so first all week sucked ha, left my phone is Arizona.. Came back and had them ship it to me.. phone arrived with a broken screen and battery missing... USPS said that's how they got it w/e. Got a new phone from my brother.. Drove the Ti wednesday and noticed it was getting warm about 210degrees on the Water temp gauge..keep in mind weather in cali has been cold and foggy.. My dad (mentor who owns a shop) bought me a new thermostat for my bday  . Go to take the old one out and 3 of the 4 bolt heads broke off in the block.. Great week and its only mid day hahah. __________________ V2 in progress.

did the bolt heads at least break off in a way that you could get them out? using drill bit extractors is a pain | | | | | 11-20-2011, 12:40 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2009 Location: Orange County, CA Posts: 2,019 |
