2nd time on the side of the road

[Jake Weber]

switched my plates back onto my turboed talon and take it out for a spin, fixed the clutch and shifting problems so i was happy about that but then as i was driving with a buddy i smelt antifreeze, pull over and look at temp guage and its rising shut off the car and it starts smoking haha, open the hood and the rad hose flew off and sprayed antifreeze all over the engine bay. total mess, what else can go wrong for me after like 10 days of driving?!

A complete inspection of all hoses/clamps ....Wiggle every wire connector....
I had an 90 Excel,  93 Mazda  all have some issue if I don't inspect ahead of time...

Its not a new car,,, but its up to you to make it run like new....

yep, and even a brand new big dollar car will break down.

The top rad pipe is a common fault on Japanese plastic tanked rads.  Even (oh my) Toyota and Honda have this issue.  Yes its true.
