Well another issue thats completely different... My aftermarket alarm keeps going off randomly, and it seems to be one of the proximity sensors that was triggered. This only happened after i had parked my car outside over night; and the result was there was condensation on the whole car, and the car was pretty wet.

Am i getting the old moisture entering the antenna problem that the pre-FL EP3 supposedly suffer from? But I have parked my car outside during the winter several times for it to accumulate condensation all over the car. Just dunno why this time is different...

I have a similar problem.. I thought it was my battery dropping volts..

Lol, silly me I found out what it was... Found that only the glass break sensor was being triggered. Then I found out that I had left my phone in my car last night and the phone signals has been sending high frequencies sort of like the sound when you put a phone near a speaker and receive call... and since the sensor works by picking up high pitched frequencies like sound of breaking glass, the alarm went off.

I think I should adjust the sensitivity of it lol =.=

Went to install my new mishimoto radiator yesterday. Not that impressed so far.

The mishimoto fans don't fit the radiator (aware you need the bracket.. but seriously, why not make it easy)
Decided to just leave my OEM fans on for the time being.. screw holes don't line up properly so gotta be careful you don't strip it.

Was in and ready to fill when I saw the overflow connection on the radiator was loose. Went to tighten it, not even 2 turns and it just snaps off like plastic. Wasn't cross threading or anything. Part of the connection is still inside the hole so will have to see if a mate can drill it and re thread without getting crap in the radiator

So overall not very happy considering I paid $700 odd for rad fans hoses.

hey guys

so i was driving home from work just then (i work in a hotel explains the early morning post

) and while i was driving the engine light popped up, was kinda worried i just had my belt changed for the car.

popped the bonnet and nothing seems to be out of place or anything, engine mount still going strong and fluids are near full. any ideas on what might be the issue? im leaning towards either my o2 sensors has just gave up or either the mechanic knocked something out of place during the replacement of the belt.

anyone ever had the same issue? and was the problem?

use my car as a daily for my other job~~ and i dont wanna be putting the car under stress with the engine light on
