    I assume you are talking about the small hose that is on the outside. Yes there is another hose on the inside that goes to the bottom of the tank.

    Yea, the one from the top of the radiator, thanks!

      A hose was 2 big and a hose was 2 small. So i drove to school pissing coolant. I next-day shipped an ECS hose kit yesterday. Will get it around noon today and install in on Saturday. Hopefuly powder coating and painting bumper next week. I fixed the crack and slight warp on the bottom of the bumper lastnight. Starting to wonder why the original owner of the bumper used some sort of filler to fill all the scratches on the bottom. So now I need to sand the filler off and hand it over to the professionals.

        They may have used an icing instead of trying to take the whole bumper down evenly.

            That I would have been ok with. Whatever they we're trying to do they we're layering it on and it wasn't even nice. It's almost all sanded off and it looks fine.

                Gotta love that 900$ strip and paint quote I just got. I might scrap this project. Or go to macco. Haven't decided yet.

                  Have you considered painting it yourself? You can get a whole kit with spray can of adhesion promoter for the plastic, primer,  color matched paint, and catalyzed clear from paintscratch.com for around $90 (less if you don't want the other stuff in the kit). It won't be 100% perfect, but could be worth the savings compared to paying a body shop.

                    I liked the fact that I could pay someone and the job not turn out bad. I have one more contact then that is probably the way I'll go.

                                    Man. I guess when I buy kits from ECS I'll keep an eye out. I bought a shifter bushings kit too with 2 uro parts. Ah fuck now you guys have me paranoid.

                                        I mean it is pretty hard to mess up the shifter bushings so I wouldn't be too worried about those. I upgraded all of my stuff to delrin so that it took all of the slop out of the stock design.

                                          Bought an E36 m3 lip for my lux bumper today. Sanding it down and painting it black. Found it under a sign. I also finally got my shiftknob and side markers from @wasnt m3. For those of you who didn't know spider got into a really bad head-on collision going to buy a new Miata. He was in the hospital since the 12th when it happend.  I plan on trying to rewrap the knob in suede.
