Very much impulse buying cause friend waiting for me for dinner + 15 minutes ticket . Oh well.. I calculated that I need just about 1.65L for the radiator to get 33% dilution, which means I'm left with .35L....

Not using that anymore . Now forced to use Castrol RadiCool . But is 0.35L coolant only w/o dilution enough for the overflow tank?

You bought fake Toyota Coolant ke?

I'm gonna do my radiator flush at home DIY on Thursday once I get the radiator flush from Brothers or Giant or Eneos or something .

Ok, based on my calculations for the coolant, as the radiator holds up to 5L of liquid, 33% of dilution = 1.65L of Coolant + 3.35L of distilled water.

For overflow tank 33% of 0.65L capacity= 0.21L .More than enough coolant <3. But RM55.8 gone for 2L of Castrol RadiCool ( Just RadiCool, not long life not premixed ). Any recommended radiator flush, or what also can?

Use back Proton originals / Mitsubishi originals. Peace of mind .

Dunno. On the bottle it tells me the best dilution ratio for it is 33% water ~ 50% water. I guess that depends on your coolant .

. Got the radiator coolant and radiator flush already. Tomorrow gonna get distilled water from 7-11 or something.

Manlet - Which radioshack did you visit ah? I'm thinking of buying a dash cam liao.

So far so good? Memory card separate?

Where else got Radioshack? I don't know where is Gardens . You chose Papago?

Yuh but I tarak cold hard cash to buy it, only virtual cash from gahmen .

Nope. No use for HDD. I own my 750GB HDD for about more than two years now, and I have never managed to go pass 60% of its capacity, mainly due to the fact that I clear the system entirely once in a while once I feel that it's bloated . My 500GB O/S drive has only 60GB of space partitioned with the rest left raw to increase boot up speed . Seems to work, but a SSD is probably a better idea .

I don't download punya. I can delete whatever I want with no worries .

Starting the radiator cleaning now. But have to wait for car to cool down from 90 degrees .

Weird. Radiator says its capacity is 5L but somehow pouring in less than 3L of water after "draining completely" via the petcock causes the radiator to overflow .

Wow . How much for the soundproofing materials?

Ok. Job done for the radiator flushing and topping up. The part where they say to leave the radiator cap off to let the air bubbles come out is really . Bubbles came out for awhile then the entire coolant mixture started coming out as well LOL. Kinda lost the dilution cause of that but I'd put it at about 33~37% of coolant and 67-63% of RO water.

Total cost:
Castrol RadiCool - RM27.9 x2 = RM55.8
10 bottles of SeaMaster RO Water = RM16.2 ( free one bottle ), but only two bottles are actually required to fill the radiator, the rest can be used for flushing the system. System has to be flushed with water for at least 2 times to clear out the old coolant.

On a side note:
Re-oiled the blower motor + cleaned the blower fins. Now the air-cond system does not smell dusty anymore, + the blower seems to be more quiet as well . Used drive-shaft grease for the motor lubrication.

Wtf?

3 years still can ask for RM13xxxx? Gila punya.

I think my next DIY will probably be bleeding the brake systems . But I will probably do that only if I'm getting the metal brake lines . Bulk?

Quite easy to be honest, but you need a bucket, patience, and of course moolah for good coolant and if possible distilled / RO water / deionised water ( battery water ).

How you solve rear dash noise? Mine keep going rrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrr I dunno how the fark to take it out and put some stuff between it and the metal thing to damp the vibration.
