With the LIMG, I would do the headgaskets at the same time (since you're going that far into the engine), oh and also don't forget to buy new head bolts.

i know my car makes the same noise when i shut it off. done it says day one. even after doing head gaskets and intake gaskets. havnt lost a drop of coolant. as far as your pressure is concerned if your coolants cool it wont have as much pressure built up like a hot engine would. also. check your coolant cap. if thats bad you wont build up any pressure anyways.

Its my resvoir tank itself. The sensor itself isn't corroted, but where it plugs into is. So for right now I have the coolant level sensor unplugged & the light is remaining off. Time for a new resevoir tank, nbd

It's not necessary to remove the cap to check the level. Put enough light behind the reservior and you should be able to see the fluid level.
That and your driving habits exhibit a lack of maturity. |

That's really not a bad thing to change out since htye tend to crack and go bad anyway. Just get one at the dealer (or by the ACDelco part from Rock Auto) NOT Dorman unless you like replacing it every year. |

It has nothing to do with lack of maturity. You dont know anything about me so dont say I lack it, I know how to drive and sometimes I like to have fun. Thats my driving habit. Its not like i floor it everywhere i go.
You sound like the type of person that would be doing 20 in a 55 on the highway.

Yeah I've tried to look through it to check the coolant level but i cant see it because the inside of the resevoir isnt clear

But if i get the camaro, I wont register and insure it until its ready for the streets. I wanna do alot of work to it, all motor though

I wanted a subi really bad, a wrx (non sti, I know people who put the same amount of money into a regular wrx as someone with an sti and the wrx is faster).. but ever since I started going to an automotive school with a bunch of kids making everything look rice and sh*ty, Ive been leaning more towards the domestic side.
Either a camaro or a 240sx and rb26 swap it. Thats my two plans for a next car I just gotta plan it out.

i would go with the 240sx with the RB26. I like the WRX a lot but the 2005 legacy gt has the same engine as the wrx the 2.5 265hp boxer engine. ya i hate when people rice out their cars. i like a nice clean sleek car. No bodykit no huge fart can and no stickers. I am looking for a black legacy or wrx i want everything to be black even the intercooler is going to be black. also there is not many high HP legacy GT's out there. I like the sleeper look. just rims, brake upgrade and some coilovers, blackedout taillights and tint.

A month or two ago I saw a flat black legacy with a stock exhaust tip but it sounded beautiful I don't know what he did pipe wise. Sitting on black bbs rims, not a glossy black though, it matched the car it looked awsome.
