For Sale. BRAND NEW in the box never installed Manifold, EGR, and gaskets as pictured. Purchased in 2007 for a project that never happened and of course now car is gone. Was for a mazdaspeed protege with FS motor, but also fits, I think, any FS engine. Improved flow over stock IM. Respond here...

no kidding. thanks man. So the t-stat opens when coolant in the engine reaches 180ish and is fully open when coolant reaches 192. Coolant heats up through the engine and passes by the temp sender at the top rad hose, and cools down through the rad. the cooler water then would act to close the...

yes - cold tends to fall. But I do know some systems are "reverse flow", and since everything I've ever worked on had the T-stat at the top rad hose and the top hose was always hotter, I didn't know if the proteges were different because the tstat is on the lower hose. Plus there's a pump...

The pro is the first car I've had with the thermostat on the lower hose. Does coolant flow UP through the rad? Should the lower rad hose be hotter or colder than the upper?

I think the last time I "ran" a red due to looking down, amber, s*** happens, was in 1990... good luck with it. why don't you go run a bunch of reds and test it out.

i got you all beat so far. 34. Which is why I'm not driving a yellow or orange one...

plus you can clearly see in climbing that ramp that the subarus both have the rear wheels on the solid part when they first start moving, giving some momentum to the whole trial. On the wet course the driver obviously pushed the competitors cars harder and with a scandanavian flick style...

not too much snow around this year. But I love this pic so much I had to share... from last year.

88000km. and very slowly climbing now that I've had my beater on the road for a year... :) Greyspeed, whats your board name on toprotege?

turbosmart kompact dual port will clamp right into the stock location for the bpv, no hard pipes or welding required. Nice to have hardpipes, but not necessary with this valve. I run this on my 323 and it's fantastic. I run the big brother on my msp and might even switch it to this valve this year.

'cause the fast & fun & no one expects a 323 to do the things these things can do. .... and ..... they're relatively cheap to mod to get all sorts of extra power out of them. good luck with the sale. It looks reallllly clean.

maybe there's an oil cooler under that giant scoop. I was going to build a ram air (mini compared to this mess! ) through an oil cooler at one point. Still might. ... but this? *shakes head* one of the stupidest things I've ever seen.

yup. power steering belt or alternator belt. Prob the alternator is my guess, since it stops after a little while. If it was PS, it would more likely squeal when there was load on the PS pump as well as when cold. But if one's squealing, chances are that both are due for replacement (or simply...

this thread makes me laugh. so many tough guys on the internet. Have fun y'all, let the entertainment continue. Oh yeah, and good luck with the new toronto forum. fa *cough*
