Re: kens GC 4g63 sedan - *lots of pics

You'll need to spin them to sand/polish them. The sanding lines need to be spun like the wheel or those types of wheels look terribl...

Re: coolant ratio
As i understand coolant (ethylene glycol) doesn't have the same heat soak properties as water......
if high % coolant was desirable... wouldn't all car manufactures run straight coolant?????
i think of it more as "inhibitor"... water is the coolant!

6 of one, 1/2 a dozen of the other. I think you are on the right track, IMHO removing them achieves very little to nothing. It may remove some weight and it may be one less part to go wrong but seriously, unless you are pulling for absolute max hp it will make difference nadda. Don't believe the hy...
