Thumbs down in my frustration...

SO the oil fitting i ordered was SUPPOSE to be a -4an and what i get in the mail is a -6an, i also paid for 3 day shipping and it was recieved in 11 days. the replacement fan i bought from fleabay on the auction said 90-95, i open the box today 99-2005 , shipping was more than the part so i left negative feedback. i broke the fan housing because i was trying to get it off and was just too pissed off to work it off slowly.

i ordered a new fitting hopefully those noobs get it right this time.

and now i need to source the radiator fan shroud+fan COOLING not AC fan.plz help my nubness

if anyone can help me in my time of need. i was planning on having my turbo miata running by the end of the week but i guess its going to be longer than that

How bad did you break the shroud? Plastic Epoxy ftmfw if you can.

Just curious, why did you try to remove the fan and housing?

a year ago when i first started to put on the kit my buddy decided to put a socket in the fan while it was running and busted 3 blades. i figured that this would need to be replaced

Let me know if you still are in need of a fan/shrouding or what not. I'm pretty sure I have one/several laying in my garage. Free if your local and pick it up.

check your inbox, I shipped it out today, there's a small piece of the shrouding that's broken off, probably just under a square inch or so, hopefully its not a big problem. I'm fairly certain it wasn't there when I took it off, musta been from my carport collapsing around it.

If anyone else is looking at this thread, I have the AC fan and stock radiator available to whomever wants it. (for a price you vultures)
