Might get around to that this weekend.... the relay/switch aspect of it all makes that a bit tricky, though.

Got it. Apparently the relay that was clicking needed a previous circuit completed by the A/C pressure relay/switch before it would actually pass power to the fan. Had to rig up 12v power to the wire that came from the pressure switch once completed. So now it's seeing constant 12v there, but still won't power up until the thermoswitch on the water neck trips and grounds.
Not my favorite solution, but it works and was free.
I guess the radiators are warranteed, but when i left work yesterday, the one in the car had dumped a good gallon of coolant on the ground. I called Autozone to see if they would warranty (i've bought at least one, maybe two from them.) and they're actually lifetime warranty through Autozone.
However, they couldn't find my info in their system for the warranty, and i ended up talking to about 3 different extremely rude people about it. Ended up going to Autozone and paying for another one. Because i'm mad that they didn't enter my warranty info in their system, and at how i was treated yesterday, i'll be warrantying the old radiator through RockAuto, and then "returning" the new one i get to Autozone.
Also fixed the lean conditions last night. (Well, this morning around 5am.) Turns out i've never had the battery/chassis ground on the car. I noticed when i was limping the car from work yesterday that if i rolled up the window or turned the lights on, the AFRs would go way up and the fuel pump whine would drop in pitch a lot.
Threw on a chassis ground. All is well, and i actually need to take some fuel OUT of the system. (Hitting 10.8:1 under boost onset) My headlights are REALLY bright now!
There was a relatively clean MX-6 LX at the junkyard last Saturday, and as I looked at it I thought, "Man, those seats look pretty comfy..." So I hopped in, and man, they are sweet! No wonder you guys like these cars! Subtle looks, turbo power, and comfy well-bolstered seats! I want one!
That GC chassis above is a 626 or a Telstar with a 626 front. The Telstar looks like this:

Did you play with the adjustable seat height, seat bottom tilt, lumbar support, or bolster width?
Yeah the seats are the best stock sets i've ever experienced for sure!
My '89 Probe GT has the worst seats ever!!! I dread driving it long distance trips. I really wish it were an MX-6 instead!

Find some junkyard MX6 or 626 seats. They should bolt in.
Going from the seats in my '88 626 to the units in my Olds Intrigue was horrible. Shockingly bad after the Mazda.

I wish my MX friggin' loved me. I fixed my radiator issue, but now it's still leaking coolant out of the turbo, so i get to deal with that tomorrow i guess. 
I just want to stop fixing things and TURN UP THE BEWST.

Heh, i already have new gaskets for all the water/oil fittings on the turbo. $5.50 shipped from ebay! Support China!

Advance was clearing out stuff and i had a big coupon code.
The results. (Testing stage just to see what sort of difference it'll make. I have something else in the works. This stuff works AMAZINGLY well, though.)
Ignore the dirty counter. Which fender lights to use? (Erebuni bumper covers up the stock side markers.)

They're made for people built like me. 
Well, mine will likely need a new home once the Celica seats go in that you have..... but we already discussed this.
I like the ones on the right. They are more interesting. Now where are the "Giugiaro Design" badges going?

I agree, plus they hide the bulbs which makes it look better.

In reply to dculberson:
Those are off a newer Volvo of some sort. The others are off a 2000 Saab 9-3.
I was leaning towards those as well, so that clinches it!
