    USDM heater core =/= JDM heater core

    Just in case anyone was wondering...

    Too bad I didn't realize this until I ripped my whole dash out. Whoopz.

    Update: a few hacksaws, some knives, a big woodworking file, lots of silicone, lots of swearing, and bloodied hands later... you can use a JDM heater core in a USDM car.

        Not that I know of, but I head out back to school (5 1/2 hour drive in sub 30-degree weather) tomorrow and nowhere had a USDM heater core in stock.

        The JDM heater core is 1/2" taller than the UDSM one, if that has adds any benefits.

          better cooling/heating I would guess. do you want to swap? I'd like a thicker core for my 40 below winters, and you want a usdm one.
          No car! I soldz it. Now I have a truck. I like it, but apparently it has a hard time keeping up with a slightly modified 4WD protege with half the hp. Neat.

            Too late. I already carved up my car to make the JDM one fit! :D

                    sweet, my brother and a ton of my friends go there. i've been up there like 3 times and its really fun. bet you're pretty happy with the outcome of the apple cup this year!

                    just watch out, when my brother was returning for thanksgiving, his friend was driving and swerved a little when he changed cd's so a cop pulled them over and asked if they could search the car. they knew they had the right to say no but said yea figuring it would take less time if they just went along with it. long story short the cops were really rude and made a mess of everything in the car and made them sit out in freezing temperatures for about an hour wearing hardly any clothes. my other friend that goes there got a fatty speeding ticket from a plane.
