I have a "one small step yet one giant leap" update for all who gives a dern. My mechanic found a coolent leak from near the intake. He replaced the intake manifold gasket three times and even took it to a friend of his who works for Honda of Charleston! and they couldnt find it. I told him that enough is enough im coming to get it! It was driveable just took about 30 minutes to lose all the coolent. So i stopped every twenty to top it off and get going again. Took about 8 hours to make a two hour drive but no big deal, shes in the driveway again!!! Lesson learned, do you own work no matter how busy you are. All me and my brother did was take an extendable/flexable mirror for a couple minutes while i poured more coolent in and found a crack!!!! two shade tree drive way mechanics..OPENED THEIR EYES lol. So thats all i need, i took it off and pushed on where the crack was and a chunk of the intake cracked off. BOOYAH. Just need to find a new z6 manifold and call it a day! Which unfortunately are near impossible to find here in Columbia SC. I found a Y8 and was going to swap it over, paid $130 just to find out that it was off an automatic car and is therefor uselss on my civic.....sucks being held down simply from being unable to find a part.
