Update: ZX9 Radiator

Well, got the leaky stone chip plus another suspect one welded up. Total
cost for welding was $50 from AAA Kings Radiators in Olympic Circuit,
Southport.
The radiator is back on the bike and ready to be filled with coolant
thanks to IK's dis/assembly instructions. Last thing i guess is, what are
the recomendations for coolant (i.e. Brand and type) for a 98 ZX9.

 

I use the green concentrate from Ford on all the alloy stuff. for that
model Im unsure but Id suggest if its labeled for alloy .

 

ETHYL GLYCOL D00DS

 

Is that like 'ethyl alcohol'? In that case just fill it with metho! That
way when it boils and spews explosive vapour everywhere, you can Darwinate
in truely spectacular form!

<DISCLAIMER>
Don't fill your radiator with metho - you'll have every soak in town
fightinh to empty your cooling system!

Just use a good quality one like the Nulon Antiboil/freeze and mix it in a
50/50 concentration for the best results.

Anti-boil Concentrate. Good stuff.

I suspect your not reading the sign as you enter the establishment ,
look again it says holden

 

sure u arent related to these knobs ?

just paid em a vist this afternoon and they have been doing me a favour by
squeezing my van in to be repaired

thats a warranty repair of a van that was not drivable

they also had to fix the door locks, rang me to say it was ready
i asked did you do everything , yes did you fix the side door , ah not sure

dont hear back for 2 days and i call. ah its in the panel shop being repair
as
we damaged the door getting the lock out

go back a few days later when its ready, locks are still fucked , door
repair is shithouse

go back today 15 days affter it being delievered there and the door has been
repaired pretty good now
locks are going to be looked at tomorrow

oh mate we have been so busy , we were lucky to squeeze u in ,
yeh would be better if you fixed it right the first time you dumb fuckers

on a good not i have had a rental van paid for by ford . done over 2500
kays in it
beaten the crap out of it and will get the pleasure of giving it back dirty


now the rental van is an ECONovan that sucks down 1 litre every 6 kays , and
it goes like shit
FFS with that sort of fuel consumption i expect at least 300 HP

aircon is shite in the hot weather , the seats are the most uncomfortable
things ever

 

ive been to several ford dealers, Mitsubishi dealers , Toyota dealers
in all these years I dont think I have had the pleasure of a Holden dealer

but by past experiences I wouldn't doubt they would be just as useless as
all the rest

 

Would that be the silicate free version?

They do "own" Volvo you know......

Wanna buy a Tarago with dual Zone aircon?

Hammo

 

does it come with a free fuel card ???

this one is free, see you get what you pay for

 

that reminds me

the difference between driving a volvo and putting ya hand up
a scotsman's kilt

you feel a bigger dick driving a Volvo

 

Yah, Scotsmen all have long, thin dicks, 'cos they're
all tight-fisted wankers.

Oh wow! It's the holden/ford wars! Because they're SOOOOO different!

How lame do you have to be to try to start a holden/ford troll in
aus.moto!!!!!

its getting to easy , cast and catch , I don't get much vicarious
pleasure these days at all.
