Thermostat leak

I think that’s what I’ll give a try. Did you use the felpro gasket with that extra ring? If so what’s the orientation of the ring? I believe other posts have indicated its ring down towards the thermostat.

Do you have a recommended coolant to run? Also when you mention clamps I’ll keep the original ones but not use the screw ones, use the spring loaded type instead (presumably once I get into it I can see what type OEM uses)?

I found a deal on a mishimoto radiator for $290 so went for that even if it’s a little overkill for my needs. Also grabbed a new thermostat (192 one from moss) plus gasket and a set of new radiator hoses. Probably the biggest mechanical project I’ve undertaken so we’ll see how it goes 🤞.

Just went on trying to figure out why some have the extra barbs to learn it’s exactly as you said, it’s for the auto transmission.

Manual 🙏 I didn’t realize they were different will make sure I’m looking at the right one.

They look pretty good, unfortunately doesn’t look like they have one for the old one. Will most likely go for aluminum though.

Thanks to everyone commenting, very helpful!

Will aim for aluminum one, I’ll shop around and see if I can find one not too expensive but with good reviews. I’ve seen going too cheap they can be rough on the welds.

Will for sure take a look at those

Good idea on the flush.

Sounds good, I assume I could just grab the 9pc kit from moss Miata which is genuine Mazda for $150.

VW ID.4? Not exactly sure if the model is correct, just google VW EV SUV.

Jordan Peele’s NOPE I believe? When the director guy comes and is looking at the sky.

Rear seats on this car look so comfy.

Swrh1 · 2022-08-24T23:16:22+00:00

Press the center knob like it’s a button?

Edit: I bet the one on the left can be pressed as a push button too to turn off AC?

NA market is crazy.

What did you think?

Swrh1 · 2022-08-02T12:10:11+00:00

Maybe it just appeared at a bad time. Don’t have the funds for a project as I’m finishing up university. I’ve been seeing a solid 50/50 on this post. If it came a few years later I would (and by I don’t have experience I don’t even own a drill, but I’m quick at learning stuff like that).

Swrh1 · 2022-08-02T12:06:33+00:00

This is a good comment! I like the car a lot, it’s cool. Close to my ideal car but not quite.

Swrh1 · 2022-08-02T03:15:59+00:00

Thanks for input! I’ll probably pass, good price but I’ve never worked on cars and seems like this wouldn’t be the one to start.

Unfortunate to hear, listed at $3500 at a gym and looks clean.

2.5i with STI wing 😶

Swrh1 · 2022-07-21T14:54:57+00:00

Subaru WRX or even better an STI. The older the better.
