Repair 3: Flush the coolant system

Want to make me upset? Take my stuff, move it, and then don't tell me. I spent about six hours looking for a set of tubes used for flushing the coolant in the MR2, and I couldn't find them anywhere!

I found them after emailing the family, and I guess I shouldn't be upset - I have been gone for a long time. But I lost a really beautiful day to get stuff done. It was 6o and sunny - and the bugs were non-existent.

In any case, I found the tubes and got started on draining the coolant. Get this: it takes 12.8 gallons of coolant/water! That's because the radiator is in front, and the engine is in back. That makes for a lot of pipes to fill with fluid. And instead of there being just one drain plug, there are four. One back by the engine, one on the bottom of the radiator, and two on the front to back radiator pipes. Flushing this things is going to be a pain!

It's currently draining its dirty fluid, but I need to go out and buy another gallon of coolant - I don't have enough on me. Pics will come shortly of the drain positions.
