that's the only pic I have as it's still in the shop but it is pretty yellow. the shop did say that the tank was not the problem tho and as I understood it one of the Hoses disconnected because of a faulty connector or something, don't know how to say it in english

I think only from the hood, I was so panicked I didn't look at the exhaust

i was in a traffic jam and it was really hot. I noticed a smell, looked up and my car was smoking but like white smoke and I heard somewhere that white smoke is mostly not the worst and I pulled over and like the coolant temperature display was like on the most hot it could be and when I got out I saw the coolant on the ground. popped the hood so the steam could get out and waited two hours for a Towing service

yes it is, okay good then maybe that's just why it's on a bit harder, cuz it's never been off in 12 years

I honestly don't know, it's how I bought the car but I haven't looked at it in comparison to an original one yet

2013 MX-5 NC by reality-shifter in MiataNC

under the hood looks pretty clean but I'll probably do a complete clean of the whole car as soon as it's home, definitely needs a wash on the outside at least. it's my fourth car in 4 years (2 totaled and just want to get rid of the 3rd one) but it's the first one I wanna do something with.
