[s-cars] Another Timing Belt Story

Well, i'm not done yet, but the hard part is over. I never got to the crank
seal, as it seemed like it was okay. Snug as a bug in a rug and no leakage.

I think the worst part of doing the timing belt...is just getting to the
frickin nuts and bolts. The Crank Bolt? Not a problem. Disassembling the
Hydraulic Pump mount, as well as moving the alternator to the side?
Yeah...that just about took me the longest to get to. Putting the car back
together took a long time too:)

All I need to do now, is flush the old coolant (when the writeup on UrS4.com
says some leakage...they mean a LOT of leakage) and replace the bumper.

I know that this is going to be vague, but I bumped into the headlight, and
one of these ramp like looking plastic piece fell off. I went to go to the
other side to check what had just come off, and the same piece fell off for
that side too!. I wish I had a digital camera, and I might just nab one for
tomorrow.

Finally, what coolant do I need? Prestone won't do, or so i've heard.

Thanks,
Paul
