On my way home from work I noticed white smoke coming from under my hood. I pulled over and saw my temp gauge was pegged! Heres what I found.
My Webpage Anyone have any suggestions where I can get either a good oem replacement or aftermarket for better cooling for my 3sgte. I have a 95 celica gt swapped 3sgte. Thanks |

Yea. The rad. had 190,000 miles. It was hot and I was running the s**t out of it. The funny thing is I popped the hood just before I left work and all the fluids were fine. Oh well. Hopefully I didnt pop a head gasket when it overheated
