Evan, pictured here driving his "marshal taxi" (who I'm sure is on here under some username) and Mark had to drive it back from Ontario before Evan goes to Germany for his automotive engineering internship.

(Photographs well, but is cheap/rusty enough it might be an H6 donor for aforementioned wagon)

Again?!?! Mine started spitting a little bit at the upper hose clamp. The wafts of smoke one day alerted me lol.

I also have the same hose clamps.

I was just saying you were a poet. But now I'm mastering rhymes.

Someone didn't add the Subaru Coolant Conditioner.

GrantC · « **Reply #682 on:** January 26, 2018, 07:33:22 am »

Haha, guess again. The Subaru City parts counter practically knows me by name & knows what I'm there for.

The coolant crossover hoses weren't completely on their nipples?

Looking at the picture I see green along the crimps...

?!!?!

Jesus. It looks like someone jizzed all over your engine bay. Did you hit a randy moose?

Holy uckfay.

Guess I win the sweet sweet prize of coolant smell.

RockThePylon · « **Reply #688 on:** January 26, 2018, 12:20:42 pm »

I think it's the bypass line.

Try cracking an egg in the rad. Or, since you work out, 6 eggs.

GrantC · « **Reply #690 on:** February 02, 2018, 07:05:34 pm »

Rad!

(and bonus O2 for the TS)

GrantC · « **Reply #691 on:** February 02, 2018, 08:01:04 pm »

Darn it, I just noticed this!

Better buy it for a spare.

GrantC · « **Reply #693 on:** February 02, 2018, 08:08:44 pm »

Naw, Yvan can store it for me (us) until then.

diamondedge · « **Reply #694 on:** February 02, 2018, 08:45:13 pm »

In for a GrantC timelapse of a radiator swap.

Denso? Decadent.

I figured either giant CSF race rad, and all the tradeoffs inherent in that... or "OEM". And this was $115 from Rockauto.

GrantC · « **Reply #696 on:** February 03, 2018, 07:10:42 pm »

Spent the day driving around in the "1 foot of fresh pow, gnar!" to pick up oil, coolant, and coolant conditioner and then doing 2 oil changes and replacing a rad.

Rad, eh?

seat safety switch · « **Reply #697 on:** February 03, 2018, 07:26:24 pm »

This is why I was happy to sell the TS to you.

Haha, just noticed this. Sorry... if I would have known you needed a Rad I would have totally messaged you.

Yep, I've always kept it as a spare in case mine cracked. The thing just doesn't seem to want to die... so my spare one just sits there, comfortably in my heated garage.
