Cooling fan upgrade Solution using Mitsubishi parts

[RayPeters]

First off, its damn near 3 am and I finally got mediacom working again so here's a quick poto documentary of my upgrade from a cooked and really abused factory passenger side single fan to a properly shrouded variable speed fan from a late model Galant.

Step 1: Modify your DSM to the point where the stock fans don't fit anymore.
Step 2: Try several different kinds of slim fans that really don't ever quite work right.

Step 6: Cut and modify it until it fits, more on this later.
Step 7: Post more pics of install because that's what everyone is looking for anyway. Also its now after 3 am.
