I'm wondering... shouldn't the e-fan thermo sensor be located on the bottom radiator hose?
I mean... after all, the point of the e-fan is to kick in and help the cooling system when the radiator's cooling capacity isn't enough -- and this should be measured after the water goes through the radiator... right?
Btw, my BC Racing coils just arrived!
Just some stupid pictures of stuff that should be in my car, but for some reason isn't...

Finally decided to get the coils installed
This is how our equivalent of "ricers" setup their suspension down here in Argentina. They drive cheap european FWD hatchbacks, slammed front and lifted rear
Rear BC Racing coil vs OEM strut + TEIN S-Tech spring
Rear is done!
We weren't able to get the jack under the front, so we improvised
Front BC Racing coil vs OEM strut + TEIN S-Tech spring
Friends helping out while I take pictures
Front coils installed!

Sweet camber plates
All done!
This is how she sits at the moment
Pro-tip: New coilovers give a much better ride than 22 year-old struts and 3 year-old TEIN springs
... also, some stuff I found lying around while installing the new suspension
Boxer brothers
... 325mm sweetness

The exhaust is finally in...
2.5" Primaries... collected to 3"
It REDEFINES what the word LOUD means... it's... ridiculous... it's actually retarded. You actually feel embarrassed while driving the car.
I'll record a couple of videos and upload tomorrow

What did you do to get the belt drive to work? I have the same kit and when I turn the car over the belt walks a couple 8ths of an inch off the e-shaft pulley on the bottom

Are you running the PS pulley over the main one as well?

No, because the temp at the bottom of the rad can be misleading. You want the temp sensor to look directly at how hot the engine is running. That's why the stock temp switch (not sensor) for the auxiliary fan mounts at the top of the thermostat housing. The coolant thermo sensor for the ECU is also near the thermostat (the two pin sensor threaded from the back at the housing).

No I'm just running the alternated, water pump, and e-shaft pulleys, it seems like the alternated pulley needs to go on the shaft further but wont. I work at a machine shop so u could throw it on the lathe but I don't wanna remove material unless I have to

My alternator pulley went in smoothly. I have an FD alternator though. I had to modify the water-pump and main pulleys quite a bit for everything to fit perfectly.
