hey everyone had a lot of fun with my honda this week and figured id share. went to do a lil weekend project consisting of upper control arms/ball joints, lower ball joints, inner tie rods, and outer tie rods. the real fun was using mega bfh technology for all of the pressed crap. and cutting the control arms in half to get the bushings out cause NAPA LIES! but before this even happens starter decides to just die just for the hell of it the same day. so after finishing up grabbed a starter and wrestled for a while trying to get the wrong starter in the car (way to big) even after getting confirmation that it was meant for the application. get the right one, pop it in, drive it around, later in the night car overheats. loose coolant hose by the starter area. walk for half an hour to get some cheap stuff from 711 to do a roadside service. FINALLY got it home and happy; damn car.

lucky your coolant leak didn't cause you another new starter! :)
