I had this exact problem.. except I got stuck in inbetween texas an florida for a day or so trying to get it fixed.. there were no mechanics to be found, and I had no tools.. so 5-6 hours with the heater full blast got me back to florida and I fixed it there. All that for a $7 part and about...

how would I check that? I'm trying to eliminate possibilites here.. I really don't want to have to buy a new radiator. I've installed the new thermo, double checked everything, etc.. any tips would be greatly appreciated Kyle

ignore that.. I figured it out soon after that post. However, I'm still overheating badly.. I have a feeling I put the sealing gasket on backwards which is not letting it seal... however, if not.. I have no idea what the problem is.. other than perhaps a dead radiator. Kyle

a stupid question I'm sure.. but is the thermo on the p5 located on the top or bottom radiator hose? I've looked at a couple different guides, and seen both listed.. the diagram in the service manual linked in the sticky shows what appears to be the lower one, where it connects near the...

ok, i need to replace the glass in the back left door, the small window not the big one. The glass came out fine (had some help seeing as it was broken into and there was no glass anymore :)) I removed the weather stripping around it and unscrewed the screw that holds the window brace...

well since this is back.. I should update a bit.. get a GOOD alarm!! Since this post, my stuff got jacked. Amp and radio, gone. The didn't get the sub because I accidently (whoops) glued it to the floorboard w/ liquid nails when I install it.

Ok, I get woken up this morning at 7am by my dad... my car was broken into. They took my new alpine 9807 head unit, and my avionixx 440.4 amp. In the process, they tried to pry off my front door handle (wtf?? are they retarded?).. then decided to break my small back window..which is of course...

re Just a warning.. be sure to check your local laws to see if the screens are even legal. Several states are starting to try and outlaw any video screen that can be seen by the driver (obvious reasons)..with the exception of navigational systems. That means those fancy in-dash players would...

Ok, I'm quite happy with my system now.. but i've got a few more questions. On my amp (avionixx 440.4) there are frequency settings for the built in crossover filters. Any suggestions on where to set them? I have the front spkrs and the sub running the amp. Also, I've just started to notice...

re on a random side note that you might find amusing.. My friend's dad just finished installing his "system" He mounted 2 12" subs on each side of his car, facing outward. Nothing amazing, nothing that sounds good.. they're even turned off 99% of the time. Why you ask? "To annoy the hell...

Ok guys. First, a MASSIVE THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY WHO HELPED ME!! I couldn't have done this without you guys. 1st Mp3, Blue LEDz (not sure if he visits this board or not..helped me on the protegeclub board), Zoooom (thanks for the dash kit), and everybody I know I'm missing.. you guys ROCK...

Well on a good note today, I finally found a blown fuse. Replaced it and bingo, remote locks work, interior lights work again, and the radio works. My HU is still fried.. but at least there is nothing else. I rewired the speaker outputs from the amp so that they are now in the right place. I...

The head unit was brand new. The soldered connections were covered with heat shrink. The problem was the jolt it got from the amp.. just cooked it. Stupid wiring = Huge pain heh... Kyle

I used at metra wiring harness that plugs my factory harness into the alpine harness. I soldered the wires from the alpine harness into my metra harness.. then that just plugs into the factory harness. The smoke was the HU being fried. If you read the previous 6 step post.. you'll know that the...

1 more thing.. I noticed today that my remote door locks don't work anymore now. The power locks are fine.. but the remote doesn't do jack. Is there a seperate fuse for that that I may have blown? If so, could that be linked somehow to my other problems? Or is it just that I need to reprogram...

Step 1-6: Follow instructions for making smoke effects from your dash. Step 7: Realize that when you put in a different head unit and hook it up.. it doesn't work. So then, I'm screwed. I checked all the fuses and connections. Thought it might be the ground blew when it tried to ground all the...

unfortunatly, this is what I get for going to Ebay. It was a dealer on ebay.. but still.. doubt I'll get any help there. Kyle

Oh I'm not mad at him.. I never even complained about it. The way I see it, it's half my fault for not making sure he understood exactly what the point was, and for not triple checking it. He's a brilliant guy, just didn't understand what I was doing exactly. He offered to buy the head unit, I...

that feeling is exactly why I didn't pay somebody to do this yet. Despite all the problems, all the little bitty insignificant problems, etc.. I still feel better trying and f'ing up and I would if I had paid somebody to do it all for me. I just gotta figure out if the HU is permenatly screwed...

Step 1: Let somebody else do your soldering for you. Step 2: Don't double check it. Step 3: Be really tired when you look at it. Step 4: Miss the fact that your amp speaker out puts are being run into your head unit, instead of into the wiring harness feeding the speakers. Step 5: Connect...
