theres a small rubber cap on a tube behind the a/c compressor which you take off (with a butterfly clip). (part of the tubes that do the heaterbox etc)

this helps when bleeding the system.

Yeh my mates have said headgasket too, atm the car is sitting in the garage doin nuffin......not really fussed either.

just wanna know other members opinions about sorting it out.
option 1:
Should i just get it fixed and drive it. (prices and where???)

Option 2:
See the guys in Wangara, and buy a half-cut of a 99-00, take the motor out of that and use the bumper, and the brakes. Then drive it.

Option 3:
Buy the half - cut, take the motor out and put on engine stand, and buy new turbo, new ali radiator, new silicon hoses, front mount, computer etc..... then put in, tune and drive away......

LOL i'd get it diagnosed 1st dude.. before discussing options.

well iam gonna get it diagnosed, but its the perfect time to sort out wot im gonna do with it..... while its in this state.
Even if it is all good, im still gonna keep it off the road..

So really The build starts...... I wanna know on how to go about it...wot turbo, wot ecu, wot internals. My budget would be in the range of 10 -15k, but thats including paint, stezza,rims. so any opinions, ideas, for the engine and body work would be great.

Thanks

fix it and spend that 10-15k on upgrading to a GD STI
