there will be a hose from the engine to the heater core (hot side), and 1 from the heater core to the engine (cold side) you need to loop from where the hot side leaves the enhine to where the cold side returns to the engine. in saying that, its an "M" series so is prob overheating cuz the head gasket is fucked

have heard from multiple very experienced panel beaters that covers accelerate rust something wicked due to trapping moisture and once it drys up/ warms up containing said moisture thus providing prime rust groth environment gotta stop treating the car like an ornament, its a car. designed to go from A to B, bit of water wont hurt it -
idont think anything but a NZ 26 will do it. one of the factory na ones from malaysia or something. they had one at osaka auto imports in chch not too long ago for like 4 k.

^^ exactly whats wrong with how it is now, seeing as you have been harping on about how much you love it i hardly think you are going to race it at a track seeing as the risk of crashing at a track is approximately 39686738305876849X greater than it getting stolen. However BC>TRD all day. With TRD the height is fixed and you done get camber plates. BC are prob way cheaper and in the country + warranty etc.. -

as said above cambelt is a piece of piss on a RWD 4age. Will need a crank pulley puller, getting the pulley off is the hardest part. May as well do water pump while all the covers are off, only thing to worry about doing them is the O ring that sits between the block and water pump backing plate housing bit, other than that easy as pie. -

the "community" for AEs is so small that even if stuff does get pinched it will usually turn up. just because its your dream car, doesnt mean its anyone elses... i would invest in a kill switch and one of those GPS trackers over an alarm -
