Nope--you weren't the only one to see that Green coolant. I've only had the car for two years and knew of that issue and is now back in compliance with 000-043-305-75-G40 coolant.

Niiice..

good to run the proper stuff. Especially if Pink and green have been mixed--- thats a major cause for a proper flush.

Put on some new shoes this weekend. And then had to fix the minor rubbing of the rear wheel liner.

Used my car to boost my father's GT2 - he ended up needing a new battery. Amazingly, I think it was the original part (16 years old).

Then pulled off the bumper to clean my radiators. My car has 96k miles on it and I don't think it's ever been done. The amount of crap built up in there was disgusting - I'm amazed that the car hasn't been over heating. Was able to get them pretty clean using just a hose. I had to soak the areas that were built up with sand and had almost turn to concrete.

Default Window regulator cables



Swapped out a the drivers side window regulator. The broken green/blue bits allowed for slack in the cable which prevented the the window from correctly dropping when the door is opened

Did you put in OEM or aftermarket regulators? And if aftermarket, did the replacement work perfectly? I've heard some problems mentioned in the past with brand new aftermarket regulators.

I went with an aftermarket regulator. I didn't notice any issues with the regulator. Adjusting the window for proper alignment can take some time though.

Yeah, I still have a bit of a high speed whistle coming from the front corner of my window that I haven't been able to adjust out yet. Only evident above 60 mph, so it's hard to get mamy iterations of adjust/test/readjust when I try to dial it out. Perhaps it's never going away without replacing the window seals, which look great but after all are now pushing 17 years old.
