hello all..... I am a new 03 protege5 owner. I have only owned 1 ford and lots of chevy's. this is all new for me. going from a 79 malibu to an 03 protege5. V8 to a 4. from the only power things in the malibu was power brakes and power stearing, to a fully loaded protege5. now I have to learn how to put power in this one. I dont know much about the boost and blowoff valves. I did'ent even know how to work the windshield washer squriter...... have had a chevy for the last 12 or 13 years. hope everyone in hear can help me put some zoom zoom in my protege5. first thing I want is to start off with a cold air intake...... first thing I have found was the dunlop's are s@$% in the snow....lol

Welcome! First off what kind of power are you looking for? how much are you willing to spend? Do you want to stay NA or go turbo?
Been gone all weekend and get back today to spend some quality time with the P5 and she goes and breaks the front right endlink while I'm making a U-turn on flat level ground not pushing hard at all. stupid b1tch. I feel like driving her off a cliff. This makes endlink #5 that she has broken. edit. *****.
Nice sig pic, your silver P5 looks Sand Mica-ish.
Thanks! I thought so too, but my gf made it for me, so I can't really complain.
patiently waiting for parking in the structure at ward center. Two cars away some guys are about to leave and this honda cuts in front of me and steals my parking. Kinda ticked off i rev the sh1t out of my motor till it sounds like gran turismo in the parking structure. I look left the right pop my clutch pull the hamd brake and lay a 30ft burn out tire track. Its ok i found parking outside the structure but thepoint is ppl are pricks when it ces to parking and i dont ecen want the stall if someone wants to argue about it. If i wasnt with my gf i would have gone back and oops.
too feminine lol
I will be ordering some goodies this week, hopefully. Gimmie your thoughts.
I'll be ordering a new shortblock from Ken as soon as the warranty company says go, and, so everyone knows, I won't be going the route of the turbo. It'll be cheaper for now to stay N/A. With that being said, here's the list I'm working on that the mechanic is gonna put in on the warranty companies dime
New clutch- At most, I'll have a header, intake, midpipe, and exhaust. Is the Exedy OEM replacment good enough? Or, should I step up to a Stage 1?
Flywheel- with said mods, is it worth the $350?
AWR tranny mount- I've already got a front, working on getting a back from amember on here, and, will add the tranny mount as well
I think that's all for now. Whatcha think?

Swapped out the P5 badge for 323F. Also have 323Astina but 323F won out. Looks cleaner, simpler, & confusing to others.lol. Pic of badge is still in camera. Redid my intake outta my box o intakes piecing together a different one with a 3" elbow from filter to MAF-2.75", MAF to 2.5" short elbow into throttle body. That elbow also has mounting for vacuum thing. NA so thinking the tapering funnel effect from filter to TB might create a little velocity. Yeah, I know, zero to micro more probably. Also added an oil catch can to the PCV side between PCV & intake manifold. Another test to see if that's where 1/4 quart is going every 7-10 days. Not thinking any is going into air intake because inside there is completely clean & nothing on the throttle plate. I want it to burn gas only. Don't want ecu dumping in more fuel to compensate for "premix" situation either. And, no, no leaks or smoking & compression good accross all cyl.

I bought a replacement blade for my driver's side wiper and drove it around to do some errands. Also bought seafoam, new k&n oil filter, and synthetic blend oil for an oil change soon...
