    Tips on keeping it cool?

    I'm broke. Electric fans and new radiators are not an option. I am changing the oil and coolant, and toping off anything else that needs it. What mixture should I run coolant wise? Does Watter Wetter work? I'm in NYC and it's around 50 now, getting warmer.. It's a daily driver. Thanks. :D

    Whenever I turn the wheel completely to the right or the left, the wheel does not return, the car will just keep going in a circle. But if I turn around a corner, without turning the wheel completely, it will return fine. What could be causing this problem? Thanks. :cool:
