yes the advise, to know what you getting into with this job i recommend it if your are mechanically inclined, but if you know you cant do it you might have to dish out 2Gs but hopefully it does come to that for yall, and take you time..

thanks

I know it is frustrating when you work on your car but things don't work out right. But once you get it going you feel like you can do anything!!!

did the hose fail before you went in to replace it, or was this a preventative maintenance kind of job?
Previous owner claimed he had that hose replaced, not sure if i believe him though.

Mina gallery clear side markers,

XFR R badges all around,


Green is most definitely my favorite STR color,
Most green s-types I see are jaguar-racing-green (HGZ),
Aspen green metallic (HGP) is color shifting and goes from blue to something resembling jaguar racing green,
