5 minutes my *ss. I'd like to kick this car off a tall cliff right now.
5 hours and haven't even tried to take off the 90 angle hose under the thermostat housing. there's so much other crap in the way, almost zero clearance and my favorite 1+hr delay trying to fish out a rachet and mini extension (which I had to ghetto rig in the first place to be able to back the nuts off the water housing since there's no clearance.) PS fluid everywhere, and I just learned that in addition to a $60 - $110 PS pressure line, my complete rack is f*cked up and pouring fluid out either end. This is really been a great car the first 2 weeks. I knew the seller was lying when he said stupid shit like "It just needs some PS fluid and it's fine", and "it just needs some coolant - here I'll add a gallon and everything's fine". Don't worry i didn't believe that then and challenged him. I badgered down the price to 1400$ cash and now I am thinking that it may not have been a good idea.I think I hit the turbo 2x and enjoyed a few sunny days with top out and now nothing is going right with this.
I also enjoy having to call at least 5 to 10 parts stores to find basic parts for this car. And when they keep insisting I'm really asking for the thermostat gasket when I want a water outlet housing gasket. "Is it round, right?" Yeah, thanks, and thanks car too. I am going to go take another bitter pill now excuse me.
