Blew Radiator Hose
I blew a hose today and I can't find the the 2 upper hoses for my '92 locally. Is there any reason that I can't just buy the 1 piece 95-96 hose and cut it in half so I can use the stock T fitting?

Sounds like you got lucky. A pinhole leak formed on my 93 while at nelson ledges in 2004.
It blew slippery antifreeze all over my lf tire and caused me to spin out at nelson ledges.
Luckily car stayed on the track.
Needless to say, I replaced my lower hose also after this happened.
Crazy what a mechanical failure can do to you

Too late for the throttle body bypass. I bought a '95 hose today and cut it in half. It worked great. I don't know why I couldn't find any auto parts stores that have the 2 piece upper hose for the pre-95. The good news is the Opti survived the coolant bath.
