i just bought a 98 mazda pro/lx from a guy for 2200 dollors, the engine ran fine but the radiator had a hole in it..so now the engine knocks. could the rods be blown or is it because the hole in the radiator..Also there is some body kits on nopi.com and wings west for the proteges. 1 more question did anybody ever trade out aq 1.8l for the 1.5..thank you very much..john
