I also see this one on Amazon for $52 with free shipping: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004A6GUAO/?tag=m20b7-20

Thanks for the input. I'll probably go with a local parts place for the ease of it, but I have some time to wait for shipping as it will be the next weekend before I can install the new radiator. I'll be curious if someone on this site has experience with any of the eBay merchants.

When I say junker, I mean my son's BMX bike is easily worth more than my car. Pulled into work this morning and the radiator was leaking out a pin hole in the top. I try and keep expenses on this car to the bare minimum. Local parts places are all selling a radiator for the same price (A.Z...

1993 Protege DX 4-door Is there a better place other than the dealer to buy a replacement seal for one door? Gary

Man, water leaks... Was still chasing the leak and finally plugged it yesterday. I pulled the trim off the passenger window pillar and pulled loose that corner of the headliner. Water was coming in at the top and following the trim down to the dash. So one very annoying issue resolved. Now...

Nice call on the drain holes. Both sides were very clogged. I was able to unclog them now I just have to wait for rain. Water is too expensive here just to check for leaks. Thanks, Gary

Thanks! I'll check it out tomorrow and report back. Gary

I haven't been running the A/C. Thanks for the quick reply. Are there obvious places to check on the firewall? I lifted the hood this evening and water is pooling in a flat area at the top left of the engine compartment if standing in front of the car. Just below the lower plastic windshield...

Well, I paid $1350 for a '93 with the following known bad items: Front brakes, shocks/struts, needs timing belt done. It also has hail damage. I was in a hurry so paid more than I should have IMO. I think $1000 with the known issues would have been a more appropriate price. Unfortunately...

1993 Protege 4D Bought it used recently and have discovered there is a leak. The water comes in on the passanger side and drips near the top right of the floor mat. I'm in Colorado so we don't get a lot of rain, and so not a lot of test cases, but it only seems to leak in my driveway which is...

Update. The distributor came in and it is an exact replacement for mine. It included a dual port vacuum advance valve too. I installed it and my '88 is running again, though I need to find a timing light. It will be up for sale soon. What price would you guys put on the following? 1988 323...

It was on ebay. I won the auction for $36 including shipping. A good price I think and worth taking a chance on. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

Just got to work and am reading replies before I _start_ work. FWIW I appreciated being pointed to a forum that deals with my year Mazda. When I first searched for Mazda forums this was the closest one I found so I posted. In any case, I also have a 1993 Protege so its not like I'm going...

SE 4 door 1.6L non-turbo. To the previous person, thanks for sending me away. I'm heading there now. Gary

Still really curious about the above question. If you have any insight, please reply. Thanks, Gary
