(Shown in the manual but I think mines missing - bad?) 2. The coolant is very dirty...I know where the radiator-drain plug is (please don't clap) but not sure where the engine-drain plug is. It might be next to the oil filter but the space seems too small to collect the coolant. (The manual says to take both plugs out when replacing fluid) 3. The air-con is not working and the compressor is missing a belt. What belt do I need and what else should I do to get it working? Will this get the rear-window heating to work too? 4. Manual recommends 1.7kPa tire pressure but it looks just a slightly flat compared to other cars - is this a good pressure? I have the pen-guage and the gauge on a foot pump and they both show different readings (I feel like the pen is more trustworthy) 5. I read somewhere that these cars have rear drum brakes - how can I tell? I saw shiny disks at the front when I took off the front wheels which makes me think its has front-disk brakes instead! Are disc brakes better? What do you think of upgrading to 4 wheel disc brakes? 6. What tires do you recommend for a mixture of everyday use and performance? Wheel size? (Mines current 185/70 Firestone F-355, I think, on std 13") 7. Is unleaded good enough? 8. There is a gut wrenching(!) grinding whenever I try to downshift to 1st gear (no matter how I try to engine-match), which is why I don't, unless it is travelling really slowly. Is this normal? 9. Would the chassis of this 20 y.o car be strong enough to be a track car (that is after future upgrades) or do I have to sand the surfaces the whole car to metal to find out? 10. After answering all my questions, do you need therapy? Thanks. [Report message to a moderator]
