    I f-ing hate my car

    Tomorrow is first autox event for 2008 and this is what I get

    A busted radiator spraying coolant towards the front of the car, I was hoping maybe it was just the radiator cap but no....

    So, I gotta get up at 9am tomorrow and drive 1 hour to Stockton to autocross with this shit.... argh.

    Damnit.

        I once limped around in a e21 by using superglue on a cracked plastic tank.

          I am surprised they would even let you run with a car leaking coolant, seeing as how it will make the course slicker. ?!?

            It leaks a little bit under pressure. I am going to bend the tabs and see how that works.

              Use JB Kwik.

              My radiator was destroyed, leaking from several spots and not only did hold it all together, it also kept the motor cool during two days of drifting afterwards.

                      ouch! I have a small coolant leak as well, from the t-stat housing. been waiting for some stuff from germany so I can tear it apart and do a bunch of stuff at the same time. my leak's not bad enough to make a slick spot on course, but having spun out on somebody else's coolant spill I know what it can do :o

                          Throw a couple of raw eggs in the rad. That will do the trick. Worked on mythbusters!

                            Raw eggs in the radiator.. you guys are crazy.

                            Sucks man, good luck getting it together. My M3's radiator time bombed after 145k.. I was stuck fixing it on the side of the road. PITA, no doubt.

                              JB saved my truck's radiator after an off-road trip - trust it.
