Found a fast-leaking puncture in my right rear tyre about an hour ago that wasn't there earlier. Must have just gotten it. :/

do they make the ZX2-specific radiators with metal end tanks of some sort?

1055 would be base model territory, but we have sunroofs and power options, so 1130kg sounds about right.-Jack

But bought the rebuild kit for $6 shipped, so I'll give this a try. If it doesn't work, I'll just go to autozone an buy one.

mmm, SV.
pulled the front bumper and installed the new black housing headlamps and HIDs. wired them up temporarily to make sure they worked as advertised and then decided I would rather drink adult beverages. gotta replace the turn signal bulbs (new lights didn't come with any and the clear 194s aren't gonna fly) and then figure out how to aim the stupid things a little better.sigpic
