What have you done to your MSP today?

Random question for u msp owners, anyone ever use a standard protege radiator Instead of the msp one? My radiator has a crack n I notice the one I picked up is larger, which isn't an issue bc I have a front mount so that area is empty. Figured the larger radiator would only benifit me anyways jst haven't ran across any threads on this

its not actually larger but yes its been done

Its longer yes, but the capacity is less. People in hotter areas have reported over heating in stop start traffic. you'll also need the right radiator brackets.

i emailed TB Performance about chasis braces for the proteges and here is his response. Someone email him if your in the temecula california area!!! tbperformanceproducts@gmail.com

"This is word for word from his email... We havent had one come in for testing as of yet however we have 3 weeks left on our shops lease where we can do testing(after that we are moving to a shop where we cannot do anymore test cars) so If you can get a protege out to us in that time we would love to get some work done :D"

Weren't there fitment issues with the stock SMIC with the regular radiator?

you need different brackets because the p5 rad isn't as tall. He said he had a FMIC so the SMIC would be removed with the leaky rad but yeah, can't have both p5 rad & SMIC.
 
Got an ABS and e-brake light on in the car. Was about to spend a lot of money on a new scanner tool that supports enhanced OBD2 codes, but thankfully I looked up how to read the ABS code. Seems easy and I'll be taking care of that tonight.

so i installed the radiator anyways bc i needed to get home and yes i have a front mount so no side mount. i modified the stock brackets, it worked just fine. the fans took some time to get to fit perfect but i got those to work too.

Theres a possibility this is the last brand new full set of Illuminas in the country for who knows how long...believe me, I checked, anyone that says they have them in stock, dont have all 4.
