My old radiator blew a few holes at the top - probably due to age. While replacing it, I forgot to cover the ends of the hoses and left it for a few weeks - due to time constraints.

Recently, I put in a new unit and topped her up with water. It was then I heard some funny sounds but thought it was just squirrels in the garden chasing each other.

While squeezeing the hoses just to check their condition I felt something inside the lower hose. After unplugging the hose, out pops a squirrel and a half eaten banana - probably stolen from my house.

Yeah, so now I'm going to hell for killing a poor innocent squirrel...

On the bright side, at least he got a last meal.

You got to thank the poor little squirrel, it saved your engine.
Do check your engine wires again. Squirrels are excellent chewers...

Yeah, I had to do a more thorough check of the wires. That wasnt very fun - my car is really showing its age, worried about a few bits of wire here and there. I'll have to find a way to re-do the whole electricals... that's gonna take some time.

No pics, sorry. I was feeling kinda guilty so buried it and forgot to take a pic.

Had done my exhaust and open pod in speedwork, not really happy with the craftsmanship, they are even terrible than wei yip.

Get to main point, I had some question here. The exhaust setting they give me was like this
it was a straight flow, and I dunno why, I`m a automatic transmission. They said i`m using open pod, so I should use straight flow.

Anyway, The exhaust system by speedwork are using stainless steel piping and extractor only, the muffler and resonator part are metal spray...
