i've only had new cars so i've never actually had to replace hoses. So while i was yanking my sr20 out of the front clip a lot of the hoses were dry rotted or had to be cut (vacuum lines also).... heres the question

Is there a such thing as a full motor hose kit??? if not there should be and where can i find all these funky a** hoses?

Sounds like coolant return lines. I just had this problem and had to make a couple runs to Advance Auto (or similar) to find hoses off of a different car that could be modified.

If you have a clip then you have all the hoses you need between the clip and the ones in your car. You can get cheap silicone vacuum line kits then just cut to length. Pepboys or autozone for anything else.

What's up with your E46? You have airbags on it?

Autozone or Advance auto will carry almost everything you need. It your coolant lines are cut, you might have to get creative. I think a company in FL makes the lines though?
