madcat6183 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 wait you have $200 for track days but not a radiator? just skip one day. this isn't the end of sept or something jesus debbie downer.Tires, travel, fuel, etc. Not trying to be debbie downer, but priorities are also big with wedding and honeymoon etc. I don't just do track days fyi, racing is also included in every weekend I go to anymore, so thats 2 days, not 1 etc. Granted this weekend I am skipping Sat. to just race Sunday, so who knows.Im just stoked he got his GSXR fixed up already, hopefully mine goes the same.

APCh8r Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Call a radiator shop, I would be highly surprised if they can't fix it and if it is not cheaper than buying a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Call a radiator shop, I would be highly surprised if they can't fix it and if it is not cheaper than buying a new one.They would have to put a new neck on it and I'm almost 100% sure it's plugged somewhere.

madcat6183 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yeah ordered a new one 225 shipped and going to take the old one to a shop to try to recoup some of the $$ by fixing it. Who knows, going to make a few calls and pick up some bar shifts I think, 120 a night cash is always nice for bussing glasses and plates lol.Kevin, thanks for PMing me back so fast man, the radiator should be here mid week and Im pulling the old one tonight from the bike.

blue03636 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yea, a new neck would be a must and if they can flush the shit out might help. The water is boiling at way too low of a temp and pumpout of the overflow once we fixed the cap sealing problem. The cap may be shot but I doubt it as we tested it with Cox's and they appeared the same. The tstat is opening and water is flowing but it just doesn't appear to be getting enough pressure so the cap may not be sealing on the inside of the radiator either.

r1crusher Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I think Steve (RVT) has an extra cap if one is needed. We know it works as we switched them on his old tracker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Actually, I though RVT said that the caps are the same on some small displacement cars as well so you could possibly get a new from the auto parts store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
