Here are some more information for Performance Radiator Cap:
There is hardly any point getting too sentimental about your car. When you just can't bring your car back to its previous performance, even after several repair jobs, it is a good idea to sell it off. There is a big enough market for used cars and you may just be able to strike a profitable deal. However, there are cars that would not even sell even after repeated attempts on your part. A lot of people give up on their cars after they cannot sell it and leave it in their front lawns with wild trees growing around it. There are several things that you can do with your car, but if you want to reap some profits from your scrap car for one last time it may be a good idea to scrap it.
There are government-ordained rules around the scrapping of cars according to which you have to ensure that you scrap your car in an environmentally friendly manner. After you do so, you are usually handed a Certificate of Destruction. Unless you get a hold of that certificate you're still liable for the possession of your car. In some areas, there are state-run yards that are equipped to handle the destruction and recycling of scrap car. In other areas, there are state authorized yards that do the job. Before, you send your car over to a scrap yard you must find out whether they have a valid license to operate and handle scrap car.
Before you get down to finding a scrap yard, there are things you must do to ensure that you squeeze out the last bit of profit you can make out of your scrap car. After all, why let some one else profit out of your car, if there is any money in the car it is only fair that you should make it. Scrap car yards have no requirement for anything that is not metal, they want only metal and anything else will only bring down the money you make out of it. So before you send your car over to the yard you should dismantle it and remove everything that is not metal. And, while you're at it you should also remove those parts that you think you could sell through ebay.
The first thing when you get down to it and even before you touch any other part of the car you should remove all kinds of fluid from the car. This includes wiper fluids from the windshield, brake fluid, transmission fluid, oil, and radiator fluid. After you're done with that you can remove the battery, the radiator cover and the radiator itself. Next you should remove the brake fluid container, the carburetor, the starter, the distributor cap, the air filter, and the spark plugs. You should also ensure that you have removed all wires. Next you should remove the engine, the exhaust system, the transmission, the seats, door panels, carpeting, dashboard, and steering wheel.
You should leave the tires because they will be helpful in towing it away. Once the car is in the junkyard and they have lifted it, you can take the tires off and bring them home. You can make a neat hundred bucks out of the deal plus more if you can sell the engine parts.

Reasons Your Car Might Be Overheating
The summer is a wonderful time. The heat is simply great…unless it does a number on your car. If your car is overheating, getting the issue figured out is critical. Why? Heat destroys engines and that will eventually destroy your bank account.
The internal combustion engine is a marvelous bit of engineering. Really think about what that name is describing. “Combustion” is the key word and is entirely accurate. The engine produces power to the wheels of your vehicle through small explosions. In most cases, this occurs when gasoline and air are introduced to a spark. This sets off a small explosion that pushes a piston down and that turns a shaft. These explosions happen many times a second and each produces a lot of heat. The level of heat is sufficient to melt parts of the engine if the heat is not removed. This is why any overheating problem needs to be identified and dealt with quickly.
The first step is to check the easiest thing. Wait for your car to cool down and then pop the radiator cap. Do you have sufficient coolant in the system? It sounds simple, but it is often the problem particularly on older cars. If you are low on coolant, do not simply add water. Take the car and get a full coolant change. Cooling systems require a combined water and engineered coolant mixture to function properly. Now is as good a time as any to get yours up to snuff.
The second issue to check is the water pump. A water pump that is going bad will usually let you know by sounding like a punk band playing in a blender. It isn’t pretty. If the pump seems alright, check the belt powering it for any wear issues. A belt that looks fine, can still slip so look for a soft, flat shiny surface. If none of these issues appear to be present, it is time to move to the next issue.
The thermostat is a misunderstood part of the coolant system. It is not there to cool the car. It performs the opposite function. Why would you want to heat up your engine? Well, the engine needs to be running between a certain temperature range. When you first start your car, the engine is too cold. To heat it up, the thermostat cuts down the flow of coolant through the engine. When the engine heats up, the thermostat stops restricting the flow from the radiator. Thermostats go bad occasionally, which can result in the flow of coolant being restricted. In a warmed up engine, this can easily lead to overheating. The only solution is to replace the thermostat.
The final step is to check the pressure cap on the radiator. If it malfunctions, it will let pressurized coolant escape while the car is running. This will mess up the balance of the coolant system and will definitely lead to overheating. You can just run the engine with the hood open and look for any coolant escaping. It will usually make a sound as well as the pressurized material tries to squeeze through the gap in the gasket. Fortunately, a new pressure cap costs under $20 on most cars.
If none of these issues do the trick, you need to go see a mechanic. The coolant system runs through the engine, so there could be a host of problems. Diagnosing the exact problem will require some expensive testing mechanisms, thus the need for the mechanic.

Do high pressure performance radiator caps really make a positive difference in a car? Or are they bad for car?
I see like these aftermarket radiator caps made by Spoon and Skunk2 that boast on about creating high pressure and it being good for motors. Do they really keep your car's motor cooler? ?
Could they actually cause problems like creating too much pressure and blowing off a hose or the cap itself? im thinkin about getting 1 for my 98 GSR integra but if its gonna cause cause my car to blow a hose off then i wont bother. thanks
Of course not.
All raising the water system's pressure would do is raise the boiling point by 3-5 degrees. In other words, allow it to run hotter.
Not worth it in my opinion.
