hose kit

just threw a blue hose kit on because i was in the mood for a cheap mod. it's amazing how a little color spruces up the engine bay.

i'll take one tonight. i know, kind of a stupid post talking about something looking good without pics to go along with it. honestly, for $30 i don't see why you wouldn't do this. install took about 15 minutes. 5 of that was running back and forth between the car and the road///race image of the hose kit to make sure i was swapping out the right ones.

you get 3 different diameter hoses and you have to cut them yourself. they match up diameter-wise exactly with the ones you take off. if you look at the roadrace image it's the same exact thing. you really can't screw it up.

i put hoses on once and it messed up my cruise control, one of the hoses we bending causing this flow of air not to escape. anyhow i got rid of those real quick. just check to see if your cruise is still workin.

This may be a dumb question, but I don't have that much car backround. You said it took like 15 minutes to install the hoses, but when you pull the old hoses off don't you have to worry about fluids leaking out?

the only hoses that have a little bit of fluids is the one on top of the valve cover and the one connecting to the coolant reservoir. but they only have a little bit of fluid in them, and it doesnt keep coming out if u take out the hoses. so its safe.
