A Mishimoto rad was on the to do list for the season and already ordered. I never noticed a resistor on the fan housing but i did blow the fan out last season when it was dying. It was full of carbon which leads me to believe the brushes are done. It does go into high speed though.
I thought the speed was controlled by the CCM on our cars!?
The wife and i had our first drive of the season and wound up there today after unwrapping the beast. Ordered a new motor (not assembly) and Mishimoto rad.
