Okay, thanks for everything guys. I'm gonna go get some coolant from autozone. Dex 50/50 right?
And this might sound like a stupid question, but this is my first car... I just pour that coolant into that same place I just posted the pictures of right? The coolant reservoir for the radiator is separate from the supercharger coolant, correct?

Correct. and yes dexcool 50/50.you can just try straight water to see if there is a leak first.Seeing I live in AZ as well,it's not cold enough to freeze water.You can have the car running while you add to help circulate it and get air pockets out as well

Could I use just regular tap water?

Distilled.You can use tap water but it tends to have calcium build up.

Oh and question,do you have a front lip or is it missing?

The lip isn't missing. There is, however, no cover/grill in front of the HE, like on this...



The front bottom on mine looks more like this

Just do tap water to see if its working then in a short while change it out for straight distilled (if your temps dont get to freezing)

LOL, mine is red and I live in the chandler/gilbert area... but I haven't gotten on it in a couple weeks due to a worn out clutch that I'm replacing monday. Might have been me? lol but I'm not missing the front lip.



Edit: Come help me with this coolant business ha.

Just fill it up with tap water first to check for leaks and see if the pump is running then switch to distilled and throw some water wetter into too

When you say switch, you mean I'd have to drain the tap water out? How do I do that? lol
I'm a complete noob.

Yeah like low said just pull a hose off. One of the two connected to the pump in the best way to drain because that's the lowest point of the system

Well, the pump isn't working. It didn't take much water to fill it up either.... how much does it usually hold?

Should say in the owners manual but I can't remember. It probably takes more than will go in right now because if the pump isn't working, it's only going down to the pump and just sitting there, not going into the rest of the system

I'm having the same issue. Not any "curtsies", just no coolant flowing through. What coolant can I use to fill it up? And can I fill it right in that neck in front of the sc?
