Just finished installing new radiator and wiring the new fans with a 60amp mega fuse and 2 30 amp relays.
Went to test it and fans dont come on, start checking and double checking shit and making sure its wired right and nothing. You can hear the relays click on but fans dont move.
I break out the meter and guess what, the damn fans are getting power and NEITHER of them work. What the hell are the odds of that?
I didn't test fire the fans prior to installing assuming there couldn't be an issue. Damn I am irritated right now. I hope the company I bought the set up from will exchange them. [Reply]

Is there still a recommendation on changing engine oil based on length of time passed. My wife's Civic goes 5-6k before the oil life reading dips below 30%, which is when we change it. This happens about twice per year as she drives about 12k miles. If I start driving her car and only put about 6k miles on it for the year (shorter commute), can I go a full year without changing the oil or should I still do it every 6 months?
Also, looking at purchasing a Mazda CX-9. The 2.5 L, 4 cylinder turbo has quite a bit more getup than I expected from a full size SUV. Much more so than the V6 offered on prior year models and obviously the V6's have worse gas mileage as well. I figured there would be quite a turbo lag but it sure doesn't feel like it to me. I read that Mazda does the following to combat turbo lag.
There's still a turbo lag, depending on the situation. I have a 2016 CX-5. [Reply]
Finally had the weather break long enough to start throwing some parts on this thing. Next up is a catless downpipe, coilovers, new endlinks, and polyurethane motor mounts.

I had pretty nasty subie 6 years ago or so, I may have even posted about it in this thread.
Really liked that car, wish I still had it plus the TA. [Reply]
Going to order a battery charger for the Mustang since it will be sitting quite a bit more than it used to. Anything I need to know about these things? I would say at most the car will sit 1-2 months at a time. I just know how killer the Phoenix heat is on car batteries regardless of sitting or being used.

This is an area where cheap won't hurt none. Every family member I know has one in the glove compartment or on their lawn mower, and no one's had any problem using it when the need arose.
