What's In Your Radiator?
 
This is what my radiators look like after only 18K miles....Ouch. Looks like they are coming out to be cleaned. For you track junkies out there, I think I pulled out a complete MPSC from these radiators...In half inch sections of rubber slag....

Yip, similar issue, need to add a crisp packet (potato chips) in there and some smoke end butts for good measure.

I replaced my ffront bumper with an OEM GT2 piece and had just as much debris, etc. I could not believe it.

BTW, what is with your rotors? Mine rust a little when I wash the car but not nearly that bad.

Cleaning front bumper
 
Wow couldn't believe the amount of crap in the radiators. I'm going to remove my front bumper and clean them out soon. Does anyone have the DIY steps for removing the front bumper?

Those are special order Brembo rotors. They are called the "underground street racer stealth rotor". They looked rusted at all times so when I do some street racing I can say the car hasnt been driven in a year and hustle some unsuspecting ricer as I pass myself off as a noob. Works everytime:D .... The engine is out getting a pretty serious build and the car has been sitting for months. I have new Porsche 6 piston Yellows with 350MM rotors that are going on soon anyway....

I actually had a dead bird packed in mine! Nice to see you are still tinkering with your car:0) I also discoverd a pinhole in my AC condesor. I never use my AC:) So that was another $800 repair! I love these cars:)
