[Strugglerzinc]

ghostbusters could advise you there. he usin some fancy schmancy plugs that seems to work better than copper.

[red bwoy]

the only difference i feel between the OEM ngk and my ngk iridium is in my firetruck pocket iridium is $70.00 for one but really last longer than the OEM

[villain]

yup it only lasts longer...but oem is the best

[FullStop]

i heard rumours that the iridiums locally are ripoffs, i'm using silver plugs, they're pretty good, dont know if they are worth the price cant remember the price exactly, just remember that they were a little more than the iridiums.

Right. I got my timing belt changed on Saturday. I don't know if it is in my head but the car feels even more responsive. I want to change my tranny fluid and the mech told me that I could get the transmission filter by a parts place in Chaguanas. I can't remember the name. Ram something. Could any one help?.

[red bwoy]

*sigh*

i know it ent go be cheap...one can dream.

[Zorak]

jus lookin at the obx headers available and was wondering if they'd work on my car. they're for the 2.0 and i've got the 1.5
well, they've got one specifically saying for the 2.0 and the other says is for the protege/mx 3 1.6/1.8

[red bwoy]

the only one that could work is the 1.6 2.0 f.s. cant work

Ahhh! That's the name. Thanks.

[villain]

or cut the flange off your existing header 4-1 and weld it to the obx...

ok it might not be simple like that but you get the idea...let them make a flange for you if possible

[TurboDrive]

Yeah folks I got the tranny filter from Ramoutar/Chaguanas auto supplies for $90.00 FYI.

[Strugglerzinc]

is it just a mesh strainer or an actual filter?

[TurboDrive]

Black plastic housing with a cloth filter inside. Heard the mech say that they are a waste of time.

Went to get a final pricing to redo exhaust in 2" piping. Greene's in California said $1200 for piping only.

Gone back home to contemplate how to do this thing for cheap and i notice the top of my radiator seeping water. Mind you, this was not so just before i went by Greene...it WAS good... just effin half hour ago.

Anyways call all over lookin for a new rad as i dont want to use FU except as a last resort. No one have. Gone to mih regular parts place to arks the man if he could source one and lo and behold...he sells new radiators

He have for the BJ, B14,15,Civic etc etc all @ $1400 2 core metal.
Brand is GEW, an Indian manufacturer. Reputable Auto in Couva. If you need a new rad then this is an option.



So far so good. Made a San Souci run (and i come bak home to see nex Mazda run up San Souci ) and no issues.



Brakes question now....

Raybestos Brake Pads....

Any good? i remember someone said they used them...Price here in Trini?

Also seeing Organic, Semi Metallic and Ceramic (most expensive) which is the 2nr recommendation?

[Protege 2NR]

u think a 2 core radiator will be better that the metal rad in a protege

[nareshseep]

you rebuilt your rediator before?

[Protege 2NR]

no i didnt rebuild, i bought a new one, a metal one, cause d stock plastic one top pan burst

[nareshseep]

2 core will work better I , more surface area to air ratio so cooling will be improved.

[Protege 2NR]

OOH, OK COOL, SO MY AC SHUD WOK BETTER AND TING ONE TIME

[Strugglerzinc]

So ignore mih Raybestos question.....

[red bwoy]

raybestos works fine been using them a while now don't have on a set presently but i swear by them they not as good as ebc green stuff or hawk but with the price difference it good enough

[mazdamig]

I using Semi Metallic OHK no brake dust but it a little noise
