Could you explain this "powersliding"? Do you mean drifting??
If you've only got a small leak you could get it soldered.
Take it to Maz-Max. They do some good work I emailed them and they've done some Auto-Manual swaps and SOHC- DOhC swaps

power sliding is when i pull the ebrake and spin my car around a turn or when i switch lanes or just doing the 2fast 2 furiuos trick but yeah ive worked with maz max a couple times and probably taken it there sooner or later

And I know that can't be good for your tires, you're probally leaving flatspots all over them.

If you yank on the e-brake and do a 180 it's a flaming K-turn.

how much you got to spend on a radiator? god knows you have one of those POS plastic *****. I have one that Is almost brand new in my old pro that's sitting in the driveway, my dad payed 160 for it, but I'd sell it to ya 75 + shipping.
