Samco Radiator Hoses...Finally Installed

[CCColtsicehockey]

So after having these for almost a year now I finally got around to installing them the other weekend. They were and absolute pain in the ass to install. Thanks to memphis for helping me or I would still probably be installing them right now.

Your engine bay is.... HOT! Looks good man...

[daicacharco]

how much did you buy the hoses for ? and where ?

[CCColtsicehockey]

like 250 shipped or something like that from AJ-Racing.

[gerardo]

yours is one of my favorites Colt

sex!

hey colt what battery are you running. I know it's probably stupid to replace a 2006 tsx battery already, but i'm not the only one who is dissatified with its performance, and i'm not so sure about adding a sub and stuff to this stock battery without having reliability issues. Heard optima red tops won't fit.

BTW Sweet engine bay, i wish i had the money to throw into hoses like that, def. a nice piece.

[CCColtsicehockey]

its an optima yellow top honda model which they have stopped making.

Dremel= Best tool ever lol... Yep that was a Fun install, though a good time in general, minus the fact that I now want most of the mods you have...

Wish i had bought the cusco oil can instead of the greddy. Your oil can set up looks 10 times better than mine.

damn straight it is.

haha i know you do, and i made you lower your car when you told yourself you were not lowering it when you came to my house. but the fact my car made yours looks stock height convinced you.

[MemphisRheins]

yes you did, bastard... though it looks great right now... only bottomed out once and that was me being dumb...

[robert_tg]

[pcdawg]

is it just one hose to the rad?? looks pretty nice, but 2 expensive for mu blood,

[MemphisRheins]

2 hoses, there is another one that you cant really see

[GAntonio]

Hey Colts,


DId you replace the Coolant with something else or did u use the same OEM Acura recommended coolant? DO you have any in progress pics of the install as well?

Thanx

[MemphisRheins]

We didnt take any pictures, its pretty straight foward... and used the OEM Acura Coolant

[MemphisRheins]

Bottom hose was a PITA actually, but its just because of location, not actual difficulty.... Its significantly easier with the Manual, because you can just remove the radiator

[GAntonio]

Thanks Memphis,

I just recieved my hoses from aj racing today and I plan on installing them this weekend. If there is any other suggestions as far as the install goes please chime in. THANX.

[MemphisRheins]

It was pretty straight foward, was just difficult to get the clamps off the bottom hose, we ended up dremeling one clamp off, and buying another one from the local auto parts store, also wear a shirt you dont really care about, since it is likely youll get some fluid on you...

[LiLaSiiAn8]

your engine bay is beautiful.

[inkedup]

I love where you mounted the Cusco oil catch can, looks real clean.

Obvioulsy it looks good but how functional is it?

[06Tsxeer]

U mind if i ask how u mounted the cusco can? Or is that too much of a secret? :grinno:

[CCColtsicehockey]

i just stuck the two bolt holes around the battery tie down post.

[Benz]

somehow, the color doesn't look right in the engine bay, too bright.
