Default A few things..

What is a good material to replace the stock vacuum lines with? Preferably something red ;-)

Also, I have been having this overheating problem. Its only when I am in slow traffic, which being in a tourist area is all the time, or stopped. I have noticed that it happened when I had to disconnect my two hoses next to the P/S pump to change the belts. Of course, when I did that, some fluid leaked out, and dumbass me turned the car on without reconnecting them, spilling lots of fluid. Could my problem be that my system has air in it? I dont know if Neons are touchy about that or not. If so, would a professional flush fix it? I also pulled over once when it started getting warm to see if the fans were kicking in, and they are not. I am not sure where the sensor is to tell the fans to turn on, but maybe its just that. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Also, I am thinkin of putting the SRT-4 rims onto my 98 r/t, what size tire do I need to put on the rims to it wont hurt my speedo setting and such, and also the clearance problem.


Thanks!

Default RE: A few things..

you might just need to start the car and let it run with the thermostat cap off and wait until the thermostat opens, then pour some water in it until it is full...and put some in the overflow tank....

the srt-4 wheels should get a 205/40 17....but i have used 215/40 17 with no problem.......these are pics with the 205/50 17...i just wanted to see what it looked like until i get new tires
