missing!  HELP! #47150.  2. Bad lower engine mount- they are hydraulic filled and go bad.  Can be replaced with a solid rubber one from Napa for $40.  Easy fixes.
Good luck and nice grab on the car! :thumb:  I'm in MN too.

I think, also, besides the lower motor mount, the tranny mount may be bad...My lower engine mount was replaced, hoping that the clunking would go away, but I believe I need to change the tranny mount to stop it.
