Today I drove my Protege for the first time since I got the thermostat clearance issue all resolved. The car is once again operable and I took it for a spin around the block. Only one problem. I had her sitting outside for the night after having installed everything and filling up the coolant system. It rained. Apparently the seal around my trunk side vent decided it would no longer do the whole sealing thing. I get out of the driveway and head to the stop sign only to have an onrush of water pour into the vehicle from the trunk when I hit the brakes. Needless to say I spent all day ripping out the interior, drying it out, and resealing the trunk vent with windo-weld. I have also found that the trunk weather seal is going bad in my investigations, so will be ordering a replacement for that. But for now the car is back together again, save the back seat (still drying) and without the floors cushioning. It was simply too saturated to save and would have started to mildew. Anyway, I have images of the interior being torn apart on my garage page. I will say though that the car drives with a lot more spunk after putting the header in. I had to put the CS silencer into the exhaust though as it was too loud without.
