Submitted Mishimoto radiator claim

At least it's a lifetime warranty and sounds like they just send you out a new one.

Once I am done my tuning, I will pick one up. I'd like to be able to always view fuel trims and KR.

Can never have too much info.

I just can't leave shit well enough alone, need to constantly tinker with shit.

While I do have HPTuners, this would be cool to have in the truck at all times. Very cool, can configure the dash as well as the touch screen. Does 0-60, 1/4 mile, etc as well.

Damn that’s pretty slick! Wonder if they have a similar one for the NBS..

Got the flex fuel in. Ran into two issues. Of course the easy stuff is always the shit that gives me problems.

1) I stupidly broke the molex connector clip inside the ECM connector. The connector hole was blocked, so I stuck a pick inside of it to open the hole. Of course the clip inside broke. I solved it by super gluing the molex connector in place just enough so it could be inserted correctly into the ECM.

2) Out of the box, the flex fuel line that came with the kit leaked. The worst part about this is you can't easily remove it once it's in, a regular fuel disconnect tool doesn't work because the sensor takes up that space you need to slide the tool on. I ended up taking the flare fittings completely off and tightened the shit out of them, and that seems to have solved the problem. Still didn't like that it leaked right away though.

Went to the new E85 station 20 mins away and filled up half a tank. It correctly read the fuel. I havent played with any spark yet, but I am happy my ghetto super glue fix worked!

That's pretty cool!

I have HP tuners as well, hard to justify that cost on top of the HP Tuners...
Would be nice if it didn't need to be stuck into the OBD2 port in order to work though...

Lets see if flex fuel, more tuning, faster shifting and my corsa can get the 0-60 to 5.3 seconds.

Will need to wait til next week though.

Mishimoto is sending me out a brand new replacement, do not even have to send back the old one. I am thinking with a warranty like this, their business model is to make really cheap stuff and just jack the price up to cover issues.

Pretty common among many brands.

Yeah they just make you pay $50 to ship.

And then two gallons of Dexcool is another $35.

I would say you get what you pay for, but these things aren't cheap.
