Fill and flush, many times. Distilled water if you can swing it.

They make products for cleaning out coolant systems but I have no idea on their effectiveness. Seeing as how you are already replacing the radiator, it probably can't hurt TOO much to try one of them.

But I'd still fill and flush several times anyway just to get the chemicals out at that point.

During the summer it rains most days for a little bit. It happens when the sunshine bakes the humidity into thunderstorms. They are violent but they don't last long, kinda like sex with pusha.

Violent, don't last long, and results in mildew/fungus/infection/contamination

sounds about right

ok what is the best option for a rusted out exhaust system? a turbo kit isn't in my budget right now since I spent all the money buying Braineack lunch in August

I literally need to piece together a stock-ish exhaust system for as close to $0 as I can get

Anyone have a 1.8 header sitting around?

I got the DS headlight installed and wired up. The motor won't work on that side though, it buzzes if the light is in any position other than fully down.

Soft top is being a bitch. I might just put my hard top on the car.
