Still about the same amount. I'll check the dipstick when I get home tonight then drain it.

I filled 6.6 liters into the engine for the first fill.

Just a heads up on our rad. Move the fan a little more to the middle if you have not installed one yet.

I had a leak on my fan sending unit in the rad. It was hard to get at with a wrench from the fan and blue silicone hose.

I will be using stock fans so it will be tight, bit shouldn't be an issue.

Wow, is all I can say. It is extremely nice.

One question though, why do you have a US bumper on a euro market car? Do you like the look better?

Very Very Very nice car, good luck with the clutch blled.

Car was destined for European market, then sent new to a dealer in California and sold to a person in Japan and then I brought it to Calgary. I'm the second owner.

The person who owned it in Japan did it.

Large aluminum radiator, Evans coolant and you live in Canada….I think you have the cooling covered!!

A paper gasket came with your temp sensor? Most of the ones I get have a real aluminum sealing washer.

Is it just the blue color standing out or does the engine bay look a little untidy?

But awesome looking car!

There is NO need to push the peddal when bleeding the clutch with the motive bleeder...

I will say it again, but a little different..

DO NOT push the pedal when bleeding the clutch with the motive bleeder!

And if you are installing the flex line with AN fittings between the master and slave, you can bleed the slave with it sitting in the engine bay, then fish it down to the bellhousing, it will fit, and makes bleeding MUCH easier!

Can I ask the experts for some advice?

My brake vacuum reservoir looks scruffy/peel-y.

-Is there an easy way to tidy it up/refresh the look, without removing tons of stuff?

Cheers!
