PS: If I keep the coolant topped off, can this gasket last me to the weekend without too much damage? Need to get my DD sorted out...

Probably but stop wasting money on coolant and use water.

Also, not sure why there's all this talk about the electric fan. With a proper cooling system these cars should NEVER need the AUX fan to come on. (Unless the A/C is running of course). Not sure if I misread what you guys were saying...

Water, got it! :up:

Well I was trying to get air to my radiator when the car was heating up and asked if the AC would activate the aux fan

Oh fosho; I've read up on the swaps and looks like I could use an i intake.

...It is important to know how much distance and time it takes your car to stop in various road conditions. A good rule of thumb is that when you double your speed, you quadruple your braking distance. Your brakes should be in good condition. Properly functioning brakes, a dry road, new tires, slow speeds, and lighter loads all reduce your braking distance. Antilock brakes (ABS) decrease braking distances by preventing wheel lockup by automatically and quickly "pumping" the brakes. They are very easy to use—just stomp on the pedal and keep a steady pressure, despite the accompanying vibration and noise of the ABS doing their work. Some cars have automatic brake assist, which essentially stomps on the brakes for you, thus eliminating reaction time and reducing total stopping time. Be prepared for traffic conditions where you will be traveling. For example, try to avoid traveling during rush hour, which in California can be from 7-10 am and from 3-7 pm. Rush hour driving is stressful, because of the accumulated stress of all those drivers trying to get home or get to work quickly. Traffic jams are a serious problem in California and they are only getting worse. Being stuck in traffic incurs an average annual per driver cost of $771. While engineers and transport experts spend millions of dollars on studies to find ways of easing the problem, it’s a great time to check out public transportation. When driving on the open road, pass with care. On a two-lane road, it is important to only pass one car at a time. Stay alert for curves or intersections ahead. Enjoy scenic

mountain roads, but never pass on a hill--your vehicle may run off the asphalt and there may be drop-offs. Keep a tight grip on the brakes when driving downhill. SB 28/Simitian: As of January 1, 2009 drivers are prohibited from text messaging or e-mailing while operating their vehicle. The base fine for the first violation is $20; subsequent violations are $50. However, after adding local court costs and program fees, the total cost is significantly higher and depends on the county issuing the citation. Additionally, a person under the age of 18 may not use a cell phone at all while driving, even if they have a hands-free device, or while using a mobile service device. DRIVING DISTRACTIONS As a good driver, you must minimize distractions inside your car, since they have little control over those outside—road ragers, scenery and skateboarders, to name just a few. Always return your attention to driving after a quick glance. If you have kids, pack a backpack full of toys, coloring books, travel games and whatever else they need to keep quiet and behave. Tell them your expectations for car behavior, and impress on them the dangers of distracting you. C. ACCIDENT CAUSATION...

Protection Without a Shoulder Strap – Though it’s illegal to wear a shoulder strap improperly, if you are not wearing it, throw yourself onto the passenger seat in a crash to avoid impact with the steering wheel.

The funniest picture is going through my head right now :rofl:
